My least favourite of the series so far. It's a marriage in trouble.

Aiden and Freya have been married almost a decade but something has been off - so much so that she kicked him out and sent him to stay with her brother Ren to get some space. You know this at the end of the 2nd of the Bergman Brothers series.  

Aiden has GAD. His anxiety is a big part of the story

Spoiler

and the overall conflict

.

I saw the twist coming. I didn't really like it. The janitor being the deadbeat dad Aiden was anxious about being nothing like when they're planning for a baby didn't feel necessary for me. We're told Aiden goes to solo therapy but we never see it. He needed to sort through his hang ups anout becoming a dad - not really a confrontation. But that's my two cents

You get lots of the Bergman family in this one. It is sweet to get them all together.

Guys, at this point Chloe Liese can literally do no wrong for me. I fell in love with Freya just as I have the other Bergmans. I loved that this book focused on keeping the romance after the happily ever after and putting in the work to keep your relationship strong. The anxiety representation was SO well done and I loved that it was the male main character that struggled with it because I feel like we don't see that enough in books. Gosh these books are just so good and I can't believe I waited so long to read them.

I loved everything about this book. Great mental health rep, good married rep. It was excellent to see a married couple who loved each other deeply, trying and not knowing how to communicate, and then figuring it out. Loved the families getting involved. Just loved it.
