Adriana Herrera is an author of romantic fiction and erotica. She was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and now resides in New York City. [1]
Herrera's novels overturn conventions of the historical romance genre, such as heterosexuality; for example she has written about openly lesbian relationships in Paris during the 1889 Exposition Universelle. [2]
She was inspired to write because of a lack of romance books with Dominican, Latina, and queer characters. [1] She was influenced by Edith Wharton. [3] Herrera writes "unapologetically happy endings" to her stories. [4]
A story by Herrera was collected in Best Women's Erotica of the Year by Simon & Schuster in 2021. [5]
Her book American Love Story won a Ripped Bodice Award in 2020. [6] In 2023, her book On the Hustle won the Audie Award for Erotica. [7]
