After a mix-up at the fertility clinic, two couples are forever changed when their lives suddenly collide.

“The Retrieval Duet is an emotionally-gripping, twisty ride punctuated by intense chemistry and the hottest alpha male I’ve read in ages!” -New York Times Bestselling Author Meghan March

RETRIEVAL

One date.

That was all it took for me to know Elisabeth was my soul mate.

Five years, countless infertility treatments, and the loss of our only son.

That was what it took for me to lose her.

One phone call, a mix-up at the lab, and a little girl neither of us knew existed.

That was the hell it took to bring her back to me.

And this time, I wasn’t letting go.

This is the story of how I took back what had always been mine.

The retrieval of my wife and my family.

TRANSFER

I married a monster.

What started out as romance ended in hell.

My sole job in life was to protect our daughter.

Until a police officer informed me of a mix-up at the lab.

My little girl was the only thing keeping me alive.

And I didn’t even know if she was mine.

This is the story of how I escaped the man who thought he owned me.

Anton by Brenda Rothert

Chicago Blaze, #1

AVAILABLE NOW

Amazon | Nook | Kobo | Apple Books

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.

My Review

I loved Brenda Rothert’s Fire On Ice series, so it was a no brainer for me to dive into her newest hockey romance about Anton Petrov, captain of the Chicago Blaze and all-around good guy. Anton is an atypical professional athlete – one who his teammates call ‘Father Anton’ due to his strict regiment and clean living lifestyle. There’s a litany of reasons why Anton thrives on structure and routine, and while his teammates give him shit for how he chooses to live, there’s not much that can throw him off his game, except for maybe a certain beautiful woman who’s owned his heart and his body since he first met her almost three years ago. The problem with his feelings, though, is the fact that Mia Marceau belongs to another man, her husband of eight years, who just so happens to be one of Anton’s teammates. 

The life that Mia Marceau envisioned when she said ‘I do’ is definitely not the life she’s living; at 29 years old, she’s separated from her husband, working at a bar, and attempting to finish her degree all on her own with very little money. In her mind, the strong, confident, and independent woman she was is no longer present due to her estranged husband’s abuse and neglect and finding herself again, amidst the pain, the heartache, the self-doubt, and the bitterness is a battle, but it’s one that Anton is going to help make happen.

The fact that Anton doesn’t cross the line while Mia is still married proves just how honorable he is and the way things play out between Anton and Mia – their friendship, their growing connection, his ability to know exactly what to do and say to make her see herself as he sees her – makes everything about him that much sweeter and it makes the payoff in the end everything I wanted and needed it to be.

Anton’s Uncle Nix is a great secondary character. I love his interactions with Anton and his twin brother, Alexei, and as ornery and foul-mouthed Nix is, once Mia is in charge of his care, readers get to know the other side of Nix and how the bond he created with Mia helped them both.

There are quite a few hockey hunks’ stories I’m eager to read, but the one I’m hoping to see soon is Anton’s brother. He needs to be put in check by a sassy and sweet heroine who gives as good as she gets!

About J. BENGTSSON

A professional stay-at-home-mom for twenty-one years, Jill started her writing career in 2016 after reading a really bad rockstar romance. Although she had no previous writing experience and no desire to become an author, Jill was convinced she could write a better story.

And so began Cake: A Love Story. She wrote the novel for fun and added every single thing she’d ever wanted to read in a romance. Embarrassed by her newfound hobby, Jill kept her writing a secret from her family.

When the story was complete, she turned to Amazon to get the feedback she desired. Not thinking the book would ever sell, Jill planned to pull Cake off Amazon once it got a review or two but that never happened because, within a week of its release, Cake began to soar up the bestseller charts. Not only was Jill shocked by Cake’s success but now she had a whole new burgeoning career on her hands…and some explaining to do. Needless to say, the news of Jill’s secret book bay came as a complete shock to her husband and three children.

Jill is now a full-time writer.

More Than Tempt You, an all-new, sexy standalone from New York Times bestselling author Shayla Black is coming April 30th

I romanced her for revenge…but what if she’s not the enemy after all?

I’m Clint Holmes. I was an ambitious guy with a busy life and a growing business. Sure North Dakota wasn’t a tropical paradise, but I was happy enough—until tragedy struck. Now the only thing that matters is finding the person responsible and making her pay. But Bethany Banks is a Harvard-educated shark used to swallowing her enemies whole while playing dangerous corporate games. How can a blue-collar oil man like me possibly beat her?

The moment I lay eyes on my beautiful nemesis, the answer is obvious. I seduce her.

On Maui, where she’s fled, I get to know the man-eater who caused my family so much pain…only to find she’s not the brazen ballbuster I assumed. She’s skittish, secretive, vulnerable. For some reason, my instinct is to protect her. I can’t abandon my plan…but I can’t stop wanting her. Night after night, I pry her open with my touch until I’m drowning in our passion. Soon, I’m questioning everything, especially the fine line between love and hate. But when the past comes back to wreak vengeance and the truth explodes, can I prove that I’m more than tempted to love her forever?

My Review

“Are you sure?” Because she isn’t acting like it.

“Yeah, this will solve the questioning.” That doesn’t sound so great.

I rock back on my heels. “About?”

Splotches of red stain her cheeks. “Ah, well… if this,” she motions between us, “was heading in a romantic direction.”

I feel the blood drain from my face. “What do you mean?”

“If we’re living together, the potential of us dating is zippo. We’ll be roommates and friends, but that’s all. Otherwise it will be awkward and tense and blah. No, thanks. Setting this boundary will cut out the possibility.”

I choke on the brick lodged in my throat. “Wait, what?”

“Can you imagine the mess we’d be stuck in if things went sour? Better to not chance it, right?”

No.

No, no, no.

I blink slowly, trying to process her words. Is this an unwritten rule I wasn’t aware of? And what, now I’m trapped in the friend-zone? I avert my eyes, glaring at a neon sign stuck to the far wall. An outcome that doesn’t involve us as a couple seems impossible. I rapidly search for a counter-argument, begging for a way out of this mess.

What the hell happens now?

Blurb

I’m an all-or-nothing man—100 percent focused on whatever has my attention.

First it was serving my country in the Special Forces. Then it was building my business. Right now it’s the hot blonde at the bar who’s about to become another notch on my bedpost.

But women never keep my attention for more than a night.

Until I peel off Skylar Anderson’s clothes and her mask starts to crumble, showing me glimpses of the girl she’s hiding. She’s funny, sexy and vulnerable and throws me out of bed before I can catch my breath and suggest breakfast.

When I start my last undercover job on a yacht, turns out, she’s one of the crew. I try, but I can’t look away.

Her high ponytail shows off her kissable neck that tastes like summer.

Her short uniform reveals the killer legs that were wrapped around me last night.

And her provocative smile? I know what that mouth is capable of.

I want to explore her body, discover her secrets and sail off into the sunset with her.

I might want to go all in for Skylar, but she should stay away from me. I’ve got secrets of my own and they can only bring her trouble.

♦ ♦ ♦

In a world plagued by constant earthquakes and volcanic debris, people in the valley struggle to survive while those on top of the hill want for nothing.

This is where I come in.

I spend my nights plundering supplies in the walled city of Hilltop, and I trade them to the valley people below. I’m not a thief. I prefer to be known as the head of Lost and Found.

When I discover a beautiful but dangerous competitor in my territory, I also learn she knows more about me than she should. Is she a spy sent by my father, or is she a rebel like me? I don’t trust her, but together we’ll discover secrets that may destroy what’s left of our world.

There have always been those with wealth and those without.

My name is Talen, and I’m here to even the score.
