Her Little Black Book

November 1, 2007
Jackson ("What a Woman Wants") introduces us to soon-to-be-married Sonya Morrison and the little black book she presents to her cousin. Courtney has not met Mr. Right, but when she meets a handsome, wealthy older man, that gift from Sonya turns out to be more of a curse than a blessing.

Courtney Andrews is a single woman nearing 30, but with a legendary philanderer for a father, who can blame her for being wary? Courtneys caution prompts her cousin Sonya to give Courtney her black book a week before her wedding, hoping it will prompt her to live it up a little. Courtney ends up on date after awful date foundthrough the little black book and is just about to give up when Lake Masters walks into her life. Smooth talking, good-looking, and supremely self-confident, Lake thinks hes the answer to her dreams and plans to convince Courtney that he is. Courtney has to learn to trust her instincts and to acceptthat not every man is low-down and dirty before she can accept that maybe she and Lake are meant to be, and that maybe, for once, Sonyas black book is right. Courtneys skepticism and sympathy for her motherare nicely balanced with sexy Lake andsassy Sonya in Jacksonscandid yet still traditional romance.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
