This writer has a reputation of writing romantic comedies and she lives up to it in this selection. In the story, Amy, who dresses up as a clown and entertains children on a local tv channel, is replaced on the show by a dancing chicken. She's bitter and upset, but meets Jake, the local veterinarian, and takes a job as secretary in his clinic. While their romance is blossoming and her pain over being upstaged by a chicken is going away, Clarence The Rooster becomes sick and is admitted into Jake's vet clinic for emergency medical care. The following morning, the Rooster has disappeared, Amy shows up at the clinic and the press learned she brought in chicken soup, and the feathers (and the puns!) begin to fly.

Some parts are toooooo funny. The main characters are endearing, the romance is pretty hot, and the humor never ends. All in all, it's a very enjoyable and quick read.
