Review: Shawn's Law

Shawn's Law by Renae Kaye and Casey Hunter
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

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. 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. 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. 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.

 
I read 25% of this audiobook and have to stop now.
I get that Sawn is accident prone but I want something more than that. The joke is getting old and I want a gay love story. Not a listing of setbacks.
Second to that, the story is told in the past tense, interrupted in the present tense when the character interrupts his story to talk to the reader. Not my favorite thing.
