Our Latest Buzz Books Sampler: Romance

July 12, 2019By Erin Somers

Following the successful launch of Buzz Books 2019: Fall/Winter and the dedicated Buzz Books 2019 Young Adult sampler, our Buzz Books 2019: Romance collection returns for a fourth year. These previews launch just in time for the Romance Writers of America annual conference (starting July 24 in New York).

From power players such as Sabrina Jeffries and Julia London to fan favorites Lizzie Shane and Rebekah Weatherspoon, the book presents some of the best of romance. Featured titles include new installments of series, like G.A. Aiken’s (aka Shelly Laurenston) first title in her new Scarred Earth Saga series, Melissa Storm’s new Sunday Potluck series, and Kelly Rimmer’s second book in her Start Up in the City series. Standalone contemporaries by series authors are by Andie J. Christopher and Kate Clayborn. Plus, our sampler is the perfect way to discover exciting debut writers.

Buzz Books 2019: Romance is available today, with 13 exclusive pre-publication excerpts. The collection is already receiving an enthusiastic reception, 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. The consumer edition is also ready for download at your ebookstore of choice (Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Kobo).

Below is the complete list of featured authors and excerpts.

Lyssa Kay Adams, THE BROMANCE BOOK CLUB (Berkley)
