Gear up for an all-the-feels, steamy slow-burn in this enemies-to-lovers sports romance about fighting for love when life's taught you it's a losing game. GavinWe've been teammates for two years, but it feels like a lifetime that Oliver Bergman's been on my last nerve. A demanding captain and veteran player, I'm feared and friendless, while he's the beloved rising star, all sunshine smiles and upbeat team spirit. To make matters worse, he's obscenely attractive. In short: he's genetically designed to get under my skin. Avoiding Oliver has been my survival tactic on and off the field. But when Coach drops the bomb that we're now co-captains, avoiding him becomes impossible, and keeping the truth from him-let alone my distance-is harder than ever. OliverLife was great until soccer legend Gavin Hayes joined the team and proved he's nothing like the guy I grew up idolizing. Instead, he's a giant-albeit gorgeous-grump who lives to rain on my parade. I've sworn off pranks since entering the public eye, so rather than settle our differences the Bergman way, I've had to settle for killing Gavin with kindness. There's just one problem: killing him with kindness is killing me. To make matters worse, Coach gives us an ultimatum: put an end to our enmity or say goodbye to being captains. I'm prepared to be miserable while we meet her demands and make nice, but the last thing I expect is to discover an explosive attraction we can't help but act on, and worse yet, to realize the man hiding beneath Gavin's gruff exterior is all I've ever wanted. Everything for You is a grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, age gap sports romance about an upbeat rising soccer star with anxiety and his curmudgeonly veteran teammate who lives with chronic pain. Complete with nosy senior citizens, nosier siblings, and a meddling coach, this standalone slow burn is the fifth in a series of novels about a Swedish-American family of five brothers, two sisters, and their wild adventures as they each find happily ever after.

"Dual POV. I love Oliver and Gavin!! The enemies to lovers added great tension throughout! This was a very fun read. The last 1/4 felt a little rushed because I wanted them to spend more time in love but overall it was great. I loved the found family element for Gavin. I wished there was more of it! Again, Chloe Liese had great representation in her books this one focuses on anxiety as well as chromic pain. There is some spice. It's a pretty slow burn but has good tension and more spice at the end! 2-2.5/5 spice level. Can't recommend this series enough. They just make you feel happy! "
"This book is perfection and hereâs why:
1. The Bergman family is back!
2. Oliver is so freaking cute!
3. Gavin reminds me of Roy Kent in Ted Lasso
4. The chemistry is off the charts (3/5 for đ¶)
5. Queer love relationship representation - even mentioning how important visibility of âoutâ celebrities is
6. Anxiety and panic attack representation - as someone who has anxiety and panic attacks I can vouch for how well done this was and how appreciated it was
7. So many cute moments and funny moments
8. Age-gap romance done well without it being creepy
Chloe Liese is so good at writing stories for everyone with so many different abilities and disabilities shown and represented well. This book was just another example of her perfection."

"I found my perfect match! Donât get me wrong, Iâve loved every Bergman story so far, and Iâve identified with people and situations in each one, but I havenât found the character that is unequivocally me.<br/><br/>Spoiler alert: itâs Oliver. I am Ollie with an A, right down to the Best of Broadway playlists, flying anxiety (and general as well), propensity to wear bright colors, self prescribed pressure to be âperfectâ despite a supportive family, and relentless positivity because someone should be that for the world and it might as well be me. Everything from his need to connect and make others feels seen to the damaging inner dialogue was so spot on; Iâve truly never felt more seen in a book.<br/><br/>Iâm not sure how Chloe Liese does it, but she really has dedicated her writing to making sure everyone gets a happy ending, and she does is SO WELL. I continue to be obsessed and I canât wait for the new release coming up!"
