This was an incredibly sweet book. Try as he might, Axel Bergman is not just a grumpy hermit. He's an ooey, gooey lovey! We love our cantankerous grumps that aren't actually that grumpy!

I liked the inclusion of IBS rep in this book - so many people live with chronic illness and we certainly do not see enough representation in our media.

What did not work for me was the marriage-of-convenience plot device. I feel like these characters did not need that added to their forced proximity device. So much felt authentic between Axel and Rooney except the marriage bit.

As always, I am looking forward to the next in the Bergman siblings series!… (plus d'informations)

Oh man, this romance novel was deep af. If you've been in a relationship with someone for several years, this may feel scarily accurate! It reminded me some-what of the movie "Blue Valentine", about a couple as their relationship falls apart. "Blue Valentine" was WAY more upsetting, but the authenticity of "Ever After Always" is similar.

If you enjoyed the first two books in this series, you will enjoy this one as well, but be prepared for all kinds of feels! I can't wait for more of this family!!

*PS* I love all the references to Roman novels being awesome and totally okay for men-folk to enjoy!… (plus d'informations)
