Synopsis

Sometimes it takes a child to remind us that love and family are rarely perfect but an accepting heart can smooth out the imperfections.

Mike Kneller-Mettler’s life has certainly been on the fast track upward since he met his husband, Bryn. Now married for nearly a year to the starting goalie for the Pittsburgh Ravens, Mike’s found himself propelled into a new home, a new career, and a new role as loving spouse. As his baby sister’s wedding approaches, Mike is going to be faced with a couple of monumental decisions that will affect not only his future, but the everyone he holds close to his heart.

Bryn Mettler and his team haven’t had the best ending to their season. Nursing a recurring groin injury, Bryn isn’t quite sure he’s ready for wedding chaos. But, the nuptials are going to go off whether he’s able to dance with the bride or not. Amid the usual insanity that every wedding brings, unexpected guests show up to throw the beautifully planned affair into turmoil. As the adults slip into childish behavior, it might be up to Liam to be the voice of reason.

I laughed and I cried.

The According to Liam series just might be my favorite from V.L. Locey. The books are witty and emotional and I have loved all of them. This latest installment, Love According to Liam, had my emotions all over the place. I don’t really think you can easily read this book as a standalone. You need to at least read Life According to Liam first.

In Chapter 2 there’s this scene where Mike is at work and is talking on the phone with his husband, Bryn. They’re having a lively, very spicy conversation involving a Brahma bull reference which is overheard by one of Mike’s coworkers. I’d quote it here but you really need to read it in context. Anyway, I thought I’d die laughing when I read that scene.

Later on in the story things get quite emotional when Mike’s parents want to come back into his sister’s life and attend her wedding. They also want to try and make up for the hurt that they caused Mike. So many of the scenes that follow are heartbreaking. Mike is feeling betrayed and devastated when he finds out that his sister has been in touch with their parents.

It’s been a while since a book made me laugh so hard and then later had me nearly sobbing. (OK, I cry a lot when I read books. 😊) I can’t recommend this series highly enough. Liam is super precious but his two uncles are pretty great, too. I’m really looking forward to the next book; I just wish I didn’t have to wait 6 months for it. ❤
