Guest Post: My Perfect Romance

Two chatty, high-spirited podcasts dish it up about Harry’s misadventures in Kenya(Names changed to avoid consequences)

Book club party cohosts Val, Courtney, & Lisa review the tender-hearted novel Harry Harambee's Kenyan Sundowner, which tells the story of a lonely widower’s “second-chance romance.”

The My Perfect Romance podcast discusses all things romance — they discuss books, movies, and interview real couples as well.

It’s set in the intriguing locale of a luxury seacoast resort in Kenya.

But perfect? Hardly. Harry worries:

Is corruption a fact of life everywhere?

Is all love transactional?

Am I being scammed? (If I’m enjoying myself, should I care?)

Am I a tourist or a citizen?

The author reluctantly admits that Harry’s misadventure is a fictionalized memoir, but he refuses to say which incidents actually happened to him when he lived for two years in Kenya.


Harry Harambee’s Kenyan Sundowner is available in paperback, Kindle/EPUB, and audiobook (on Audible, Apple, Google Play, BN, Kobo, and other popular platforms).
