Start here: Only When It's Us (2020) — then read straight through in publication order.
The order the books were released — the default way to read the 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.
Seven: Only When It's Us, Always Only You, Ever After Always, With You Forever, Everything for You, If Only You and Only and Forever, covering all six Bergman siblings plus one extended-family romance.
