Review - Only When It's Us by Chloe Liese
SYNOPSIS:
Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster brimming with laughter, tears, and slow-burn sexiness in this new adult romance that tackles the vulnerability of love with humor and heart.
Ryder
Ever since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter’s been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don't know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don’t need in my tidy life. She’s the next generation of women’s soccer. Wild hair, wilder eyes. Bee-stung lips that should be illegal. And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly.
She’s a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous, pain-in-the-ass who’s turned our Business Mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I'll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top…And if I have my way with that crazy-haired, ball-busting hellion, that will be in more than one sense of the word.
Willa
Rather than give me the lecture notes I missed like every other instructor I’ve had, my asshole professor tells me to get them from the silent, surly flannel-wearing mountain man sitting next to me in class. Well, I tried. And what did I get from Ryder Bergman? Ignored. What a complete lumbersexual neanderthal. Mangy beard and mangier hair. Frayed ball cap that hides his eyes. And a stubborn refusal to acknowledge my existence.
I’ve battled men before, but with Ryder, it's war. I’ll get those notes and crack that Sasquatch nut if it’s the last thing I do, then I’ll have him at my mercy. Victory will have never tasted so sweet.
Review:
Well, Chloe has gone and done it again! This book completely stole my heart and I loved it!! One thing I love about Chloe's books is that there is always an element of diversity or disability that is generally not seen in other romances. They always show that everyone is deserving of love and happily ever after.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this unique romance. Ryder (love that name!) was such a sweetheart. I loved his story and just everything about him. Willa had a lot of depth, hardship, and I appreciated how she was imperfect. She is going through a major life-changing event and Ryder is totally there for her. Their frienemy relationship and the push and pull of their desire for each other was delightful to read. I also felt that the parents in this book were so genuine and amazing. You get a full sense of the characters' lives which added a lot to the story for me.
This book is a must-read and I am so excited that Chloe plans to continue the series. I can't wait for more Bergman Brothers!
