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 Christmas Book Club book review

  I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

The Off-Limits Rule book review

  I discovered Sarah Adams in early 2024 after it was recommended to me on Bookstagram and while she wasn’t originally an author I was sure about, however as I read more from her I fell in love with her books and she definitely became a favourite auto-buy author. My last traditionally published backlist series I had to read going into 2025 was It Happens in Nashville duology, the first book being The Off-Limits Rule.  The Off-Limits Rule follows Lucy who has moved her and her son back in with her brother who has made it clear that his best friend, Cooper, is off-limits to her however Lucy has gotten a different impression of Cooper to what Drew has told her about him and maybe it’s okay to break the rule sometimes, right? As soon as I started this book I was reminded of exactly why I love Sarah Adams books so much. I was invested in Lucy’s character and hooked by the story. I enjoyed all of the characters and found it to be a book that I could not put down.  The romance w...

My Kind of Trouble book review

  I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts.  I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more.  I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...
