Everything for You is the fifth book in the Bergman Brothers series. They are companion novels, you don't have to read all the books in order to know what is going on, but I high recommend you pick them all up! Every time one of her books come out, I think "oh this one is my favourite", but honestly I cannot pick. Chloe Liese is such a talented writer and I love all the books in this series so much! She has written as beautiful novel with so many feelings inside it. Not only that, she has combined so many of my favourite tropes and I am here for it!!
If you like a grump-sunshine, enemies to lovers, only one bed, or age gap romances, this
book is for you! At first I wasn't sure I was going to love Gavin, but as the story went on, I fell more and more in love with him. I also liked to get the chance to learn more about Oliver and the masking he does in the way of positivity and "sunshine" and seeing him let his guard down a bit.
The steam in this book is perfect, but the slow burn is even more perfect. I loved every little bit of Gavin and Oliver's relationship and they were perfect together.
One of my favourite parts of Chloe's writing is that she is so inclusive. She writes about disabilities and differences in such a true, kind and respectful way. Writing Oliver's panic attacks or Gavin's chronic pain was done with such care and compassion, yet while being true and realistic.
I absolutely adored that Chloe Liese did a time jump and we got to see all the Bergmans in the future, learning what happened to the past four Bergman couples. I also loved being able to learn about Viggo and Ziggy, the siblings we haven't had stories about yet.
This was a great novel, by an awesome author. I will continue to pick up Chloe's novels in the future, because she is such a wonderful writer. Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an advance copy. All opinions are 100% mine.

“I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” - Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
It’s always a pleasure to read Chloe Liese’s novels as they are thoughtful, well written, and examine the essential natures of their protagonists. Liese doesn’t simply tell a story, she gives us rich characterizations and beautiful world-building. With the Bergmans, we also have a lot of fun.
As we begin, “Everything For You”, Oliver Bergman is mourning a break-up as he and his brother Viggo drive to the Bergman family’s A-Frame for the celebration of the marriage of Axel and Rooney (“[b:With You Forever|57558144|With You Forever (Bergman Brothers, #4)|Chloe Liese|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1618830560l/57558144._SY75_.jpg|90134307]”). It’s difficult for Oliver to watch all of his loved-up siblings as he nurses his broken heart. Oliver is also learning to cope with his newly-diagnosed anxiety and trying to decide his future path. He decides that in the future, he will keep the people he loves separate from the game he loves: soccer.
Four years later, Oliver is playing for the Galaxy and his once idol, Gavin Hayes, is his very grumpy veteran teammate. That is, until the coach tells them that they are now co-captains of the team. Leaving us with the question: will they be able to work together?
Gavin definitely gives off Roy Kent vibes with his grumpy demeanor, proclivity for swearing, his age, and his pain issues. (I might have a Roy Kent t-shirt, coffee mug and he might be my cell wallpaper so, this made me ecstatic.) Readers who have never seen Ted Lasso will still enjoy Gavin’s grumpy personality. It’s a great contrast to Oliver’s sunny disposition.
“...everything you say to him is like it’s specially designed to get under his skin.” - Coach
Oliver gets under Gavin’s skin and vice versa but the coach assures Oliver that there is “more” to Gavin.
“I’m six-four, big-boned, my voice sounds like gravel-laced ice, and my sentences are eighty-five percent profanity.” - Gavin
The banter between Oliver and Gavin is freaking delightful as is the crushing, the lusting, the pining! All these factors drew me into the story and kept me locked there. I simply could not put this book down. They find themselves tuned in to one another, turned on by one another and neither of them wants to be for different reasons.
“I want to grab him by the shirt and shake him until I have a hold on him like he does on me.” - Oliver
The Bergmans are all back together and we get to see another Bergman Brothers Summit in which they use their romance-reading powers to help Oliver figure out how to handle Gavin’s attitude towards him. I love this family so much. It’s great to be able to “check in” with them and see where they are after their own books have concluded.
As the story progresses, Gavin and Oliver learn more about themselves and each other and it’s so satisfying to be on that journey with them. Their issues with anxiety (Oliver) and chronic pain (Gavin) are touchingly handled by Liese.
“Everything For You”, is a fantastic addition to the Bergmans series. The mutual pining is intense and the tension is so palpable that I don't think that I would necessarily call this a slow burn. It is hot, hot, hot. I loved Gavin and Oliver’s relationship in all its iterations: tense teammates, wary neighbors, and new lovers. I highly recommend this romance if you love a passionate and steamy story that is rich in characters, that is also fun and heartfelt.
Siggy and Viggo are the two Bergmans who are left to get their own romances and I can’t wait and at the same time, don’t want this series to end.
I received an advance copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.

I received an advance copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.
This book was so incredibly heartwarming and had some of the best leads out of any of the books in this series, along with my favorite supporting characters (I'm a sucker for the funny senior citizen friend groups). The depth of the characters and certain events in the story completely did me in.
the only problem was that I kept picturing Roy from Ted Lasso as Gavin and that is NOT the move
this series makes me want to bawl my eyes out of happiness like it’s all so sweet and happy and funzies. i was reading all of the previous books to get to this one so i can get the full effect for it bc i was hopping around the series at first but for this one i was really excited for it that i read the others to prepare and it was worth it to understand the little references seen throughout the book w the family members. their slowburn is so good like it’s not as slow as mariana zapata but it’s enough to be considered a slowburn and it’s just too good w the tension and the chemistry between the main characters it’s a classic opposite attracts. there’s sm i love about this book aside from the characters i love the diversity in this book like the author includes everyone of all ages races gender sexual orientation and it’s just refreshing to read about one thing i will be a #hater about is the pop culture references pls don’t mention encanto for my sake pls but ngl i did like the hamilton reference bc hamilton is different ok let a girl live. i also love the humor in this book the characters bounce off each other so well and their pranking moment was too good fr. oh i also didn’t like how gavin’s backstory is barely mentioned and when it is talked about it’s so vague bc all that is known is that he left england soccer bc he felt he was no longer good enough to be on top so he moved to the us where he’s good there but his body is really pushing it and he knows he’s gonna have to retire soon. but there’s not much about his background it’s only mentioned at the very end that he only cared about this one mentor guy who got him into soccer but he passed away. he was raised by his uncle and aunt who he doesn’t like but he says i’m not ready to talk about it yet so it’s never fully explained why he doesn’t like them and there’s also mentions of an ex lover he had so i’m just confused why the author brushed off his past idk i wish there was more to it so we get a better understanding of his past but whatevs. it’s ok bc i still love his characters like he’s described as this swedish cake as hard on the outside but soft on the inside and that’s so real like he’s so caring towards the oliver while trying to hide his feelings bc he felt both envious and attracted to him bc he’s at his prime and he feels like he’s nothing without soccer leading to his jealousy yk. i love oliver too hes so sweet and quirky one of my fav brothers out of the family like he’s always caring for others that’s just who he is like who goes on coffee runs for the staff and is always the little jokester but he’s put on this facade of always being optimistic for some reason i forgot but he lost a part of himself trying to please everyone else but he goes back to his roots w his family’s help fr bc the whole reason he’s changed was gavin as he’s always gave him the cold shoulder but he finally realizes that he doesn’t have to take his shit and he can stand up for himself. their relationship developing warms my heart sm bc they’re neighbors too so that kind of forced proximity allows them to grow closer as they’re able to see the people who care about them and meet them for themselves like oliver meeting the poker guys too good i love the poker guys for gavin they bring out the best in him and push him to expand his life from more than just soccer. they’re just such a cutesies couple fr bc they both understand each other so well and inspire each other to be the best versions of themselves. they also have such good banter teasing each other about their clothes and how oliver is a big musics fan. i’m such a lover of love it’s hard being me fr but yeah i love their dynamic and towards the end when gavin got into his accident and had to retire and he left oliver bc he didn’t want to bring him down it was sad but something he would do but it had him realizing how much he loved him and he basically confessed his love for oliver over a press conference and flew out to washington to see him he’s so sweet and good at groveling i love. yeah this is such a good book i’m giving it a 9/10 so fluffy and cute.
i don’t think there’s a book of hers that i won’t absolutely devour
Speechless. I love all the Bergmann Brother books. They are perfection.
