This is a great resource! I have been reading more romance lately so I am excited by the opportunity to sample these upcoming books. I plan to feature quite a few of these books on my blog during the upcoming months.

I always love when these Buzz Books come available. It's an awesome way to be exposed to books you normally wouldn't reach for. It takes you out of your comfort zone. You get to read a few chapters of a book to see if you are going to like it or not. The best part is there is usually a link at the end of each one to click on to request! Brilliant!!

I always look forward to Buzz Books, it's such a great way to sift through all the selections that NetGalley offers. It's also fantastic for discovering new authors. Immediately, two books caught my attention: "Time Bridge: Cassie", by Annie Becker, has an interesting time-travel premise and seems like a fast paced, fun book to read; also, the excerpt for "Their Perfect Melody" by Priscilla Oliveras gets major points in my book for including well-written Spanish (they had me at "María" with an accent on the "i"!).

Another great edition of Buzz Books. Some Romance novels from this edition that I'm most excited to read include:

Tempt Me With Diamonds by Jane Feather

The Memory House by Rachel Hauck

The Sweetest Thing by Judith McNaught

On Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter

As I am such a fan of these Buzz Books reads I decided to check this out for a friend who reads a lot of Romance. As always, it's a fantastic resource that should not be missed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I ❤️ the Buzz Books 2018: Romance edition, with excerpts from authors I might not otherwise have read. 5/5

Thanks to Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS and NetGalley for this fun read. Opinions are mine.

Thank you for another great sampler. Looking forward to reading three or four of the books previewed.

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

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!

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.

Really love these editions. They introduce you to so many interesting novels to add to your TBR reads. Looking forward to reading the books!

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.

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.

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.

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

Always great to know what is coming out in the second half of the year....some hidden books that i cant wait to track down !

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.

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.

This is a great sampler for upcoming romance releases! Always look forward to Buzz Books, they never disappoint.

Great way to try out some different authors before you buy. Really liked all the stories and will be looking for them.

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.

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.

As always, amazing collection from Publishers Lunch. I am very excited to read some of these books. Cannot wait for the next one.

Great collection of teasers for upcoming romance titles. Loved the notes about each author. Added a few titles to my TBR list, so many books so little time...

This continues to be a great tool for selecting new books. Three titles have been ordered for our library.

Cute idea.. My favorite was the chapter or snippets of Intercepted b Alexa Martin. Definitely smart for readers who want a little more on upcoming books.

Wonderful! This was so helpful. I look forward to reading several of these titles, including Tempt Me With Diamonds.

no comments on any of the specific picks proposed in this collection. It is a good idea to provide this compilation so keep doing it.

A great chance to read excerpts of upcoming books. There’s something for everyone in the group! I found some new authors and reconnected with a few old ones.

I loved the chance to read these books. I have to say I mainly wanted Shelly Laurenston’s book but a few others peaked my interest. I loved Laurenston’s so much I hoped I got picked to read it early and thank goodness I got picked, I enjoyed Jane Feather’s book too. It’s been a while since I’ve read her but she’s a master of historical romance. I liked Say your sorry too. Very suspenseful and a page turner of epic proportions! The rest I couldn’t quite finish though. .

I love these buzz books and the way they give you little teasers of great books. The links at the end to request for the books is super convenient as well. I'm especially excited for this one because judithmcnaughtisbaaaaaacccckkk!

Great way to see what's on the romance horizon! Thanks to Publishers Lunch for a super resource.

A NetGalley ARC

I love the Buzz Books that Publishers Lunch releases every season. I always discover great titles that I have either heard of or am just discovering for the first time. It's a great resource to use.

Thank you Net Galley for this excerpts of different Romance novels coming out in 2018. I really enjoyed reading the first of many books. This helps me decide what to read next. I am excitedly waiting for several books to be release.

I love these sneak peek looks at books and teasers for what is to come. I am so stoked to see Judith McNaught is releasing a new book! I can only hope it is put up on NetGalley and when I request it I am honored with an approval. There are more treats in this compilation of teasers I never would have looked at twice but now am intrigued enough to give a second look at.

I love all the excerpts and I'm counting the days to read all of them!What a great and refreshing reads!

Loved the excerpts and what is coming next. There are so many new ones and one from my favorite author didn't know will be releasing.

I adored that I could visit and view books coming out - even by authors that I haven't yet read. This was highly informative and I appreciate the opportunity afforded to me to read this. I think everyone should check this out if they can.

I have never read a Buzz Books before and appreciated this. It gives you a snippet of multiple stories and introduces you to authors that you might never have heard of, just enough to get you interested. There were definitely a few new authors here that captured my attention. Thank you, NetGalley.

This is a great resource! I love reading more romance and am excited by the opportunity to sample upcoming books. I plan to feature quite a few of these books on my blog.

This was the first one of these that I have received, and I really loved how all of the upcoming books were listed, first by synopsis, and then some excerpts. I appreciated how they were divided into type (ie Contemporary Romance, Paranormal, etc.). It made it easier to skip the sections I knew I wouldn’t be interested in. I also liked that at the end of some excerpts I was able to “Read Now” or Request a few of the suggested titles. I was excited to get “Read Now” for “As Good As the First Time” by K.M. Jackson, and “Unchained” by Helen Hardt. I will be looking forward to “Couldn’t Ask for More” by Kianna Alexander and “Stripped” by Zoey Castille. In addition, I found a new series that I want to try, The Blue Ridge Series by Denise Hunter. I live near the Blue Ridge Mountains, so that’s a plus, not to mention that the book on this list is the last one and had a reference to You’ve Got Mail (one of my favorite movies). I don’t want to start a series with the last book, so I look forward to getting into this one from the beginning. All in all, this was very helpful, and I will definitely be looking at more of these compilations in the future! Thank you to Netgalley for a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is an excellent resource for upcoming books. I am able to preview many titles as well as request to read samples or request a Net Galley copy of the book to read and review. Thank you Net Galley for this publication.

These samplers are great for learning a little about a lot of different titles to make a variety of recommendations to patrons at my library. I love these samplers and I’m always looking for the next one to see what’s coming up.

I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

These are the samples that are included in the BuzzBooks Romance collection – each excerpt I’ve scored on a scale of 1-5 on my interest in reading the whole book:

Time Bridge: Cassie by Annie Becker (Oct 16, 2018) – The book summary sounded a little dark, but the time travel aspect was interesting. The book reminded me a lot of books I’ve read in the past by John A. Heldt. Score: 3.5
Tempt Me with Diamonds by Jane Feather (Jan 29, 2019) – I don’t particularly like the race horse aspect that seemed to be a part of the book’s plot. Also the heroine sounds kind of drama-loving, it didn’t sound like it was for me but who knows based off of two chapters. Score: 1.75
Unchained by Helen Hardt (Blood Bond Saga Book 1) (Oct 2, 2018) – Sounded pretty interesting, maybe a little cliched (vamp falls in love with a human) but the characters sounded good. Score: 3.75
The Memory House by Rachel Hauck (April 2, 2019) – I liked the puppy and the mystery baby, story peaked my interest a good amount. Score: 4.25
On Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter (Last book in the Blue Ridge Romance series) (Nov 6, 2018) – I didn’t find anything in the excerpt overly intriguing, it was ok but didn’t seem exciting. Score: 2.5
As Good as the First Time by K.M. Jackson (Sugar Lake novel) (Oct 30, 2018) – This one sounded interesting, I was eager to learn about what had happened to Clayton and his previous relationship. Score: 4.0
In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston (March 26, 2019) – I’ve never been a huge fan of the whole shifter thing. Also there were just so many characters within th efirst two chapters I couldn’t keep everything straight. Score: 1.0
Intercepted by Alexa Martin (Sept 11, 2018) – I got pretty hooked in the story, I’m interested to see what happens with Marlee (even though see was acting a little like a doormat). Score: 4.25
The Sweetest Thing by Judith McNaught (Oct 23, 2018) – First couple chapters seemed pretty cheesy but I’d be interested to hear more about what the TV show was about. Score: 2.75
Their Perfect Melody (Matched to Perfection) by Priscilla Oliveras (Nov 27, 2018) – Seemed ok. Nothing overly thrilling in the first couple chapters. Score: 2.5
Ignite by Angel Payne (Volume 2 – Parts 4-6) (July 31, 2018) – This seemed super interesting, I’ve never read a romance novel with a super hero before. The first couple chapters of this were interesting and steamy. Score: 4.0
The Rancher by Kate Pearce (Nov 27, 2018) – It sounded ok but there were a LOT of characters introduced in the first couple chapters, I could barely keep it straight. It probably would’ve been easier if I had read the previous books. THe characters sounded interesting though. Score: 3.0
Say You’re Sorry by Karen Rose (Feb 12, 2019) – LOVE the involvement of the cult aspect, that always gets me interested. This one sounded like it would be really interesting! Score: 4.5
Solace Island Island by Meg Tilly (Nov 6, 2018) – I loved how fierce the main character was, she had so much spark! And I loved that she gave her ex what he had coming to him, the first couple chapters really had me hooked. Score: 4.25

5 Stars for Buzz Books Romance for Fall 2018

ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an hones review !! I need to make sure I do not miss these Buzz Book reviews. . I’ve made a list of several books to add to my TBR authors/ new books !!!

Judith McNaught- The Sweetest Thing
I have always loved this authors work - so 😄 to see this new book after 10 yrs

Intercepted - Alexa Martin

Karen Rose - Say Your Sorry

Angel Payne - Ignite ( yay downloaded from Netgalley )

These were just a few of the great finds I made note of ..,

Excellent summary with Chapter excepts - can’t wait for these reviews as they are extremely helpful & jam packed with great Info on upcoming releases !!

Love getting these introductory books with excerpts from many titles so that I can talk more knowledgeably with my library patrons. I'm a romance newbie so this is definitely also helping me find authors I like!

This is a great preview of upcoming Romances. It's nice to see all the variety to be able to pick and choose. I'm mostly interested in historical Romance, but some of the others are tempting as well!

Great way to decide do you or don't you want to read. Also a good way to see if you like how a author plots and presents a book. This comes out every year so watch and pick up as it is available.
