A sexy alpha male.  √An innocent woman.  √Cartoon character names.  √Oh, yes.  *smirks* And the Little Black Book.  √√If the blurb doesn't grab you - Well...You just didn't read it yet!!5 + 1 Deliciously Wicked STARS!!!I'll just begin by saying that if the cover of the book doesn't intrigue you... The blurb certainly will!!  I added this book to my TBR faster than you can say 'yes please'.  The first few pages of this book set the mood for the rest of the book.  And I was definitely not disappointed!!  I had a love/hate thing happening in my head about Mr. Sebastian Black.  I found I was drawn to his character and couldn't read enough about him but also repulsed about how he treated the women in his little black book.  I found me throwing my head back and silently laughing about his need to name 'his girls' cartoon characters.  For instance, he's with Wilma and Betty as the book begins.  Funny, right?!  Every girl in his book is a different name.  Jessica Rabbit is one name that will remain unused.  All until Rosslyn Harris walks into his club."Because deal or no deal, you're my Jessica... I most definitely do not call anyone else Jessica.  Only you and for a special reason."The writing is witty and classic.  Classic in the sense that we will be talking about this book for a very.  Long.  Time.  As I uncovered more and more layers of Sebastian, I found myself unable to continue the love/hate and became captivated by his charm.  As did our heroine, Rosslyn, Roz."I was shaking again, but I wasn't sure if it was my nerves or the sensations that were flying through my body at light speed.  I was losing myself in him and it had only been a matter of minutes since we'd stepped into the room."Roz is a 22 year-old virgin.  I know!  I know!  But just go with it.  I find that many authors use this... template, for lack of a better description.  And it works but I always find flaws.  The young innocent falls to the alpha without thinking twice.  But here... well you're in for a REAL treat! After propositioned from Sebastian, Roz doesn't immediately fall at his feet.  And she doesn't play the 'I'm just curious' card either.  Although she is... immensely curious.  Roz and her brother have just lost her grandmother.  And she's been left to care for her younger brother, Kyle.  So she doesn't make this choice to accept Sebastian lightly.  Only after she exhausted other avenues and find herself without a roof over her head and living with Kyle in their car."I'd failed Kyle... and there was nothing I could do to make it right."It's raw and gripping.  It works so poetically in this book.  This is made that much harder on her with the tragedy we discover that happened 12 years earlier.  More and more pieces of that puzzle evolve like the wings of a butterfly coming from its' chrysalis.  It's beautifully written.  Much care has been taken to be sure - in every way - that the reader falls for each of them.  Each of their problems and conflicts I wished to shoulder for them.  The evolvement of their relationship is unique.  And not insta-love.  It progresses in an intricate, yet effortless, way."I'm almost there with you - so close it scares the s#*t out of me.  I want to know your name, but I'm still afraid that I'll run when you tell me and running from you is the last thing I want to do."The book is told in dual POV!  And transitions between the two flawlessly.  This book has some great secondary characters.  The truly had parts to play.  They weren't just taking up space!  There are dark, twisty moment.  There are sexy, fierce moments. And the chemistry is explosive between Roz and Sebastian.  But there is never a moment that you want to quit swiping pages.  Never a time with valleys.  Only peaks!  With an exceptional epilogue that leaves your heart warmed and your smile wide!  And this Little Black Book has become a 6-star favorite for me!
