An instant USA Today bestseller First love is better the second time around. Matt Osborn had no idea coaching his five-year-old nephew’s soccer team would get him so much attention from the mothers-attention he doesn’t want now that he’s given up on love and having a family of his own. Yep, Matt’s the last of his bachelor buddies, and plans on staying that way. That is, until he finds himself … staying that way. That is, until he finds himself face-to-face with the woman who broke his heart.
Single mom Anna paused her life in England to help her father recover from an illness. She can’t afford complications, and too-hot-for-his-own-good Matt Osborn-her almost former fiance-is definitely a complication. He’s a reminder of what might have been-or should have been. That irresistible pull between them isn’t over. Not even close. But if she’s not careful, she’ll break both their hearts . . . again.

What an amazing end to an amazing series!!! I think this was my favorite book out of the 3 book series. With Matt being the last of the Bachelor Brotherhood, I loved everything coming to a close. The rekindling of old love… the growing up of characters… Anna and Matt are so adorable! My heart is full and warm after reading this perfect romance! No broken hearts here!
Loved this 3rd book in the bachelor brotherhood series. Matt and Anna are a great love story. Definitely sad this series has ended but very thankful I have read it!
This book has everything! I love that the author sends the reader on an emotional journey! We experience anger, joy, laughs, sadness, and sentimentality. I love that family is the center of this book, plus we get to enjoy so many of the characters we’ve already come to love. I highly recommend!
I absolutely love this book! Denise has done it again…I loved reading the final book to the bachelor brotherhood series.
This final book was about Matt and Anna. They had been together years ago but it just didn’t work out, they both wanted different things. They end up finding themselves being forced back into each other’s lives. But will that change the way it ended for them before? Will they be able to figure out their crazy lives together and be able to have the happy ever after they both desperately want without hurting everyone they care about?
I love how Always You had the characters from the previous books. I love how it updates you with them but their lives so you feel like you haven’t missed anything with them. This was a wonderful book and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new series.
Book three did not disappoint! I absolutely love Matt Osborn! I enjoyed hearing Matt’s story and the lovably hilarious relationship he has with his adorable nephew Ethan. His one and only true, Anna, is back in town and old feelings resurface. Turns out neither one ever really gave up on the other and strive to figure out how to make it all work. It was fun hearing from his best buddies Kevin and Tyler and their wives as well as a little hearsay on what good old grams is doing down out the community center. This book literally had me laughing out loud and I just could not put it down. Don’t miss out on some really great laugh out loud comedy and a little romance to boot!
Always You is my favorite of the Bachelor Brotherhood series and my second favorite out of the Wedding Pact series, also. This was an extremely touching story. Matt and Anna are well written and realistic characters. They both hide and show their vulnerability in such believable ways and times. Matt’s bond and relationship with Ethan and later Toby is so fantastic. Anna’s mother’s love for Toby is so touching. Every aspect of this story is touching and beautiful!
Matt is probably one of my favorite characters in this fictional world she has created. I couldn’t put the book down!
I can’t believe this is the first book I have read by this author, well it won’t be the last because I was hooked from the first chapter and it didn’t matter that I hadn’t read the previous books I still really enjoyed Always You, after all don’t we all love those second chance romances especially when we have a single parent involved, in this book we get both of those and so much more. This story is about friendships, loyalty, family and a second chance at love, the characters are strong and loveable and what can I say about those two adorable little boys who at times stole the show. Always You has the perfect mix of love, humour and not too much angst, the banter between the adults will make you smile but the one liners from the little boys will have you laughing out loud. Great read looking forward to going back and reading the previous books in this series
3.75 stars—ALWAYS YOU is the third (and final) instalment in Denise Grover Swank’s contemporary, adult BACHELOR BROTHERHOOD romance series focusing on three friends (Kevin, Tyler and Matt) who call themselves The Bachelor Brotherhood. This is construction company operator / soccer coach Matt Osborn, and single mom/international financial consultant Annaliese Fischer-Robins story line. ALWAYS YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. The Bachelor Brotherhood series is a spin off from the author’s The Wedding Pact Series but you do not need to have read the previous series to enjoy The Bachelor Brotherhood.
SOME BACKGROUND: Years earlier, best friends Matt Osborn, Tyler Norris, and Kevin Vandemeer, following three mutually disastrous relationships and breakups, loosely formed what came to be known as the Bachelor Brotherhood. Tyler and Kevin quickly found love but our hero struggled with moving forward, never forgetting about the woman that broke his heart.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Anna and Matt) ALWAYS YOU follows the rekindling romance between former lovers Anna Fischer-Robins, and Matt Osborn, whose relationship twelve years earlier was destroyed when Anna walked out of Matt’s life in order to pursue a career in international finance. Fast forward to present day, wherein Anna Fischer, now a single mother of a five year old son, returns home to help her ailing father. Registering Toby for soccer, Anna will come face to face with her past-Matt Osborn-the man whose heart she broke when she refused his proposal of marriage, and any chance at a happily ever after. What ensues is the second chance relationship between two people who have never stopped loving one another in the face of heartbreak, pain and thousands of miles of open sea, and the potential fall out when Anna’s recent past comes looking for a second chance.
Matt Osborn was destroyed the day Anna Fischer walked out of his life claiming she didn’t want marriage or children but was destined for the world of international finance overseas. Caring for his sister’s five year old son Ethan has our hero longing for a family of his own with a woman whose return to America is only temporary and fleeting. Anna’s return to US soil finds our heroine a divorced mother of one blowing all of her personal proclamations out of the water adding more anger to an already tepid situation between she and the man she once loved.
The relationship between Anna and Matt is one of second chances; a rekindling romance that quickly develops into something more but something that may only be temporary as Anna is legally obligated to return overseas. Matt’s seduction of Anna pulls our heroine closer to the man she would always love but a man, who for so long, struggled in the face of betrayal and lost love. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate.
Lanie and Tyler (Until You #2), and Kevin and Holly (Only You #1) return as secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Anna’s father Albert Fischer, her son Toby, and her ex-husband Phillip Robins; as well as Matt’s nephew Ethan, his mother, and his sister Abby Osborn.
ALWAYS YOU is a sweet story of second chances; a delightful and heart warming tale of one man’s struggle to let go of the past; and one woman’s battle to secure her future. The premise is enjoyable; the romance is tender and fated; the characters are colorful and real.
A long lost dream becomes a real life fantasy. When Anna broke Matt’s heart, she never thought she’d see him again. Amazing how time and regret can shape a life and give a person the maturity they once lacked. Matt has never gotten over the girl who broke his heart. Can he forgive the girl and accept the woman and mother she has become? Always You is a what – if story of second chances and lasting romances. A little laughter and a heartwarming happily ever after.
