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 Masters—no
thanks to that little black book.
Lake Masters is a successful business consultant—smart,
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 dynamics—the
consequences of one's choices and the impact of them on
family—and 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.
