Synopsis:
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 twenty-six 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…

Review:
The Gaming The System series by Brenna Aubrey has been such a delightful reading escape! With every new addition, I fell even more in love with the author's characters and writing style. The first three installments are about Mia & Adam, the fourth one follows April and Jordan and For the One is about Jenna and William. If you are looking for a great NA series, I highly recommend this one!
Brenna Aubrey always delivers a beautiful story filled with many intense, passionate, emotional and heart-melting moments. Each of her characters are unique in their own way and Jenna and William are no exception. From the moment that they meet, William Drake is mesmerized by Jenna Kovac. He dreams of the moment when he can claim her. He's shy in many aspects of his life, but he's about to step out of his comfort zone to conquer Jenna's heart. Life has been very difficult for Jenna. The memories from her past haunts her and she's has a difficult time getting attached to people. Until William Drake comes along. He's everything she never expected. He's a breath of fresh air in her life and she's hanging on to every moment that they share. Together they grow stronger has individuals, but has a couple as well. As days go by, Jenna and William fall hard for each other. Will Jenna be able to let go of her fears and give William a chance? For the One is a fantastic modern fairy tale with a medieval twist.
Jenna and William were amazing characters to follow. They are the kind of couple you start cheering for from the beginning of the story. Their chemistry is amazing and the moments that they created together simply heart-melting! Jenna is a confident heroine that knows exactly what she wants in life. She's a fighter and gives her all when it comes to the people that she loves. William is simply adorable! He's the perfect hero to fall in love with. He's real, honest, lovable and extremely hot! It was beautiful to see them fall in love and overcome their fears. Their love story will leave you with a smile on your face and a happy heart!
This book was filled with amazing supporting characters, which made the story even more amazing! We get to meet new ones and reunite with characters from the previous books. I loved reuniting with Mia, Adam, April and Jordan. They all shared special moments with Jenna and Williams and they are the kind of friends that will be by your side to support you and give you strength during difficult times. I loved every moment of my reading escape and I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a different kind of NA romance novel.
