Description

Two men, two countries, one chance to stop running—from their pasts, their fears, and love itself.


Love shouldn't be a crime, but for twenty-three-year-old Teniade Adeowo, it is. After fleeing Nigeria to escape both the law and his trauma, Ade arrives in England with one goal: to leave everything behind. But when his path collides with Stefan Wickström's at Heathrow, Ade learns that sometimes the things you run from have a way of chasing you down.

Stefan is no stranger to running. Leaving Sweden behind, he's convinced that constant motion is the only way to stay one step ahead. But Ade's quiet intensity stops him in his tracks—and suddenly, Stefan's past feels closer than ever.

In a world where love feels like a luxury they can't afford, and with the ghosts of their pasts lurking just behind them, Ade and Stefan must decide whether to let love be the force that finally sets them free—or if their fragile bond will snap under the weight of secrets too heavy to bear.

Two men, two countries, one chance to stop running—from their pasts, their fears, and love itself.


Love shouldn't be a crime, but for twenty-three-year-old Teniade Adeowo, it is. After fleeing Nigeria...

This book was beautiful The characters show so much emotion and I loved seeing them interact with one another as their relationship builds. The story is one that a lot of queer people can relate to as they flee from those who want to do them harm and try to find love in places where they are accepted. This story was beautiful and touching.

Slow burn perfection! This book had me screaming but in a good way. It’s an emotional ride with deep characters and a beautiful show of brother and sister relationship. Ade and Stefan’s story is everything. It’s raw and real. Overall I loved this book and couldn’t recommend it enough

This was a wonderful, captivating read set in two different countries on two different continents. The book does a great job of expressing the struggles that LGBTQ+ people in Nigerian face. This story follows one such young man, as he moves to a new country to try to find safety.

Ade and Stefan are beautifully written characters that capture the reader’s attention as the story progresses.

The story has some time jumps so the reader can get the full understanding of what our boys have been through. Will they be able to find love in the end? Check this one out and see.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher/author for this copy of the book.

This story was a beautiful surprise. Despite both main characters carrying heavy pasts, the author handled their journey with care and realism. The ending tied everything together perfectly, leaving no questions unanswered.

Runnin' No More is a stunning debut. The author’s writing is captivating, and the symbolism added richness to the story. Ade’s kindness and love for music, paired with Stefan’s fiery determination, made them an unforgettable pair. Their struggles and growth felt authentic, and their resilience as a couple was inspiring.

This book is a heartfelt testament to love’s ability to heal and endure.
