Adriana Herrera recommends

A Shore Thing (2024)
Joanna Lowell
"A summer breeze of a book that reads like the best afternoon with friends. Joanna Lowell brilliantly offers a story of courage, self-discovery and community that will stay with me for a long time. Historical romance is better for this kind of story that boldly affirms love has always found a way. I adored Kit, Muriel, and their cycling adventures."

The Quince Project (2024)
Jessica Parra
"I adored this quirky and delightful teenage romp. I loved reading Cas's journey and was charmed by her tenaciousness and heart. A coming of age story with valuable lessons, strong friendships, and a full serving of swoony romance to boot. The Quince Project is a delight."

The Stranger I Wed (2024)
(Doves of New York, book 1)
Harper St George
"The Stranger I Wed captured me from the first page with the tenacious Cora Dove and kept me enthralled with a deliciously simmering romance. There is nothing I love more than a strong female lead and Cora is a woman after my own heart. This story has all my favorite things in a marriage of convenience: snappy banter, palpable yearning, sizzling chemistry, and ultimately, a passion that cannot be denied. A fabulous start to an exciting new series. Harper St. George is one of my must-read historical romance authors."

The House on Biscayne Bay (2024)
Chanel Cleeton
"I devoured this lush, propulsive, and twisty gothic in one sitting. The House on Biscayne Bay is an atmospheric and haunting tale with deliciously tense scenes and superbly delivered surprises. With Chanel Cleeton's expertly rendered historical detail and evocative imagery this haunting and atmospheric novel is the perfect read."

The Love Remedy (2024)
(Damsels of Discovery, book 1)
Elizabeth Everett
"A phenomenally courageous romance with a wonderfully tenacious heroine, that also manages to deliver on one of the swooniest and most complex heroes I've read in a long time. The Love Remedy is a perfect mix of delicious banter, crackling chemistry and phenomenally cozy moments with Lucy, her siblings, and the deliciously grumpy Mr. Thorpe. A gem of a romance and a brave one."

Marry Me by Midnight (2023)
(Once Upon the East End, book 1)
Felicia Grossman
"I adored this rich and unflinchingly feminist historical romance. Isabelle is my favorite kind of heroine--passionate, tenacious and complicated, and who never wavers going after what is her due--who finds her perfect match in steadfast and deeply swoony Aaron. This star-crossed lovers romance shines with its fairy tale whimsy and beautifully rendered glimpse of the Jewish community in the nineteenth century. I cannot wait for more tales from Grossman's corner of the East End."

Ana Maria and The Fox (2023)
(Luna Sisters, book 1)
Liana De la Rosa
"An enchanting love story with a fierce, complex heroine and a swoon worthy hero. The Luna sisters have arrived . . . and the London season will never be the same."

Full Exposure (2023)
Thien-Kim Lam
"Happy Endings is a big-hearted and delightfully sex-positive second chances romance that had me craving delicious soul food and fanning myself as I read. Trixie and Andre's passion for their work and each other will make you root for their HEAs, not just in love, but in business too."

West Side Love Story (2022)
Priscilla Oliveras
"West Side Love Story captures the very best things about Latinx communities: fiercely loving families, passionate strivers, and joyfully embracing who we are. This delightful enemies-to-lovers romance is full of swoon-worthy moments and brimming with strong female characters. You will be rooting as hard for Mariana's all-girl mariachi band as you will for the hard earned HEA."

American Royalty (2022)
(American Royalty , book 1)
Tracey Livesay
"Livesay gives us a love story that is as deliciously swoony and scorching hot, as it is firmly grounded in the world we live in. Resonant, romantic and with swag for days... Duchess is the heroine I've been waiting for since I read my first romance in middle school."

Dating Dr. Dil (2022)
(If Shakespeare Were an Auntie, book 1)
Nisha Sharma
"Hilarious, swoony, and oh so sexy... Dating Dr. Dil will steal your heart. Take it from me, seeing a man utterly ruined by love has never been more satisfying!"

A Lot Like Adios (2021)
(Primas of Power, book 2)
Alexis Daria
"A Lot Like Adiós is a thoroughly satisfying second chance romance with the heat turned all the way up to MUY caliente. Gabe and Michelle’s journey back to one another is brimming with moments of scorching passion and deep yearning. A love letter to fanfiction, the old neighborhood, and that one person from your past you could never forget."

The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina (2021)
Zoraida Córdova
"It is a remarkable gift to read the story an author was clearly born to write. Searing, lyrical, melancholy . . . beautiful. The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina captures the very essence of the immigrant story."

Scandal in the VIP Suite (2020)
(Miami Famous, book 1)
Nadine Gonzalez
"Scandal in the VIP Suite is the kind of romance I devour in one sitting. Full of banter and sizzling chemistry--and the lush descriptions of South Beach made me feel like I was right there in sunny Miami. The chemistry between Nina and Julia is off the charts, and it had me fanning myself or laughing out loud the entire time."

Starcrossed (2020)
(Magic in Manhattan, book 2)
Allie Therin
"This was delightful. The world building impressive, and if you have a thing for big overprotective soft-hearted heroes. This one will hit the spot."

Burn Zone (2020)
(Hotshots , book 1)
Annabeth Albert
"A new M/M series by Annabeth Albert with smoke jumpers; need I say more? Annabeth always delivers with her burly cinnamon rolls. She can also really bring it with the incredible sexy in books. She’s a very reliable read for me when I need something sweet, low angst and very hot."
