Better at Weddings Than You
Better at Weddings Than You | Mina V Esguerra
21 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Daphne Cardenas is the best wedding planner around, and everyone knows it. That's why her friend Greg hired her as an emergency replacement one month before his wedding-because he fears his fiancee Helen is falling for the guy they first hired for the job. Aaron Trinidad is new to the wedding industry but years of conference planning and loads of charm make him good at it. Really good at it. Planning the wedding of his friend Helen should be easy, and it is. To be unceremoniously fired isn't good for his new career, but the chance to learn from the best might be the silver lining. Aaron and Daphne have chemistry, but there's history with Helen that at least one other person considers a threat. Who's the planner who can fix this impending disaster? (Part of the Chic Manila series, but can be read as a standalone.)

I enjoyed IRIS AFTER THE INCIDENT so much I decided to throw my reading plans out the window and tackle another by Mina V. Esguerra. This romance about wedding planners forced to collaborate is off to a good start!

I have been enjoying @minavesguerra's books since I discovered them in 2010. Better At Weddings Than You is no exception. Happy to share another #romanceclass title in my Best of 2017 list. The story starts during Christmas eve dinner buffet. So this evening is the perfect time to talk about this book! A fun and sexy romance with the hero and heroine both as wedding planners. Heroine is a strong and independent woman.👌

Sweet Saturday read—I know people who could be this book‘s main characters in real life so imagining them in a wedding war is soooo much fun. #romanceclass #romantsy

Better At Weddings Than You by @minavesguerra has a scene that is partially based on TWG tea salon. It's actually the scene where the heroine and hero (both of whom are wedding planners) meet for the first time. One of my favorite romance reads this year.🙌

#BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy: another pic with book and skincare recs combined.📚🍃🌹 This book by @minavesguerra was a refreshing read because of its go-getter, wedding planner heroine who is in her 30s, still single but doesn't give a damn. And I'm sure Daphne will approve of a good skincare regimen! I just started using Mono Naturals radiance facial oil and I'm loving it so far. It has 12 botanicals, e.g. rosehip, argan, moringa, neroli, sandalwood.

With everything that was going on during #FeelsSoHot last night, I forgot to ask @minavesguerra to sign this copy. So I brought it along during breakfast so she can sign it. Really enjoyed this Filipino romance between two wedding planners! Loved how independent and strong the heroine in this one is.

Coffee was a Filipino blend that had a hint of hazelnut.☕

A scene from @minavesguerra's book being read out loud by actors. The excerpt involved a sexy back rub at the end of a long day.🔥🔥🔥

I have a blog post sharing an excerpt from this Filipino romance set in Manila, where the heroine meets the hero for the first time. They set an appointment at a tea salon that was partially inspired by TWG. Check it out:

"Another sip, another wince. He really should go out to get proper coffee, if he hated this so much."

The hero was drinking 3-in-1 instant coffee and wasn't enjoying it. I also call coffee from a cafe "proper coffee"!

JazzFeathers And that coffee does look lovely 😆 7y
Chachic @JazzFeathers Tastes delicious too! The cafe has its own blend of beans.😋☕ 7y

One last shot from yesterday's brunch, this time withe the pastries and scones served with clotted cream and tea-flavored jelly. I loved it when they bring out the cake tiers.

"I love tea. I'll make my own choice."

That she did, calling the server and asking for a grape-and-cherry blend with a black tea base, and asked for it hot."

"She walked into the coziest little tea place she'd ever seen and couldn't help it, couldn't help feeling the delight that unfurled in her chest, then letting it make her smile."

Had brunch at TWG tea salon yesterday and I brought Better At Weddings Than You by @minavesguerra along with me. There's a tea salon scene in the book that was partially inspired by TWG, and I loved the descriptions of the place.🍵👌 there's also a scene where the hero eats a delicious salad (with chicharon!) so a pic of the book cover beside my salad was also a good idea.

Sometimes my friend and I say we'll have soup and salad for dinner but we end up having something else like braised pork belly instead. Proud to say I REALLY had soup and salad tonight.😂 If only it was the chicharon salad described in #BetterAtWeddingsThanYou by @minavesguerra. I had to make do with pumpkin soup and mozzarella cucumber granita salad. Just kidding! They were both good.

Better At Weddings Than You isn't on Litsy yet so I'm tagging another @minavesguerra book where the heroine makes an appearance. I started reading it this evening, and was wondering whether the tea shop described is a real place?

Steak makes stress go away! After a nerve-wracking afternoon, I needed to unwind and TWG seemed like a good choice. Ribeye with charred kale, served with vegetable millefeuille infused with tea. And @minavesguerra's latest title. I think this kind of meal can be served at a wedding so it's fitting for the title, right?
