Publisher's summary

He's got everything but game.

William Drake is an artistic genius with a photographic memory and the intensity to master practically any task. Oh, and he owns a chunk of a billion-dollar gaming company. A 26-year-old guy with his wealth, talent, and good looks shouldn't have problems winning over women. Except he does. To be exact - and detail-obsessed William is always exact - he's got problems with Jenna Kovac, the troubled beauty who has his heart working overtime and his tongue tied in knots.

And she can't afford to lose.

Jenna Kovac is a survivor. When war ripped her world apart, she lost her family, her homeland, and her one true love. She's made a new life for herself in the US, but she's learned that nothing is permanent, and some nights it's not even safe to dream. When a scumbag sells her future out from under her, suddenly the only man who can get it back is William Drake, geeky - but scorching-hot - social disaster. William must learn to stay cool under pressure for the all-important duel he's about to fight. Unless she can teach him to loosen up, she'll lose everything. Again.

But Jenna's got a few things to learn from this irresistibly enigmatic man. As they spend time together, they're soon exchanging long, slow kisses - and painful secrets. There's so much more to William.

Something that might be worth taking one more risk.

Good job.

Good job depicting Aspergers. Plus loved her tolerance and compassion for him. Glad they went to Bosnia.

Hello Sir William!!!

I just finished this book and was disappointed with no epilogue but was pleasantly surprised that finally I had read a romance novel that was not like the usually lead male and was not surprised that I could want a mam like that.
Autism spectrum is not reason for romance and love not to make for a good love story.
I feel like we need to be as open to love and look inside of a person and not follow a set of social regulations to guide our heart.
worth a credit; in this audible fanatic mind was a yes hands down.

Great Series

I really enjoyed this book and I loved this series. I would actually like to see another book about William and Jenna. Jenna kind of got on my nerves sometimes but overall most certainly worth a credit.

Outstanding Story & Narration🎧Gripping & Heartfelt

This book wowed me like no other, it is an original story that is beautifully told and written. I have been loving this series and book may be my favorite so far, ok, I said that after each book so maybe it is a tie but this one definitely touched another place in my heart. This is William Drake and Jenna Kovac’s story, the story grabbed my attention right away and captivated it straight to the end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. William is a character I will not forget anytime soon, he has a brilliant mind in many ways, but he lacks social skills, his ability to understand things figuratively is outside his realm, he is cut and dry and to the point. He has a huge crush on Jenna Kovac, they both share the same love for period re-enactment and are in the same circle of people. William finds his in with her, he wants to come to her rescue, help her get back something that is precious to her. Jenna, came to the US as a young girl, her father sent her away from her war torn country. Her troubled childhood left her with issues, she is a little bit broken and suffers from PTSD. When William offers to help her she reciprocates and tells him she will help him get over his fear of crowds. I thought these two were great together, perfect for each other. She was so patient with him, understanding he did not always get certain sayings, she explained it to him without judgement or ridicule. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is beautifully plotted and there is never a dull moment, there is drama, a touch of angst, a whole lot of heartfelt and emotional moments and a slow burn romance. Brenna Aubry, thank you for this outstanding novel!

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Jason Clarke and Kirsten Leigh are the perfect cast to bring these characters to life. They give each character their own distinct voice making it easy to follow along and know who is who. Their portrayal of the characters is spot on, they performed each role with perfection, completely grasping their characters persona, capturing all their emotions and projecting them into their performance. I adored Jason Clarke’s take on William, he played that role perfectly, Kirsten Leigh’s Jenna was awesome too. These two are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

In love with these beautiful souls

Wow.... Brenna has addressed and beautifully written this book in a way that helps readers understand and glimpse into the essence of a person who isn’t neuro-typical (asbergers). She goes beyond the face of Liam (Will] and into the real him. I didn’t think I could love another couple as much as Adam and Mia, but, Liam and Jenna proved me wrong. Their love story is much sweeter than the previous couples but so much more depth to it. Jenna and Will (as Jenna calls Liam) have a connection that no one else understands and I love how in unfolds. Liam is a strong, gentle, loyal hunk who falls for Jenna, broken but strong, empathetic and beautiful inside and out. Liam gets to play hero to her damsel in distress, and I seriously swooned over him. Jason Clarke, now I understand what you meant in your interview about this series. I honestly can’t imagine anyone else voicing Liam.
Brenna doesn’t skimp on details, making the reader invested 100% into this world she created. Could this book have been trimmed down a bit? sure. There was some repetition to the theme, but that’s pretty consistent with all romance novels. There isn’t anything I would change about this book except to have more Liam and Jenna. I hope that Brenna gives this sweet couple another book! Until then I will continue binging the rest of this series.

Sweet and loved that the main character was not your typical

I loved that this book was so different from your typical romance but still had all of the qualities as well as a HEA. The narrators were good and helped bring more realistic qualities to the characters voicing.

sweet

I really enjoyed this book. It's a rare woman who will make the effort to connect with her man.

Amazing Story, Fantastic Narration

If you love books with neurodiverse characters, For The One is a must add to your TBR. Can be read as a completed stand alone. Jenna and William were both so unique and complicated I couldn't put this book down.

Let's start with William, a 26 year old virgin with Autism and an infatuation with a beautiful woman, Jenna. William shows a lot of growth in this book, and he truly is a knight in shining armor and Jenna's real life hero. He struggles with his anxiety as Jenna tries to teach him coping strategies to help him when he is overwhelmed or routines are broken.

Jenna has one of the most interesting back stories of any character I have ever read. She is a refugee from Bosnia-Herzegovena and came to the United States when she was 5. She has her own trauma and PTSD from her experiences growing up in a war zone and then coming to the US. There were times however where Jenna made me very angry. She could be just as rigid and unmoving as William, but didn't see that behavior in herself. When William would call her out on it, she would get angry and walk away, which I found very frustrating. Overall I really enjoyed her character but there were moments when I thought "I don't like you very much right now".

This is my second (but no where near my last) Breann Aubrey book and she has to be a SoCal girl, because I am loving all these LA and OC landmarks in her books. One of my favorite chapters included a trip to Disneyland, and it was so realistic and relatable I was moved to tears.

Jason Clarke and Kristen Leigh are a great team once again. Jason found an especially good balance between sounding stoic without sounding robotic and still bringing depth and emotion to his performance of William.

This book is an absolute must read!! I can't recommend it enough!!

Will❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I received a copy for an honest review. Let me start with the narration which was excellent. Kristen Leigh is a new to me narrator and she was great. Jason Clarke was awesome as always. He portrayed William perfectly. Now on to the story. William was a great H. He was interesting and sexy without trying. I would have loved a little more detail about his black smithing. Jenna’s back story was great. Something different. She did annoy me sometimes. She was a little manipulative. But I did feel the love between them. I also loved The Renaissance Fair aspect. It was fun. Overall it was a good listen and I would recommend it. Brenna Aubrey is a new to me author and she did not disappoint.

Different

The story between William and Jenna was a little different. William suffers from Austim and does not pick up on a lot of verbs and emotional queues.

Jenna grew up in a war torn country and has experienced death and loss.

They both have a lot to learn about how to love and forgive others and themselves. It was a sweet story.
