I love looking through these to get a look at what new books are coming out during the year. These never disappoint. There are several that I am super excited to get to!

A tantalizing taste of many romance books, I read the Buzz Books 2020 cover to cover! Love the opportunity to request full digital copies at the end.

Advance digital copy provided by NetGalley. Thank you!

This is my first Buzzbook. I thought it was just going to be a list of upcoming books, which is right up my alley anyway, but this is so much better than I thought. I love that it is a book of book excerpts! What a great way to introduce a book and give the potential reader/reviewer an idea of whether to read it or not.

While I'm not typically a romance reader, I found some books here that I think will be very good. I especially like the historical romance selections.

I will be getting all the Buzzbooks from now on. I highly recommend them!

I love these Buzz Books- they give me such a great idea of what's coming up. Plus, I have kind of a thing for 1st sentences and 1st chapters! Thanks for the great read, NetGalley!

Super collection of diverse authors to preview. I enjoyed the samples and look forward to reading full length works by some of these authors in the near future.

Good list and easy to follow. I love their lists, they are great for finding new books and see what is coming up. Everything is in one place.

Though I don't really read romances, I find the "Buzz Books" options to be a good way of looking into upcoming romance books and their authors to see if there are any I may want to read.

I definitely enjoy reading previews of a bunch of romance novels coming out throughout the year! This is a great way to get a feel for what you may like and want to pick up in the future.

New Orleans is my favorite get away and any book that reminds me of what it means to miss New Orleans is a winner. If that same book is written by Mrs. Brenda Jackson, how can the reader loose. Vanessa's observation walking into the bakery, "Victoria Madaris entered Susan’s Bakery and immediately inhaled the aroma of beignets. They smelled divine and....," (B. Jackson), makes the reader long for more observations of this Southern city. I can't wait for the entire book to be published for the public. My library patrons love Mrs. Jackson's books too!

Lots of great new books coming in romance! Looking forward to the new Susan Andersen and Mona Shroff.

I always look forward to reading the Buzz Books overview of what books are going to be released. Publishers Launch does a great job of aggregating new releases. I especially appreciate the specific genre breakdowns, and romance is one of my favorites!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.

This was perfect! Several snippets from Romance books coming out next fall/winter. Just enough to give you a general idea about the book and ramp up your excitement to read them in full. I have definitely added several of these to my TBR and I am eagerly awaiting finding time to read them!

I love reading these Buzz samplers! Each book is a completely different experience and some really capture my interest. Last year’s edition was my first and I found a couple of books I was really excited about reading. It’s a great way to find books and authors you may never have heard of otherwise. It’s easy to skip through the ones that don’t interest you on a Kindle too as each book is a chapter heading. It’s like the book version of movie trailers so you can get different experiences and see which ones are right for you.

A great introduction to some of the romance books coming out in the near future.
Its great to get a bit of a feel for what the books are about but I really liked two of those featured and now need to wait until they are published.
If your interested in whats coming up then this is the book for you - a quick read.

Many thanks to Edelweiss, NetGalley and Publishers Lunch for an ARC in exchange for an honest book review. My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and independent of receiving an advance copy.


In this issue of Buzz Books Romance there are 14 excerpts of a range of romance novels coming out over the next few months. Romance novels are a funny thing. Some of them follow the trope of guy/girl meet, there’s tension - they either can’t stand each other or have to stay away from each other, and of course you are guaranteed a happy ending. Some have steamy scenes and some are very PG. For the most part, I am not interested in this kind, although every once in a while I can get into one of these stories.

This sampling offers some of these types, there is historical fiction, a few LGBTQ stories, an Amish story (yes, this is a type), some more humorous offerings and other general stories. I tend to gravitate towards the stories that have the woman off on a personal journey, usually relocated to a small town, hopefully coastal. Then, even though she isn’t looking for it, love finds her.

I did end up adding a few to my list that I’m looking forward to. I really love these Buzz Books because you can get a sense of what the novel is like. This really helps in making better choices on books that you want and not wasting time or money on those you don’t.

This was a great mix of snippets from upcoming romance novels and I'm excited to read them all! I especially enjoyed Paris is Always a Good Idea, How to Fail at Flirty, and Meet you in the Middle.
