If Only You

Chloe Liese’s “If Only You” is a seductive modern sports romance that incorporates some alluring clichés. It has a slow-burning transition to love, a (false) friends-with-benefits arrangement, and the traditional brother’s best friend dynamic. The protagonists of the tale are Sebastian Marchand, a hockey player with celiac disease, and Ziggy Bergman, a kind-hearted soccer player on the autism spectrum.

When they find a true connection, their phony friendship unexpectedly blossoms into a romantic partnership. Included in the Bergman Brothers series, the book chronicles the experiences of a Swedish-American family as they pursue their individual happily ever afters.
