fun, cute, not life-changing. The conflict seemed a little dull towards the end

I just wasn’t enjoying it. The writing style was not for me.

travelingbibliophile_'s review against another edition

This  was a pretty cute and enjoyable read! It was a little insta lovey, but the relationship between the two characters was really sweet. 

I really loved learning about the Ethiopian culture.

The book deals with some serious subjects, so I would have liked it if those had been expanded on a little more.

Dafür, dass ich normalerweise keine Romance-Bücher lese, fühlte ich mich von dieser Geschichte über lange Strecken ganz gut unterhalten. Dies liegt vor allem am Setting. Man ein bisschen etwas über Äthiopien, auch wenn man hier noch mehr hätte einbauen können.

Aber auf die Dauer wurde ich dann doch ungeduldig. Es geht ein paar Mal zu hören, welch tolle Augenbrauen jemand hat, aber fünf bis sechs Mal in einem Buch? Nein, das muss für mich dann doch nicht sein. Auch die sexy Szenen fand ich irgendwie öde, auch wenn es hätte schlimmer sein können.

Wie man merkt liegt mir dieses Genre einfach nicht, auch wenn es sich bei den Figuren um zwei Männer handelt. Romance ist halt Romance, egal, wer mit wem. Jedoch habe ich, wie schon gesagt, schon Schlimmeres erdulden müssen. Hier waren zumindest die Hauptfiguren sympathisch ;)
