Kat Mizera scores with Chasing Charli (Alaska Blizzard #6). Winger Mikka Laasonen and Kindegarten teacher Charlotte (Charli) Bartosiewicz’s lives are changed after meeting each other when helping to fix a flat tire. The story takes place in Alaska, Finland, and Kansas. It is suitable for adult readers.

Kat Mizera does a great job with her character development. Charli had a difficult teenage life. She has made sacrifices. She is a shy but strong heroine. Mikka is a terrific guy. He is sweet and will go to great lengths for the people he loves. I love that Charli taught Mikka English. She is a good teacher.

I enjoyed the plot. This story covers topics of teenage pregnancy, language barriers, and trust issues. It uncovers truths and demonstrates what a detriment lack of communication can be.

CHASING CHARLI is a worthy addition to the Alaska Blizzard series. It had a nice mix of the old and new characters. I like that it is from the point of view of a hockey team that is struggling with issues. It seems like most hockey romances are about winning teams. Let’s face it, there are a lot more teams that do not win. I look forward to the next book in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )
