My review: 3.5⭐
The conclusion to the Little Black Book series and here we follow both Alex and Ryder’s perspectives.
Alex is busy helping her bff, Chloe, plan her wedding, but is unsuccessful in securing a date to the wedding. She recently broke off an engagement and the tabloids are calling her ‘the trust fund tornado.’ Her brother, Daniel, suggests she take his bff, Ryder. Unbeknownst to Daniel, Alex has had a crush on Ryder for years and slept with him a few months ago.
Ryder has always had a thing for Alex, but she is deemed off limits. He doesn’t want to risk his business partnership or friendship with Daniel. Typical brothers best friend/best friends sister, fake dating romance, with Daniel being over the top protective, but I liked how Ryder FINALLY put him in his place.
I love that although each book follows a new couple the couples from the previous two books are involved in this installment. Alex, Chloe and Taylor are friendship goals. I really liked how Alex/Ryder and Geoffrey/Katrina eased into a new friendship seamlessly.
Honesty alert ~ this was my least favorite book in the series. It could be because the whole conclusion to who little black book was, and why they did what they did, seemed a little lackluster to me. I never got a curvy vibe either.
This was a quick and easy read and I’ll be ready for Karen’s next book.

This socialite left her fiancé at the altar and now she needs a fake date to a wedding! What could go wrong? Find out in the third Little Black Book of Secrets novel by Karen Booth!
It started with one simple request:
“Pretend to like me for three days.”
Canceling her own million-dollar wedding made socialite Alexandra Gold infamous. Now the only way to avoid going alone to the wedding of this season—and keep vicious gossip account Little Black Book of Secrets quiet—is to bring a fake date. The almost-perfect candidate: architect Ryder Carson, her brother’s best friend. Ryder’s off-limits, yet tempting, despite their recent history. And as the celebration heats up, so do the sparks. But is it only a matter of time before Little Black Book reveals their secret?
