I have been getting really into romance lately, and samplers like this really help weed out what you want to read. These are definitely helpful.

Always nice to see a bit of a preview of what's to come to whet the appetite. Especially interested as this did contain a couple of authors I regularly read so always excited to see new stuff from them.

Another year, another Buzz Books. I enjoy getting to find out what’s coming next! There’s not a lot to say in terms of a review. It’s a cool snippet of what’s to expect this year.

Buzz Books 2023: Romance is an absolute gem for romance readers! This collection of excerpts from upcoming romance novels is a fantastic way to get a sneak peek at what’s to come in 2023. I already had a few of these titles on my radar, but this sampler made me even more excited for the full releases. It even inspired me to revisit My Roommate Is a Vampire by Jenna Levine, reminding me just how much I loved it the first time around.

These compilations are such a valuable resource for discovering new reads and keeping track of what's coming out next. Even though I read this in 2024, it still helped me find some great titles to add to my ever-growing TBR list. I can't wait for the next edition!

This is a collection of excerpts of 14 upcoming romance novels for the year of 2023. I have already a few of the books that had their excepts in it, but it did made me go and reread My Roommate Is a Vampire by Jenna Levine because I forgot how much I had loved it.
These kinds of books make it easier to find new titles for you to read. A good source of knowing about upcoming novels. Except that I read it in 2024 lol, but it still helped me find a few good ones.

I loved everything about this and cannot wait for all of the books included to be published! A sneak peek is nice but I am ready for the full length books. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to be an early reader. All thoughts are my own.

Interesting and diverse selection. I’m surprised that there are sometimes no covers shown? Also, one book isn’t published in my area so I couldn’t find it to buy. Not sure why that happens.

Great preview of new releases in the romance genre. Would've liked to see a greater range of romance stories, including fantasy, historical and sci-fi romance.

Very interesting, these short stories.They all talked about people different relationships. The books would be awesome too because you get the synopsis of it and you get to Tell me what the books would be like. They all talk about issues being displaced and different times in different theories. What a bunch of amazing young riders coming out of this asian countries and middle east countries. I think it brings a perspective of different types of writing than say an english person writing it.

I found Buzz Books 2023: Romance to be an extremely helpful resource. It includes previews of fourteen highly anticipated 2023 romance releases with sub-genres ranging from contemporary to fantasy to historical. Each preview is long enough to give you a good sense of what to expect from the full-length novel.

This sampler assured that I will definitely be prioritizing some books that were on my radar, such as Stars in Your Eyes by Kacen Callender, Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan, and My Roommate Is A Vampire by Jenna Levine. It also brought to my attention some intriguing reads that I hadn't heard of yet, including The Kiss Countdown by Etta Easton, The Emperor and the Endless Palace by Justinian Huang, and The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck by Kylie Scott.

If you are interested in previewing upcoming releases and perhaps even discovering novels you haven't heard of yet, I would highly recommend checking out a Buzz Books sampler.

Buzz Romance is an awesome way to explore new releases in the Romance genre and experience authors that I might not have picked up otherwise. This compilation included excerpts from some of my favorite authors for books I have been impatiently waiting to get my hands on, as well as excerpts from books I have been wanting to try but was unsure about. This is such a fun way to try out and get a taste of some of the newest and most popular voices in Romance.

These buzz books may be one of my favorite finds ever. The ability to sample in one clean neat place without clogging up my kindle shelf is a game changer. The selections are varied and I found many books that need to be added to the never ending TBR and even some that need a spot on my bookshelf.

Buzz Books 2023: Romance is an extremely helpful resource for a romance reader who wants to get a sampling of the hotly anticipated romance books releasing in 2023. It turns out to also be a dangerous resource for those of us who already have a TBR list a mile long, because every book in this sampler intrigued me in one way or another. The samples provided are long enough to give you a feel for the tone and writing style of each book and to introduce you to the main characters.

The books that stood out the most to me are Stars in your Eyes by Kacen Callender, The Kiss Countdown by Etta Easton, and Earls Trip by Jenny Holiday. I've read Kacen's work previously and enjoyed it, so that was not a surprise, but this is the first time I've read anything by Etta or Jenny and I really enjoyed the samples.

I highly recommend downloading this sampler if you are a romance reader looking for a preview of a diverse range of romance books.
