Alexei
I guess the party’s over—for now.
When I wake up in the hospital after a DUI car crash, my new NHL team owner gives me an ultimatum – get sober or get packed for the minor leagues. So I talk the talk and go to rehab. I plan to breeze through, get sprung in 30 days or less and hit the road with my new team, the Chicago Blaze. All I have to do is charm my attractive, uptight rehab group leader into thinking I’ve changed—how hard could it be?
Graysen
I see right through Alexei Petrov.
My calling to save addicts from themselves before they self-destruct is deeply personal. Alexei’s hot and successful, sure. But he’s not okay, and he’s got a lot of work to do before graduating from my group. No one’s ever tested my boundaries like he does, though. I fight my desire and keep things professional, because the stakes couldn’t be higher—it’s not just my job that’s on the line, but also his life. The deeper we fall, though, the more he makes me question the mantra I live by: never trust your heart to an addict.

Review Copy Provided by Author
Confession time: I have consistently enjoyed Ms Rothert’s Chicago Blaze series, but I wasn’t sure how I felt about Alexei being a hero. I was even less sure about the idea of his therapist being his romantic leading lady.
I should have known better and known to trust Ms Rothert to deliver a thoughtful book that respected Alexei’s journey, Graysen’s role in that journey, and the blossoming relationship between to two.
What I’ve seen of Alexei in previous books, I didn’t really like. The glimpses we saw of his inner thought process as he went through rehab gave us clues as to why. I appreciated the way he committed to the process, worked to repair relationships, and stuck to his guns to be successful. It didn’t take long for me to not only start liking Alexei, but to start respecting him too.
Graysen was a character that I liked and rooted for from the beginning. I liked how she put someone else’s long term success ahead of her own short term desires.
While Alexei was a book I went into with a few concerns, I came out the other side with a warm and fuzzy feeling. A book about a hockey bad boy turned into a book about repairing relationships and forging new paths, setting aside old wounds and creating new bonds. It’s a definite must read.
