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.

Read this book if you like: Friends to lovers, coworkers, age gap, friends with benefits, steamy 🔥

Eliza and Beck both have office space in a building. Eliza is a 32 year old successful therapist with a heavy online presence. She's also looking for her soulmate. When she ends up as a viral "Worst Date Ever" meme, everything in her Instagram-filtered world begins to crumble.

Enter Beckham, he's the most obnoxiously attractive man she's ever met. He works in Tech. They end up hanging out on Christmas when they have no where to go. After the internet mess happened he made her a bet to swear off social media for six months. Beck will teach her the wonders of surviving the "real world." No technology, no dating apps, no pretty filters, no BS. It seems perfect for her to lay low until her sudden infamy passes, meet some interesting new people, and maybe even curate this experience into a how I quit online dating book along the way.

I enjoyed this book. I do think the author made Beck seem very young and Eliza very old. In reality, there was only 7 years between them. They weren’t the most believable couple at first but they grew on me. I think the character development was well done. I love the side characters, especially Andi. This is was charming, funny, and steamy 🔥. I recommend it!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the gifted e-book! ❤️

The books in this series are all completely stand alone, but it’s so fun to see the crossovers and get full stories of each of the characters. For You and No One Else is about two more employees at the work station rental place, and I think their story of friends to lovers was so fun! Great emotions, power and heart!

This is the third book in the series and it just didn't work for me. I loved the first book, liked the second and unfortunately didn't care for this one.

It felt forced and unbelievable while also being predictable. Eli as a therapist doesn't really work and I really wish the characters from the other books were incorporated a bit more instead of popping up two or three times through out the story

I continue to enjoy Roni Loren's Say Anything series. I like the weaving of characters, but without it seeming contrived. Beckham and Eli are a great addition to the series, and I loved hearing about their wants and desires which were formed based on the ideas others put on them. It helped me to think about my journey and where I wish to be and what is actually important to me vs. society. I don't know which character Roni will write about next, but I know I'll be following along. This book has spice if you weren't already aware.

I have loved this series and I think Beck and Eliza were the cherry on the top. A great storyline. Eliza is a therapist who actually hasn't got her life together. She's having a hard time finding a life partner and is trying and failing to have successful dates with guys she meets online. Beck works on the same floor as Eliza and one fateful day leads them on a path neither were expecting. I love how flawed and read these 2 felt. Both have past issues some bigger than others and both have walls up but they both challenge each other to see things differently. I just couldn't put this one down. Loved it.

Roni continues to write some of my favorite romances. She has such a way of bringing all these real life struggles and hard times to the surface. I feel like I learn things while also being swooped away into a beautiful romance with these characters. I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series so far!

My toxic reading trait is that I get really excited to receive an ARC of a highly anticipated book…then don’t read it for months after it's been published. It may have something to do with fear of being let down even after really liking the previous books in the series. And this one initially seemed like it was heading in that direction.

Eliza is a therapist who is a hot mess. My initial thoughts were along the lines of “anyone reading this book who may be on the fence about seeing a therapist is going to totally be put off by this character.” You want to believe someone who is going to help you straighten things out in your life has their crap together - at least partly! Yes, I realize this is an ungracious thought. Yes, I realize this is unrealistic (no one completely has all their crap together). But believe me when I say Eliza first came across as a complete wreck.

Then the hero and heroine’s “meet cute” was cringey - in that “oh my gosh I’m so embarrassed for you” kind of way. Eliza gets flustered and awkward talking to Beckham, and the next thing you know they are off on an outing you wouldn’t normally go on with a practical stranger. But that starts the beginning of their friendship, which leads to a friends-with-benefits situation (sidenote: SO not a favorite trope of mine), which then leads to the predictable catching of feelings neither of them intended to catch.

The main thing that kept me from really liking this story is that the author did the one thing that makes me cranky every single time: hinting at things from a character’s past and not making the reveal for most of the book (it came at 89%). At least this time the situation was a doozy.

Otherwise, this story was cute and charming, with lots of humor. The characters had several layers of depth and I loved how the story played out. Even if I would have liked to learn the hero’s backstory much, much sooner.

I did a combo read and listen to this book. For the first two books in this series I read first, then listened to the audiobook. But this time, since I'm so behind on my ARC TBR, I read for a couple nights, listened on an eight hour drive, and finished up reading when I got home. The narrator, Desiree Ketchum (who has done all three books), is very good.

So, my sincerest apologies to Roni Loren. For You & No One Else didn’t disappoint. One of these days I’ll learn to push through my apprehensions!
