This may be the best marriage in crises story I’ve ever read! I rarely pick second chance romances because I’m such a cynical human being and I kinda don’t believe in them, but this book made even a cynical like me feel things! And oh how I felt every single emotion! That’s why Chloe Liese became an auto read author for me. Complete with island vacation antics, a sibling prank gone wrong, and a steamy slow burn, this standalone is the third 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. Ever After Always is a marriage-in-crisis, opposites-attract romance about a sensitive, fierce-loving woman and her resilient husband who has anxiety disorder. I just can’t help worrying, when we leave paradise and return to the real world, will trouble find us again? Despite my meddling siblings and a week in each other’s constant company, this trip somehow gets us working through the trouble in paradise.

Now Aiden is quiet and withdrawn, and as the months wear on, the pain of our growing distance becomes too much.Īs if weathering marriage counseling wasn’t enough, we’re thrown together for an island getaway to celebrate my parents’ many years of perfect marriage while ours is on the brink of collapse. Until one day I realize the man I married is nowhere to be found. He’s my partner and best friend, the person I know I can count on most. I love my cautious, hard-working husband. Now it’s the fight of a lifetime to save our marriage.

With the pressure of providing and planning for a family, my anxiety’s at an all-time high, and I find myself pulling away, terrified to tell my wife how I’m struggling.
