Courtney Andrews is not ready to give up on finding the right man but she's pretty discouraged. So she doesn't think much of the gift her cousin, Sonya, gives, on the eve of her wedding, to Courtney. Her little black book. Courtney knows that she and her cousin have different tastes in men but hey, her cousin is the one getting married and she's still a bridesmaid. So maybe a cue from her favorite family member won't hurt.
Except all she gets from the little black book are some pretty awful dates. But then she meets Lake Mastersβno thanks to that little black book.
Lake Masters is a successful business consultantβsmart, handsome, and wealthy. He's the last of the Masters brothers to remain unwed, not that he wants for female company. It's just that he's not found the one who is worthy of long-term consideration, and he doesn't appreciate the help of his well-meaning family in trying to find her. When he meets Courtney, the romance begins heating up. The road to bliss for Courtney and Lake has a few bumps along the way, much of them caused by family. Will they overcome all the family drama to find a love of their own?
Brenda Jackson gives another enjoyable read in HER LITTLE BLACK BOOK. This romance takes on family dynamicsβthe consequences of one's choices and the impact of them on familyβand delivers a sassy, fast-paced read. I would have liked to get to know Lake better but getting only a few details about his life was consistent with his character as a very buttoned up, private individual. Beyond that, Lake and Courtney's romance as well as the other love matches in this story made for a satisfying read.
It's less than a week
before Sonya Morrison's wedding when she decides to
pass her legendary little black book on to
her cousin
Courtney Andrews along with all of her best
wishes. Courtney,
who's fast approaching thirty, thinks every woman she
knows has
somehow met a man who is husband material except for
her. So Sonya's little black book seems to be just
what she
needs. That's until Courtney discovers she and her
cousin
have completely different tastes when it comes to
men.
But
just when she is about to give up and toss the
infamous little black book into the garbage, she
meets Lake
Masters. Nearly ten years her senior, he's a lot older
than the
men she's normally attracted to, but he's handsome, intelligent,
wealthy, and a man who is determined to sweep her off her
feet. But the road to love is never easy and Courtney
may find
that her little black book is more a curse than a
blessing.
