Anton by Brenda Rothert
4.0
This book was given to me free in exchange for an honest review
Anton is the captain of the hockey team who remains celibate for two years after falling for his teammate Adam’s wife, Mia. Mia meanwhile finds out her husband is a total dick and is desperately trying to divorce him but he is blackmailing her with threats not to pay her grandpa’s Alzheimer’s carehome bills each month.
This was pretty grim in parts. Mia’s ex, Adam, was such a total dickwad that I failed to see how he ever could have even faked being nice. Mia was valiantly trying to right her own wrong of basically letting herself become so dependent on a man by going back to school and working in a bar. I loved the message the storyline gave out.
So true! Go girrrrrrl!
I liked Anton and Mia. The slowburn was good and created delicious tension. I was allllll in. But I loved Anton’s uncle Dix the most. He was a great character.
He reminded me of grandpa Simpson.
Why did I drop one star?
Purely because Adam felt a little too bad to be true and because I felt a bit like Mia never caught a break and because people you like die in the book. Sorry guys, but I just don’t want that kind of sadness in my romance.
I am still giving it 4 stars though as I devoured it.

I never want to be completely dependent on a man again. Any man.
