Anton

Chicago Blaze Series, Book 1

By: Brenda Rothert

Narrated by: Erik Bloomquist, Madeleine Dauer

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.

Contains mature themes.

Hockey Romance ❤️💍🏒💙

I like that Anton is so devoted to Mia, even when they aren’t together, or it doesn’t seem like it can happen. It’s easy to write books about playboys, it’s more to make them sensitive, caring men.

Both of them are examples of people who come back after hard times and loss. I like how Mia is a combination of strong and vulnerable. It’s easy to see how women can fall into a bad situation based on shame.

It’s a good ending, and the characters are some I’d want to see more of.

The narrators do a good job.

gay best friend

good book but the male charrector sounds more like the gay bestfriend than the sexy hot main charector. he has a nice voice and is an amazing charector but i had to fight to stay into it.

good read

I enjoyed the read. story line was good and narration was ok. I did tear up during one part. good read asl long as it is free.

Story good. Female Narration weak

I liked the story of love and hope. Sweet story that wanted more. Looking forward to seeing how the story expands and characters develop

Motivational and heartwarming

Love the characters, especially Uncle Dicks. I am motivated by the story and felt the love between the two main characters.
