Everything for You is the fifth book in a loosely tied together series about the Bergman Brothers. I heard good things about this particular installment in the series because it did not involve one of the romance tropes that I loathe, so I dove in despite not reading the other books in the series. I knew they could be read as standalone, but I did struggle at first orienting myself to the secondary characters. This installment focuses on Oliver, a young pro soccer player and Gavin, an older soccer player on his team that he butts heads with. It's got the tropes- sunshine/grump, enemies/lovers, etc. but it works overall. Perhaps because I recently watched Ted Lasso, I definitely got a Roy Kent vibe from Gavin. When their coach throws them together to be co-captains, they must learn to work together. Oh, did I mention they are also next door neighbors? It's cute and spicy, and an enjoyable quick read. What made me enjoy more than many romances I've read is both men were good with communicating with one another. Was there expected ups and downs and obstacles to their relationship? Of course, but it wasn't due to the lack of talking to one another. It was refreshing. Will I read more of the books in the series? Perhaps though the other characters really were side characters and I wasn't invested in their tales.
