Book Blurb:
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.Add the book to Goodreads

Review Copy Provided by Author
Can I confess something? I was nervous - with a capital N - going into this book based on the blurb. A hockey player crushing hard on his teammates wife? That was coming close to an idea I have a hard time with - cheating.
But, I have recently discovered Ms Rothert and trusted book friends said how good this was, so I had to give it a chance. I’m so glad I did because Anton wasn’t anything like I thought it would be and i loved every minute.
For starters - this is not a cheating book. This is a book about changes and fresh starts. Mia is in the process of starting over after leaving her ex and it hasn’t been easy when Anton stumbles across her at work.
Well written, Anton is really a sweet story of an unrequited crush turning into a friendship that blossoms into so much more. As he and Mia got to know each other, it was interesting to see Mia relearn what a truly good man looked like and to see all of the ways he worked to show her who he really was.
The supporting cast here is relatively small, but I enjoyed getting to know/ am curious about several of them. I want to know more about Mia’s roommate, Anton’s team mates, and especially his twin Alexei.
This is a good example of how a book that makes you a little uncomfortable turns into a great read, and a perfect example of why not to judge a book by its cover - or blurb.
