The Latest Buzz Books 2017: Romance

July 12, 2017
By Erin Somers

Following the successful launch of our Buzz Books 2017: Fall/Winter sampler and our dedicated Buzz Books 2017 Young Adult, our Buzz Books 2017: Romance collection returns for a second year. The sampler launches just in time for the Romance Writers of America annual conference (starting July 26 in Orlando). Eight of our featured authors will be attending RWA, where the organizers are joining us in promoting the free downloads.

From power players such as Tessa Dare, Eloisa James, and Meredith Wild to fan favorites like Betina Krahn, Shelly Laurenston, and Roni Lauren, these authors represent the best of romance. The titles on offer feature a wide sampling of genres, including romantic suspense—contemporary, Western and inspirational, plus some new directions from beloved authors. Bobbi Dumas provides the intro, an essential roundup of additional, noteworthy forthcoming romance books to have on your radar.

Buzz Books 2017: Romance is available today, with 18 exclusive pre-publication excerpts. The collection is already receiving an enthusiastic reception, including coverage from the AP, and it’s being featured prominently at the iBooks store. As usual, the “trade edition” is available from Netgalley, with additional publicity and marketing info along with click-throughs to request full individual galleys (or get an EPUB directly from us at PM or on Edelweiss). The consumer edition is also ready for download at your ebookstore of choice (Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, Google Play Books, and Kobo).
