From award-winning author Adriana Herrera comes a novel hailed as one of Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Romance Novels of 2019 and a TODAY Show Hot Summer Read.
No one ever said big dreams come easy
For Nesto Vasquez, moving his Afro-Caribbean food truck from New York City to the wilds of Upstate New York is a huge gamble. If it works? He'll be a big fish in a little pond. If it doesn't? He'll have to give up the hustle and return to the day job he hates. He's got six months to make it happen—the last thing he needs is a distraction.
Jude Fuller is proud of the life he's built on the banks of Cayuga Lake. He has a job he loves and good friends. It's safe. It's quiet. And it's damn lonely. Until he tries Ithaca's most-talked-about new lunch spot and works up the courage to flirt with the handsome owner. Soon he can't get enough—of Nesto's food or of Nesto. For the first time in his life, Jude can finally taste the kind of happiness that's always been just out of reach.
An opportunity too good to pass up could mean a way to stay together and an incredible future for them both...if Nesto can remember happiness isn't always measured by business success. And if Jude can overcome his past and trust his man will never let him down.

Narrator Sean Crisden wraps listeners in the warmth of food truck owner Nesto Vasquez, whose Dominican heritage inspires his delicious Afro-Caribbean food. Nesto parks his truck opposite the Ithaca Library and strikes immediate sparks with librarian Jude Fuller. Both men have to balance work priorities and family baggage before they get their sweet and steamy happily-ever-after. Crisden contrasts Nesto's rolling Spanish accent with Jude's earnest personality for a charming opposites-attract story. Nesto's mother and friends and Jude's Dominican-American friend, Carmen, each have distinct personalities through Crisden's voicings. Crisden highlights the couple's extensive relationship-building as well as their intense intimate moments. Listeners will be caught up in the emotional sincerity of Herrera's memorable romance. C.A.

Starred review from March 1, 2019
Ernesto Nesto Vasquez has given himself six months to make his Afro-Caribbean food truck the success he knows it can be. Step one is moving his business out of New York City to Ithaca, where there is an untapped market for the Caribbean culinary delights he can deliver. Step two is ignoring any distractions that might come up along the way. Distractions like sexy librarian Jude Fuller, who just happens to be one of Nesto's first customers. Jude, who has his own hands full pursuing approval for a new grant, is more than willing to take a pass on dating anyone, including the too-delicious-for-words Nesto. But how much longer can Jude convince himself that visiting Nesto's truck is just about the food? Herrera not only dishes up plenty of muy caliente same-sex love scenes in her impressive, not-to-be-missed debut, which beautifully celebrates the rich diversity of life in the U.S., but she also excels at creating the kind of rich emotional connections between her protagonists that romance readers will find irresistible.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
