The Bergmans are a close knit family, so you will see a lot of the previous couples and allude to their story, so I think they are best read in order. Book 1 was a 4 star for me because it had a couple of slow spots, but book 2 is one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read, so they are worth your time!

I have been impatiently waiting for Rooney & Axel’s story!! Rooney has been around since book 1, since she is Willa’s best friend. I love how much we get to see of all the Bergmans and their partners throughout the books.

My only complaint about With You Forever was that, after a a multi book build up…this was still a slow burn!!! However, Liese gave us just enough that it kept the tension high without getting repetitive or boring. I do love romances that build an emotional relationship before getting spicy, so this was an absolute joy to read. 

Something I really appreciate about Chloe Liese, especially as an own voice autistic author, is the way she writes about both mental and physical health. While sometimes conflict happens because of a character’s mental or physical health, it is treated with such kindness and empathy by their partner. The conflict often becomes about how a character’s own sense of self worth or internalized ableism is affecting their ability to trust their partner. As someone who’s physical health has changed drastically in the past few years, I find this so relatable. 

🎧 I love that all of the Bergman Brothers books are narrated by the same duo! To me, it creates continuity because the characters sound the same from book to book. 

Representation: chronic illness (IBD) & autism

Opposites attract in this heartfelt, modern marriage-of-convenience romance about finding love—and home—in the most unlikely of places.

Rooney Sullivan is sunshine incarnate and the antithesis of quiet, reserved Axel. He’s been able to hide his attraction to her until a party game gets out of hand and ends in an unexpected kiss. Months later, Rooney’s staying just next door to him for a cozy A-frame getaway and temptingly within reach.

Axel, the eldest Bergman brother, is a gorgeous grump and Rooney’s longtime crush. Their kiss was an accident, and months later, so is stumbling into him at the Bergman family’s property. Rooney’s sure her feelings are unrequited, thanks to the distance Axel keeps, so she keeps her attraction to herself.

But when Axel and Rooney unexpectedly find their paths—and problems—converging, marriage proves the perfect solution. At least, until they face a new a marriage of convenience that’s inconveniently become a love match, after all.
