The Czar by Selena Laurence
4.0
Mikhail Petrovich is a NHL superstar and heir to the Petrovich vodka fortune when an injury causes his hockey dreams to end. Now he spends his time with random hookups and feelings sorry for himself.
Solana Warner has landed her dream job as a junior Marketing Executive at Petrovich vodka and is super excited for what the future has in store for her. But she quickly learns about work policies that are set in place for all the women workers to stay as far away from the Petrovich sons or lose their jobs.
When a house sitting job has Solana living next door to Mikhail she sees a different side of him but is the chance of losing her job worth the risk of maybe finding love? Will Solana tell Mikhail the truth or will he find out what she is hiding on his own?
I really enjoyed this book and although it wasn't as focused on hockey as I would have initially loved everything came together so well that I can over look it!
I liked Solana and how she did work hard to obtain her dreams and meeting Mickhail was not part of the plan but a chance encounter which led to more. Yet she was not a typical girl for him and did not cater to what he wanted which was super refreshing. But she also knew that she had a limited time to really figure out what she wanted and I think Mikhail really shocked her.
So my initial opinion of Mikhail was definitely not that high as you see him with his puck bunny and his attitude was so nonchalant after getting caught by Deke with his pants down. He felt sorry for himself and was between "worlds" and expectations that people had for him. He hated his dad but a lot of that was based on the fact that they had never talked about the past.
I loved the change in Mikhail with how both Solana and Deke challenged him to be a better person and really make an impact. I loved who he ended up coaching and how he sought help on communicating better.
The chemistry between Mikhail and Solana was through the roof and I loved the scene with Mikhail's Baba which did give us an indication what was going to happen.
Such a great book and maybe one day Deke will get a book of his own!
