Always Only You by Chloe Liese
4.0
The second of the Bergman Brothers series, this one focuses on hockey player Ren, and Frankie who is the social media coordinator for the team.
Ren is a social media darling, who swears in Shakespeare and would never dream of causing a scandal. He’s also been pining for Frankie for years, quietly because of boundaries and fraternization rules.
After years of feeling smothered by well meaning family due to health concerns (rheumatoid arthritis and autism rep) Frankie moved across` the country to work for the team and become fiercely independent in the process. But now it’s time to move up, as she’s been accepted to law school as the first step of becoming a sports agent.
Will Ren finally make a move, since soon it won’t be forbidden anymore?
I really liked this one, even if Ren seemed too pure to fit the typical hockey player mold (not to mention a shocking lack of superstitiousness) it was nice to see the Bergmans pull another one into their fold, and to see how valuable her knowledge and experiences being autistic were with their recently diagnosed family member.
The golden retriever (him) and Black Cat (her) energy balanced really well, and actual dog character Pazza was so sweet
I loved the epilogue, and getting to see how they were together further down the line. The moment after Shakespeare in the park was perfect.
