Adriana Herrera published her debut novel in 2019 and quickly built a following among readers looking for romance that reflects a wider range of experiences. Her Dreamers series introduced protagonists who are Dominican immigrants navigating life in the United States, blending warmth and humor with genuine emotional depth. The series ran to five books in under two years, establishing her as a prolific and reliable voice in contemporary romance.
Her Las Léonas series marks a departure into historical fiction, following Caribbean women in 19th-century Paris and London. The books draw on real history to place Afro-Latinx women in glamorous, adventurous settings while keeping the romantic tension front and center. The Peculiar Tastes series takes yet another direction, moving into paranormal and fantasy romance with a collection of novellas featuring mythological figures and supernatural bargains.
Herrera has also contributed to anthologies including Black Love Matters (2022), which gathered essays and romance from Black authors about love and representation in the genre. Across all her work, whether contemporary workplace romances like Dating in Dallas, telenovela-inspired stories in Sambrano Studios, or holiday novellas, the throughline is romance that centers characters who are fully realized and whose identities are woven into the story rather than treated as a backdrop.
