I decided it was only fair to randomly scatter some of my favourite quotes throughout the review. The only one in my house had blue hair glued to it and had burst in a not-so-good way over my lounge. He came prepared, thank goodness, and brought his own condom. She doesn’t know where I live! So with some trepidation I started reading…and started grinning like an absolute nutter. If I don’t like it what’s the worst that could happen. Then I realized how ridiculous I was being. Honest to God, I was actually contemplating not reading one of my favourite author’s books on the off chance I wouldn’t like her sense of humor. I’ve loved all of her previous books but what if I read this one only to discover that Renae Kaye only thinks she’s funny? Or maybe everybody thinks she’s funny except me.

I’m a diehard Renae Kaye fan but humor is such a subjective thing. I’ll confess, I was hesitant to read this one. 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. 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. The two men make it through a memorable first date and Shawn’s sexual insecurities to begin a relationship stumbling toward love.

Harley doesn’t believe in Shawn’s Law-but he soon changes his mind. When Shawn takes a spectacular fall on his front steps, who is there to witness it other than the man of his dreams? 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. Shawn is single, twenty-nine, the full-time carer of his Alzheimer’s-stricken mother, and a frequent victim of Murphy’s Law-although his family calls it Shawn’s Law.
