The Plot (from Goodreads):
Viggo Bergman, hopeless romantic, is thoroughly weary of waiting for his happily ever after. But between opening a romance bookstore, running a romance book club, coaching kids’ soccer, and adopting a household of pets—just maybe, he’s overcommitted himself?—Viggo’s chaotic life has made finding his forever love seem downright improbable.
Enter Tallulah Clarke, chilly cynic with a massive case of writer’s block. Tallulah needs help with her thriller’s romantic subplot. Viggo needs another pair of hands to keep his store afloat. So they agree to swap skills and cohabitate for convenience—his romance expertise to revive her book, her organizational prowess to salvage his store. They hardly get along, and they couldn’t be more different, but who says roommate-coworkers need to be friends?
As they share a home and life, Tallulah and Viggo discover a connection that challenges everything they believe about love, and reveals the plot twist they never saw happily ever after is here already, right under their roof.
My Review:
Thank you to @berkleyromance for this gifted eARC! I’ve been hearing ALL about the Bergman brothers series, so when Berkley invited me to this blog tour I knew it was time to jump on the hype train. Luckily the whole preceding series was available on Hoopla!
Only and Forever is the final installment of this seven-book series. Fans have known Viggo for years, and it’s so satisfying to see him finally get his own love story. He’s the sweetest (I love a man unafraid to read romance books!) so it was well beyond time!
Roommance/forced proximity is one of my favorite tropes, and this series ended on such a high note. As always with Chloe’s books, the representation is handled with such care. I love how she makes under-represented readers feel so seen!
I loved this wrap-up to this well-loved series, and know other readers will too. now to go back and post reviews for all the preceding books!
