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!

Thank you Netgalley & Sourcebooks Casablanca for an eARC of For You & No One Else by Roni Loren. This was my first read by this author, and although it can be read as a stand-alone, I’ve found myself wanting to go back and read the others in the series so that I can get the full picture! While at times predictable, this was a quick, workplace-is strangers-to-friends-to-lovers trope that should give you all of the feels (LOLs and awwww).

I had such high hopes for this book because I enjoyed the previous books in this series. Unfortunately, it missed the point for me. I couldn't connect with Eliza and to be honest, for a therapist, it's hard to believe that's her profession, and the romance with Beck wasn't that great either. Anyway, I found myself wanting this to be over, which isn't the right way to read a book, of course.

Thanks Netgalley & the publisher for providing me an ARC.

Eliza is a therapist, 32 and feeling alone and ready to settle down. She looks for love on dating apps and ends up as a viral “Worst Date Ever” meme. Beck, her 25 year old office neighbor, is an internet hacker. He helps her out of her social media dating fiasco and convinces her to go tech free for six months. I loved watching their friendship, then romance, blossom. The compatibility and chemistry were perfect! Also, the pets steal the show. I’m a sucker for scene stealing pets. This one has humor, steam and depth. You will find yourself smiling, laughing and wanting to cry.

I highly recommend this entire series if you haven’t read it yet. Each book will make you laugh and cry. The characters are the type that will stay with you over time. They will endear themselves to you as you journey with them to fight through their struggles and find love.

I love this series, and I love Roni Loren!!! This was just so good - I am pretty sure that Trent was my absolute favorite LOL. But in all seriousness, this series deals with complicated emotional topics in a very clear manner, without sensationalizing, projecting, or stereotyping, and that's one of my favorite things about it. Real people aren't perfect, and so many romance novels are written as if they are - this is refreshing and I couldn't put it down.

Great ending to a great series. I loved Beck and Eliza’s story filled with love, romance, growth and rescue animals. Tenet, the dramatic rescue cat, might be one of the best supporting characters!

I absolutely adore the series! 5/5 ⭐️!!!
This book could be right away but I recommend reading the other two first because they are all wonderful! These are my favorite romance is because they incorporate emotions in life meaning into the lightness of the romance.

This was good friends to lovers story. It had sweet and heartfelt moments, funny moments, and overall entertained me. In regards to the romance, I thought the build-up was so cute. Despite not reading the other books in this series, I didn't find it deterred me that much. I am sure I would have known a bit more about certain characters if I had of read others in the series first, but this has made me want to go read the back log!

I somehow missed the other two books in this series, but when a friend of mine gave this book a GLOWING review, I knew I had to pick it up immediately. And I am so glad I did. For You and No One Else BLEW ME AWAY. Wow, this book was seriously everything I want in a romance. The romance between Eliza and Beck was beautiful and intense. I loved Beck and the journey he took her on. And their growth together. This book reminded me of the short-lived but beloved TV show Selfie the classic My Fair Lady. I will definitely be going back and reading the first two books!

Eliza Catalano has the perfect life. So what if it actually looks nothing like the story she tells online? As a therapist, it's part of her job to look like she has all the answers, right? But when Eliza ends up as a viral "Worst Date Ever" meme, everything in her Instagram-filtered world begins to crumble.

Enter the most obnoxiously attractive man she's ever met, and a bet she can't resist: if she swears off social media for six months, Beck Carter'll teach her the wonders of surviving the "real world." No technology, no dating apps, no pretty filters, no BS.

It seems like the perfect deal-she can lay low until her sudden infamy passes, meet some interesting new people, and maybe even curate this experience into a how I quit the online dating racket book along the way. But something about Beck's raw honesty speaks to Eliza in ways she never expected. She knows he's supposed to be completely hands-off...but as complex feelings grow and walls come tumbling down, rough-around-the-edges Beck may be exactly what Eliza needs to finally, truly face herself-and decide who she really wants to be.

out of the 3 books in this contemporary romance series this was my least favorite BUT that being said, i really did love it. maybe not as much as the other two but if you're in the mood to read a contemporary romance you could try picking this one up.

if you like
-friends to lovers
-work place romance
-age gap romances

this might be for you!

An enjoyable romcom with a somewhat lacklustre ending. For You & No One Else is a well written story following Eliza and Beck as we witness their steamy chemistry come to fruition. Our lead characters are fun and draw you in and overall it's a great read, slightly let down by its mediocre ending.

this was good but ultimately unforgettable. this took me an entire month to read as i kept putting it down and picking up other books, even though there wasn't anything major that i wasn't liking about this book. it just didn't grab me and is not one i will really think about much.

Book 3 in the Say Everything series is For You & No One Else! I have really enjoyed this series. Eliza and Beckham were both complex and well rounded characters.

Eliza is trying to online date like many other women her age, but when one of her dates goes wildly wrong and she ends up as a “worst date ever” meme, she recruits Beckham’s help. Beck works in cyber security and helps her fix the meme and he encourages her to detox from social media.

I enjoyed Eliza, but Beck was something else. He was extremely private because of his past life and he was fiercely protective of that. I enjoyed watching Eliza pull him out of his shell a little. I will also say this is super steamy so reader beware! 🔥🔥🥵🥵

Thank you so much to @sourcebookscasa and @roniloren for my gifted ebook. This one is on sale now!

Hmmm. Very readable, but not a standout. "For You & No One Else" is a workplace-ish, friends with benefits story that can be read as a standalone. Not a bad read, but exceptionally predictable.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an eARC for review.
