Adriana Herrera’s standalone novels cover a range of settings across her career. Finding Joy (2020) is a contemporary romance, and Caught Looking (2021) is a sports romance, both showing her at home in the modern-day settings she established with the Dreamers series. Bootlegger’s Bounty (2024) is the most recent and the most unusual, moving into historical fiction set during the Prohibition era.
The standalones give Herrera room to experiment outside the constraints of a series, and each one brings the same priority she applies across all her work: centering characters whose backgrounds and identities are specific and real, and making sure the romance is at the core of the story. For readers who want to sample her writing without committing to a full series, these three books are a good starting point.
