This is my third Roni Loren books and I haven't been disappointed yet. Her books have a way of being steamy but also the plot doesn't get lost. I love recognizing characters from her other books so I can keep tabs on them as well :D. Her books are so quick and entertaining to read and For You & No One Else was no exception!

This is probably my least favorite of the series but I still really enjoyed it. I like how Roni Loren writes complicated characters going through difficult times but Beckham’s story felt like it needed more. When someone from his past arrives, it’s near the end of the story and wrapped up nicely (god, I hope Jess gets a HEA!). Religious trauma is worth a lot more pages in my opinion. I suppose he “dealt with” it off page, before he met Eliza, but I would have liked him to talk to her about it sooner.

The age gap in this story was quite small (mid 20s & early 30s), I don’t know why Eliza kept bringing it up as if he was just a baby and she was a great grandma when they were pretty close in age and maturity. I didn’t think Eliza really gave her no phone experiment a real chance because she folded into Beckham so easily, what about just doing activities on your own? As a therapist who brings up her age as “old” all the time, I’d think she’d have more ideas for how to spend time away from social media.

I’ll be looking for another Roni Loren book to devour soon, an author really good at delivering a story with both emotional depth AND great smut.

Love love love Roni Loren and this release! I was lucky enough to enjoy this ebook and was granted the audio from Libro.fm.

Such a great story and I can’t wait for he ready release’

Both alone on Christmas, Eliza and Beck strike up a friendship while neither was looking for it. I liked how a reluctant friendship turned into them being able to do and say things around each other they may not have with other people. They had wonderful chemistry as friends, so it was easy to root for them to turn it into more.

As much as I liked Beck, it was difficult for me to read about Eliza’s struggles and have him push her to meet his needs rather than meeting somewhere they could both be happy. His complicated past meant she needed to settle for less than she deserved, and I did not want her to. Just as I was starting to settle into the book and their relationship, Eliza and Beck hit a predictable bump and then it wrapped up almost too neatly. It was a somewhat abrupt ending.

While there were moments that made me laugh and those that were heartfelt, I needed a more solid ending to give it the 4 stars I was hoping it would be. (3.5 stars rounded to 4 stars)

Roni Loren's "For You & No One Else" is a heartwarming and engaging romance novel that will resonate with readers who are looking to find their true selves. Eliza's character is relatable and realistic, and readers will root for her as she confronts her fears and learns to embrace the imperfections that make her who she is. Beck's character is equally compelling, and the chemistry between the two leads is electric.

Loren's writing style is engaging and easy to read, and she does an excellent job of weaving together the various elements of the story. The themes of self-discovery and authenticity are explored in a way that feels organic and genuine, and the romance is sweet and satisfying.

Overall, "For You & No One Else" is a delightful and uplifting romance novel that will leave readers feeling happy and hopeful. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a feel-good read that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Ich fand es okay. Es konnte mich leider weniger begeistern. Vielleicht war ich einfach nicht in der richtigen Stimmung.

Roni Loren has a knack for writing real, relatable characters with issues to work through. While there are some issues, there is also growth, healing, and a strong connection formed between the main characters.

Eliza and Beck had so much chemistry even when they were professing they just wanted to be friends. It was easy to see their connection went far past just physical attraction, though. I loved how they opened up to one another and how straightforward their communication often was.

For You & No One Else and the entire Say Everything series are wonderful reads. I can't recommend this series enough!

Perfect addition to the series!

Roni creates such endearing characters everything about them is so well done. The relationship between the two MCs may be the strongest of the series which is saying something. Their communication style is something rarely seen in romance these days and it was beyond refreshing. More open communication please!

The depth and humour was also fantastically balanced.

The rep in general was out of this world and I cannot wait to read what Loren does next!

I really enjoyed this story. Roni Loren knows how to make relatable characters and give them a great story. The romance was believable and pretty steamy too! Both Eliza and Beck have some heavy emotional baggage, and I enjoyed watching them both work through their issues. They supported each other and complimented each other’s personalities. I always like it when a couple becomes or are friends first, and this is the case in this book. They really enjoy each other’s company, and the attractions come later. As an animal lover, I especially enjoyed their trip to the local animal shelter together.

I picked this one up thinking it would be good for a book discussion, but ultimately, I don't think there's quite enough depth for discussion

I took my sweet time getting to this last book despite devouring the first too. I love how this series is very different from other rom coms I've read, it's playful and awkward and mostly feels realistic. The characters are flawed but have a huge heart. Didn't love this last one as much as the others, but I very much enjoyed seeing these characters grow and evolve together.

I was sad to read the last book in this series because I’ve loved them all so much. Once again, the mental health representation was amazing and handled in a sensitive and realistic way. The author manages to write characters who are struggling in one or more aspects of their lives but are thriving in others and makes us fall for them, flaws and all. I loved the witty banter and level of emotional depth shown between Eliza and Beck.

But that epilogue! It was what my heart needed to end the series in a perfect way.

If you haven’t read this series I urge you to add it to your TBR. This series has made me laugh, cry, and swoon.

Roni Loren has this intangible gift of catching your attention from page one, pulverizing your heart only to stitch it back together just when you think you’ll never recover- only you do recover and can’t wait to take the thrill ride again.

Roni Loren does it again with book #3 in the Say Anything series. This isn't your average romance novel - the MCs build a friendship first and both are very complex characters dealing with heavy issues. You can't not fall in love with both Eliza and Beckham, along with their scene-stealing cat, Trent.

Thank you SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for the copy to review.

Roni Loren is one of my favs, so I was thrilled to receive a copy of For You & No One Else and to have a chance to return to the world of the Say Everything series. Eliza and Beck's story might be the best yet!

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me. All thoughts are my own.

I love this series and I actually think this one is my favorite! Eliza wakes up Christmas morning feeling completely sad and alone. She should be able to get herself out of this funk. She is a therapist after all but sometimes it’s just not that easy. She decides to head into her workspace and finds Beck there. They don’t usually socialize but for some reason the loneliness gets to her and a friendship is born.

There was a lot that surprised me about this one, which doesn’t happen a lot with romance so I have to say go into this one blind but I absolutely loved the two of them, loved that we were able to revisit friends from the past novels and this has a phenomenal epilogue.
.
Huge thank you to #sourcebookscasa and #NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Roni Loren has created some of my most favorite series ever.
Her compassionate characters are amazing.
I feel her social work background coming through in each book and teaching all of us how to be better humans.
THANK YOU

Roni Loren writes like no-one else. I loved the fact that this book seemed to seemingly mix into the rest of the series so we had visits from familiar characters. As someone who has read a lot of bully romances, it was so refreshing to have something so non toxic and just sweet. I think this is one of my favorite reads of the year. This book just brought me so much joy and I will definitely be rereading.

Gosh I just love this series! I love hearing about Andi and Hollyn’s lives intermixed within Eliza and Beckham’s love story. Eli and Beck are two different people with pasts that definitely are dictating the way they both feel about love and marriage. There is plenty of miscommunication throughout the novel, but I also appreciated how real they both were about their intentions in the beginning. This friends with benefits thing really got complicated didn’t it! As always, Roni Loren adds some humor into her books and I loved the little quirks, especially with Mabel the pup and Trent the cat. For You and No One Else also tackles some more serious topics like childhood trauma and how it shapes adult life. The epilogue was probably my favorite (and least favorite) part of all. I loved getting to hear about what all of the characters were up to years later, but this also made me feel like it was the last book in the series which just made be sad because I loved it!

This was a great contemporary book, that I would definitely recommend!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
