Really enjoyed the Buzz Books. It is full of wonderful books that I will definitely read when they are published.

I love Buzz Books, they give you a little snippet of multiple stories and introduce you to authors that you may well have overlooked. There's just enough to get you interested and figure out if it's a book or style of writing that you may like, and there were definitely a few new authors to me in here that I want to read - I especially loved the Judith McNaught and Priscilla Oliveras excerpts. There's also the option to request/read them at the end of each excerpt which I really like. Very clever idea.

I always love these Buzz Books samplers - they are a great way to discover new-to-me authors that I wouldn't otherwise have had a chance to check out. I plan to read and review several of the books previewed in this edition upon release.

Some really great titles in the Romance Buzz Books 2018 instalment. I have requested many and hope I will be approved for some, if not I will definitely be purchasing them.


Thanks once again NetGalley for the preview of what I expect will be some really excellent titles.

Thank you for great samples! Not all samples spoke to me, but I look forward to the books of Meg Tilly, Karen Rose, Pricilla Oliveras and Jane Feather. It's really great to be able to read samples like this.

With so many books coming out soon, particularly in the Romance genre, I’m glad that there’s a handy reference like Buzz Books. It collates notable titles per category and provides summaries and excerpts to give a sampling of the work.

This is a great reference guide for upcoming romance titles. It includes a collection of excerpts of soon-to-be-published romance books for 2018.

It contains an introduction followed by a section with a section of Historical, Romantic Suspense, Contemporary, and Paranormal Romance. After that there are summary and excepts by publishers. I particularly enjoyed the excerpt for ON MAGNOLIA LANE y Denise Hunter.

Overall, a great list of information on buzzing romance titles for 2018.

Buzz Books is a great resource to use to help me decide what to read this Fall. There are so many books to look forward to reading. This edition includes all types of romance books including historical romance and romantic suspense. I like the links at the end of excerpts that makes it so easy to get the book.

I really enjoyed the variety in the titles presented. I was exposed to many new to Me authors. I am so excited for the release of Intercepted by Alexa Martin. Great start to a fun read. Thanks Publishers Lunch for the copy of this title for review via NetGalley.

I adore using this publication for building my Fall TBR to share on my bookstagram account! I request some of the books from NetGalley and put the rest on my library and purchase lists.

Previews of many upcoming books!

Reading the previews wet my appetite and blew my book budget on preordering a lot of the books covered in the previews. The books I’m especially excited about are:
In A Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston which are some of the funniest paranormal stories that I read.
Intercepted by Alexa Martin which I preorder just on the preview!
Solace Island by Meg Tilly which wanted to read right away!

What a great resource for romance readers. I now have a much longer list of books for my "to be read list."

Was this review helpful?

I’ve only recently discovered Buzz Books and the excerpts of imminent releases and have to admit it’s a very good way to try new authors. There are two included here (Karen Rose and Shelly Laurenston) who are auto buys for me due to very good reasons. Ms Rose writes the darkest romance suspense that I’ve ever read and Ms Laurenston always delivers insanely hilarious characters with a paranormal edge.
So straight away two other stories here caught my imagination , Annie Becker whilst new to me certainly pens a very unique time travel idea with from what I’ve read here a delicious and very naughty twist ! It certainly fits into my preferred paranormal style although just how a happy ending will be achieved I’ve yet to discover so this is going on my wish list.
Now I don’t read a lot of what’s described as contemporary romance but The Memory House really captured my interest with a heroine who truly needs her life turning around and I’m very keen to find out what Rachel Hauck has planned.
Obviously there’s more here to tempt readers from historical, second chance romance and even a sports romance so I think if like me you enjoy knowing there’s going to be a happy ending no matter how much angst before it then something here will appeal. I thoroughly enjoyed these snippets although if honest at times wanted much more but like everyone else I guess I have to wait for release day.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair
