ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 15, 2021

A single dad, a model, and a comedian walk into a bar… They’re all Owen Brodie.
It’s only funny if you aren’t the hilarious struggling comedian who has been hired to be his son’s nanny for the stand-up tour.

Dear Ms. Hogan,

I’m emailing to offer you the job as my son’s nanny because Sam had a temper tantrum when I told him I can’t hire you to come on my stand-up tour with us. “She heckled me at a club a few years ago,” I wanted to say. “She is the sassy little turd who trolls me on Twitter,” I could have told him. “She’s an even bigger pain in the butt when we’re face-to-face,” I thought to myself. What I would never tell him is—things could get complicated. For reasons.

Let me know if you want the job.

With great reluctance,
Owen

#AdorableHowObsessedYouAreWithMe

Dear Mr. Brodie,

Thank you for your email. Please inform Sam that I like him very much and would love to be his nanny and accompany him on your terrible joke of a stand-up tour.

I can assure you—things will not get complicated. For many, many reasons.

Primarily because Owen Brodie isn’t funny, and he can suck it.

Out of financial desperation and a fondness for your son,
Frankie

REVIEW: FUNNY BUSINESS is the first instalment in Kayley Loring’s contemporary,adult, BRODIE BROTHERS erotic, romance series. This is stand up comedians Owen Brodie, and Frankie Hogan’s storyline.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Owen and Frankie) following two timelines, FUNNY BUSINESS follows three years after wanna be comedienne Frankie Hogan heckled her childhood idol, former actor/model turned comedian Owen Brodie. Fast forward to present day wherein Frankie continues to virtually ‘heckle’ our storyline hero as her own stand up career slowly implodes. Having been fired from yet another job, Frankie finds herself facing her life-long crush turned nemesis, Owen Brodie, when her uncle turned talent agent Martin Hancock, finds her a job working as the nanny for Owen’s seven year old son Sam. A month long assignment finds Frankie touring America with our story line hero including a one-night stand up in Detroit, Michigan, where Frankie kills on the standup stage. As Frankie begins to fall for Owen’s son Sam, Owen begins to fall for the woman who has trolled him online for close to three years. What ensues is the building but forbidden romance and relationship between Owen and Frankie, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to a close.

Frankie Hogan has been struggling with her stand up routine but time spent with Owen meant a chance as an assistant writer on Owen’s new television show but everything in Hollywood is about appearances, and Owen is about to discover that his relationship with Frankie may be a bone of contention with the people higher up. Owen Brodie is a single father whose first wife wasn’t a fan of his time on the road, leaving Owen to find love with someone else. Needing a nanny for his seven year old son, Owen never expected to come face to face with his online troller, a woman who stirred something deep within our story line hero.

The relationship between Owen and Frankie is an enemies to lovers, forbidden relationship. Frankie struggles with her own failing stand up career, taking aim at the man who has starred in all of her fantasies since the age of fourteen. Owen played along with his online ‘troll’ never expecting to come face to face three years after she heckled his routine. Falling for Frankie was easy, letting her go nearly broke his heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and steamy without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced, via numerous texts and emails to Owen’s brothers Dylan and Miles, and their parents Mama and Pops Brodie; Frankie’s friend Mia, and her talent agent uncle Martin Hancock.

The author uses numerous texts and emails, as well as phones calls and journal entries to help build the world of FUNNY BUSINESS. Slated as a rom-com, Kayley Loring capitalizes on an inordinate number of fart, butt, Dick and poop jokes aka toilet humor which may or may not be suited to your idea of humor or fun. FUNNY BUSINESS is a story of fame and success, struggles and acceptance, family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is engaging and entertaining; the romance is provocative; the characters are playful and energetic.

Reviewed by Sandy

Before writing steamy romantic comedy novels, Kayley Loring got a BFA in creative writing from a Canadian university and had a fifteen-year career as a screenwriter in Los Angeles (under a different name). She mostly wrote PG-13 family comedies that studios would pay her lots of money for and then never make into movies. In 2017 she decided to move to the Pacific Northwest and write about all the fun stuff that she wasn’t allowed to write about in those PG-13 scripts. Now she’s breathing cleaner air and writing dirtier words. It’s an adjustment she’s happily getting used to.
