Grumpy and sunshine, enemies to lovers, only one bed, it's all my favourite tropes but it just didn't work for this book. Also a 4 year time skip, where we don't see how Gavin and Oliver met, which NO. Where is the progression, it felt like insta love to me lol

I have never read the previous books in the series and while I don't think it's necessary to read those, they do make a lot of appearances in this book. Yes, the siblings are close but did we really need all those moments of vow renewal, beach wedding, another baby, another wedding etc?

Also I was excited that this was a sports romance, especially soccer is sort of rare in books I've read but unfortunately it's not very prominent.

Lactose intolerance. Oliver had already taken a lactase enzyme pill and he ate only cheese, a whole lot of it but it's not like gallons of milk. It was basically just a plot device for the other MC take care of his niece.

The sex scene. You can still do a fade to black even if it's not YA or just don't write anal, as not everyone does it. Instead of "He touched me there". Please
But it also had a cock ring lmao

I also cannot understand how when Oliver has anxiety and panic attacks, he gets better when someone holds his hand or crowds him on the field. Personally I hate crowds, I hate people in my personal space let alone touching me, so I think it would be worse for someone who has anxiety but maybe I'm wrong.

Overall cannot reccomend it but I still finished the book, so yay!

3.5 rounded up to 4 for GR and NetGalley

Usually grumpy-sunshine is one of my favorite tropes! But for some reason I just didn't love Gavin in this one. I ADORED the Bergman family scenes and I hope we get a book #6!! There is a scene with Gavin and a one of Oliver's nieces that is ADORABLE! But otherwise ... I don't know about Gavin. :(

The writing is still absolutely lovely - I'm a big fan of Chloe Liese's writing style!
I loved how she brought in the rest of the Bergman clan and we get to see how their lives are doing!!
I would recommend this one if you're already a fan of the Bergmans, or if you're looking for a m2m romance (CL knows how to write spicy romance!), but otherwise it gets a "meh" and a pass from me.

Chloe Liese never disappoints. Her Bergman Brothers series is brilliant - filled with emotion, romance and laughter - and book #5 is no exception.
This is Oliver Bergman's story. If you're offended by gay relationships, this book is not for you. but I absolutely loved it. It's a classic enemies to friends to lovers story and also represents chronic pain and anxiety disorder. I can't wait for the next novel in the Bergman saga.
Thank you to Net Galley and Chloe Liese for providing me with this ARC for my honest review.

4.5 stars!!

everything for you is a ted lasso inspired romance, which is one of my all-time favorite shows, so i was really excited that such an auto-buy author was giving us her own version of roy kent. while this isn't my favorite of the bergman books (nothing will ever dethrone ren/frankie unless my manifesting works and ziggy's book is f/f) i think that chloe liese just has such a way with her characters working through their emotions that every book from her feels like a treat because of it.

Everything for You was a sweet and quick sports romance read that delivered on the wonderful queer rep, disability rep (one of the MCs deals with severe chronic pain) and neurodivergent rep (the other MC has an anxiety order and panic attacks). I absolutely loved how the story progressed and how Gavin and Oliver slowly started admitting feelings for each other (it only took them about, oh, two years), going from reluctant co-captains to confidants, lovers, and, in the end, romantic partners.
This was my first Chloe Liese book but I am excited to read more now, especially if the others deliver on such wonderful queer rep as well! I also appreciated how the book dealt with Gavin’s impending end of career – you could basically taste the fear and reluctance in his PoV chapters, and I appreciated the shift in mentality that occurred by the end of the book, noting how ending one chapter doesn’t mean the rest of the book will be dull, but how it just signals the start of another chapter, possibly even brighter and more beautiful than the last one.
If you are looking for a sweet – and steamy – MLM sports romance with an age gap (done tastefully and without imbalances of power), this book is JUST for you!

A beautiful, heartwarming novel that I’ve come to expect from Chloe Liese! Recommended for people that enjoy contemporary romance, sports romance, LGBT representation, and Ted Lasso!

Thank you to @chloe_liese and @netgalley for this ARC that I read late, but loved al the same, because it did several things all at once. One, in a series about many siblings in a big family, one is queer! Two, more Bergman sibs stories! Three, more carefully done depictions of anxiety disorders and chronic pain! And four, a lovely what if for me — Roy Kent and Ted Lasso, if he was in Jamie Tartt’s body, as a couple? Didn’t know I’d want that but I did! I’m not super into mm romance bc I like my books to feature ladies, but this was quite fun and lovely.

With that said, yes, Gavin Hayes is a queer older soccer player at the end of his career with a battered and beaten and broken body. He’s got an English accent and swears too much, he’s a secret softie, and he’s determined to be enemies with Oliver Bergman, our bisexual youngest Bergman brother. Where Gavin is emotionally stunted and a bit of a curmudgeon who’s dead set on being rude instead of kind in the face of feelings (Helloooo Mr Darcy?), Ollie is a bright color wearing people pleasing tornado with an anxiety-panic disorder in the beginning of his professional soccer career. Kind, emotionally mature, wiser than his years, and an eternal optimist — totally an opposites attract situation. And soccer!

There’s a time jump that ties up some other Bergman business loose ends that truly made me so happy (please remember that Willa and Ryder OWN MY SOUL, Rooney has my guts, and Aiden is my cosmic twin, so you can guess what loose ends might have been tied up 😍😍!)

I can’t lie, the sex was 🔥, good and dirty, intimate and deep. If that’s the selling point for you, go get it. If it’s ⚽️, go get it. If it’s Bergmans, go get it!

As usual, when I was feeling a little bit sore and bruised and lost in real life, there was a new Bergman sibs book for me to read and feel good about books again. Thanks @chloe_liese — you’re so clutch like that for me.

ALLLLLLL THE STARS.

This book was simply EVERYTHING!!! I’ve read my fair share of MM romances and Chloe Liese sincerely blows me away every single time. Her writing packs a huge punch with its humor, tension, and swoony-ness. And this book was just as incredible as her others!

This series is easily an all time favorite and this new installation in the series is just another PERFECT addition. Oliver has been a brother that I’ve been craving his book. And while I definitely didn’t think this is the direction it was going with the teammate age gap thing... it was even more perfect than I could’ve imagined or dreamed up for myself. Chloe Liese just knows what I want before even I do. She’s a pure genius.

This story had an incredible grumpy/sunshine trope. It had the angst and tension to blow the roof off the place. It had two incredible main characters who truly deserved each other and they had a love story that outdid itself.

This book was amazing and I loved it if you can’t tell. I definitely wanted to immediately reread after finishing. I was thiiiiiis close to... If you’re even a bit of a fan of Chloe Liese, this story will truly blow you away.

My favorite of the series so far.

I’ve had mixed thoughts about some of the previous books in this series, but I was so excited to see that this one was queer so I had to read it. I’m glad I did. This is definitely my favorite or the series and I think it had the strongest writing.

If you are looking for a queer, sports romance, I’d recommend checking this one out!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC!

Another charming entry in the Bergman Brothers series! Liese’s books feel like a big warm hug. The characters are always so determined to look out for one another, to make adjustments, and overall be more accommodating. It’s a dream world to visit!! And the Ted Lasso-ification was very fun and perfectly fit for Liese’s writing. Oliver and Gavin had a great love story, although I was a little disappointed we didn’t get their first meeting and initial dynamics and immediately time jumped to an established dynamic between the two. However the relationship progression was excellent and the steam was perfect,

But for real, Viggo’s book WHEN

Where to begin with this one? I loved the whole Gorgeous Grump Kladdkaka Gavin & Sunshine Funfitti cake Oliver❤️ Chapter 19 was my absolute favorite. That entire scene gave me all the feels & it was just....perfect❤️there were many scenes that I loved, like the GG coffee scene, the airplane (holding hands), and when Oliver was taking care of Gavin (shower scene). Still, my favorite of all is the love declaration scene from chapter 19.

⚽️Everything For You⚽️ Is the 5th book in the Bergman Brothers but can be read as a standalone & it's the first book I read by Chloe Liese & I know. So why did I start with the 5th book, you may ask? Cuz I never read anything in order😅 & since I'm on mm romance binge, its a priority, not to mention perfect for🏳️‍🌈month.

I can't express how I absolutely adored everything about this book, from the song choice for each chapter to the broadway musical reference❤️ having an anxiety rep told so well, as someone with anxiety & panic attacks, I felt seen😭thank you so much for writing it.

It checked all the boxes for me.
✅Plot.
✅The characters.
✅Build-up to the story.
✅The anticipation.
✅SLOOOW-BURN (OMG, chef's kiss).
✅Enemies to lovers.
✅ Grumpy/sunshine
✅mm sports romance⚽️.
✅Sexual tension.
✅Age gap (10yrs).
✅Anxiety rep.
✅Chronic pain rep.
✅Steamy (ooof🌶)
✅HEA

I don't remember the last time a book checked all the boxes & more (like how is that even possible🤯?) Chloe Liese just brought the magic into this one💖it's filled with laughter & full of emotion (I teared up at Gavin's chronic pain struggle). It's a heartfelt wholesome story. I truly recommend it if you love all the ✅ checked boxes mentioned above❤️

Altho Gavin & Oliver's Story ended, I look forward to catching up with them in the future(🤞more queer romance in the future) & I'll be definitely checking out the previous books (Not in order, of course, lol😂)

*Thank you, Chloe Liese. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley.

CHLOE LIESE DOES IT AGAIN YOU RAINBOW TROPICAL FISH INSERT MORE LESLIE KNOPE COMPLIMENTS HERE.

I think about these two dinguses all the time now and I love them and need the Bridgerton treatment on the Bergman family THANK YOU VERY MUCH

This is my first book in the series, but I really enjoyed it and wasn't confused. I love a good rivals to lovers, and they have a lot of antagonism between them to be resolved. I like the tension and I think it really worked. I am not usually a fan of age-gap, but I think it really works as one of the sources of tension for them, and it's not about power. The age-gap creates professional jealousy, which needs to be overcome if their relationship is going to work.

i loved this but age gap romances aren't really my thing which i hadn't noticed while requesting. other then that thought this was very well done! the grumpy x sunshine trope is one of my favorites so that was very fun to read about.

age gap turned me off a lot but i liked the writing style. also liked that it dealt with topics like anxiety and chronic illness.

I discovered the Bergman Brothers series last year and fell in love with Chloe Liese’s writing from the first page on. I adored all books in the series so far, and Everything for You was no exception.

So, we’re finally getting Oliver’s story. He’s on the same soccer team as Gavin, a veteran player whose end of his career is fast approaching. Gavin is the captain of the team, but Oliver gets asked to become co-captain and much to Gavin’s chagrin he accepts. 
Gavin is a rather grumpy person, and he simply can’t stand Oliver’s happy attitude. Of course they go from enemies to friends to lovers and I loved every minute of it.

I can’t recommend this book (and the whole series) enough.

Oliver and Gavin were fantastic. Their grumpy/sunny nature was so much fun to read. I appreciate how she talks about disability awareness and the characters' issues in this book. I also really like the Bergman family. They are great. Can't wait for Chloe's next book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I have really mixed thoughts on this one. I love love love Chloe's writing, and this book was no exception, I did still enjoy it. But I do think it's my least favourite in this series and didn't work as well as the others for me.

A lot of this was because I felt like we just didn't really get to see Ollie and Gavin get to know each other or work through their issues, a lot of this happened off page, and so I struggled to connect to them. Not to mention, they kept going over and over the same issue, which made the pacing feel like it was dragging a bit.

I also didn't like the abundance of weddings in the story, it was all too much too close together and too cliche - it felt a bit like a let down. I think I get frustrated when romance series' end with all the couples married and with kids straight away, and it started to feel a little bit too close to that.

This one just didn't feel as authentic to me as the other books in the series, the characters and romance weren't as fleshed out and it just wasn't the level I have come to expect from Chloe. That's not at all to say it was bad, because it wasn't by any means - the characters were likeable, the story was relatable (and some parts hit way too close to home when it came to sporting careers and injuries), and I enjoyed the read. I just wanted more, having read the previous books in the series.

Having said all that, this is still one of my favourite series of all time, I would definitely re-read this, and I am SO looking forward for the rest of the books in the series, particularly Ziggy's - a redheaded autistic obsessed with sports and fantasy villain romances? It's literally me.

To me, Chloe Liese is an absolute gem and her stories are a must read. This is a slow burn, sunshine/grump story about Gavin and Oliver. Their growth throughout the story leads excellent character growth and a beautifully written story.

There is some lovely tension. Seriously, give me an 'only one bed' trope and I'm a goner. 🔥

As always, this is a standalone but you should read the whole series.

Omg!! I love Chloe liese’s books. The Bergman series have taken over my life and I am so thankful I got to read Oliver’s story early. Everything For You is a MLM book that centers around Oliver Bergman. Oliver is a sunshine/golden retriever of a man and I don’t know if it possible to not love him. Gavin Hayes is the personification of old grump/Ted lasso in this story and he is absolutely perfect for Oliver. I gave 5 stars to this beautiful story that has ….

Enemies-to-lovers
Sunshine/grumpy
Top tier banter
Chronic pain and anxiety representation
3 out 5 on the spice barometer!

Chloe liese has shown me personally that everyone deserves a beautiful love story and to be accepted for who you are.
