Oh my god! This book had me at Hello, or I should say As soon as I read the name of the book. "Little Black Book"  Then The Blurb. Please, I had the feeling this book was going to be WOW! YaY! AWESOME!I did enjoy the first chapters but along the magic path I was walking, something changed and the whole "Little Black Book" was lost somewhere. And I missed it. Because It got lost pretty soon.Definition of "Little Black Book" :  a book containing the names and addresses of acquaintances who are potential dates, usually put together by men and women.  So yeah I was expecting lots of chapters where Mr. Black and his Black book were inseparables, until he met THE ONE and even though knowing he met the one, he would used the black book. I expected that.Instead I got this < < < < Spoiler Alert stars > > > > >  The book was used at the start and maybe you hear about it a few times because Mr. Black was stressed out.  As soon as He meets "Jessica Rabbit" Rosslyn Harris (Yes, Mr. Black names his acquaintances like cartoons characters.) The book is no longer the main character here.  The story had potential and It was Good. It could have been great, but a lot of things annoyed me. The Biggest one was:  We discovered at 80%  that Rosslyn parents were murder by crazy Vick  Yes, Sebastian's Foster sister. And wait Sebastian was there. Didn't stop the murder. Just covered it. On top of that, Sebastian's Laptop's password is "Harris" ( Rosslyn last name ), His Safe combination is 021201 ( The date Rosslyn parents were killed ) and wait for it . . .  he kept a locket. Rosslyn's Mother's locket. HOW SICK IS ALL THAT. Because Sebastian never moved a finger to look for this family and help them. NEVER. and He realized who Rosslyn was ( remember he called her Jessica thru most of the book ) when he tells her his Laptop's password and she says "that's my last name". . .  please, but this doesn't end here. Rosslyn knows Mr. Black was involved in her parents murder and never seeks justice. She loves him and decides no to tell his little brother. I mean who cares, this guy ruined their lives. Was there when their parents were killed, but she loves him know and he has money. That's ok by Rosslyn standards? Apparently. And Vick? Sebastian says he knows her so much and never realized she was in love with him'? < < < < <  Spoiler Alert Ends > > > > >I believe something was missing  here and made me not loving this book at the end.  I can't say it's a love story per se , but Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele started that way, but Christian's crazy ways had more details and maybe made more sense.There's not a lot of drama. Not a lot of funny moments. And even though I love Sebastian Black, I didn't connect with Rosslyn. I did want to know more about Kyle.
