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.

Review

For me a book is not only about how much sex the author can write between the pages and how many times the two main characters hook up, but about their journey and the road blocks they have to conquer to finally get their HEA. Anton is one of those books, don't get me wrong, they are plenty of sexy times, and the reader will soon realize that Mr. Petrov wasn't such a saint after all.

When Mia Marceu married her husband she thought he was her prince, the man she'll be forever with, but he turned out to be a devil in disguise instead. Mia leaves him in order to find herself again and start living the life she deserves. Anton Petrov had an encounter with Mia a few years back and he knew right then and there that he couldn't have her, but his attraction to her only grew as time went by. After a chance encounter, could Anton have the chance he's been hoping with with Mia and be the man she needs to see her soar?

Rothert wrote realistic characters that are dealing with things that any of us could be facing at any given time of our lives. Perhaps because Anton and Mia respect each other and let the other deal with their issues without pushing, I liked them even more. Anton is compassionate, caring and protective with those he loves. His relationship with his brother and uncle Dix proved the kind of man he is even more. Mia is a survivor through and through, she's trying to navigate life the best she can with the hand she's been dealt. I loved her fighting spirit and her devoted love for her grandfather. And if there is one character in this book that completely took me by surprised and I LOVED, is uncle Dix. What a fantastic, delightful guy to get to know.

Anton brings laughs, angst, sensuality, tears, and the feeling of wanting to throw your Kindle against the wall with all you have. A fresh beginning to the Chicago Blaze series. Highly recommended!!!
