American Sweethearts: A Second Chance Romance

Audio review: Story – 5 Performance – 5 Overall – 5 I've loved every book in this series! American Sweethearts is the fourth book in Adriana Herrera's Dreamers series but you don't need to read the others to enjoy it. I'm a bit late posting this review and here's why: While I got an advance copy of the book from NetGalley for review purposes, I decided that I really wanted to listen to this one instead of read it. I am fortunate that the audiobook became available through my local library, but it is totally worth a credit if you are an Audible subscriber. Once again, Sean Crisden outdid himself with his performance of this book. The many voices he did were fantastic. American Sweethearts was different from the first three in that it was an M/F story while the others have all been M/M. Even though I read mostly M/M books these days I knew that I had to read the final book in this series and I am so glad I did. Please read the book blurb as it describes the story much better than I can. Second chance stories and friends-to-lovers are my two favorite romance tropes. Priscilla and Juan Pablo were friends when they were young and then they became lovers. They ended up wanting different things and parted (that's over-simplifying it). The story is rich in the details of their relationship and what really caused them to part. How they've changed, and how they will work things out this time around, was really good to read. I should also mention that the book is also hot as fire. When Juan and Pris got it on I needed a fan. 😊 I'm a little sorry to see this series end but Adriana Herrera has gained a new fan and I'm looking forward to reading more books by her. A review copy of the ebook was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book. ***Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions dot com***

American Sweethearts by Adriana Herrera Dreamers #4 JuanPa and Pris have known and loved one another for years. Their relationship has been plagued with on again off again love-hate periods that have made them both feel it just wasn’t worth it to be together only to be drawn to one another again without seeming to avoid the magnetic pull they feel. I have to say I don’t remember much about the two of them from previous books and didn’t see what the two saw in one another except history and intense chemistry although perhaps there might be more. I also felt that JauanPa had jumped through hoops to be what Pris wanted but didn’t see Pris doing much giving on her side. The book introduces the two and the cast and crew from the previous books on a private jet set to fly to the Dominican Republic for the wedding of their friend Camilo. The whole group and their parents spend time together on island then head home again. There is talk of their jobs and friends and some time spent together and a case that is bothering Pris but in spite of their time together and how hot they are for one another – at least in the bedroom – I don’t get why they are REALLY together and what they have to sustain their relationship. I did enjoy the other books more than this one and think it might be because I could relate to the characters and the relationships they developed with their love interests in a way that I had trouble doing with JuanPa and Pris. I might have liked more about the two as individuals in their respective jobs or more time with them actually talking about their career goals and dreams of the future. I guess I felt I needed more about them and felt I had that with the characters in the previous books. Did I enjoy this story? So-so Would I read more in this series? Perhaps Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press for the ARC – This is my honest review. 2-3 Stars
