As always, Buzz Books provides a great opportunity to explore anticipated titles. This latest romance round offers substantial samples of some of 2020's most compelling offerings. I've added a couple of these titles to my list (Marina Adair's RomEantically Challenged, Rosie Danan's The Roommate), and I got a solid enough taste of a few others (namely Devon Daniels's Meet You in the Middle) to know I want to avoid them. Thanks, Publishers Lunch!

thank you Net Galley for this book -- I enjoyed reading the first of a few new books that are coming out in 2020. I added several to by TBR pile. I am looking forward to reading the entire books

A collection of excerpts from upcoming books. Nice to have a collection to look through to see what I might be interested in

I definitely will be putting these on my TBR! A few don’t interest me as much but all sound very good.

I really didn't find many great titles in this list books. This was my first time browsing from the book lists but i don't think that i am going to request any of these titles!

Thank you Publishers Lunch and NetGalley for the digital copy of Buzz Books 2020: Romance! This year's edition put quite a few upcoming books on my radar.

Many thanks to all the publishers that submitted excerpts for this year's edition!

I always enjoy seeing previews of coming attractions, though I do have to wonder why a certain political book is getting so much buzz.

I appreciate the advanced preview! It's always nice to get a chance to see the first pages of a book to get a clue as to both the plot and the writing style.

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

I love these Buzz Books and really enjoy going through them
They list what's up and coming in the publishing world and whet's the appetite in letting you read excerpts and chapters so when the book comes up for advanced reading I usually can't wait to get stuck in

Would thoroughly recommend

I so enjoyed reading the Romance edition of Buzz Books last year that I marked its release date in my 2020 calendar so I wouldn’t miss it. Unfortunately, when I finally downloaded my coveted galley, I didn’t recognize any of the 14 authors listed in the table of contents. Even more unfortunate was that I couldn’t see myself enjoying any of the excerpts as full length novels. And I really didn’t understand why three of the excerpts were politically oriented - one with legislative aides, one with a Senator, and one with a Senatorial candidate. Both “Meet Me in the Middle” and “The Roommate” have been hyped in targeted emails from NetGalley, so it was nice to have the opportunity to read the excerpts before deciding that neither novel was for me. Hopefully, next year’s edition will have more to my liking.

I am a huge sucker for a good romance novel and look forward to reading many of these on the list. Buzz books are always so much fun to read and get an idea of what is out there.

A great selection of upcoming romance novels for 2020 from numerous authors, with several sounding like they be to my taste.

This overview of new releases is quite helpful to gauge which titles might be interesting in the coming months. There is great variety and diversity and I can't wait to dive deeper into some of those titles.

Some fun teasers in here. I did end up requesting an ARC for one of these, but the real reason I requested this was to see if Melissa Ferguson's new book was available for download, and sadly, it was not.

A great preview of upcoming releases. I now have a few new books on my radar. Thank you to NetGalley for the sneak peek.

I’ve recently jumped head first into romance (specifically contemporary romance) and I was so excited to read a few excerpts of some upcoming releases. A few of these aren’t quite my style, but I was totally hooked on both Rosie Danan’s The Roommate and Jenn McKinlay’s Paris is Always a Good Idea. I’m excited to get my hands on a full copy of these two - I need to know more!

This is a wonderful collection of excerpts for new released to be excited about. I really loved that there is a conscious effort to diversify and celebrate 'own voices' authors in 2020. The Buzz Books list is a great way of finding new authors who you will probably love and I am thrilled to have added a number of books to my 2020 TBR pile.

Great lineup for Buzz Books 2020 Romance. I think I requested nearly all books in this edition and if approved will be set for many winter days enjoying the wonderful words of these authors.
