Title: Anton
Series: Chicago Blaze, One
Author: Brenda Rothert
Genre: Hockey Romance
Book Description:
He’s known as Father Anton to his teammates—the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL’s Chicago Blaze has a reputation for…not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov’s on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She’s his teammate’s wife, after all.
Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she’s finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she’s been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn’t plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can’t demand a divorce with such a high cost.
A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he’d get. And while she’s drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia’s leery about playing with fire. That’s all Anton has ever known for Mia, though—a living, burning desire that won’t be denied—no matter the cost.

My Review:
Oh my goodness I feel like its been an extremely long time since I've read anything by Mrs. Rothert. I mean anything good. Don't get me wrong, I think all of her books are wonderful. But her hockey books are what got me into this author in the first place, and I've really missed her hockey books. Anyways it just feels like its been an extremely long time since we last got a hockey book from her and I'm so happy that she's back writing them.
I really liked Anton. I thought he was sweet, kind, generous, caring. I loved his relationship with his twin brother. I also loved his relationship with his honorary Uncle Dix. I loved how he didn't pressure Mia to be in a relationship, but was just there for her.
I really enjoyed Mia. She's a woman who is just trying to find a way to make it on her own two feet, while trying to stay as far away from her arsehole husband as she can. I loved that even with all the bullshyt her husband was putting her through, she stood tall and strong.
I really enjoyed this book. I really enjoyed Anton and Mia. I found myself laughing and crying throughout the book. And it held my attention from start to finish. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
I'm giving this book 4 Stars out of 5!!!!
