Corny Myers has a unique psychic ability; she can communicate with animals.
Corny is a hot chick with a great job that she loves. All that changed in the blink of an eye when her boss had an accident involving an oversized rubber band. She’s still a hot chick, but her boss is dead.
Steve Spears is a seasoned narcotics cop who ends up wanting to strangle Corny on a regular basis. After finding out Corny’s dream of opening a pet detective business, he decides he doesn’t want a girlfriend who routinely puts herself in danger. That’s his job!
Corny misses Steve, but she’s getting on with her life. She decides to get a month’s worth of dating out of the way in a single night, by combining her three favorite things—men, food, and alcohol.
Steve’s big gun and cop’s intuition saves Corny’s life, but not from another trip to the emergency room. He makes Corny promise never to get hurt again—she agreed, but has her fingers crossed behind her back.
Excerpt
I raised my salty-rimmed margarita, "Let's make a toast to Mr. Langfield; he was kind, kooky, and had poor taste in women."
"Here, here. God bless the silly romantic fool," Kitty cheered and twirled her hair around her finger.
"I second that," Brenda clinked her glass to ours and munched on chips and salsa.
After a sip from my drink my sexy-guy radar started to beep. I did a quick scan of the restaurant and spotted my target. I discreetly waved my hand above my head and said, "Target acquired... target acquired." We laughed until we about peed our pants and then I leaned forward and quietly asked, "Do you think he heard me?" then giggled more. "I've seen my share of gorgeous men, but that guy is smok’n hot."
"Oh boy, is he ever," Kitty and Brenda said in unison and fanned their faces dramatically.
"He's been looking my way. I'm giving him my, 'you can buy me a drink' look."
All of a sudden Kitty rolled her eyes toward the bar and whispered, "Holy moly, he's coming this way."
Sure enough he made his way through the crowd on the dance floor towards our table. Before I hyperventilated from excitement, Kitty kicked me in the shin. "Thanks, I needed that." Kitty could be pretty levelheaded in stressful situations.

Dr. Doolittle in Spikes
Klutzy Love is the prequel to Ms. Kleve's earlier book, Flamingo Blues. In Klutzy Love, the reader learns how Corny Myers, who possesses the unique ability of speaking with animals, met her boyfriend, Steve, a Seattle Policeman. The story starts with the knucklehead son of Corny's previous boss taking over the business. When things go from bad to worse at work, Corny decides to pursue her dream of becoming a pet detective so she can both utilize her talent with animals and be her own boss.
Corny is feisty and fun and before she can do anything too ditzy, Steve is there to keep her grounded and safe. Once again, Ms. Kleve has written a fast paced, light-hearted, enjoyable story filled with very likeable characters both two-legged and four-legged.
Fabulous, Funny , Five Star!
A humorous read. At times, I laughed so hard I couldn't see the page. Corny, the heroine, is fun-loving, witty, and can talk to animals. A charming quality I enjoyed about the story. Steve is a handsome and noble narcotics cop who genuinly cares for Corny. Well rounded characters, even Pete, the ferret, had a personality all his own. A somewhat spicy story with elements of suspense skillfully woven in. Five Stars!
Klutzy Love
Klutzy Love is witty and fast paced. Corny Myers pursues her lifelong dream of becoming a Pet Detective, while an unexpected romance blossoms with a Narcotics Detective. Throw in a prankster ferret and you have the perfect recipe for an entertaining read. I highly recommend this book, it will leave you smiling.
