What You Wanted
What You Wanted | Mina V Esguerra
10 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
It's the classic one-night stand: Beach wedding, bridesmaid, groom's friend. When Andrea and Damon meet, sparks fly, and they give in to the attraction. Sounds simple, but Andrea's still getting over someone, and Damon thought he'd be hooking up with another person that night. It could still be simple, really, if they chalk it up to a weekend tryst and move on. But one night becomes lunch the week after, and then dinner the next weekend...and before they know it, Andrea and Damon are still together, dealing with the feelings they know they might still have for other people. How hard can it be to get exactly what you want? How do you even know what it is?

#MarchBookstagram2018 Day 4: Most Reread Book: The #romanceclass Textbook by @minavesguerra
I‘ve lost count of the times I‘ve opened and closed and re-opened this book, esp when I‘m writing. It doesn‘t only explain the fine points of writing Contemporary Romance in the PH setting, but has also become my reminder of how I started, what I need to improve on, and where I want my work to get to. #romantsy

Last night's sushi dinner with @minavesguerra and our friend Layla as a tribute to What You Wanted's love interest, Damon. It's his birthday on October 5 so this title is on sale for 0.99usd for a few days. In one of scenes in the book, Damon takes Andrea to a sushi place for a date.🍣🍤

Sharing an old pic of What You Wanted by @minavesguerra because this Filipino romance is currently on sale for just 0.99usd. Really enjoyed reading this, hero and heroine started off as a one night stand but they kept wanting to see each other again. Here's my 2015 review of it: https://chachic.wordpress.com/2015/11/29/what-you-wanted-by-mina-v-esguerra/

#romanceclass is hosting #FeelsFest2017 this October and we're doing a countdown by responding to all these prompts. This is one of my favorite lines, in one of my favorite books, by one of my favorite authors. Please get it if you want to try a contemporary Filipino romance in English!

#bookanddinner and another #foodiefiction title! Saboten's loin and cheese tenderloin katsu set and the foodie-est out of all of @minavesguerra's books. I'm pretty sure Andrea and Damon would approve of this meal, they have a cameo in another Chic Manila book where they had dinner at a katsu place.

EvieBee Cheese tenderloin katsu? That sounds and looks delicious! 8y
Chachic @EvieBee84 Those are the two pieces that have cheese filling! They were yummy but two was just the right amount, otherwise they could have been overwhelming.😁 8y

Andrea and Damon's romance started with Wedding Night Stand and is fleshed out in this installment. They were only supposed to have a one night stand but they discover that they LIKE spending time with each other and they're good together. This was a fun read. It's also the foodie-est out of all of Mina's books. Damon likes to have good food and always ends his meals with coffee☕ #romanceclass #romantsy #bookandcoffee #bookanddessert #bookandbrew

A few minutes late because I had to dig through my shelves (I can't believe I own so few physical copies) but I knew I couldn't let the night end without greeting the author who revolutionized Filipino romance. Happy Happy Birthday, @minavesguerra !!🎂🍰🎉📖📚 You are awesome and I'm sure everyone involved with #romanceclass will agree with me.💖 #romantsy #WeNeedDiverseBooks
