Everything for You

Bergman Brothers, Book 5

De: Chloe Liese

Narrado por: Tim Paige

Gear up for an all-the-feels, steamy slow-burn in this enemies-to-lovers sports romance about fighting for love when life's taught you it's a losing game.

Gavin

We've been teammates for two years, but it feels like a lifetime that Oliver Bergman's been on my last nerve. A demanding captain and veteran player, I'm feared and friendless, while he's the beloved rising star, all sunshine, smiles, and upbeat team spirit. To make matters worse, he's obscenely attractive. In short: he's genetically designed to get under my skin.

Avoiding Oliver has been my survival tactic on and off the field. But when Coach drops the bomb that we're now co-captains, avoiding him becomes impossible, and keeping the truth from him—let alone my distance—is harder than ever.

Oliver

Life was great until soccer legend Gavin Hayes joined the team and proved he's nothing like the guy I grew up idolizing. Instead, he's a giant—albeit gorgeous—grump who lives to rain on my parade. I've sworn off pranks since entering the public eye, so rather than settle our differences the Bergman way, I've had to settle for killing Gavin with kindness. There's just one problem: killing him with kindness is killing me.

To make matters worse, Coach gives us an ultimatum: put an end to our enmity or say goodbye to being captains. I'm prepared to be miserable while we meet her demands and make nice, but the last thing I expect is to discover an explosive attraction we can't help but act on, and worse yet, to realize the man hiding beneath Gavin's gruff exterior is all I've ever wanted.

I love this authors, realistic stories.

This is another sweet love story! I appreciate the fact that the author brings in real life, problems, issues, and feelings, and to her stories!

My Favorite Bergman!

This is my favorite book so far from Chloe Liese!!

I absolutely adored Gavin’s grumpiness and Oliver’s never-ending optimism. What a beautifully-written story that gave me all the feels from the time I started it yesterday evening through finishing it this morning. I may need to go back and listen to it again since I didn’t want it to end!

Grumpy meets Happy

Grumpy meets Happy a telling of two men who have worked so dang hard on their past and present to be what they want and who they want to be. Even through the struggles, hurt and sadness they overcame. I was seriously so in love with this I laughed, smiled and maybe blushed a few times okay, a lot with this story. really well written. I got so giddy with the happily ever after. I really am impressed with how well these Bergman family series and their stories had tied so well with each other. I seriously can't get enough of each characters point of views. Just when you think you know the whole story, you get another one and another one. I don't want this to stop. On to the next!

Darling

not a whole lot of the characters opening up to each other due to their pasta, sweet story about them each learning to open up to each other

good narration, different than narrators in the rest of the series, but good

love the series!

Love the Bergman clan!

4.5 stars

So, I went into reading this, not even realizing it was part of an entire series, let alone book 5 in said series. That said, I didn't feel like I missed much reading this as a standalone, but it definitely made me want to get to know the rest of the Bergman clan. Oliver and Gavin are such great characters. They have such great chemistry. I love the way Chloe handled the mental health aspect of both MCs. Oliver and Gavin have their own unique, individual struggles, and I liked seeing how they coped and healed on their own, as well as together. Oliver hides behind a mask of sunshine and happiness, living his life as a bit of a people pleaser, while underneath who he really is is struggling to stay hidden. Gavin is older, his body beaten down from soccer, and reaching the end of his career. He struggles with knowing who he is without soccer. Oliver and Gavin are opposites and rather antagonistic at the start, but they grow to see each other for who they really are. They see each other's insecurities and help the other see their strengths. They somehow work, and their rivalry grows into a friendship, and eventually more. This story is sweet, cute, and pretty sexy at times. I did get a little annoyed at times with the jokes and focus on Gavin's age, mostly from Gavin. But all in all, I really enjoyed this read and definitely recommend!

Also, side note, I couldn't help but chuckle with Oliver's lactose intolerance struggles because it's so relatable. Cheese is life.

Love this!!

This book covers the love story of Oliver Bergman. It’s such a sweet story. Oliver is quite possibly the sweetest of the Bergman siblings. Gavin deserved to be finally shown that level of affection and love in his life. I’m pretty excited for Viggo’s book in this series!!

Seven Star Book

I don’t write reviews. I’m not good at them, but there was something about this book that rang so perfect for me that I had to bite the bullet and do it this time. Everything about this book was divine. It deserves more than five stars- I laughed, I cried. I grinned like a manic, and then laughed and cried more. I genuinely wish I could erase my memory just so I could experience it over again for the first time. I know a book cannot please every reader, but if the premise of this one sounds like the sort of thing you typically enjoy, I urge you to please give it a go. I can’t imagine it not bringing a smile to your face at the very least, and in this world, the way it is now, sometimes that is way more precious than perfection.

3.5 Stars

This was like a lovely mash-up between Kulti (by Mariana Zapata) and Roy Kent & Jamie Tartt (from Ted Lasso.) All of these, plus my love of soccer, made this a rare MM treat for me. My only real negative is that the audiobook was done with only 1 narrator, and with very little intonation change between characters, it was hard to keep track of who was talking/thinking.

Grumpy, Age Gap, Gay, Soccer...

Grumpy, Age Gap, Gay, Soccer...What's not to love? Enjoyable addition to the series. I really liked it.

probably my fave Bergman book.

I love Gavins grump and the banter he has with Oli. This was my fave book of the series, I debated reading it after being disappointed with Axel and Rodney's story but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I read this in 2 days, I simply could not put it down.
