IF ONLY YOU is a brother's best friend, (fake) friends with benefits to friends to lovers romance about a bighearted, quietly fierce soccer star on the autism spectrum, and a thoroughly unprincipled, almost irredeemable hockey player who has celiac disease. Complete with an absurd level of mutual pining, meddling family and friends, and a spicy slow burn, this standalone is the sixth 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.

The rest of the family was so not annoying in this!!! I love to see an autistic woman get her broody tattooed bad boy love interest who truly sees her and does not infantilize or let anyone else see her for less than who she is- a nuanced, loving person who will call you on your ish and can handle her manyyy rambunctious brothers. This might be my fav but I wish it was more spicy, seems to be the least spicy of the series.

now this is how you do he falls first AND harder.

I adore this series, and I've always had a soft spot for Ziggy, so I've been eagerly awaiting her book. I love a friends-to-lovers trope, and who doesn't love a bad-boy-falls-for-the-good-girl trope? I was sold from the get-go. Ziggy and Sebastian's relationship was adorable. I loved watching them bicker. They brought out the best in one another, which was so sweet. I loved seeing Ziggy become more confident and sure of herself, and Sebastian learns to be tender and vulnerable. As always, I love how much representation there was. Both our main characters are queer, one has autism, and the other has celiac disease. No matter who or what you are, you can always feel seen in Liese's books. If you enjoy more of a slow-burn romance, I'd recommend picking this one up.

A longtime good girl and unapologetic bad boy score the love of their life when they least expect to in this swoony, slow-burn sports romance. Ziggy Bergman is tired of being underestimated. Sure, she’s the youngest player on the National Soccer team and the baby of the family, but that doesn’t mean she still deserves to be treated like a kid. It’s time for her angelic image to get a makeover. What better way to do that than hanging out with trouble incarnate and her brother’s best friend, Sebastian Gauthier? Sebastian has hit rock bottom. His hockey career and sponsorships are in jeopardy of ending if something doesn’t give. Seb’s not willing to actually change his destructive ways, but he’s happy to pretend he’s a reformed reprobate by faking a friendship for publicity with sweet, shy Ziggy Bergman. When faking starts to feel real, Ziggy and Seb discover an unexpected friendship they’re happy to hold on to. At least, until their once-fake friendship becomes the most loving, empowering relationship they’ve ever known, and the end goal—for both of them—changes.
