Issabella was a twenty-seven-year-old grade school teacher and an elementary school textbook writer. She wore eyeglasses and outmoded clothes. Her lifestyle was old-fashioned and her values were conservative. In short, isa siyang manang. Ikinabigla niya nang mabalitaan niyang sa kanya ipinamana ng kanyang Tiya Selena ang lahat ng ari-arian nito. But there was a proviso in her last will and testament. Makukuha lamang daw niya ang lahat ng ibinigay nito kung maipagpapatuloy niyang isulat ang librong hindi nito natapos nang maratay ito sa karamdaman. Of course, she could write. Pero mukhang hindi niya kayang ipagpatuloy ang pagsusulat ng unfinished manuscript ng isang sexologist! So now she had to find a sex guru to guide her in writing about a subject she was totally clueless about: Sex 101. May isang nagboluntaryong tulungan siya sa pagsusulat ng libro-si Drew dela Merced, isang part-time model and full-time sex god. Pero hindi raw ito papayag na pulos lecture lang sila dahil hands-on daw ito kung magturo! *Pubished under PHR* https://preciouspagesebookstore.com.ph/Product/Info/1051/Ang-Manang-At-Ang-Playboy NOTE: Oh, dear.
