“Because Axel has made me feel like that most vulnerable part of my life, the most embarrassing aspects of my illness, won’t change how he sees me. Not like my parents who need me to be better than I am, or the friends who I’ve projected that onto. He’s made that tired, worn-out part of me sit down and put her feet up and feel that it’s okay not to be okay.”
― Chloe Liese, With You Forever
Tropes;
- grumpy x sunshine
- marriage of convenience
- forced proximity
- disability rep - hero with autism & heroine with ulcerative colitis
- dual POV
🐾Nature, hiking and sunsets,
🐾New friends who were LBGT+ (possible spin off Chloe?!)
🐾STEM discussions,
🐾Cooking together,
I was deeply honored to have been included in the rerelease of the Bergman Brothers series. because no one writes like Chloe Liese. So huge thank you to Berkley Romance, Netgalley, and the author! It isn't my first or second read of this book. I also reccomend the audiobook!
Everyone can pick up one of her books and see themselves in the pages ; man , woman or non binary.
Someone with ADHD, Migraines, T1 Diabetes , or in the case of Rooney our ray of sunshine; IBD.
She crafts characters with reverence., taking time with their feelings . Her characters communicate.. A lot of readers were sad that the rest of the Bergman family didnt descend on the couple and learn of their marriage , but Axyl was treating Rooney like his biggest prize ; and respecting her privacy. IBD doesn't give a lot of good days, and a person suffering certainly isnt wanting to be in the spotlight with as big a family as she married into. .
Chloe is one of those writers that provide a mirror that everyone deserves a love story ; love is not cookie cutter and every couple has their own unique path , but at the end of the day she shows the world that a quiet introverted on the spectrum artist can be swoony . Their heart is beautiful and at the end we dont see any of those things just a Hero we wish we were going home to. .that gentle giant.
rounded up to 5 stars from 4.75 ( audio book with CJ Bloom was amazing.

Sometimes I find myself wondering, do I actually like reading romance or do I just want to like reading romance? Chloe Liese's books remind me that yes, actually, I do love reading romance. This one does take a bit of suspending my disbelief to make the concept work (Ren has so much money and loves to spend it on family stuff like this, so why exactly are we not asking him?), but modern-day marriages of convenience generally do, and I like the trope anyway, so I certainly don't mind.
As usual, I love the romance and how much emphasis there is on understanding and communicating and just all the things I have come to love in a Chloe Liese romance. I did miss the other Bergmans being around, especially at the beginning, especially coming after the last one where I felt positively spoiled by Bergman content.
I feel like my reviews for this series are really repetitive, but they're so consistent in all the way I love them. This book did not only make me basically drop everything to pick up another Bergman book once I finished--I also bought like five other completely unrelated romances, it made me feel so enthusiastic about the genre as a whole.

Loved the marriage of convenience & forced proximity in this one! The steam was really good as always with Chloe Liese's books. I did enjoy Only When It's Us more than this one, which is the only other Bergman Brothers book I've read so far, but I still liked both our main characters; I just felt a lot more chemistry between the couple in the first book. I'm definitely still going to keep going with this series, in whichever order my holds for the books come in!
