American Love Story
by Adriana Herrera
A lovely and sensual second-chance romance between a new-to-town college professor and the assistant district attorney who challenges him to embrace happiness and love. But their happiness as a couple comes to a head when both Patrice and Easton find their respective careers taking them in divergent paths when the local law enforcement begins unfairly targeting young men of color in their community.
Can Patrice, a Haitian born immigrant turned social activist, accept happiness as his due when others like him suffer the consequences of being judged by the color of their skin, by their accent, by their immigration status? Can Easton, a rich, White man with a connected family, continue to toe the party line as he considers running for District Attorney while trying not to alienate the same police force he depends on to be witnesses for many of his cases while also not alienating his new boyfriend who wants him to do so much more?
As always Herrera deftly weaves a story both compelling and sensual as she makes her characters work for their HEA. Readers will also be pleased to see the other couples from the previous books making appearances.
I have to say I was very worried about Patrice being pulled over by the police throughout this story. I was so worried about what would happen that I just really want to say I appreciate the happily ever after promise Carina gives.
