So what does Renae have to say? Let's read....
I
don’t pretend to be a ‘serious’ writer.
I don’t mean that I’m a writer that doesn’t take her work
earnestly. I mean that I don’t write
real, angsty, serious stories. One of my
first reviews on Goodreads about my debut story Loving Jay, was that it was a piece of fluff.
I
took this as a compliment. *grin*
Life’s
too short to be tied up in knots and agony.
I’d rather be tied up in stitches and laughter. So there are a few things to remember when
reading this book.
1. Don’t forget your sense of humour.
2. Don’t read in public unless you don’t mind
others staring at the “crazy person in the corner.”
3. Keep your distance from others while reading,
because you may spit as you burst out laughing.
4. Check to make sure the floor is clean before
rolling around on it in laughter.
5. It’s fiction.
(Bonus
hint: if you have a weak bladder, pack a change of undies).
If
you’re feeling down, or if you need a good laugh, then pick up Shawn’s Law. You will be taken on a topsy-turvy adventure
with poor, poor Shawn. You see,
accidents just happen around him. To
him. By him. To people near him. In Shawn’s family, they don’t call it
Murphy’s Law, they call it Shawn’s Law.
Poor,
poor Harley. I mean – all he wanted was
to date Shawn, and instead he gets to meet a whole bunch of people he never
expected. Like the doctors at the
Emergency Department and all the
nurses in the hospital. People like the
repo guys and the auto-breakdown guys who know Shawn’s name and address off the
top of their heads. And who can forget
Shawn’s family?
Now,
you may be put off by the term “several deadly Australian animals,” but let me
reassure you – no one dies. No one loses
a limb. No one loses an eye. So yes, there’s a snake – but that’s what
anti-venom is for, isn’t it? And yes,
there is a spider bite – but you will find out that no one has died from a
redback spider for decades. And yes,
there is a… Well – maybe you should find
out for yourself. Because there are also
several cute and cuddly animals – like quokkas.
And majestic animals like Carnaby’s Cockatoos. And if you don’t know what either of those
are, then you’re in for a treat!
So
now, the most important questions?
1. Is it HEA?
Of course.
2. Does anyone die from the attacking
wildlife? No.
3. Will I laugh?
I believe you will.
4. Where can I buy?
Blurb: Shawn is single, twenty-nine, the full-time career of his
Alzheimer’s-stricken mother and a frequent victim of Murphy’s Law—although his
family call it Shawn’s Law. Other than caring for mum, his day consists
of painting nude men and spying on the guy who walks his dogs along the street
every day at four o’clock. When he takes a spectacular fall on his front steps,
who is there to witness it other than the man of his dreams?
Harley doesn’t
believe in Shawn’s Law – but he soon changes his mind.
The two men make it through a memorable first
date and Shawn’s sexual insecurities to begin a relationship stumbling toward
love. But when Shawn’s Law causes Harley to be injured, Shawn is
determined to save Harley’s life the only way he knows how—by breaking up with
him. Not once, but twice. Throw in a serial killer ex-boyfriend,
several deadly Australian animals, two dogs called Bennie, a mother who forgets
to wear clothes, an unforgiving Town Council, and a strawberry-flavored condom
dolly, and Shawn’s Law is one for the books.
My Review:
I
was SO lucky to get an advanced copy of this book! I am a huge Renae
Kaye fan so of course I was excited to read this! It's not often a book
can make me laugh until my sides hurt. The last book to do that was Tell
Me it's Real by TJ Klune. Shawn's Law is HILARIOUS. Side splitting.
Pure entertainment. A book about: Is is bad luck or is it good luck?
Either way, it's freaking funny. Renae went all out and I can easily say
this is the funniest book I've read this year. I highly recommend you
read this book!
Renae will be giving one luck fan a copy of Shawn's Law! ON RELEASE DAY! This contest will run until March 6th and the winner will be notified via email (So check your spam folder)
I want to thank Renae for being here today and for writing yet ANOTHER fabulous book! Good luck to you all!!!
