Ever After Always
By Chloe Liese
🎧 Narrated by: Nelson Hobbs, CJ Bloom 
Series: Bergman Brothers, Book 3
Book 32 of 2024

**series info**

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!

**book review**

I thought this was a beautiful romance about a marriage in crisis. It utilized therapy well, and really showed how two people could love each other and still not understand how to show love to each other as time went on. 

Aiden’s anxiety representation I thought was well done, and Liese showed the way an anxious brain can catastrophize situations. I don’t remember depictions of panic attacks, if that’s something you’re sensitive too!

🎧 Duo Nelson Hobbs and CJ Bloom continue to do fantastic work narrating the Bergman brothers. The books are well suited to audio format, with very natural sounding dialogue and descriptions.

The TikTok sensation, now with new exclusive content!

A marriage-in-crisis rekindles its passion in this second chance romance about going the distance to make love last.

Freya Bergman has spent a dozen years loving Aiden and never thought they’d find their marriage on the rocks. He’s her partner and best friend, the person she knows she can count on most. Until one day Freya realizes the man she married is nowhere to be found. Now Aiden is quiet and withdrawn, and as the months wear on, the growing distance between them becomes too much to bear.

Aiden would spend a dozen lifetimes making his wife happy. But the one thing that will make her happiest is the one thing he’s not sure he can give a baby. With the pressure of providing and planning for a family, his anxiety is at an all-time high. They’re drifting apart and he doesn’t know how to change the tide.  

As if weathering marriage counseling wasn’t enough, Freya and Aiden are thrown together for a Bergman family island getaway. Will this trip help them finally work through their trouble in paradise, or be the final wave that tows them under?
