Buzz Books Romance! Yes please....
I love, love, love romance and I was excited to get this so I can see what’s next on my lists! 😊

The ones that caught my eye:
• “Not the Girl You Marty“, by Andre J. Christopher sounds really fun so I’m going to have to read this one.
• “Love Lettering”, by Kate Clayborn is a must read and I’m actually reading this next on my TBR list.
• “Bringing Down the Duke”, by Evie Dunmore is another I can’t wait to read.
• “A Royal Christmas Wish”, by Lizzie Shane is a must read and I have to finish this for Christmas!

This was a NETGALLEY gift and all opinions are my own! Happy Reading!

I found it to be very helpful. I knew about some books listed. I requested a couple of the books. That's it.

A peek of upcoming titles. One book I am in the process of reading was one of the highlights. I have seen two additional titles that I might give a try.

This was really helpful to get a taste of lots of titles coming out in 2019, very much appreciated! Kudos on making sure there was content that represented people of color and not just white readers.

This is my first time checking out the Buzz Books Catalogue of upcoming Romance Reads and now I'm hooked! I don't know why I haven't checked these out before. It's a great way to learn about upcoming reads while getting a chance to read a couple of chapters of each one. It may not be healthy for my TBR but it's great for this book nerd.

Off to request a few new books!

Excellent idea to give a “taste” of new books. Many of these are new to me authors. Several of these are now on my TBR list.

Buzz Books 2019: Romance is a great preview of upcoming novels for the next 6 months. I really appreciate the opportunity to see new and exciting romance novels that are upcoming. It's a great way to explore new authors and make purchasing decisions for my collection.

I am always glad to get a copy of the Buzz Books so that I can get a little peak at the books that will be coming out soon. This book did not disappoint! Getting a preview of upcoming romance books was a treat! I already have several marked as TBR and look forward to them! The books in this edition are by authors that are familiar names in the romance genre! I received a digital ARC of this book in return for an honest review, which this has been. #NetGalley

I love Buzz Books! I especially appreciated this one as I recently became a fan of the romance genre. I love being able to sample the selection and then to make choices about which I will request.

I always love these sneak peeks at upcoming books—they definitely help me discover new to me authors and get me excited for what I'll be reading soon!! Thank you!!

Interesting excerpts from a variety of authors. All romance of course, some a little racier than others,some contemporary with others being period reads. Some reviews have sectioned each excerpt and reviewed. The blurb on each book or their individual reviews are sufficient information to decide if you want to read any of the books. Many were quite good and will make interesting fun reads!
Thanks for the ARC.

A great compilation of books from which you will find several to read. From some of my favorite romance authors. Stretching from historical to sweet. You will find something that satisfies.

This preview was stellar. There are some amazing looking books in here. I can't wait to read them. I will be blowing out my book budget this fall!

What a great way to get a snippet of hot new books! I don't typically read in all the romance sub-genres, but it opened my mind to a few.

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 2019 Romance collection – each excerpt I’ve included a brief summary of my thoughts (based solely on the excerpts provided) and my interest in reading the whole book:

Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams (November 5, 2019) - This was a really engaging first few chapters but I don't think it is for me. It made me so sad to think about those little girls and what they're dealing with. I know it's really popular and I'm sure I would like it but I'm just not interested in reading it right now. 
The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken (August 27, 2019) - There was a lot going on in this book even just in the first couple chapters. There was a lot of dark, murderous stuff in the excerpt too and I didn't quite grasp what was going on with just the first couple chapters.
Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J Christopher (November 12, 2019) - This one seemed super good! I really liked the first couple chapters of this one, it was engaging and really grabs the reader into the story. I'm planning to request this one and hopefully read the full e-galley!
Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn (December 31, 2019) - I loved the start of this one. The excerpt really leaves you hanging on the edge of a cliff and I can't wait to find out what happens. I loved the lyricism of the author's writing and how well developed I felt like the main character was even just within the first couple chapters. Definitely requesting this one so I can hopefully read the full e-galley! 
Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore (September 3, 2019) - Seemed like a solid historical romance, nothing really grabbed out in the first couple chapters to grab me though. I think I'd enjoy reading it but I'm trying to limit my NetGalley requests. 
The Dating Charade by Melissa Ferguson (December 3, 2019) - This excerpt was tough, it didn't really get far enough in to give you a feel of what the story would be. It seemed ok but didn't grab me. 
The Bachelor by Sabrina Jeffries (February 25, 2020) - I liked this one, it sounded pretty good actually. I think I'd enjoy reading it but I'm trying to limit my NetGalley requests so I will have to pass on this one. 
The Princess Plan by Julia London (November 19, 2019) - I've already signed up to review this one so I was interested to read the first couple chapters. It sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to reading it. 
The Little Bookshop on the Siene by Rebecca Raisin (January 7, 2020) - This sounded like it would be sweet and most likely interesting to a book reader like me but the heroine sounded a little too naive for me based on the first couple chapters. I'm kind of interested in the book but am trying to limit my NetGalley requests so I think I'll pass on this one. 
Unspoken by Kelly Rimmer (November 26, 2019) - I was actually kind of interested in this one but I can not get on board with these two people getting back together. Overall the second chance romance is not an enjoyable trope for me but especially with how much hatred there was between these two at the start of the book I just can't see how they'll end up reconciling. 
A Royal Christmas Wish by Lizzie Shane (September 10, 2019) - This one didn't quite catch my interest, the heroine seemed like she was somewhat overly complaintive which doesn't appeal to me. And overall the plot doesn't sound like it would be something I'd love.
The Sunday Potluck Club by Melissa Storm (March 31, 2020) - Lot of potential here! Just the first couple chapters had me feeling so many things. I'm definitely going to be requesting this one and hopefully will get to read the full e-galley!
A Cowboy to Remember by Rebekah Weatherspoon (February 25, 2020) - This one wasn't for me (I don't love cowboy romances anymore) but definitely seems like something others would enjoy!

I was so excited that the publisher granted my wish for the annual installment of the romance buzz books. I’m fairly new to reading romance and thought this might be a great way to explore the latest and greatest in the genre. I loved how the experts spanned a wide variety of types of new releases - from rom-com to fantasy - and that the experts were substantial enough to provide a real feel for the actual full-length novel. What I was disappointed in was how “mainstream” all the selections were. The majority of the novels seemed to be set in England or New York City. All featured heterosexual characters with already determined sexual identities; there seemed to be very few with non-white heroines. None of those characteristics represents the world we live in: at least half the United States population is non-white and exploration of sexual preferences and identities is at an all time high. All said and done, I was hard pressed to find something in this collection that interested me enough to request the full book. Maybe Unspoken because the emotionally apathetic male coder character reminded me of someone I know. Maybe The Little Paris Bookstore because I’m curious to see how the author draws a Parisian in Ashford, CT, which is a small town that I am quite familiar with. But sometimes it’s good to have a heads up on books that I won’t enjoy as much as those that I would.

Some great titles in here, can’t wait for all the new books that are coming!! The excerpts are intriguing and really make me excited for the full length books.
