I adore this author - another fantastic romance story with amazing main characters that have me hooked instantly.

I enjoyed this, but unfortunately, it didn't hit as well as the previous books in this series. I didn't fully connect to the characters, and I felt it was a bit rushed. I would have liked to spend more time with the family as a whole, considering this is the last book in a seven-book series. It feels like this book is very shallow. We don't dive deep enough into certain things, and I think Talullah specifically needed more page time. We were already rooting for Viggo, but not so much for her.

This series will always have a special place in my heart though. Liese is an incredible writer and I cannot wait for her next book.

Ah another unicorn of a Bergman man - reads romance, lives to help others, loves animals, crochets, coaches kids soccer, bakes, tall, handsome, adult virgin saving himself for true love… If it sounds like I’m bothered about this, I’m not 😂 I read romance for escapism and that’s what this series is all about to me. And even though Viggo Bergman sounds like a fantasy, he’s actually written is such a believable way. I’m rooting for him the whole time.

Viggo and Talulah meet again after brief interactions at college - he was smitten with her then and is even more so now as he gets to know her. He’s a hopeless romantic but she doesn’t even believe in love. They both learn to adjust their thoughts on love as they feel an inexplicable pull to each other. I loved it. A heartwarming conclusion to a cozy series.

What to expect:

- kind of a second chance romance
- roommates to lovers
- found family
- slow burn
- golden retriever MMC
- quite spicy

I don’t know if I have words for how perfect this book is, both as an ending to this series but also just as a beautiful book all on its own. This was perfect in every way.

The last Bergman brothers book ended on a bang! Feeling so nostalgic and missing this series already, Viggo’s story was absolutely perfect. As the hopeless romantic throughout 6 books, he finally got his love story and a little dose of reality along the way. Loved both of their character development throughout the book, and the ADHD representation made me feel seen. The little cameos of the rest of the family just added to the chaos that is a Bergman book, and I can’t wait to see what Chloe comes out with next!

Thank you to Netgalley, Random House UK, Cornerstone, Penguin & Chloe Liese for this arc.

The final installment of the Bergman Brothers series!

While i enjoyed this book, I can't say anything particularly stood out to me. Maybe this was just one of the ones I didn't connect with as much.
I don't have ADHD or Diabetes so didn't connect on that level, and can't comment on the accuracy of the representation but Chloe always does a lot of research and it felt very well done.

I do feel that someone who is a hopeless romantic is much more likely to put themselves out there more and would try and have more experience in relationships and with intimacy but that apparently wasn't the case with Viggo.

In some ways this felt like a rehash of Ren & Frankie's story (which i adored) but I wanted something a bit different.

This book was sweet and steamy but the obstacles felt a little forced. It has cute characters, seniors dogs, kittens, a bookshop, baking & lot's of cute cosy things.

CW: sexual content, medical content

Thank you for sharing the final instalment of The Bergman Brothers series. This book was an excellent read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Chloe Liese is my favourite romance author so I will love everything she writes. This series has my whole heart. The whole Bergman family are beautiful souls and I have adored following their love stories. This book was no exception!
Chloe fills you with hope and love. Viggo got his true love and the family continued to show their connection and love. Viggo being the biggest romantic of them all finally got his romance and it was just wonderful!

What a beautiful final instalment. This series will give you hope, hope in family, hope in love, hope in friendship. The Bergman’s feel like family. Their stories feel like stories I’ve watched unfold in front of me, stories of friends I’ve watched grow. You will never want to leave this series!

I love the Bergman books. Chloe Liese writes her characters so beautifully and thoughtfully. Viggo gets his romance and we revisit the rest of the family and the A frame. A lovely end to a wonderful series. Highly recommend. They will be missed.
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review.

Oh Viggo Bergman. I’ve been waiting for your book what seems like an eternity, and boy did you not disappoint.

The Bergman series is responsible for my love of sports romance. I started reading this series out of order, but as soon as I finished Always Only You, I picked up the first book - Only When It’s Us - and started from there.

And now this this incredible series has come to an end with Only and Forever, and we finally get Viggo’s story.

Tallulah and Viggo's story is the perfect send off to this series. The biggest romantic of them all gets the loveliest romance. Tallulah and Viggo meet in college, and through family dynamics come into each others lives a few years down the line, but it is safe to say huge romantic Viggo has not forgotten his blue haired crush. The banter and chemistry these two have is so page turning I read this book in one setting, through tears and laughter.

Tallulah is a writer, who with one successful book under her belt, is suffering from quite dramatic writers block. Her editor wants her to work on the romance aspect of the story and she is hitting a wall. In comes Viggo, who is in the process of opening up a romance book store - an expert in all things romance... on page that is. In real life not so much. Through some typical Bergman family meddling the two end up helping each other out, including becoming roommates.

The thing that struck me personally with this book is just how relatable both these characters are. There were so many moments when it was like looking into my own brain, the second guessing, the, the anxiety, the overthinking. But these complexities feel so natural and part of the story.

I get this a lot with Chloe Liese’s books, which is one of the many reasons I love this author so much. It’s like a reassuring breath of fresh air that you are not the only person that goes through these things. It is clear that she has done her research or has real world experience of the topics she highlights in each of the Bergman books.

All in all, Viggo and Tallulah’s story is a sweet rollercoaster of a ride, full of laugh out loud moments, swooney moments, tears and sooo much found family love. I will miss this series so much, but it is always on my bookshelf ready for a re-read when I need some comfort.

Thank you for my eARC of this book. I’ve loved this series and really enjoyed the conclusion. There were times it felt a little drawn out but overall I loved this instalment of the Bergman Brothers. I can’t wait for Liese’s next book!

I can’t believe this is the end of the series.

What a journey I’ve been on with the Bergman brothers. I read the first book sometime last year and found it relatively enjoyable, and I liked it enough to want to continue the series. However, I didn’t immediately jump in to reading the rest until some random week last year where I binged them all and had a massive book hangover and a desperation for Viggo’s story as he consistent remained my favourite brother.

While this book is not my favourite, Viggo remains my fave and I did really enjoy this book. I loved getting to know more about Viggo after seeing him through the eyes of his siblings for so long. I loved the setting of the bookshop and I love the positivity this spread about and for romance readers.

I enjoyed the romance and thought Tallulah and Viggo had great chemistry, and I like how their relationship came to be and how they supported each other in their respective careers and helping each other though personal problems.

All in all I’m so sad this series is over but I think this was a great book to wrap the series up with.

This was a great ending to the Bergman sibling series. I love that we finally got Viggo's story, He has been a big part in so many of the other stories that I couldn't wait to read about his. Talulah and Viggo were such a cute and unlikely couple, I loved that it was a forced proximity storyline. Viggo is the sweetest character in this book, you really begin to see the real him. I feel like in all the other books he has played the outgoing, meddling character and in this one he opens up his heart and is the most gentle person. I liked that as always there was a disability representation of both Diabetes and ADHD, and as always this was done so very well throughout the book.

Talulah is a great female lead, she had a slightly spicy/grumpy side to her which I loved but then softened and complimented Viggo so well. The Bergman family make an appearance in this book and they come with drama and love and laughter. Im slightly sad the Bergman series is finished and over but this was a perfect end to the series.

This was such a delicious slow burn of a romance. I really enjoyed the set up and how the chemistry between Viggo and Tallulah was palpable from the beginning.
I liked how they brought the best out of each other and how they gave the other space to grow and figure their stuff out.
The growth of Tallulah was so beautifully done and it was wonderful to see her open up and let herself love and be loved. Viggo was such a great counter to her.
I loved the dynamic of the Bergmans and how they rallied around to help both of them.
This was such a heartwarming story and a lovely end to this series

It feels bittersweet reviewing the final Bergman novel. After committing to the lives of these characters it’s strange knowing there won’t be another book. As anticipated, this book follows beloved Bergan, Viggo. A consistent side character throughout all the books, he finally gets his time to shine.
Viggo, a fanatic romance reader like most of us, remained quite mysterious in the previous books. He was always supportive of his siblings, and you can see this selflessness in Only and Forever.
Viggo has kept a secret from his large family which is his plan to open a bookshop featuring an abundance of romance books! Something he is well known for throughout the series.
Our heroine in this book, Tallulah is a thriller author and has a history with Viggo from their time in college. After a Bergman family friend, and Tallulah’s sister returns to the infamous A-Frame with her in tow the pair are reunited in a tense and steamy exchange. The pair settle on a deal: in exchange for advice and inspiration for her next novel, Tallulah will help out in Viggo’s bookstore and become roommates in the above apartment for a few months.
Viggo is an abundance of feelings and emotions while Tallulah has her guard up for anyone but her sister. The pair get to know one another on a deeper level and soon friendship develops into more, blurring the lines between roommates/colleagues/friends to lovers.
I was so happy to see Viggo’s happily ever after and six books of him aiding his siblings and navigating them through their issues. It was also great to see previous couples and seeing where their relationships are which many now include children, making the Bergman clan even bigger.
I’m excited to see what Chloe Liese will write next. If you’re desperate for a Lises fix, then books one and two in the Wilmot Sisters have already been released with the third in the pipeline currently.
Thank you for the eARC!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this eARC to review.

This is the last book in the Bergman Brothers series and this has been a highly anticipated read for me as not only have I adored the books in this series that I have loved and given 5 stars and Chloe Liese is one of my top authors.

While I did only give this book a 3 star, this doesn't mean it was a bad book! I did enjoy this book as the writing was good, the characters were fun and the plot was interesting, especially with the main character being Viggo who has been a big mystery character for the entire series! The only fault I had was that I felt like the pacing was a little off. While I liked both Viggo and Tallulah, I couldn't help but compare them to other characters with in the series (Who also show up in the book) who I absoluteluy adore and found that the two were lacking in comparison but this is a personal preference and not all the characters within a book will be enjoyed the same amount.

I found that the mental and phsical health rep was great like usual with Chloe Liese so if you have health conditions or just want to read books with health representation then check out Chloe's books as she covers quite a few different conditions and it is great to see the representation and clear love and care Chloe has for the representation too.

The final Bergman! I was equal parts excited and sad to start this book. I have loved all the Bergman stories and can’t believe this is the end of the road.
I really enjoyed being back in the world of the Bergmans, with some of our favourite moments - A frame times and meetings. However I found this one a little slow. There didn’t seem to be much happening and I struggled to get into it. The book did pick up in the second half for me and overall I did enjoy it. Is it my favourite of the series? Sadly no. But I do think it rounded out the whole series well and the slow, calm romance was very well suited to Viggo!

Thank you netgalley!
This was my most anticipated book from the series and I have been waiting for 2 years for Viggo to get his day. I loved this story. The first 10% took me a little to get in to but this was everything I wanted. I loved the T1 rep and I loved how Líese turned the typical female romantic character arcs and put them on the hopeless romantic that was Viggo. He is the epitome of a cinnamon bun. His “secret” about himself was well played and makes total sense and I love how that was represented as so many books in this genre just present the males as this alpha type. I’m now desperate for a “where are they now” novel to see where all the Bergman’s end up. Bravo

Only and Forever is a fun romantic comedy that would make for a good holiday read. I's the final book in the Bergman Brothers series by Chloe Liese but I hadn't read any of the previous titles and I enjoyed it as a standalone.

You'll meet Viggo, a romantic at heart who is just opening his romance bookstore and holding out to meet his soul mate. Enter Tallulah, a thriller writer who doesn't believe in love. Their upbringings are polar opposites, Viggo from a large, caring family who wear their hearts on their sleeves, and Tallulah whose parents gave her a negative view on relationships and made her questions whether love was even possible.

The two decide to do a skills swap, Tallulah will help Viggo with his bookstore opening and Viggo will help her with her writer's block. But what will happen when the two friends do start to have feelings for one another?

I appreciated the author's inclusion of diabetes and ADHD as challenges that the main characters lived with, but for me the spice of the relationship unfortunately fell a little flat.
