I want to read them all at some point. The introduction is amazing and I feel like I need to read them all at once

This sampler is a useful selection of excerpts from 14 Romance books due to be released this Fall and Winter, and I’m excited to have the chance to be exposed to and sample so many to help me decide which books I’d like to read in the near future. A couple of these were ones I’ve been debating requesting ARCs for and I’m thrilled to have this available to help me decide.

Thank you to the many featured authors, Publishers Lunch BUZZ BOOKS, and NetGalley for providing this ARC Sampler and directory for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.

Excited about most of these. Immediately put my requests. Thank you for a great list! My roommate vampire, the emperor and the endless palace, and the last days of lilah grey have me so excited. Can’t wait to read them all!

I’m not a huge romance reader but I’m trying to branch out into different genres this year. This preview is so perfect to give me an idea of what to look out for. I found a few that I’ve added to my list.

-Stars in Your Eyes by Karen Calendar (fake dating, Hollywood, LGBTQIA+)
-Do Your Worst by Rosie Dana (paranormal/supernatural)
-The Emperor and the Endless Palace by Justinian Huang (queer, asian reimagining. blending historical figures with Chinese folklore. Deals with themes of acceptance, belonging, and free will)
-My Roomate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine

A great sampler—the excerpts were long enough for each book to be super enticing. It introduced me to new authors and books I hadn't heard of, and heightened my excitement for the books I'm already looking forward to (in particular Rosie Danan's, Etta Easton's, and Jenna Levine's.

Thank you, NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read advanced excerpts of upcoming romance books!

Do Your Worst' seems very unique, something I've never read before!

I love 'The Kiss Countdown cover! So pretty! And it seems very cute!

As Long as You Love Me is right up my alley! I love enemies-to-lovers tropes.

And I'm definitely reading My Roommate is a Vampire! I absolutely love that cover too!!

I'm excited to have another beach read! What Happens on Vacation seems so atmospheric and fun!

So many to look forward to! I'm adding these to my Want to Read list on GoodReads. If I do not get them here, I'll pick them up on my own. I appreciate being able to see new upcoming books!

I love these buzz books. This one features the best new romances books and has a summary and a except from each book listed. I like that because I can read a little of the book before I choose which one I want to read first Thank you Buss Books for compiling the newest romance books together with the summary and except. Your books a great help. I Love them.

Love these Buzz Books for their quick synopsis’s and snippets from each book. I feel like I can find new authors and also see if a book I’m hearing about is truly for me. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing these.

This was a very fun and helpful guide for upcoming releases! I loved seeing inside on several titles I already knew about and reading previews of many others. Lots to add to my TBR from here!

A really great feature! I am excited for several of the titles. I appreciate the covers, descriptions and the excerpts. Not everything is on my TBR but this is a great way to get some ideas!

I've really been into romance books over the last year and I love these samplers because it introduces me to new authors in this genre. This particular guide highlights 14 upcoming books. The excerpts are long enough to give the reader enough to know if this is going to be the book for them. I found a few that automatically went onto my tbr list.

This was a fabulous idea for previews as opposed to the usual catalog or singular excerpts — there’s some brilliant titles in this collection, some of which I’ve now requested. The excerpts are well picked, and I’m loving the range of different styles and sub genres in this. Definitely recommend any romance reviews to give this a read to add some titles to their reading list.

I always love these preview books; it gets me excited for the new books publishing. This one has a ton of new to me authors and I was excited to see some of my favorites, like Jenny Holiday. It's also nice that they include links to the digital ARC.

I didn’t really find any books in here that I was interested in that I didn’t already know about. The one I did, wasn’t actually available for request. So it all felt a bit pointless really.
