About the author
Diane Amos
11 booksThe thought of writing a book never entered my mind until a friend mentioned she was writing a romance and belonged to the Maine Chapter of the Romance Writers of America. I accompanied her to a meeting, and I was hooked. Undaunted, to me, writing a book was simply stringing together sentences to form paragraphs, arranging the paragraphs into scenes, then placing the scenes into chapters. If I wrote enough chapters-viola, I had a book.
Little did I know!
Finally, nine books and seven years later I received "The Call" at 10:11 AM on October16th, 2002. The editor of Five Star wanted to discuss my book! The rest is history.
I live in a small town north of Portland, Maine with my husband, Dave. We have four grown children, four grandsons and two granddaughters. I operate an art studio in my home where I teach both children and adults. Many of my adult students have taken classes from me for years and have become great friends. We have so much fun in class, at times, I wonder whether I should be paying them. I hope they don't read this bio.
I'm an established Maine artist. My paintings are in private collections across the United States. When I'm not writing or painting, I'd like to say I'm either racking up miles on my exercise bike or jogging in a marathon-sounds impressive, but don't believe it. I know that exercise is good for me, but why can't it be as much fun as it looks on the television infomercials that persuade us to buy their torturous machines?
I enjoy spending time with my family at our camp on a small Maine pond or watching television-I confess I'm a reality show addict-what better place to find characters for my books!
I've been married for over thirty-five years to my real-life hero, a man who's supported and encouraged me over the years and still puts a smile on my face.

a prequel of an story, that seems to start at a wrong way.
Monique was cheated by her boyfriend and end up bankrupt.
a short story how all happened and the decision she takes to overtake this miserable situation.

Okay, maybe I am the minority but I liked this book or prequel and I have definitely added Getting Personal to my TBR book. I want to see more about Monique and her mother whom I absolutely loved.. (Come on she said the word COCK in a book) and I want to see if the book has anything to do with the scam artist of a prick that she met and fell in "like" with. There were two stories but, I got each one and I think that they led me in the direction of the next book. Looking forward to reading the next book.

This book was actually two incomplete stories. It starts off with Jeannine freaking out because her mother wrote an erotic novel and asked her to help edit it. Then it skips to Jeannine getting scammed by a guy she was dating. Neither story really finishes and the two stories don't connect in any way. She does mention in the first part about the mother's book that she is publishing it as an e-book and anyone can publish an e-book. I guess this is proof. :(

I thought prequels were supposed to gear you to get excited about the book... This was depressing.

Good read
Asking for a review before I even got to read much of the book. I really have no opinion yet.
