About this audiobook
From award-winning author Adriana Herrera comes a heart-warming—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
Fairytale 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 he had an unforgettable hookup with 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.
Fairytale 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I may have loved this book more than American Dreamer. There was a lot about this that spoke to me, especially when Camilo talks with Tom about reconciling how he looks and a person's immediate perception of him with who he is, where he grew up and how he was raised. I totally relate to that!
This book reads very different from book 1. Camilo's personality is so different from Herrera's previous characters and she does a great job of showcasing that. I was a little worried that each book would feature the same type of character considering that this was a group of friends who gravitated to each other based on their similar life experiences and circumstance. However, Camilo's desires to be his own person and the motivation behind that felt so honest and real for him. The things he was passionate about had weight to it.
There is an instant connection between Tom and Camilo and I was there for it from the beginning.
I will say that the circumstance that led to them meeting up had me on the edge of my seat the whole book. I was worried the eventual conflict would be the thing that turned me off from the story, but it all ended up being okay for me.
I even understand where Tom was coming from.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish and I will definitely be in for the rest of this series.2 people found this helpful
