You Had Me at Hola meets and Dirty Dancing in this enemies-to-lovers rom-com set in Puerto Rico's music industry.
Daniela is risk-averse, blazer-obsessed, and likes to be taken seriously. So when she lands an interview for a publicist position at a record label, she's prepared for anything. Except for working with the genre of music she hates most: reggaeton. It's supposed to inspire sensual hip-swinging dance moves and Dani's hips do not swing-not like that anyway. Out of desperation, Dani lies and says she loves reggaeton. But not only does Dani get the job, she gets a ticket to Puerto Rico . . . on a mission to clean up the scandalous image of international reggaeton singer Rene 'El Rico' Rodriguez.
Despite her best act, Dani's dislike of his music and Rene's prickly disposition is palpable, resulting in them butting heads at every turn. Yet as the two spend more time together under the island's sizzling sun, Dani realizes there's more to Rene than his rough edges and good looks. The man that many only see as a sex icon actually cares about his music, community, and culture. Against her will, she slowly begins finding him harder to hate. And before she knows it, Rene is teaching Dani how to find the rhythm of the music and learn to let go. But will she ever be ready to acknowledge the heat growing between them and put her heart on the line? Lissette Decos is a Cuban American executive television producer with over fifteen years' experience in reality TV formats of the love-wedding-relationship-disaster variety. Shows such as TLC's Say Yes to the Dress, 90 Day Fiancé, and Bravo's Summer House have helped mold her skills in telling an engaging and oftentimes unconventional love story. In addition to her stint in the "unreal" world of reality TV, Lissette also spent a decade in New York as a staff producer for MTV, which helped hone her expertise in all things pop culture, while searching for love in the big city. You might say she's got the story and the soundtrack for romantic angst down. "It's clear from the outset that veteran reality TV producer Decos knows her subject matter, and Ana is a likable, fun character who will make readers laugh and believe in finding true love."-Library Journal on Ana Takes Manhattan "Decos's snarky, yet lovably flawed, heroine possesses a searing wit that complements many daring escapades that reroute her career and lead her down a twisty road to love."-Shelf Awareness on Ana Takes Manhattan
