Everything for You is a fantastic addition to Chloe Liese's Bergman Brothers series. It is emotional, sweet, funny, and full of great Bergman family moments.

Oliver is charming, kind, and the sunshine to Gavin's grumpy and standoffish personality. They play for the same team but have never been friends despite being neighbors too. Everything begins to shift when they are named co-captains. The pacing and relationship development were excellent. There's a bit of push and pull but not too much and it makes sense for what Oliver and Gavin's experiences and concerns were.

I love Chloe's writing style. It flows so well and is descriptive but doesn't tell vs show. There's a great blend of humor and more serious moments, and she has a knack for creating complex, interesting, and loveable characters. If you've read previous books in the series you will love getting to catch up with the Bergman family, too. I cannot wait for the next two books!

I have no words to describe how I feel after reading this book. I love this fictional “imperfect” family because each one of them is perfectly perfect in their own way.

So many characters and interaction and love pour out of this book. One thing that remains untainted is the personal mark of the author’s writing. I think I would never get over it and wouldn’t want to lose it either.

Through so much pain and heartbreak, she always shows that love wins, no matter what.

The support these characters have from the other members of the family is amazing and there are quite a few hilarious scenes.

Oh, and the chemistry between them? Catches fire with a small spark in seconds.

A must read romance story.

Chloe Liese is at it again with her Bergman Series! Everything For You follows Oliver as he deals with Gavin, his grumpy co-captain of their soccer team, who also happens to be his neighbor!

I loved all the Ted Lasso vibes I got from this story. Honestly, if you love Roy Kent you will fall in love with Gavin. Gavin and Ollie were the best sunshine/grumpy duo!

It was so nice to revisit the Bergman clan and what they have been up to. I loved all the babies and weddings we got to witness. As much as I love Ollie and Gavin, the icing on the cake was getting to revisit my fav fictional family!

This was such a quick and enjoyable read and I’m so grateful to have been given an arc in exchange for my honest review.

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything For You by Chloe Liese

*fanning my tears away* This book was incredible. I absolutely loved Oliver and Gavin's story. The chemistry between them was tangible through the pages, them pinning over each other, but also bantering and arguing was over-the-moon adorable, and the perfect kind of enemies to lovers.

CW: panic attacks, anxiety, death of loved one (past), queer phobia, grief, chronic pain, injury during a game.

I love how Chloe writes beauty through the pain. I love how she takes the agony the characters are going through and showing the sunshine in the cracks. How the cracks ARE beautiful and bring happiness. I loved how observant they both were to the other, even at the beginning. Slowly learning each other and then growing closer. The scenes where Oliver was taking care of Gavin were so soft and I adored it.

I loved how good of a person Oliver was. We often see in books characters that are amazing partners, but we not often see them being generous and kind to others. Oliver bringing Swedish baked goods to his colleagues, making them feel seen and cherished in a simple but thoughtful way was delectable.

I really loved the little glimpse we got of the Bergman families, Willa and Ryder a little more grown up. The scene between her and Oliver had my heart glowing and teary-eyed.

There's so much sweetness to this book, so many small moments that make a world of difference.

Thank you again Chloe for the advanced reader's copy through Netgalley. As always, all thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

Chloe Liese (of course) does it again! I love this series so so much. A definite auto-buy for me forever and always.

This was the first non-heterosexual book in this series and there were so many things I loved. The Ted Lasso vibes were so there, which was amazing. The time jump was perfect for this book so we got to see more of the couples we've already fallen in love with. As always, the disability and anxiety representation was done perfectly.

Not to mention how beautifully and unapologetically queer this book was. Gavin and Oliver are so tender with each other and the intimacy was so wonderfully written. The character growth... Gavin when he finally showed vulnerability and how Oliver just loved him for every part of him. The perfect grumpy sunshine of these two humans, and of course everyone loves the only one-bed trope. Plus you gotta love them being back at the A-Frame aka where all the couples finally get together and confess their love.

My only criticism is not a real one... we're running out of family members so there are only two books left!

Thank you to Chloe Liese and NetGalley for access to this e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I'm going to just go ahead and call it - this is going to be one of my favorite books of '22. I was hooked from the first page and couldn't put it down. Unfortunately that meant I was reading on my phone at work and ended up working late a couple nights so I could catch up on the stuff I didn't get done while I was reading, but totally worth it! Ever After Always was solidly my favorite of the Berman Brothers books, and a top read of 2020, but Oliver's story has stolen the throne.

This book has so many things going for it! It is an mm enemies to lovers sports romance with a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, and good mental health/anxiety rep as well as chronic pain rep.

Sometimes the hardest reviews to write are the books I loved the most, and that is absolutely the case here - I'm at a loss as to what to say. Ollie and Gavin's story was fun and heartwarming and tear inducing and truly evoked ALL the feels! I was beyond excited for Ollie's book, and it absolutely did not disappoint. These guys have my heart!

If you haven't read the previous books in the Bergman Brothers Series, you should. Not just because they're wonderful (they are), but the Bergman family is large, and if you aren't already familiar with them, keeping everyone straight could get confusing. I've said before, this family has ensnared me much the same way that Penny Reid's Winston Brothers did, so I was excited to catch up with everyone!

I'm out of stuff to say, just read the book!

Chloe is a gift to us. Her books (and I do mean every single one) are GIFTS. I'm obsessed. I'm in love.

It's no secret that I love Chloe Liese's Bergman Brothers series. As I read each new book, I can't help but feel sad that we are slowly and inevitably coming to the end of the series. This book was incredibly sweet. With a grumpy-sunshine enemies to lovers storyline, we are treated to the budding romance between Oliver, a rising soccer star who suffers from anxiety and Gavin, who is reaching the end of his soccer career due to chronic pain.

I have nothing more to say on this one except it's another great novel to add to the series. I can't wait for the next book Chloe!

For all of you missing Ted Lasso, like me, look no further than this book. I have been so excited about this book, ever since Oliver’s larger introduction in Rooney and Axel’s book. When Chloe said this story would take on Ted Lasso vibes, with a grumpy Roy Kent, I was absolutely sold (lolz, like I wouldn’t have been either way).
Chloe absolutely nailed the grumpy/sunshine trope. As she does with all of her books, she eloquently addresses physical and mental illnesses. Gavin’s body is failing him after pushing it to the extreme through years of soccer. Oliver’s anxiety and coming to terms with his mental health. What I love about Chloe’s characters in the Bergman series, is they feel so real. You can truly relate to so many of her characters because they deal with the same issues you and I deal with. I only wish we got peel back more of Gavin’s layers and dive deeper into his background. I wanted more of the team too, the scenes we saw with them, they exuded AFC Richmond ❤️

Oh boy, was this worth it. I absolutely LOVED this book. This book is an MM romance between Oliver, the youngest Bergman brother, and his grumpy co-captain, Gavin. Their antagonism of each other turns so sweetly into some strong feelings and I ate it RIGHT up. Chloe’s writing is great – per usual – and the slow burn is spectacular. This was easily my favorite of the Bergman books, and this couple will stay on my mind for quite some time.

With each Bergman book, I fall more in love with the family and this one was no exception. In addition to Gavin and Oliver’s story, I adored the glimpses into the Bergman sibling. and significant others families. Babies and weddings and so much love.

Gavin and Oliver were such a delight to read and their grumpy/sunshine goodness was just perfection. Chloe once again gave us a wonderful love story that filled my heart with so much joy.

EFY has all the rivals to lovers, I hate that I want you, only one bed, bisexual/gay, anxiety rep perfection wrapped up in its pages and I adore it.

I've got a lot of (mostly positive) thoughts about this one, so many thoughts that it detracted from my reading experience. However, this is still head and shoulders above most of the books I've read this year. Liese has such a distinctive voice, creating these authentic characters who have real struggles and conflicts. That's what makes this such a unique series, and I'm always excited to read the newest installment. I loved both of these characters, and the grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract dynamic was a major win. I also loved how well these characters understood each other, and that made it a fulfilling read. There's so much to love about this one-of-a-kind romance that I hate that I can't give it a full 5-star rating, but there were definitely things that pulled me out of the story (more on that in a minute).

The story follows Oliver and Gavin, pro soccer players who have been teammates for the last two years. They've never gotten along, but the attraction that sparks between them is undeniable - even if they believe it's one-sided. Oliver (24) has looked up to former superstar Gavin (34) since he was young. Now a rising soccer star himself, Oliver's career is just hitting its peak while Gavin's is rapidly coming to a close. Gavin's body is giving out on him, but he continues to push it to its limits because he's not ready to end his career. When Oliver is promoted to Gavin's co-captain, it puts additional strain on their already-contentious relationship. But teaming up and finally acknowledging the things they've been keeping inside changes the whole dynamic between them.

As someone who doesn't typically read MM romances, I was both looking forward to this and also a bit wary. It was very easy to relate to both Gavin and Oliver - they're complex characters with such lovable personalities (even the grumpy Gavin). Their chemistry was also EXCELLENT, and there's some serious steam in this one. The MM aspect distracted me though, because Liese is known for her OwnVoices romances, and... that's clearly not something she's familiar with firsthand. I was curious to see how she would tackle it. This is also her love letter to Ted Lasso, and IT SHOWS. The parallels between the beloved TV show and this book just kept appearing; it was as if a younger Ted Lasso fell for Roy Kent. Gavin IS Roy Kent in so many ways (a grumpy, aging superstar with a dark beard, a marshmallow center, a career that he doesn't want to accept is coming to a close, and a need for someone sweet and loving in his life), while Oliver is very much Ted Lasso (a puppy dog who hides his pain behind a smile - he's even reeling from a breakup, tries to hide his panic attacks, loves his family, and has a tougher side that he doesn't show often). Add in a girl boss who appreciates receiving sweets, a soccer team, etc, and this FELT like Ted Lasso. Which, obviously, is an awesome thing in many ways, but it also served as a distraction from THIS love story. I could never just sit down and enjoy the book without my mind jumping to other things, and that's what dragged this down for me. There's a lot to love about the story, and I have to imagine that Bergman Brothers fans who haven't watched Ted Lasso are likely to enjoy it the most. I received an early copy and am voluntarily leaving a review of this sports romance.

Happy pub day to Chloe and the fifth Bergman brothers book!! I think the series has solidified that romance books with siblings in them are my fave — there’s just something about that long history and the welcoming of the significant other into the family and the endless teasing that gets me every time. And this book is no different — you go in already having an idea of who Oliver is and what he’s like but then omg a surprise time jump! Which was amazing because we get to see the other couples we’ve read about progressing, and Oliver gets the chance to grow a little. And did I mention he’s on a soccer team and his love interest is basically Roy Kent? Complete with cursing and emotional constipation — he’s perfect. So yeah, Ted Lasso fans, this is for you. It’s sweet and steamy and just so good.

Nurturing Love
Everything for You is another brilliant addition to the Bergman Brothers Series. It is full of emotion, humor, and family fun. Ms. Liese shines a light on anxiety representation and chronic pain representation, as well as, centers LGBTQ+ main characters in this story.

Ollie is the youngest of the Bergman Brothers. He is a magnificent soccer player, adoring uncle, loyal brother, and loving son. He is a nurturer to others and puts on sunshiny armor for the world. A coping mechanism that leaves him guarded and a bit lonely.

Gavin is a legend on the soccer field. He is blunt, brusque, and quite grumpy. His body is riddled with pain from injuries sustained throughout his career. A career that he is hanging onto by a thread. He uses his grumpiness as a shield to hide his pain and uncertainty.

The attraction between Ollie and Gavin is mutual, but for 2 years they have pushed each other's buttons. When they are forced to be co-captains, the sexual tension gets harder to resist. There are pranks, meddling Bergmans (especially Viggo), an adorable niece, interfering Seniors, and tender moments that will make you swoon. The growth and work these characters engage in is inspiring. This journey is a testament of patience, persistence, passion, and partnership.

Chloe Liese gives her fans what they’ve been waiting for with the fifth installment in her The Bergman Brothers Series which comes out on May 10th. Everything for You, which centers around the youngest brother of the bunch, may be Liese’s first LGBTQ+ romance, but still has all of the heart-warming inclusive themes that make her books so binge-worthy.

Did I actually binge read this book in a few hours? Yes.

Did I stay up until 3:30am to finish it? Also yes.

Honestly, just when I thought Chloe Liese’s books couldn’t get any better, she goes and writes Oliver’s books and makes me fall in love with her writing all over again. This book had queer representation, anxiety and mental health rep, and chronic pain rep all wrapped up into the most delicious enemies-to-lovers grump/sunshine romance ever. Not only are Gavin and Oliver amazingly written characters, the cameos from the rest of the Bergman Family is just the icing on the cake.

The plot was so perfectly paced out and the romance was simultaneously slow-burn, but not. Liese teases the reader along with the tension between our two main characters just enough to make the build up amazingly peak at the perfect point in the story.

I think I’ve reviewed all of the books that Chloe Liese has published to date and this one might be one of her best. All I can say is go read this book immediately and I’m not quite sure how I’m supposed to wait until 2023 to get the next book in this amazing series.

*I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

"I promise it all-my body, my soul, my life, for you, everything for you, to care for you and love you, if you'll let me."

Chloe has done it again 👏🏻. The short review is that this book is perfect and this series has my whole heart, so I couldn't recommend it more.

The long answer is here is a list of all the things I love about Everything For You:
- Nobody does grumpy/sunshine and multi-faced characters better than Chloe. Gavin is a gorgeous grump and veteran soccer player scared of what his future holds beyond soccer. He made my heart ache, he made me laugh and he made me swoon.
- Meanwhile, Ollie is pure sunshine. He's a considerate, joyful, rainbow-wearing, Hamilton-obsessed soccer player in his prime. But, struggling with anxiety, he "wraps my sadness in the blanket of cheerfulness."
- Chloe promised Ted Lasso vibes and she delivered. Gavin is 100% Roy Kent (complete with 'oi's, swearing and a nurturing quality hiding underneath his stoic armour).
- Their relationship was perfect. The chemistry! The tension and pining! The banter! The vulnerability! The SPICE! I loved every second.
- Another thing that was perfect? The pacing. I couldn't put it down.

What else can you expect?
- Enemies to respectable co-captains to lovers (pranks included).
- One bed!
- Age gap (34/24)
- Appearances from all the Bergmans and a cast of eclectic poker players. I just love this family so much and seeing them grow as the series progresses.
- An appearance from the beloved A-frame cabin too, home to all the grand gestures.

Chloe, thank you once again for gifting us this series. And thank you for gifting me an early copy of this book!

I love a sports romance and I really liked the idea of a newer player with an older player. However, it was really hard to figure out why these two liked each other, beyond that they lived next door to each other. There were some really great moments, particularly with the niece.

4.5 stars
I absolutely loved this cute queer read. This had such great tropes: enemies to lovers, grumpy and sunshine lovers… Absolutely cute. I also love that they were neighbors, almost like the “and they were roommates” lol But this was great, I enjoyed the slowburn progression of their romance.

All I want is to be a part of the Bergman family, is that too much to ask?

This is the fifth book in the series following Oliver Bergman, a professional soccer player and a total sweetheart. Oliver's teammate and next-door neighbor happens to be his idol and teenage crush, Gavin. Grumpy Gavin is near the end of his soccer career and is envious of the younger, fit, and super attractive Oliver, BUT he's also into him.

This is an age-gap enemies to lovers romance between two totally different men who must get over their own securities in order to be with each other. With swoon-worthy moments and steaming tension, this is for sure a Chloe Liese book.

I completely adored this book. I gave it four stars because I didn't like the pacing of their relationship that much but I will always love a grumpy/sunshine romance, especially when both characters try to work on themselves before getting together. That is something Chloe Liese is best at. Her books are so much more than romances, they are perfect snapshots of realistic people working through their own struggles and imperfections to become better partners. I fall in love with Gavin and Oliver and their truly opposites-attract love story and I cannot wait until we see the Bergmans again!

Picking up a book by Chloe Liese is like putting a soothing balm over a wound.
Nothing compares to the absolute sense of warmth and relief of reading about the Bergmans.

I loved every single book in the series and this story was no exception. I almost want to say olligavin are my favourite couple but then I remember how amazing each book couple is and I'm not so sure.

The book starts with two characters who are seemingly at odds but who unknowingly share similarities; They both want to feel love but are too afraid to fall in love and be vulnerable. Through Viggo, there are discussions on romance novels and what they bring you and I really loved the whole part of these novels having a romance element but apart from that, there is also character development and I am so proud of Oliver and Gavin for their own journeys. I loved reading about them both finally being vulnerable, seeing their flaws and accepting growth in order to accept each other.
The dual point of view in romance books is my kryptonite and both Olivr and gavin and their lustful, angsty thoughts were delectable. I love how they built that intimacy until the moment they gave in and finally admitted their love. I couldn't help, smiling, squealing and swooning.

I also loved how wonderfully the Grump/ sunshine mixed with he only one bed trope and sports romance category were developed; These are some of my favourite things to read about and the author actually reminded me why I love these things so much.

Of course, I LOVED reading about the whole family and getting glimpses of all the previous couples. And one thing I admire in these books is the way the author kindly treats so many topics in such a respectful and beautiful way. I think the anxiety rep was extremely well-done and I loved how queer but low-key it was; After reading this book, it only confirmed how addictive and excellent Chloe Liese's writing style is. I will always recommend this book.
