#BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy: an excerpt from Prep & Prejudice by @mirenbflores, who clearly understands the awesomeness of Philippine mangoes.
"Dessert is fruit. Mangoes. Somehow he has figured out that it is one of her favorites, probably even before she did. Maybe a man who spends days playing with spices and herbs can look a person up and down and know what flavors and textures would work, the way a stylist thinks about clothes and jewelry..."
"She‘s not even related to any of them, yet she‘s grown up knowing all of them; she‘s had glimpses of how they live, these families whose last names are streets and buildings and corporations. Their children go sailing and learn how to ride horses; they study in boarding schools in the East Coast and in universities in North America and Europe; they‘re groomed to take over the family subsidiaries and corporations." #romantsy #romanceclass
pickThis is the only book I finished reading over the long break! Loved the enemies to lovers thing going on, the island life, and how surprisingly complicated Andrea's life was. @mirenbflores writes beautifully, but I already knew that from her first book. 💕 Looking forward to more! 😊
Ode to bread. 😍🍞
pickA romance with great potential and an author to watch but it could have used some editorial help. My biggest complaint would be that it switches perspectives mid-passage which was jarring and confusing. Also it is a novella but it would have been better for the added development of a full length novel. Overall though, flawed characters, enemies to lovers trope, and a great setting make this a pick. #romantsy (I ❤️ this hashtag!)

I'm on a redeye flight so I'm not sure how much reading I'll be able to do but since I'm heading home, I thought it would be fitting to have a Filipino romance on hand. #romantsy #romanceclass #Kindle
