Silvana Reyes is a Mexican book blogger. She enjoys all types of sub-genres, but loves a good love story. Romance fiction is her heart and joy and you might find her screaming about book releases on her Twitter account.

If you don’t know: #romanceclass is a community of Filipino romance authors writing in English. Most of them take place in the Philippines but can also take place in other parts of the world (amazing!!). I have been such a huge fan of this community and their creations that I couldn’t stop myself of making this list because I know that some people out there are just as excited as I am. Get ready for these 7 upcoming #romanceclass novels to warm your cold heart.

Cora Justa Dumagat has had enough of the corrupt cats of the council of Cincamerre who only risk people’s lives in exchange for a payday.

Vlog Like You Love by Clarisse David (Clarisse is also aiming for an April release)

We don’t know much about this book! Clarisse has tweeted a bit about it and she says: “When Bianca’s boyfriend shows up in another vlogger’s My Boyfriend Does My Makeup video, all bets are off the table.”

It’s about vlogging, we can definitely say that much, and we love any type of blogger so this is so amazing already!
