Publisher's Summary

From award-winning author Adriana Herrera comes a heartwarming - and seriously hot - contemporary romance in her highly acclaimed Dreamers series.

“Herrera delivers an emotionally resonant, sensually charged second Dreamers contemporary (after American Dreamer) that will knock readers’ socks off.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

American Fairytale is nothing short of magical.” (Book Riot, a Best Books of 2019 pick)

“A fresh and vital new voice in romance.” (Entertainment Weekly)

Fairy-tale endings don’t just happen; they have to be fought for.

New York City social worker Camilo Santiago Briggs grew up surrounded by survivors who taught him to never rely on anything you didn’t earn yourself. He’s always dreamt of his own happily ever after, but he lives in the real world. Men who seem too good to be true...usually are. And Milo never ever mixes business with pleasure...until the mysterious man with whom he had an unforgettable hookup turns out to be the wealthy donor behind his agency’s new, next-level funding.

Thomas Hughes built a billion-dollar business from nothing: He knows what he wants and isn’t shy about going after it. When the enthralling stranger who blew his mind at a black-tie gala reappears, Tom’s more than ready to be his Prince Charming. Showering Milo with the very best of everything is how Tom shows his affection.

Trouble is, Milo’s not interested in any of it. The only thing Milo wants is Tom.

Fairy-tale endings take work as well as love. For Milo, that means learning to let someone take care of him for a change. And for Tom, it’s figuring out that real love is the one thing you can’t buy.

Didn’t finish unfortunately

I really wanted to like this. I fell in love with Finding Joy and wanted to listen to more audiobooks with poc main characters.

American Fairytale started off charming and funny with a typical surprise hookup reunion trope but Milo ended up being too hard too like. I appreciate complexities and character flaws but he didn’t have enough redeeming qualities for me.

I’ll give this author another chance since Finding Joy was so good. Hopefully the social preachiness and extreme-politeness gets toned down a bit in her other novels. I love the ideals but it became repetitive quickly and took away from the story :/

Dislike for one of the main characters

Not entirely sure why it’s completely up to one character to have to compromise and what the other character sees as “compromise” is really a rationalization and a risk for him to do what he wanted to anyway. Just because he risked, didn’t mean he actually compromised and then he felt entitled to “be the way he is” and insist the other person step aside and allow him to just do it or “make him feel disrespected”. Unsure why the other character’s feelings don’t count and why ALL the friends can’t see that allowing someone to help and putting aside your ridiculous pride is also a value and something to aim for. How does Milo not see that his attitude should be telling his Mom that she too shouldn’t be able to accept help and should “do it all on her own” too? It’s like Tom was too perfectly created and the author had to invent some BS Achilles heel without having the other character recognize his hubris. Also, why is it only up to Tom to change to be better for the other person and okay for everyone who’s working physically hard to have a better life to resent people who have “made it” (literally from nothing) as now being lazy and rich? And then for Milo to not recognize that he was so stubborn to keep working through the stuff Tom could easily help with (which Milo considers “too easy”) but then be willing to give up the “more important” trip with his Mom? How does he not recognize what is really important and what you can’t get back - time with your loved ones? An infuriating plot line!
