Welcome to Litsy!

I'm not a fan of Romance novels, so I almost have to rate this book as a Pick. At the beginning I really enjoyed it, but after some time I still got bored with it. I don't need to hear about someones eyebrows three times in a row... But anyway, I made it through a Romance, and therefore it must be good.

This was a saucy little M/M romance with American Desta going to Ethiopia on an aid mission. He's following in his now deceased father's footsteps but questioning his next move. He meets Elias, an Ethiopian native assisting on the aid project, and they have a connection. Both guys are in a quarter-life crisis of sorts and a homosexual relationship in a country where it's illegal adds fuel to the fires burning inside them. Enjoyable & sexy.

Heartwarming romance set in Ethiopia. Deals with figuring out your purpose and finding freedom in a home that doesn't accept who you are

5/5 ⭐️ Loved this gay Ethiopian romance! After not being in Ethiopia since he was a young child, Desta is sent there for a work trip. He meets Elias who shows him just how beautiful Ethiopia is & how to follow his heart.
This relationship example is such an important one, as homosexuality is illegal in Ethiopia & many LGBTQ people face discrimination & even abuse. Sadly over 90% of the population believe LGBTQ should not be accepted.

Hoping to read these two books for #20in4 💚

Thanks for hosting Andrew!

Lovely romance - and by gosh do I want to go to Ethiopia now.
