I can confirm that many publishers and authors offer free excerpts to hook readers. One of my favorite sources is Amazon's Kindle Store, where you can often download the first few chapters of popular books like 'The Love Hypothesis' by Ali Hazelwood or 'People We Meet on Vacation' by Emily Henry. These samples give you a taste of the writing style and chemistry between characters before committing to the full book.

Another great place to look is author websites. Many writers, especially those with upcoming releases, provide free excerpts to generate buzz. For instance, I recently found a lengthy preview of 'Beach Read' by Emily Henry on her official site. Publishers like HarperCollins and Penguin Random House also occasionally feature excerpts on their websites.

Book subscription services like Scribd and BookBub often include free samples in their newsletters. I’ve discovered gems like 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne through these promotions. Libraries are another underrated resource. Apps like Libby and OverDrive allow you to borrow e-books and audiobooks, and sometimes you can access excerpts without waiting for the full book.

If you enjoy fan translations or indie works, platforms like Wattpad and Archive of Our Own host countless romance stories, some of which are excerpts from larger works. While not always best-sellers, these platforms offer a treasure trove of free content.

Lastly, don’t overlook social media. Authors often share snippets on Instagram, Twitter, or TikTok, especially during promotional campaigns. I’ve stumbled upon captivating previews of 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston this way. Free excerpts are a fantastic way to explore new romances without spending a dime.

He starts nibbling on my chest and starts pulling off my bra away from my chest. I couldn’t take it anymore, I push him away hard and scream loudly and fall off the couch and try to find my way towards the door. He laughs in a childlike manner and jumps on top of me and bites down on my shoulder blade. “Ahhh!! What are you doing! 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. A shiver runs down my spine when I feel him kiss my cheek and start to go down to my jaw while leaving small trails of wet kisses. “Please stop it; this is not playing, please.” I hold in my cries and try to push myself away from him.

Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

I've been absolutely obsessed with TikTok’s romance novel community lately! The booktok scene is buzzing with some seriously swoon-worthy reads. 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover is everywhere—people can’t stop talking about its emotional rollercoaster and layered love story.

TikTokers are especially loving the 'grumpy x sunshine' dynamic in 'Book Lovers' by the same author. And let’s not forget 'Icebreaker' by Hannah Grace, which has everyone obsessed with its hockey romance vibes. These books are all over my FYP with heartfelt edits and tearful reactions!

As someone who spends way too much time hunting for book excerpts online, I’ve found a few goldmines for free romance novel snippets. Project Gutenberg is a treasure trove for classic romances like 'Pride and Prejudice' or 'Jane Eyre'—totally legal and free since they’re public domain. For contemporary reads, many authors post free chapters on their websites or Wattpad to hook readers. I’ve stumbled upon some amazing indie romances there. Another spot is Amazon’s 'Look Inside' feature, which lets you preview the first few chapters of most books. Some publishers also share excerpts on their sites, like Harlequin’s ‘Try a Book’ section. If you’re into fan translations or niche genres, Scribd sometimes offers free trials with access to tons of excerpts. Just be ready to fall down a rabbit hole—once I started reading a snippet from 'The Hating Game,' I *had* to buy the full book.

Are There Anime Adaptations Of Excerpts From Romance Novels?

As someone who devours both romance novels and anime, I can confidently say that there are indeed anime adaptations of excerpts from romance novels, though they aren’t as common as full adaptations. One standout example is 'Junjo Romantica,' which draws inspiration from the BL novel series by Shungiku Nakamura. The anime captures the essence of the original stories with its heartfelt moments and dramatic flair. Another great example is 'Ristorante Paradiso,' adapted from the manga which itself feels like a slice of a romance novel, focusing on mature relationships and emotional depth. For those who enjoy historical romance, 'The Story of Saiunkoku' is an anime based on a light novel series that blends political intrigue with slow-burn romance. While full adaptations are rare, many anime incorporate novel-like storytelling, such as 'Nana,' which feels like a deeply emotional romance novel brought to life. These adaptations often highlight the beauty of the original prose while adding visual and auditory elements that enhance the experience.

Harlequin is practically the godfather of romance publishing—they’ve been dishing out juicy previews for decades, especially with their 'Harlequin Presents' line. Their excerpts are like candy for romance lovers, giving just enough to hook you. Then there’s Avon, an imprint of HarperCollins, which specializes in historical and contemporary romance. They often release sneak peeks of books like Julia Quinn’s 'Bridgerton' series or Lisa Kleypas’s Wallflowers novels. Entangled Publishing is another gem, focusing on steamy and diverse romances, and their excerpts are always packed with emotional punches.

Each of these publishers knows how to tease a story just right, leaving you desperate for more.
