Very nice diverse selection of romance reads, as per usual from Publishers Lunch. I usually find something that intrigues me whenever Buzz Books comes out with new releases to watch, and I found at least five authors in this selection that I plan on reading the full galley for. Jane Feather's "Tempt Me With Diamonds" will be my first read from the author, but it interested me given the circumstances of the heroine in the first few chapter encountering someone she didn't expect living in her brother's house - her old flame. Priscilla Oliveras had my attention with "Their Perfect Melody" because I liked Diego and Lili's personalities to start. I have never read a full book by Helen Hardt, so I'm giving "Unchained" a try from this collection - in sum a vampire on the run from his captive master meeting an ER nurse.. The premise and the excerpt intrigued me enough to give it a try. A few others I requested as galleys include Judith McNaught and Meg Tilly. In the end, I'm glad that I had the chance to peruse this collection and am looking forward to reading more from the authors here, as well as future Publisher's Lunch compilations.

If you are interested in knowing what constitutes the romance genre and what books are forthcoming, this is an excellent resource. In addition to an introduction, there are lists of books by subcategory, for example, paranormal romance, so you can easily find your interest. There are also a number of summaries and excerpts to read. Romance readers should enjoy this publication.

I loved this collection of book excerpts and reviews for up and coming books. I loved the previous Buzz Books collections, and once again this one had me scoping out a bunch of new books, and adding them all to my TBR. I am most excited for Magnolia Lane, and Intercepted.

A huge thank you to NetGalley for sending me a digital copy of these book previews in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

Such a great premise, where you can hear about different books and authors, maybe new to you. Read snippets of some of these. It is like being able to taste something before you buy, or try on before you buy. Thank you Publishers Lunch

I love these books that give you a few chapters of a book. The format has introduced me to many new authors I had never heard of and may not have stumbled across on my own. The few chapters gives me a feel for their writing style and whether or not I will enjoy the whole book.. In some cases I may not be enamored of the writing but the storyline grabs me and I just have to buy the full version.. They also allow you to invest 10-15 minutes which might just be the amount of time you wait to get into an appointment.

From this edition I especially like The Memory House by Rachel Hauck, Judith McNaught's The Sweetest Thing, Kate Pearce's The Rancher, Say You're Sorry by Karen Rose and Solace Island by Meg Tilly.

This preview rocks. What a great idea, I love reading excerpts upcoming releases. I've discovered a couple of new writers and that's always nice. I've requested 4 of the books to read and review, one was approved just today. Now that I've experienced Buzz Books I'll be on the lookout for the next edition.

I really enjoyed the compilation of books.

I often don't stray from historical romance, but it's good to be able to read a preview from other books to see if this may be something I may be interested in reading.

It was a good set of previews.

This book was good if it hit the type of books you were interested in. Definately a good reference.

I was able to go through ,is tings and read all the excerpts to be able to see which ones were worth my time reading since I'm really picky when it comes to romance. I highly recommend this book for anyone who's a sucker for romance and they can see what's exciting this year! I received this ARC from Netc Galley in exchange for an honest review .

This was a wonderful collection of excerpts from upcoming novels by some outstanding authors. I enjoyed reading some of them and am looking forward to reading the entire books soon. I was especially interested in the one by Judith McNaught, since it has been so long since her last book. Rachel Hauck's book The Memory House is intriguing, too, as is Denise Hunter's new one.

This is a great way to get previews of upcoming books to see if I think I'd enjoy them. There are several authors in this collection that I've read before and loved. I'm looking forward to their new books.

Thanks for the chance to read this!

I don't know how I didn't know about Buzz Books before now, but what a great concept - just enough to whet your appetite for some of the upcoming releases in a particular genre. I'll admit that I initially got this for the excerpt of The Sweetest Thing by Judith McNaught, but requested a few more titles to review based on what I read and/or added to my out-of-control TBR. I'll most definitely be checking more of these out in the future!

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

Another excellent preview of the upcoming hottest books in the romance genre! Definitely adding some of these featured titles on to my TBR list.

While I love the format of the Buzz Books “series” I just wasn’t interested in any of the titles mentioned. Will continue of course to download these books!

this is another great . I liked this book just as much. She has a unique clean writing style that draws you in and just won't let you put the book down. I read this one in 5 hours. Highly recommend.

Was grateful to read through this little gem. Lots of authors to discover and books added to my wish list on Amazon. Just wish I had paid better attention to prior buzz books. Really enjoyed the little snippets of books. It was just enough to whet the appetite.

Love books like that give a quick review. Really helped sort out my reading stack. It's hard when so many books are released at once. Overall views all in one place really helps similfy the process

The ladies of the Ripped Bodice are doing so much good for romance publishing and I love the list of titles they've put together for this edition of Buzz Books. I'm especially looking forward to getting my hands on Intercepted. What a great excerpt!

A good preview document. Loved the format, the choices of titles beong promoted. Diversity in genres, voices. The excerpts are substancial and helpful for my librarian self.

Lots of good nuggets in here! I love this offering from Buzz Books 2018. I was looking specifically for historical romance titles to read but discovered some others that I enjoyed.

This was a very interesting book, as it gave me the opportunity to read a few chapters of book in genres and by authors I have never read. I have definitely found some I want to pursue further. Thank you Netgalley!
