I tend to be more tactical when I hunt down excerpts to feature. First stop is usually the retailer sample buttons — Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo all let you snag three or so chapters without buying, which is perfect for embedding a short taste on a post. If I want something a bit deeper, I check publisher pages (Harlequin, Avon, Sourcebooks, etc.) because their press sections sometimes have PDFs or HTML excerpts that are meant for reviewers.

For community-driven or early-reader copies, NetGalley and Edelweiss are invaluable: you request, you get approved (sometimes), and you can quote or excerpt under their review guidelines. For indie and self-pub romance, authors often give away the first book in a series via BookFunnel or their newsletter — those are safe, legal, and blogger-friendly. Don’t forget libraries: Libby/OverDrive provides previews and sometimes allows temporary loans of eARCs. One last thing — be mindful of copyright; short excerpts with a link to buy are usually fine, but large chunks require permission. I always note the source, include a link to purchase, and if I plan to run bigger samples I just email the publicist or author — I’ve had them happily send press-ready excerpts before.

When I want quick, free excerpts I bounce between a few favorite spots: Kindle samples, Google Books previews, and authors' newsletters (they love giving away the first chapters). Wattpad and Radish are full of serialized romance you can read for free and often share short bits from, while BookBub and BookFunnel promos sometimes include sample chapters or lead you to a free download. For deeper dives, NetGalley and Edelweiss let reviewers request ARCs and often contain preview text you can quote under their terms. I also use library apps like Libby to borrow books and check samples that way.

A small practice I follow: always credit the author/publisher, link to where readers can buy or borrow the book, and keep excerpts to a sensible length unless I have explicit permission. That way my readers get hooked, authors get exposure, and I avoid copyright headaches — plus, it feels great to send someone straight to a new favorite like 'Red, White & Royal Blue' or a cute indie romance I found through a newsletter.

Whenever I'm on the prowl for romance novels and want to give readers a little taste, I have a few reliable places I check first. Big retailers are obvious — Amazon's 'Look Inside' and the Kindle 'Send a free sample' button are gold for grabbing the first chapter or two, and Google Books often has sizable previews you can link to. Publisher websites and imprints frequently post excerpt PDFs or embed readers for new releases, and many authors put sample chapters on their personal sites or in their newsletters as a reader magnet.

For more industry-level access, I use NetGalley and Edelweiss — they’re where bloggers and reviewers request ARCs and often include long excerpts in the book metadata. If I'm scouting indie titles, BookFunnel reader magnets and author promos on sites like BookSirens or BookFunnel will give you the opening chapters for free. Wattpad and Radish are great for serialized romance or rising authors who want exposure, and Project Gutenberg/Smashwords/Kobo have free samples or public-domain romance classics.

A few practical tips from my own blog experience: always credit the source, link back to the book purchase/author page, and keep excerpts short unless you get explicit permission — publishers can send press kits with longer chunks. Use embed widgets when available (Google Books, Amazon) to avoid formatting headaches, and sign up for author newsletters and publisher review lists — those newsletters often drop exclusive excerpts or early chapters that your readers will love.

I was the biological daughter of the Stone Family. With my gossip-tracking system, I played the part of a meek, obedient girl on the surface, but underneath, I would strike hard when it counted. What I didn't realize was that someone could hear my every thought. "Even if you're our biological sister, Alicia is the only one we truly acknowledge. You need to understand your place," said my brothers. 'I must've broken a deal with the devil in a past life to end up in the Stone Family this time,' I figured. My brothers stopped dead in their tracks. "Alice is obedient, sensible, and loves everyone in this family. Don't stir up drama by trying to compete for attention." I couldn't help but think, 'Well, she's sensible enough to ruin everyone's lives and loves you all to the point of making me nauseous.' The brothers looked dumbfounded.

Find Him “Somebody has taken Eli.” … Olivia’s knees buckled. If not for Dean catching her, she would have hit the floor. Nothing was more torturous than the silence left behind by a missing child. Then the phone rang. Two weeks earlier… “Who is your mom?” Dean asked, wondering if he knew the woman. “Her name is Olivia Reed,” replied Eli. Dynamite just exploded in Dean’s head. The woman he once trusted, the woman who betrayed him, the woman he loved and the one he’d never been able to forget.  … Her betrayal had utterly broken him. *** Olivia - POV  She’d never believed until this moment that she could shoot and kill somebody, but she would have no hesitation if it meant saving her son’s life.  *** … he stood in her doorway, shafts of moonlight filling the room. His gaze found her sitting up in bed. “Olivia, what do you need?” he said softly. “Make love to me, just like you used to.” He’d been her only lover. She wanted to completely surrender to him and alleviate the pain and emptiness that threatened to drag her under. She needed… She wanted… Dean. She pulled her nightie over her head and tossed it across the room. In three long strides, he was next to her bed. Slipping between the sheets, leaving his boxers behind, he immediately drew her into his arms. She gasped at the fiery heat and exquisite joy of her naked skin against his. She nipped at his lips with her teeth. He groaned. Her hands explored and caressed the familiar contours of his muscled back. His sweet kisses kept coming. She murmured a low sound filled with desire, and he deepened the kiss, tasting her sweetness and passion as his tongue explored her mouth… ***

Get off me!!” I scream clawing on the wooden floor trying to get away from him.He sinks his teeth in me deeper and presses me down on the floor with all his body weight. Tears stream down my face while I groan in the excruciating pain that he is giving me. “Please I beg you, please stop.” I whisper closing my eyes slowly, stopping my struggle against him.He slowly lets me go and gets off me and sits in front of me. I close my eyes and feel his fingers dancing on my spine; he keeps running them back and forth humming a soft tune with his mouth. “What is your name pretty girl?” He slowly bounces his fingers on the soft skin of my thigh. “Isabelle.” I whisper softly.“I’m Daniel; I just wanted to play with you. Why would you hurt me, Isabelle?” He whispers my name coming closer to my ear.I could feel his hot breathe against my neck.

Goodreads is a fantastic platform for discovering romance novels, and there are plenty of ways to read them for free without breaking any rules. The best place to start is the 'Read Free' section under the 'Browse' tab. Here, you'll find a mix of public domain classics and indie authors offering free promotions. I always check out the 'Monthly Deals' too—romance titles often pop up there. Another goldmine is the Goodreads Giveaways program.

Pro tip: follow indie romance authors you like—they often announce freebies on their Goodreads blogs or profiles.
