It’s an office romance on the ice rink in this heart melting story about love’s power not in spite of difference but because of it. Ren has known Frankie Zeferino was a woman worth waiting for since the moment they met. She’s a master of deadpan delivery, has a secret heart of gold, and a rare one-dimpled smile that makes his knees go weak. But as long as Frankie’s the team’s social media manager, she’s off limits. Frankie is a self-admittedly blunt, grumbly grump, but even she isn’t immune to sunshiney Ren Bergman. Who could be, when he’s a six-foot-three hunk of happy with a hockey player’s physique? Maybe in the past, Frankie would have gone for a guy like him, but since being burned too many times by people who learn about her diagnoses and see a problem, not a person, she’s wised up. After waiting years for the right time to make his move, Ren learns Frankie plans to leave the team to pursue a new career. But what he didn’t anticipate is how hard he’ll have to work to convince her to let him have his shot at winning her heart.

Chloe Liese is at it again, you guys! Her newest release in the Bergman Brothers Series, Always Only You, was so worth the wait. I went into this one super excited to read Ren’s story after meeting him in Only When It’s Us. A totally lovable, quirky, inexperienced hockey player... sign me up!
09.71/10 or 5/5! Such a great read! I loved the rep in this one. Also, the Grumpy FMC X Sunshine MMC was just fabulous.

Oh boy did I love Frankie and Ren. They were so much fun to read about, and it was clear that Chloe Liese out a lot of heart into these characters. They both had their quirks, and they both had their flaws on the page which I loved seeing. They were sweet, and I loved the supporting characters as well. Also, Frankie's dog Paza is a delight.
