Always Only You book review

 

I have read this book twice this year which is not something I often do unless I love a book so that could probably tell you what you need to know about my opinion on Always Only You by Chloe Liese but it won’t stop me reviewing it anyway. 

Always Only You is the second book in the Bergerman Brothers series which follows the relationships of the seven Bergerman siblings. I do, however, think that especially with the earlier books you do not need to read this series in order and you can instead read whichever you are most interested in first and see if it is for you before committing to seven books because I know that is a long series.
In this one we follow Ren Bergerman, who has known since he met Frankie he would wait for her and Frankie the autistic no-nonsense social media for the ice-hockey team Ren plays for. 

The first time I read this I listened to the audiobook all within 24 hours because I was desperate to know what was going to happen and that is the only time I have listened to any audiobook that quickly. This time around I read it at a slower pace over 3 days but loved it just as much. 

Frankie is a character who has really stuck with me in many ways. I connect to a lot about what she says in this book about her autism and also with that I have learned a reasonable amount from her about what I can do to accommodate for myself. She also always reminds me that I can accept it but also not let it be something that always has to define me or I have to tell everyone about. 

Ren is one of my favourite love interests and I also love him as his own character. He is nerdy and so accommodating to Frankie wanting to do whatever he can to help but also happy to learn when he needs to step back, and give Frankie her space too. 

Something else I love about this series is how in each book no matter what sibling we follow we always also get to spend time around the rest of the Bergerman family and whatever partners have joined the family by that book. I will take any time I can get with the Bergerman family so I absolutely love this. Another reason why I love this is because it means that we don’t have to say goodbye to the characters after one book and can continue to see life developments and how their relationships continue to develop. 

This book is definitely on its way to becoming a comfort read and book I turn to when I need a reread that can take my mind off of things and just lets me escape the world for a while. I can only imagine how many times I will reread this book in the future. Definitely a favourite book now no doubt about it.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

The Mistletoe Motive book review

  I discovered Chloe Liese for the first time this year and have since May read her entire backlist and loved all of them. The Mistletoe Motive was no exception to this and another one I read within 24 hours.  Over the course of The Mistletoe Motive we get to know Gabrielle and Jonathan who have worked together at Bailey’s Bookshop for about a year but don’t find themselves getting along. They have recently learned that the bookshop is at risk of closing though and set a challenge of whoever sells the least books in December has to resign and through this challenge Gabrielle meets a new side of Jonathan that she didn’t expect.  This is a novella of under 200 pages so while going in I knew I love Chloe Liese as an author I wasn’t sure what I would think of it with it being so short and having less time with the characters. However I was not at all let down by this book and absolutely loved reading it.  Gabrielle was a character I connected to from early on in the stor...

It Only Happens in the Movies book review

  I have previously loved Holly Bourne books but found that I wasn’t the biggest fan of the one I read in 2024 so was a bit anxious going into It Only Happens in the Movies however I had no need for that anxiety because this book was exactly what I wanted and more.  It Only Happens in the Movies follows Audrey who is over romance after her parents divorce that has left her stuck in the middle, a tough break up and teenage friendship struggles. When she starts a new job and meets Harry, Audrey tries to stay away however she can’t help falling for him even if she knows she shouldn’t.  When I first started I was unsure about the book with the elements of romance however I was pleasantly surprised. Holly Bourne built up a character who I understood and felt relatable. The book had the expected message present in almost all Holly Bourne books which made the story more impactful and me wanting to keep reading to see how things worked out.  All the characters were well-deve...
