A great read, the story of Viggo and Tallulah. Bingo is a romance book reader and has helped all his siblings find their happy ever after, so will be finally get his own? I loved this book!

It’s a room-mance for the books in this tender, steamy story about unexpectedly finding love and being brave enough to let it revise life’s narrative in the final book in the beloved Bergman Brothers series.

The final Bergman Brother Book has concluded, and it did not disappoint! Viggo Bergman is such a precious main character. He is so in touch with his feminine side and I love it. The chemistry between Viggo and Tallulah is fire from the beginning, even when both characters deny it. I also felt like this was the steamiest of the books. Tropes include Forced Proximity, Grumpy Sunshine, ADHD Representation, and Dual POV. There are a lot of inclusivities here. Tallulah has type 1 diabetes, Viggo is neurodivergent, and both main characters have mental health journies and openly discuss therapy. The best part is this is a book about books and book people. Viggo is an aspiring bookstore owner and Tallulah is an author. What is not to love!? People who read romance often are told their expectations are too high, or unrealistic, and this book did a beautiful job showing how that is not the case and sometimes what people need is a little romance or grand gesture moment!

I've enjoyed reading about this family in all their diverse goodness and I feel like as this series comes to a close, I'm leaving behind a bunch of friends. I would definitely recommend this series as a whole!

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 4/2!

I cannot believe that this is the last book in the Bergman Brothers series. In have loved being in this world so much. This will forever be one of my favorite comfort series. I am not over how much I loved finally getting to be able to read Viggo's story. I mean talk about the most precious man. he is just doing all of the things and I am proud of him. Tallulah was so easy to fall in love with too. and I felt like the chemistry and connection that they had to each other was fantastic seeing them help each other out and then falling in love with each other felt like such a gift. I loved of course seeing all of the rest of the family. I just adore all of them. such a fantastic ending to one of the best series..

To say that the first 3 books in the Bergman Brothers series saved my sanity in 2020 is not an understatement. The complexity of heart, humor, and heft coupled with authentic representation, strong family dynamics and an HEA was exactly what my pandemic riddled heart needed.

This has remained true through all 7 books including the final installment- 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 I loved it. No notes.

While I'm sad the series has reached its conclusion I take solace in the knowledge that I can, and already have, returned to the A-frame when my heart needs a boost. I can re-read the meet-cutes. I can put hand-to-heart during grand gestures. I can laugh at the Bergman Brother Summits. I can sign with utter contentment at every declaration.

To:
Ryder and Willa

Viggo and Tallulah
The entire supporting Bergman cast
And Chloe.
THANK you.

NOTE: I own the first 6 books with the original covers and now Berkley has picked the whole series up (yeah! Wider distribution) and has re-released everything with new covers. Am I irrationally annoyed? YES. Is this a totally inconsequential reader problem? Also yes.

Me: I don't think I'll read this one cause I haven't read the others
Also me: binges this in less than a day and proceeds to OBSESS over it.

Oh what a joy! What a wonderful, marvelous JOY of a book! Viggo and Tallulah you have my HEART AND SOUL. Viggo you hopeless romantic and beautiful human, I'm really glad you got your happy ending and that I got to start my Bergman journey with it! I want to give you the biggest hug my boy you deserve it all.

TALLULAH! WE ARE THE SAME. Girl who thinks love will never happen for her and doesn't believe in it? Check. Her character gave me so much hope and strength. I love her. She is my girl.

The COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THEM!! This is how adults behave! The representation, the love, the joy! What a beautiful love story and a beautiful ending to a series that is so loved by many.

The finale of this wonderful series! I just discovered these books late last year after receiving an ARC of With You Forever. Since then, I’ve read a couple of the others and I was excited to read this final one! This one wasn’t my favorite, but I did think it was a really sweet way to end the series. I really enjoyed the representation and characters throughout these books, and will definitely check out more of Liese’s books in the future.

5 stars aren't enough! I have adored this series so much and what a lovely way to end it all. Viggo has been such a large part of each siblings journey so far. I was so excited to finally get to his love story. Lula was such a perfect match for him. Watching them grow together and learn to drop their guards was a delight. This series and family have been a blessing. Each little moment we got with the former couples was a joy.

The most massive thank you to Chloe. Not just for this series but for making sure readers with ADHD and/or diabetes had access to ARCs for this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Look, Chloe Liese can basically do no wrong in my eyes. She writes her characters with empathy, relatability, kindness, and life lessons for all of us. She has a way of making you feel seen, even if you don't exactly deal with the same obstacles as her characters.

Viggo and Tallulah discover not only each other, but their true selves by their vulnerability and desire for love. The overcome inner beliefs to find each other and NO THIRD ACT BREAK UP.

A beautiful wrap-up to a series I could not love more.

Don't talk to me, I'm EMO.

I have absolutely loved reading this series and falling in love with these characters. Chloe did such a fantastic job with writing this ending and tying up all of the loose ends. I truly didn't want it to end, but it was perfection.

First and foremost, I related to Viggo WAYYYY too much. He is me and I am him. I was rooting for him and Tallulah from the beginning and I loved their growth throughout this book. I absolutely loved all of his quirky graphic t-shirts and his hopeless romantic attitude. The banter between them was top tier and the tension was IMMACULATE.

This was such a great example of effective communication within a relationship! I loved that these two met each other where they were with their respective traumas and personal lives. I just wanted to give both of them a huge hug and tell them that they are so loved and perfect just the way they are.

The constant Bergman family cameos and meddling throughout the book were EVERYTHING to me. I loved a particularly tender moment with Talullah and all of the Bergmans' significant others. I also SCREAMED when Viggo was ambushed finally by his brothers.

Overall, I truly can't say enough about this and I annotated soooo many passages throughout the book.

Thank you Berkley Publishing, Chloe Liese, and Netgalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you so much to Chloe Liese and Berkley for this Lived Experience ARC of Only and Forever! I could not be more grateful to have been given early access to the final book in the Bergmans!

This book may have been *the* most anticipated read of the year for me, and it did not disappoint in the slightest. After watching Viggo grow up through the previous six books, and seeing his personality shine, I couldn't wait for him to have his own love story, and couldn't imagine a better pairing than him and Tallulah. The ultimate grumpy/sunshine pairing, with queer and neurodivergent rep, and the pinnacle of romance - only one bed - this book was truly a delight from start to finish, and an excellent wrap up of the series as a whole. Did I sob hysterically? Yes. But was it the perfect ending for the characters we've grown to love for years? Absolutely.

It's no secret how much the Bergman Brothers series has meant to me. From the moment I first picked up Only When It's Us early in 2022, I knew this series was going to be special, but I had no idea how dramatically it would change my life. Reading Chloe's characters has taught me so much about myself and the way I interact with the world and dream and love. From the day I cracked open Willa and Ryder to reading the very last page of Only and Forever, this series has been such an important part of my life, and it's going to be so strange to not have any more books to look forward to in this series (though I would not complain about a Next-Gen series). I cannot thank Chloe enough for giving the world her words and her heart in these books, for bringing me the friends I've made in the BergFam community, and for being such a kind person in person and on Instagram. I can't wait to read whatever else she has imagined for the future, and to continue to recommend these books to everyone I ever meet, ever.

“Fuck anyone who makes you feel like you’re too much. If they feel that way, they aren’t enough for you.”

If I had a dollar for everyone Bergman book I read (or listened) to in one sitting, I’d have seven dollars. These books have been such a comfort and light as I’ve read them, and I’m so attached to this entire family and their partners. They’re perfectly imperfect, and that’s why I think makes this series so special.

Viggo makes me feel seen. As a person who has been recently diagnosed with ADHD, seeing him struggle with some of the same things I do was so incredible. He’s worried he’s too much for people, which is so relatable. The way his relationship with Tallulah develops is so genuine and natural, and they both find what they need in each other. Viggo is also so worried about what his family will think of him opening his own romance bookstore. He wants to show his family that he is capable and he wants them to be proud of him. In true Bergman fashion, the family is so supportive of him.

Tallulah’s arc is so well done. She has lingering trauma from the way her parents’ relationship was, and it’s kept her away from committing to a partner. The time she spends with Viggo and the Bergmans really opens her eyes to what’s possible. There is such a beautiful conversation she has with Willa, Frankie, and Rooney about coming into a family that is so loving and affectionate. Tallulah realizes she isn’t the only one with these feelings of being unsure about how to integrate into such a close-knit family.

I will forever recommend this series. Saying goodbye to this family is so bittersweet, but I couldn’t have imagined a better ending.

In 2022 I decided to read this series and immediately knew I had a new favourite on my hands. I practically inhaled the first four books, then read book 5 early, which cemented this as my favourite romance series. I read book 6 early too, and was so happy when I also got the chance to read book 7, Viggo's book, early.

While reading the previous books, I've been rooting for Viggo so much. He was one of my favourite side characters, and I was so glad to see him finally get his own book. It was amazing to get to know him even better, but it was just as amazing to meet Tallullah in this book, I immediately loved her so much.

What's impressed me in Chloe Liese's writing is the warmth, the kindness, the acceptance. This is all present here and it's something Tallullah really needs in her life, which is why she works so incredibly well with Viggo.

Throughout the series I've wondered what type of person Viggo would end up with. Not a lot of people would have felt good enough for him, because he's truly so precious. What amazes me is how Chloe Liese has managed in every book to craft the perfect dynamic, find each character a match that's absolutely perfect for them. Each of these romances have been so different from each other, but they all suit the characters perfectly.

Aside from the romance I loved the cosy setting of this book. The A-Frame is featured a lot, Tallullah becomes Viggo's roommate, and of course Viggo opens his own r0mance bookshop, which I would give anything to shop at.

And finally, what makes this series into such a favourite for me are the family dynamics. There was such a good balance here between spending time with all of these beloved characters and seeing how they were doing, and seeing them reach new milestones in life, while keeping the main focus on the romance and not taking away from it.

REVIEW: Only and Forever ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Writing this review is very bittersweet. I was so excited about reading the last Bergman series book, but after reading through it for the last two months, I’m not ready for it to end. I have enjoyed getting to know each of the Bergman siblings and watching them find their happily-ever-afters. Ugh, I will miss reading these books; the Bergman series is probably one of my favorite romance series.

Now, on to Only and Forever, in particular. This was the perfect book to end this great series. Viggo Bergman feels left out being the only one in his family who isn’t partnered off. This especially affects him because he is such a huge romance novel fan. What a great way to end the series with the romantic looking for his happily ever after.

This book perfectly blended the romantic warm fuzzy and some strong chemistry and heat. As always, Chloe makes her characters' relationships so strong. I enjoyed how the main characters had different views on relationships, and neither pushed the other out of their comfort zone. On top of that, even though Viggo was a virgin, he was never pressured into sex or going further without his say-so. There was so much asking each other for consent. Chloe continues sharing different representations for another inclusive romance story. In this book, ADHD, childhood trauma, and diabetes are present throughout the story.

Overall, I really enjoyed Only and Forever as the final book in the Bergman series. Viggo has been the heart throughout the series, trying to set everyone up and help them through their relationship troubles. It seemed he was meant to end the series with his own love story. Only and Forever also makes you feel that everyone’s stories have been tied up perfectly. This book is perfect for romance fans who love a grumpy/sunshine, a second chance relationship, and close proximity.

Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group, Netgalley, and Chloe Liese for a free advanced copy for my honest review!

My Thoughts-
This was my first book by the author and I really enjoyed this one. When I requested this ARC, I did not realize it was apart of a series. But I found out you could read any of these books as a standalone. This book was sweet, I loved the dynamic between Viggo and Tallulah. I loved the honesty the characters had with one another. The tension and the humor they brought to their dynamic. This book is filled with heart and humor. I loved the the ADHD representation with Viggo and the diabetes representation with Tallulah. I feel like you dont see those topics addressed enough in books.The pacing was great. Once I started this book I could not put it down. I loved, I laughed, I screamed, and got teary eyed. The banter was very cute and kept you engaged throughout the story. Oh just to let everyone know… there is no third act break up.

All the characters in this book were very well liked.
Viggo is truly so special. I loved the his character and the storyline for him. He was very well-rounded. He was ever the sunshine golden retriever lover boy we all expected but getting a closer look into his struggle with ADHD.

Tallulah my blue haired princess. She was everything. She added such an amazing dynamic to this story. Her character portrayed so many complex feelings in such a raw and relatable way.

I was kicking my feet and giggling for them. Watching these two come together, taking risks, being vulnerable… it was all just so beautiful.

Overall-
I think this is a great book. I think I might be mire attached if I read the rest of the books in the series. So I’m def going to work backward and read the rest of the series. I think people that has read the rest of the Bergman Brothers will love this conclusion.

The author included songs for each chapter which I loved. So I will not be creating a playlist for this one.

✨ Thanks to NetGalley, Chloe Liese, and Berkley Publishing Group for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ✨

Oh Chloe you have done it again!!! Just love this series so much and I’m so sad it had to come to an end. Viggo and tallulah were amazing and the epilogue had me bawling like a baby

Chloe Liese cements herself more and more as a forever-favorite with every book she comes out with. This was no exception. Viggo’s story was one of the most anticipated books of the series and it was incredible. It’s such a great conclusion to the series, I couldn’t have asked for a better end.

Only and Forever was a sweet ending to the Bergman Sibling series. Viggo has been the romantic of the group for so long that it's only right we'd end with his love story. I look forward to reading what Chloe Liese comes up with next.

I'm speechless. This is one of the best books I have EVER read and I do not say that lightly. I was smiling, laughing, crying.. this was so beautiful and so real. Genuinely, I don't even know what I could say to convey how good this actually was. If you take one book rec from me, PLEASE let it be this one!

The way Viggo and Lula communicate and open themselves up to the other is actually the most beautiful thing ever. I believe everyone should read this JUST for that aspect. There is something so genuinely raw about the way they go about everything too. Not just their romance but their family lives and their health.

I already wish I could experience this again for the first time. I have a feeling like all romance books after this one (at least for a little while) are just going to be okay. I'm not sure how to move on after this..

Chloe Liese.. I will now be reading EVERYTHING you have ever published.

*I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review with my honest opinion.*

This book concludes the Bergman Brothers series, now published traditionally and finding a new audience. If this is your first Bergman Brothers book, you should go back and read the rest before this one. For those of us who have been on this ride with Chloe forever...this is the perfect capstone to an amazing series.

Viggo is the romantic in the family. We've cheered him on since the beginning. And finally, his book!

Viggo meets Tallulah in college - the older sister of a good friend of his sister. He's instantly intrigued by her, but is convinced she hates him. Years later, they meet again at his family's A-frame to celebrate her sister's engagement and those sparks are still there.

One year later Tallulah goes to the soft-soft opening of Viggo's new romance bookstore. While there she confesses she's struggling to write her sophomore novel and Viggo is overextended and broke (and thus can't afford to hire help for the store). They agree to help each other out for two months - Tallulah with the store and Viggo will help soften up the edges of the married couple in Tallulah's thriller. She moves in with him (as she has nowhere else to go) and 2 dogs and 5 kittens later...a romance is born.

I am still in awe two days later that this series is over. It was perfect and any Bergman fan will love how Chloe wraps everything up.

This was my third book by Chloe Liese (it's an arc and it's comes out on April 2nd) and so far it's my favorite by her. I believe it's the final book in the Bergman Brothers series but I'll be reading the rest of the books during the course of the year. This has ADHD and diabetic representation for those interested.

This one was super special, tender and ridiculously sweet. Viggo and Tallulah had me in a chockehold since the beginning. I loved how honest they were for each other. If you love good communication between couples, read this. They are the type of couple that would honestly stay together no matter the circumstances because they DO talk to each other. I adored their dynamic so much.

It's golden retriever x black cat. She is a people pleaser type of character and I felt for her through this book. She was real and relatable and I loved that. I also liked Chloe's writing more in this book compared to others that I have read by her. The only reason why this one is not a 5 stars for me is because I didn't get that feeling but I absolutely adored it.
