Fairy-tale 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 dreamed 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.
Fairy-tale 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.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
An American Fairytale is a unique gay romance by Adriana Herrera. It's a beautiful story of finding someone who loves you for who you are, instead of in spite of who you are.
It wonderfully centers around two immigrants who struggle with their nationality while in America. Together, with a mutual Dominican background, Milo and Tom are able to appreciate each other in a way they've never found before.
It explores depression and the struggle to even want help. It's a story of coming from 2 different worlds, and trying to bridge the gap between their economic divide. It's a story of pride, and learning to accept help. It's a story of control, compromise, and gifts of love. And it's compelling, riveting, and one of those special reads.
The change in Tom from the start to end is fantastic, as he learns to appreciate his relationships and make an effort, instead of just taking control.
Having never read the first book in the series, I definitely need to go back and read it. That said, this is easily read as a standalone. But, loving these men and their world so much, I want more.

An American Fairytale is poignant, tender, and romantic. I definitely fell in love with these men and their story. I also fell in love with the atmospheric setting and culture. Well done Adriana Herrera.
