Amber Rules: The Hollywood Rules: Book One (Volume 1)

Meet the Rules. For years, Amber Rule was the main attraction in her father’s self-help infomercials, his personal before-to-after example of how to transform your life: overweight to svelte adolescent, dependent teen to independent adult, social dork to paparazzi princess. Dooley Rule pointed out all of Amber’s failings – on camera no less – and then made it appear he’d fixed them. He used Amber to hawk his personal life coaching services and peddle his motivational books. She had no interest in the Dooley Foundation and the Rules of Attraction it hawked: Choose, Voice, Trust, Welcome. But then her father dies, leaving Amber and the rest of gossip hungry L.A. wondering what celebrity secrets her father kept. All Amber has to do to ensure her secrets are safe, earn her inheritance and return to her normal, paparazzi lacking life is improve the mental game of the biggest bad-ass in the NBA, Evan Oliver. Too bad Amber knows nothing about basketball or life coaching. Too bad Even Oliver is determined to do things his own way, especially when it comes to teaching Amber a new set of rules. "Melinda Curtis knows romance, sports and humor and she makes all three sing in Amber Rules." Eileen Rendahl, author of books such as "Don't Kill the Messenger" and "Do Me, Do My Roots."
