I always look forward to these! It’s just the right amount of the book to help me know if it grabs my attention or not. I’m looking forward to Passion Project by London Sperry and While We’re Young by K.L. Walther.

A lovely selection 21 excerpts of 21 upcoming romance novels. I appreciated the diverse sub-genres featured: sports, rom-com, regency, contemporary, paranormal, post apocalyptic, romantasy, and sci-fi. A great way to read what your favorite authors are publishing next and to discover new authors.

This was a good way to read a couple of different authors at once! More likely to try a few new ones now!

Another great edition of Buzz Books! I always look forward to these excerpts and this edition had so many great ones. I’m especially looking forward to First Time Caller by B.K Borison and Firebird by Juliette Cross!

Romance is my favorite genre to read, and I’m constantly on the lookout for exciting new books to dive into. A top resource that provides a preview of upcoming romances is Buzz Books 2024: Romance. Featuring 21 forthcoming romances, along with lengthy excerpts of each, it offers a wonderful glimpse of what’s to come later this year and in 2025.

The books here are divided into main subgenres (Contemporary, Paranormal, Post Apocalyptic, Regency, Rom-Com, Romantasy, Sci-Fi, and Sports). Each book starts off with the cover art (if available) and then a brief list of categories—including additional subgenres it may fit into and whether its target audience is Adult, New Adult, or Young Adult—followed by a summary and then the longer excerpt. It ends with other pertinent information, such as the publisher and release date, plus the author’s bio.

From this collection of 21 upcoming romances, I’ve already highlighted several I want to read. There are books from popular authors like Jasmine Guillory and Mia Sheridan, as well as debut authors like Amanda M. Helander and London Sperry. One that stood out to me is a paranormal romance by Aurora Ascher titled My Funny Demon Valentine; it’s published by Kensington, and luckily for me I’m auto-approved by them, so I downloaded an ARC of it! I’m also interested in Hazardous to a Duke’s Heart by Sabrina Jeffries and Showmance by Chad Beguelin.

Buzz Books 2024: Romance is a must-have preview for anyone who reads romance. There are so many exciting books coming out later this year and next year, and I’m thrilled to get a head start on reading some of them and building out my romance TBR.

I love the concept of this! It is a great way to get an idea if I’m going to be interested in a book and also vibe with the author’s writing style if I’ve never read them before. I have definitely added sever new books to my TBR!

Terrific excerpts! Can't wait to read the full chapters. Love Jasmine Guillory of course... There are also other new authors that I was introduced to and enjoyed as well. There are also links for request for full books.

Thank you!

This is a great reader's advisory tool to help discover new up-and-coming romance books. It provided helpful insight into new titles I was considering ordering.

This catalogue contains extracts, covers and blurbs of 21 upcoming romance books. I liked that for each book we got a sample of the first chapter which was a great way to see if you like the writing style and the characters. The document had hyperlinks to each of the books and to their NetGalley pages if you wanted to request/download them which made this very easy to navigate. Of the 21 books presented, I would be interested in reading Flirting Lessons by Jasmine Guillory as it contains some of my favourite tropes and I enjoyed By the Book by the same author. I would also like to read First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison, as the premise sounds intriguing, and While We're Young by K.L. Walther as I love the cover and setting.

Overall this was a great way to discover some new romance books and authors to add to my never ending TBR pile!

This was a nice selection of upcoming romance releases, though not many piqued my interest unfortunately. Of these titles, I’m looking forward to reading First Time Caller by B.K. Borison and I’m glad to have gotten the opportunity to read a little sneak peek before its release.

Easy to navigate between books, the excerpts and chapters give you a brief but enticing view into upcoming novels. It’s just enough of a preview to spark your interest. Not only can you find new genres or authors, but also getting this preview helps prevent requesting books you won’t enjoy. Thanks for providing this!
