Nice little peek into upcoming books, but not every link works to request the titles. Maybe those titles will show up on Net galley at a later date.

I requested this because of the Shelly Laurenston excerpt, and now I’m banging my head against the table with frustration.

I don’t know why I would do something as stupid as reading an excerpt, when the release date is more than 7 months away.

Shelly Laurenston has this skill when it comes to writing funny violence with a dash of sarcasm. This excerpt had everything one would expect from one of her books, and I’m not afraid to admit that I sobbed a bit when the excerpt ended.

I can’t wait for Stevie’s story and March can’t come fast enough.

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

Appreciated the introduction by the authors and thoughtful collection of excerpts to review upcoming titles for fall 2018. Helpful in culling through various genres of romance books our readers may enjoy.

I liked. The way it was laid out. It was informative and easy to follow. I picked up an excerpt for Shelly Laurenston*s new book, In a Badger Way from Kensington. I absolutely love Shelly Laurenston/G. A. Aiken. I have read all of her books except one. After reading the excerpt, I decided to read and review, The Rancher by Kate Pearce from Zebra and I requested an Arc of Solace Island by Meg Tilly from Berkley. I look forward to reading and reviewing it if I am approved. Overall, Buzz Books 2018 had a wealth of information. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new book.

This is great if you love contemporaries or suspense/romance. Kind of slim-pickings for us historical romance fans, though.

Awesome resource. I primarily read romance and this is a good way to get a feel for a new to me author's writing style and if the story is going to call to me. Love these Buzz Books.

This is an excellent idea. Trailers for more that one author’s newest releases! Gives you an idea regarding each new book and whether a person would enjoy reading.

My favorite was the snippet of "In a Badger Way". Stevie is one of my favorite book characters and When is so cute. I am really looking forward yo the full book.

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.

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

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...

Not what I thought it was. I read only Historical Romance. and this was previews of other forms of Romance.

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.

This is such a fabulous sampling of relevant, multi-sub-genre Romance titles! Collection Development Specialists will be assured that these selections are vetted and relevant to any and every library collection. Well done, Publishers Lunch. You always brings us the best!

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.
