She had a Window

What a funny book! I could not put it down for a minute. I picked it up one day, read a couple of paragraphs at random, and was hooked. A book that can make you laugh out loud, over and over,...well, in my estimation, that's a good book . I have recommended this book to everyone I know. Don't miss it, you will be sorry you did.Sequel! Sequel!

Realistically Funny

Getting Personal is a well written book. I haven't read a book I've enjoyed so much in such a long time. I like Monique and how she gets into trouble without trying. The parrot gives us a few good laughs too.Her mother is so much like all mothers who want the best for their children. It's how she went about it that kept me laughing all the way through.I hope we see more of Monique in the future!

Still chuckling

I enjoyed this book and hated to see that I had reached the last page of the story and am now awaiting the sequel to Getting Personal. I found myself laughing out loud when I read of all the adventures Monique got herself into. I even found myself identifying with Monique on some of her problems. This book is a must for anyone that would like to have some laughter in their life.

Laugh out loud funny.

I just loved this book! It's full of humor. The characters are brilliantly written. It's one of those books that once picked up you don't want to put it down.Monique St. Cyr is an expert dieter, or at least would be if she could just stay away from junk food. A reporter for a local tabloid, she has plans to make it as an investigative reporter, even though her present postion is the obituary writer. Still, that doesn't stop Monique looking for the big story. During this quest, she leaps head long from one problem to the next. Then to add further complications to her life, she meets Jake, a sexy cop in a uniform. Add to the cast of characters, Anne Marie, Monique's erotic romance writer mother. Anne Marie is better known to her readers as Busty Galour. She enters Monique's name into the online personals as part of her reseach for her next novel about couple who meet over the internet. A great first novel that will have you laughing out loud, truning the pages as you go!

Getting Personal a Winner

Diane Amos spins a delighful tale of Monique, a young woman with lofty goals, whose life gets more complicated at every turn. Her own hilarious blunders while trying to impress her boss that she has the makings of a star reporter, added to the antics of her loving family who keep her constantly in hot water are beginning to shatter her normally calm and positive attitude. What does all that have to do to her love life with Jake the cop? Getting Personal is the happy book we've all been waiting to read. I loved it.
