Oh Viggo Bergman. I’ve been waiting for your book what seems like an eternity, and boy did you not disappoint.

The Bergman series is responsible for my love of sports romance. I started reading this series out of order, but as soon as I finished Always Only You, I picked up the first book – Only When It’s Us – and started from there.

And now this this incredible series has come to an end with Only and Forever, and we finally get Viggo’s story.

Tallulah and Viggo’s story is the perfect send off to this series. The biggest romantic of them all gets the loveliest romance. Tallulah and Viggo meet in college, and through family dynamics come into each others lives a few years down the line, but it is safe to say huge romantic Viggo has not forgotten his blue haired crush. The banter and chemistry these two have is so page turning I read this book in one setting, through tears and laughter.

Tallulah is a writer, who with one successful book under her belt, is suffering from quite dramatic writers block. Her editor wants her to work on the romance aspect of the story and she is hitting a wall. In comes Viggo, who is in the process of opening up a romance book store – an expert in all things romance… on page that is. In real life not so much. Through some typical Bergman family meddling the two end up helping each other out, including becoming roommates.

The thing that struck me personally with this book is just how relatable both these characters are. There were so many moments when it was like looking into my own brain, the second guessing, the, the anxiety, the overthinking. But these complexities feel so natural and part of the story.

I get this a lot with Chloe Liese’s books, which is one of the many reasons I love this author so much. It’s like a reassuring breath of fresh air that you are not the only person that goes through these things. It is clear that she has done her research or has real world experience of the topics she highlights in each of the Bergman books.

All in all, Viggo and Tallulah’s story is a sweet rollercoaster of a ride, full of laugh out loud moments, swooney moments, tears and sooo much found family love. I will miss this series so much, but it is always on my bookshelf ready for a re-read when I need some comfort.
