  1. Only When It's Us

    Novel
    Only When It's Us opened Chloe Liese's Bergman Brothers series on March 27, 2020, at 384 pages.

  2. Always Only You

    Novel
    Always Only You arrived just over four months later, on August 4, 2020, matching Only When It's Us at 384 pages exactly. Like its predecessor, it draws on Chloe Liese's own-voices approach to neurodivergent and chronic-illness representation, woven into the Bergman family's loud, affectionate dynamic rather than treated as a plot twist.

  5. Everything for You

    Novel
    Everything for You was published May 10, 2022, at 365 pages, the shortest book in the series so far. It keeps the series' own-voices thread intact, following another Bergman sibling's romance shaped by Liese's lived experience with disability and neurodivergence.

  6. If Only You

    Novel
    Nearly a year later, If Only You released April 11, 2023, again running 384 pages -- the fourth book in this series to hit that exact count. It continues the same rotating cast of Bergman siblings and tropes -- second-chance, marriage-of-convenience, roommate romance -- that define the series.

  7. Only and Forever

    Novel
    Only and Forever closed the series on April 2, 2024, almost exactly a year after If Only You, at 368 pages. It closes out the six-sibling arc (plus one honorary Bergman) that Liese built the series around, returning one last time to the family's Christmas dinners and hockey games.

About the Bergman Brothers series

The Bergman Brothers follows the six adult siblings (plus one honorary sister-in-law-to-be) of a close-knit, hockey-and-music-loving Minnesota family, each getting their own full-length contemporary romance. Chloe Liese writes with a strong own-voices thread: several books feature neurodivergent leads (autism, ADHD) and chronic-illness or disability representation drawn from Liese's own life, handled with care rather than as a plot twist. Tropes rotate through the family — enemies-to-lovers, office romance, marriage-of-convenience, second-chance, rivals-to-lovers, roommate romance — but the throughline is the Bergmans' loud, affectionate, occasionally overbearing family dynamic, which keeps pulling every book back to the same Christmas dinners and hockey games.

The series is frequently cited alongside Liese's own Wilmot Sisters duology as a gateway into cozy-but-steamy sports-adjacent romance with genuine emotional depth: expect banter, spice, and neurodivergent-affirming representation rather than pure hockey-team drama.
