The beginning of this book when I first started reading reading reminded me of the movie Pretty Woman except in this day and age. It was unusual how Sebastian Black led his life.Roz was a girl who had to grow up to fast and put her happiness on the back burner to take care of her brother and grandma after tragedy struck her at a young age. She tried to make that best of what she could but when her grandma died she had to make changes that she wasn't sure she knew how to. She needed a job, a place for her and her brother to live, and also try to make sure that her brother didn't have to worry so much. She had one friend that could help her and she did. She got Roz a job at the same place she worked. What Roz didn't know was that the job would lead to life changing decisions.Sebastian Black was a troubled man. He had a rough start to life and he didn't do emotions or feeling at all. He kept a black book with names of women he could go to at anytime to fulfill his needs. He never asked them their names he only referred to them by names that he would make up for them. This was working fine for him until one day he saw a woman that he would refer to as Jessica Rabbit. This is when he life would change and he was never the same again.When Sebastian saw Roz working in his club he knew he had to have her but he never mixed business and pleasure so he had to fire her. She wasn't happy about this but he a proposal for her that he thought she couldn't refuse. Roz was not happy about getting fired and even less happy about Sebastian's proposal. But when circumstances changed, she had to take him up on his offer. Sebastian didn't want to know Roz's name so he just called her Jessica, for he thought she was his Jessica Rabbit. As time went on, Sebastian started changing. He couldn't understand at first but things started to happen and he started to embrace it. That is until one day his past caught up with him.What happened in Sebastian's past that changed things between him and Roz? Did he ever ask her for her real name? What was it that he proposed to Roz that would change her life? The things that happen between these two very different people is one of learning forgiveness.I would recommend this to my friends.~ Lisa The Book Nuts
