It’s heeeeeere! The pre-order link for Love As You Are is here!!!
If you are one of those people who have been waiting for Isagani’s book since 2020 (WOW), thank you for your patience. Our favorite Kuya is coming soon! (Pun intended, lol)
Love As You Are is a contemporary romance novel about two Filipino characters in their 30s who, after an embarrassing meet-disaster, become acquaintances and workout buddies until they eventually develop feelings for each other. Here’s the official blurb:
Former violinist Isagani Alvez hasn’t had a serious relationship in almost ten years, but at thirty-seven, romance is the least of his priorities. There are, after all, many more important things to prioritize. Like taking care of his mother, managing his family’s home, keeping himself in shape, and, most recently, making sure the Alvez Foundation for the Arts remains true to its objectives.
Office manager Moe Castellana has been single all thirty-six years of her life. She is finally about to go on a date for the first time, something she should be looking forward to. Unfortunately, her soon-to-be first date swiped right on a severely outdated photo, and she fears he would accuse her of catfishing when he sees her—twenty kilos heavier—in person.
A series of awkward encounters locks Isagani and Moe in each other’s orbits, and the longer they spend time together—workout sessions, cheat days, and campaign rallies included—the more they feel a blooming sense of affection for each other. But he thinks she’s taken (or is about to be), and she thinks he’s way out of her league. Who will be brave enough to take the first step and let their feelings be known? And would they be able to do it before it’s too late?
Love As You Are will be released digitally on Amazon on August 15, 2026. You may now pre-order the book for $2.99 (regular price: $4.99) here. The paperback edition for PH residents will be available from August 22 onwards. Hope you can join me at the launch!
Stay tuned for the cover reveal! <3
