This Buzz Book sample was great! I added several of these titles to my TBR list! Definitely check it out if you are a romance reader!

Super excited for this set! I primarily got this for the excerpt of Scarlett St. Clair's Queen of Myths and Monsters, but I'm new to most of the rest of these authors (I primarily read fantasy or historical romance). Hopefully I can find one or two new favorites.

Tons of teasers! My thoughts on the books included:

Kate Clayborn, Georgie All Along - Possible grumpy/sunshine? Main character returning to small town with old crush vibes. Immediately pulled me in. Want to read. ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Anna Gomez, Where the Sun Rises - Opposites attract, set in Hawaii with excellent diversity but unfortunately it didn't really grab me. Might be a slow-burning story but I wasn't feeling it. ✔️✔️

Chantel Guertin, Gigi, Listening - I'd seen this on NetGalley but the blurb didn't pull me in. However, it reads better than it initially sounds. Will probably read. ✔️✔️✔️

Jasmine Guillory, Drunk On love - Family owned winery. Meets new (back) in town man at local bar. Left wanting more! Will read. ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Sarah Hawley, A Witch's Guide To Fake-Dating a Demon - Accidentally summons a demon. So much humour. I LOVED this! Definitely want to read ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Abby Jimenez, Just My Type - Following Briana from POYW. I mean, it's Abby Jimenez! Of COURSE I want to read more!! And Jacob? Already love that cinnamon roll and his hilarious family 🥰 ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️++++++

Anita Kelly, Something Wild & Wonderful - Found Family m/m romance. Loved the blurb. As meet-cutes go, this one was pretty exhilarating! Would love to read more. ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Taj McCoy, Zora Dizon Books Her Happy Ending - Book store owner love triangle with author and his friend. Want to read. ✔️✔️✔️✔️

Kennedy Ryan, Before I Let Go - second chance romance with HUGE stakes. Want to read. ✔️✔️✔️✔️

Amber D. Samuel, The Many Dates of Indigo - Best friend romance. Didn't really grab me but might get better. ✔️✔️

Kylie Scott, End Of Story - Ex's best friend in fixer-up DIY tale with a twist. Loved the blurb and really enjoyed the extract. Want to read. ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Minerva Spencer, The Boxing Baroness- DNR as not a genre I enjoy reading.

Scarlett St. Clair, Queen of Myth And Monsters - DNR as not a genre I enjoy reading.

Anna Todd, The Falling - ex soldier with emotional wounds on base romance. Blurb was intriguing. Not my usual read but might give it a try. ✔️✔️✔️

Allison Winn Scotch, The Rewind - had me at the blurb! Very FRIENDS in Vegas vibes. Exes wake up married. Want to read! ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

*Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to leave an honest review*

Ive never picked up one of these samplers before and I love how fun they are. As a big romance reader, I found they gave enough of a view of a story to want to read them all!

This is the first BuzzBooks I’ve picked up. Love a sampler collection. It helped me make a list for my TBR.

This is such a fantastic way to preview books I've been excited about and also to discover new books/authors to look forward to! Thank you, NetGalley, for putting this together. It's such a useful tool for reviewers.

Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn
I want to hear more about the revitalization of Georgie’s hometown, her friendship with Bel, her family relationships, and her growing attraction to Levi. I'm guessing this is an enemies-to-lovers trope and I'm here for it! There seems to be a few more deeper themes here, too, like finding where you belong and learning how to ask for help. I'm so curious how the rest of Georgie's story goes!

Where the Sun Rises by Anna Gomez and Kristoffer Oklahoma
This seems like a cute premise and I haven't read many romance novels featuring characters who live in Hawaii. However, it's hard to get a glimpse of the characters' chemistry in the excerpt, as they haven't met yet. Also, it feels a bit odd to be reading about a native Hawaiian woman when neither author was born nor raised in HI.

Gigi, Listening by Chantel Guertin
I'm already intrigued about this book because Gigi is a bookstore owner and audiobook aficionado – a kindred spirit! I’m excited to hear the lessons that Gigi learns about embracing the unexpected, which can be so difficult! I think many readers will relate to this theme. Her online dating struggles are also very relatable! There are some great little nods to recent romance novels and the references feel very current. Gigi feels like a real person and I want to be her friend in real life. I had already heard buzz about this book before reading this excerpt & I think it'll be very popular next spring!

Drink on Love by Jasmine Guillory
Luke and Margot have instant chemistry and I'm so curious to see where this leads! I'm hoping he's the new hire at the winery - maybe Luke is his middle name? This excerpt is very intriguing, even though I don't know a lot about wine, and I'm excited to get this book when it comes out!

A Witch's Guide to Fake-Dating by Sarah Hawley
Muriel's character is sweet and relatable, and there's sure to be some passion that ignites between her and Ozroth. I hope he can help her become more confident in her power in a way her family doesn't. I'm not much for witch/warlock-themed novels, but I think this would really appeal to fans of that genre!

Just my Type by Abby Jimenez
I LOVED Part of Your World and it was one of my first 5 star reads that I reviewed on my Bookstagram. I have been waiting impatiently for Bri's story and can't wait for this to come out! Bri describes herself as faster to anger than Alexis and Jacob has some struggles with anxiety, so there are sure to be fireworks here. I can't wait for April!

Something Wild & Wonderful by Anita Kelly
This book sounds adorable! It seems like an adventure romance like "Something Wilder" by Christina Lauren, but also obviously similar to "Wild" and "A Walk in the Woods." Alexei and Ben have serious chemistry and I'm curious about how their relationship plays out. Additionally, Alexei seems like he might have social anxiety or autism, and I love the neurodivergent representation. It will be interesting to see how he does on the trail and if his goals or outlook change at all.

Zora Dizon Books her Happy Ending by Taj McCoy
This is a new-to-me author and I can't wait to read more! Zora and Emma are friends, co-workers, and housemates and I love hearing about their strong bond, as well as Zora's family relationships (especially with Granny Marion!). While we don't know much about the love triangle yet, I do like Taj's writing style - she is very descriptive and it's easy to picture her characters, settings, and food! I think readers will really connect with a main character who owns a bookstore and is an aspiring writer. I'm looking forward to reading this, and will read some of her previous books while I wait!

Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan
I've had my eye on the book for a month or two now and can't wait to read the whole thing. I find it very refreshing to hear about a couple who is navigating the "middle years" of a marriage, when so many romances focus on dating and not the actual difficulties of the staying married phase. I expect a nuanced storyline from this book as Yasmen and Josiah battle the complexities of falling in and out (maybe back in?) love. The Wades clearly have a long, complex history which we'll get to see play out from both of their perspectives. This is already buzzy online and I’m looking forward to reading the full novel!

The Many Dates of Indigo by Amber D. Samuel
I haven't heard of this author but am very intrigued! Indigo has really been put through the wringer by dating and is torn between wanting to settle down but wanting to keep her sense of self and her independence. I already love the banter between her and her siblings and am looking forward to seeing how meddlesome they will or won’t be with her love interests!

End of Story by Kylie Scott
I can't wait to read this one! I definitely get "Fix Her Up" vibes, as well as "99% Mine" by Sally Thorne. I'm intrigued by the fact that Susie and Lars are clearly able to be blunt with each other and have acknowledged that there's some sexual tension, but I wonder how long it will take for them to act on it. The mystery of the divorce certificate is novel and adds a fun, potentially supernatural spin!

The Boxing Baroness by Minerva Spencer
This book sounds great for anyone who enjoys Julia Quinn or other Regency era books, but is tired of the aristocratic point of view. Marianne knows what it takes to be a lady but has been raised without privilege and her reputation is currently in ruins. She straddles both parts of society and I'm curious to know where she ends up. Does she help the Duke, and how does her ex-fiancé get pulled into the situation?

Queen of Myth and Monsters by Scarlett St. Clair
Dark fantasy isn't my favorite genre, but I can see how fans of Sarah J. Maas and Danielle L. Jensen would be big fans of this book. It sounds like there will be great world-building and drama here, as well as lots of spice and complex military/political alliances and rivalries.

The Falling by Anna Todd
I love the premise of the book and I think Kael is realistically portrayed as someone who is struggling with the trauma of an overseas, active-duty deployment. He and Karina have obvious chemistry, but books like these often end with a "love heals all" adage and I'm not sure how realistic I find that, for a man she just met with so many of his own personal struggles.

The Rewind by Allison Winn Scotch
This novel has a cute premise about re-doing a relationship with "the one who got away." It has How I Met Your Mother vibes, given the nostalgia factor and lots of history from their past. I really liked the 90s/00s references and think this will hit well with 30-somethings looking for a fun, light romance.

I will admit that I mainly downloaded this to read the excerpt of Jasmine Guillory's "Drunk on Love," but it was fun to get caught up on the other titles -- Kylie Scott's "End of Story" was especially intriguing! Such a fascinating and unique concept; I can't wait to find out what's going on there...

I was looking forward to two specific authors in this preview, but honestly, I found myself enjoying all the stories. I look forward to reading all of them in the future.

I picked this up to get a preview of loads of new releases coming up. It’s a great book that combines multiple authors works together to provide a snippet of their future works. I really recommend it for a taster of books you may be interested in especially as it has works from Scarlett St. Clair and other various authors.

I'll be honest with you - I only downloaded this book to preview Abby Jimenez's new book BUT I ended up getting distracted for hours last sunday just reading through the whole thing. A class authors all compiled into one book? Yes please!
