The Dreamers series launched Adriana Herrera’s career with American Dreamer in 2019 and grew to five books within two years. The series centers on a group of Dominican immigrants living and working in the United States, with each book pairing a new couple while the wider friend group remains a constant presence. Food, culture, and community are woven into every story, giving the series a distinctive warmth that sets it apart from standard contemporary romance.
American Dreamer follows a food truck owner and a nonprofit director, and the series continues through American Fairytale, American Love Story, American Christmas, and American Sweethearts, each with its own romantic pairing. The books include LGBTQ+ relationships and Black and Latinx protagonists, reflecting Herrera’s commitment to writing romance that centers characters who rarely headline mainstream series. The Dreamers books are consistently cited by readers as among her most emotionally satisfying work.
