Publisher's summary
“A fresh and vital new voice in romance.” (Entertainment Weekly)
From award-winning author Adriana Herrera comes a novel hailed as one of Entertainment Weekly’s 10 Best Romance Novels of 2019 and a Today Show Hot Summer Read.
No one ever said big dreams come easy.
For Nesto Vasquez, moving his Afro-Caribbean food truck from New York City to the wilds of Upstate New York is a huge gamble. If it works? He’ll be a big fish in a little pond. If it doesn’t? He’ll have to give up the hustle and return to the day job he hates. He’s got six months to make it happen - the last thing he needs is a distraction.
Jude Fuller is proud of the life he’s built on the banks of Cayuga Lake. He has a job he loves and good friends. It’s safe. It’s quiet. And it’s damn lonely. Until he tries Ithaca’s most-talked-about new lunch spot and works up the courage to flirt with the handsome owner. Soon he can’t get enough - of Nesto’s food or of Nesto. For the first time in his life, Jude can finally taste the kind of happiness that’s always been just out of reach.
An opportunity too good to pass up could mean a way to stay together and an incredible future for them both...if Nesto can remember happiness isn’t always measured by business success. And if Jude can overcome his past and trust his man will never let him down.

Julia del Mar Ortiz is not having the best year. She moved to Dallas with her boyfriend, who ended up ditching her and running back to New York after only a few weeks. Left with a massive - by NYC standards, anyway - apartment and a car lease in the scorching Texas heat, Julia is struggling...except that’s not completely true. Running the charitable foundation of one of the most iconic high fashion department stores in the world is serious #lifegoals.

Story
Theo Decker might be the lead singer of Riven, but he hates being a rock star. The paparazzi, the endless tours, being recognized everywhere he goes - it all makes him squirm. The only thing he doesn't hate is the music. Feeling an audience's energy as they lose themselves in Riven's music is a rush unlike anything else...until he meets Caleb Blake Whitman. Caleb is rough and damaged, yet his fingers on his guitar are pure poetry. And his hands on Theo? They're all he can think about. But Caleb's no groupie - and one night with him won't be enough.

I have to stop replaying the one night I spent with my rival. Trouble is, that white-hot encounter with the other quarterback answered a lot of questions I’ve had about myself, but it also led me into this mess where he hates me. I never showed up for our second date. Since, well, life happened, and the worst part is he’ll never know how much that night meant to me.

A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right? I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life.

Tia Monroe was smart, sassy, and successful. Sure, she could get a little crazy at times - life around Tia was never boring - but that was part of her appeal. And while she didn't see herself as classically beautiful, she had no shortage of options in the boyfriend department. She just hadn't found one who held her interest. Until she laid eyes on Eric Larsson, and then it was lust at first sight. He packed the perfect mix of smoldering sexy and unapologetic cool into his blond-haired, blue-eyed, ridiculously hot six-foot-four frame.

Story
The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

What I wanted for my birthday: Books. What I got for my birthday: my brother’s best friend playing matchmaker. Let it be known that I am 100 percent against being set up with somebody. And I’m 1,000 percent sure that Josh Carter's not the man to find me a boyfriend. I mean, if I’m so great, why isn’t he the one dating me? (For the record, I don’t know the answer. That’s just what the guy on the internet asked.) I’ll humor him. If I go on his little dates, he’ll teach my bookish, introverted self how not to be totally, completely, utterly, unforgivably awkward.

I’m desperate and destitute when Lockwood Construction rolls into my small town with an offer too good to pass up: high wages to any able-bodied man willing to join their crew. Say no more. I throw on baggy clothes, tuck my long hair under a baseball hat, and apply for a job. Unfortunately, my half-baked idea of disguising myself as a guy is flawed from the beginning. As Shakira says, these hips don’t lie. Still, I like to think I might have pulled the whole thing off save for one thing: I know my boss.

Yowza!
I can't tell you how much I loved this story. Okay, maybe I'll try to use my words...
I lived in the Dominican Republic when I was a kid and the idea of a young Dominican man trying to make his dream come true by owning his own food truck - spoke to me. Plus the love story is both sweet and hot.
I want to add that Sean Crisden does an amazing job as a narrator. I noticed in some other reviews for other books that people didn't like his narration, but I think he is terrific and highly recommend his work as a narrator and of course, highly recommend the very awesome Adriana Herrera's stories

I loved this audible! The narrator was deliciously perfect. I think that M/M romances are truly the best of all romances. This audible was not only romantic but also sexy and erotic. The storyline was Good. This audible was sincerely so very entertaining. Thank You Adriana Herrera for sharing your story and a standing ovation to Sean Crisden for the narration. Together you two absolutely created art.

I loved the book from the very start and could not put it down until it was over! It was quite suspenseful. It was so wonderful to experience a passionate and proud Afro-Latino love story. The support the lovers received from family and friends was heart-warming. Just a GREAT book!

I'll trade you a MItzy for a GR food truck
This looks like a great new series from a new author. I was captivated by the storyline and the characters. The relationship between Nesto and Jude was fairly traditional in that they didn't have penetrative sex until they were committed to one another. Don't worry though, there is still some heavy foolin' around going on. Not a lot, but what there is, is soooo hot. There were a lot of feels in this story. I was at times, smiling, crying, yelling, disappointed, and hangry (there was some wicked food porn). I would love to live in that small community. Oh wait, I do live in a similar small town, but we don't have a GR food truck. What we do have are lots of Mitzy's. I would happily trade a few for the food. This story was narrated by Sean Crisden. I loved his accents and the flavour he added to the story.

Brings the food and books and love
Charming tale of family and community helping (and in some cases hindering) Ernesto and Jude to spread Caribbean food and books in upstate NY. Sadly, the “I’d like to speak to your manager” nemesis and “I’ll pray for your soul” frenemies are all too realistic. (May we rout out all such bad behavior in real life even if if leaves future authors scrambling for villains.) Two guys are trying to balance work and love for each other and all their cultural histories. They get it right then goof up and try again and it is mostly* sweet.
(*see nemesis, grr.)
American Dreamer, aptly titled, was recommended to me by an internet stranger who clearly has good taste in books. I enjoyed Crisden’s narration. The spanish flowed easily with translations worked into later text for monolingual listeners. Recommend both book and audiobook.

Spoilers
Spoilers in this paragraph:
Ernesto means well but falls back on his long established hustle when stressed. When Jude kicks him to the curb, he is right to do so. Then There is a dilemma. No means no. How do you honor someone’s “go away” without trampling their consent? I think the author handled it well by establishing that the guys still cared for each other enough to give up something for the other with no promise of reconciliation. Partly this worked because it fit the characters. Jude needed someone to volunteer to be on his side and stick with him. His no was a preemptive strike. It also worked because people the guys cared about and who cared about them put effort into the reunion, and we know from how each acted with good faith earlier in the story that they would not knowingly push their friends into a bad situation. I felt that Jude could have held firm to his no if he really wanted to. I felt that Ernesto truly needed to practice giving up on income on purpose to start to change his behavior pattern to include people rather than exclude them when stressed. (This ending would have been very wrong if Jude’s past included stalking instead of abandonment.) While I’m in the spoiler paragraph I’m going to say that of course the flat tire rescue would come round right.

Overall Okay
The story is fine, but the fact that the main characters made no attempt to stop the bigot after her first bout of shittiness through the multiple means of recourse they had is frustratingly stupid.

Nesto was amazing; Jude was just aight
I've been waiting for this book for a while. As a Black Cuban, there are only small handfuls of published stories that I know about(maybe plenty that I don't) where the synopsis describes the main character as Afro-Latinx. Some of the books I've read have been a hit or miss, but I'm pleased to say Nesto was a win for me.
I didn't love everything in the book. Jude, his love interest didn't excite me. It felt like he expected comfort for his privilege and ability to be in spaces no one gave him permission to be in, and I just didn't connect to him based on that in our 2019 climate. Without putting so much emphasis on it, it felt like a lot of the brown characters went out their way to comfort and help white characters, and that was a real drag and I felt this author was capable of more than what we're used to in romance already.
But now that I got what I didn't disconnected to most out the way, I liked that Nesto and all his friends reminded me of people from Nueva York, especially hood kats. They were all queer and Latinx, but even though afro-caribbean was thrown around a lot, I didn't get the sense they were Black passing, as they were never described as such, as we all know having a Black grandmother is enough to use the term Afro-Latinx in this atmosphere of drowning out the voices for many of us who've always had to embrace being Black.
I know Dominican culture is very Black, and not in an American way, so I just want to be clear that I don't read all Black narratives the same, and don't expect one story to tell the right one. But I don't recall any of them ever using the term Black to describe themselves, and that hurt a little bit, but I still thought the DR representation, especially the family narrative was on point.
It's super hard to find DR rep with food and language(both code switching and DR Spanish) done right. Even though I have a handful of reservations, even great books have things a reader won't connect to, and I shouldn't fault every detail I didn't enjoy when I enjoy nearly everything else.
I'll say this with conviction, as I always do with a book featuring an Afro-Latinx main character; this wasn't my Afro-Latinx story. But it was someone else's and I'm glad I got to read it. I look forward to future stories from this author.
