Bringing these books to RomanceClass FeelsFest2026! August 22, Saturday, 1 to 6 PM Greek To-Go Taverna, F Manalo, Quezon City (But also available on Amazon and Komiket Shopee/Lazada)

✅ First Time for Everything: During lockdown, things got too hot between friends Sabrina and Victor.

At the time she panicked and fled, but two years later she has a change of heart. They're both 41 and still single. Could they possibly try again?

✅ My Usual and You: Erika, 41, has had a steady, less complicated life since quitting her job and helping her best friend open a cafe. What could disturb this peace? Just her favorite customer asking her out on a date, and wanting more.

Cafe Titas is a duology about best friends who start a small cafe in their 40s and the love they find (and finds them!) at this time.

Available as a set with this special dust jacket. (PH 🇵🇭 only)

✅ Kiss and Cry: Figure skater Cal and hockey player Ram were not allowed to date when they were younger. Ten years later, on his last three weeks in Manila, they get a second chance to see what their relationship might have been like.

✅ So Forward: Ex figure skater/secret MBA student Colin and ex hockey player/MBA prof Lexa make a deal to help each other — with business school defense demos, dance lessons, and lazy, cozy weekends.

Listed: Cafe Titas set P950, First Time for Everything P500, My Usual and You P500, Kiss and Cry P500, So Forward P500, Better at Weddings Than You P500, Iris After the Incident P500, My Imaginary Ex P450, Love Your Frenemies P450, That Kind of Guy P450, No Strings Attached P450, Interim Goddess trilogy Vibal edition P300 each.

We publish our first Kilig Notes short tomorrow! Kilig Notes on RomanceClass Patreon will premiere new short stories/short story or novel beginnings written during previous and ongoing classes.

Screenshot of upcoming RomanceClass Patreon email. Banner says HAVE WE MET BEFORE by CT Cue, with hearts, a pink frame, and photos of a movie theater, popcorn, a campus hallway, and a college m/f couple.

Synopsis: Jenna is only watching this movie at University Vision-Mission Week because her younger sister is part of the event committee. What would have been a quiet couple of hours takes an interesting turn when Andrew sits down next to her.

Happy to be able to attend a book signing for Ines! (I'll be in Dumaguete on the day of her next one) This was in Fully Booked BGC.

Me and Ines Bautista-Yao, holding her book Happily Ever After...Again

"...If you've only read her young adult books, this is just as hopeful--a great read for someone who may need the reminder that happiness can still be possible after a crushing betrayal."
