Today we welcome Adriana Herrera to SmexyBooks! Her debut book, American Dreamer, releases on March 4, 2019. The HEROES.

He is a Dominican-Cuban actor—you may have seen him as Costas on Pose—and he looks exactly how I envision my favorite Afro-Caribbean food Continue Reading

An absolute page turner from beginning to end. A Continue Reading

While I am talking about the little things in this book that bothered me, I want to mention that the word “girl” was used 63 times. The heroine, Phebe is a ball busting project manager Continue Reading
