Chasing Charli (Alaska Blizzard Book 6) Kindle Edition
Finnish hockey star Miikka Laasonen may seem to live a charmed life, but the reality is that he's lonely. His struggle with learning the English language makes it hard for him to fit in and to make matters worse, his Finnish girlfriend tires of their long-distance relationship and dumps him.
Kindergarten teacher Charlotte “Charli” Bartosiewicz made a life-changing decision in her teens, and she’s battled guilt and regret ever since. She punishes herself by refusing to date and staying to herself because she doesn't feel worthy of love.
When introduced by a mutual friend, Miikka recognizes another lonely soul in Charli, but there’s more to it than that, something he’s never felt before. He convinces her to take a chance on him by tutoring him in English, but he really wants her to take a chance on love.
Miikka is determined to convince Charli that she's worthy of him. But even if he does, will their love be strong enough to go the distance?

About the author

USA Today Bestselling author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she's called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She's never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she'd probably choose the west coast.
Kat's a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she's not writing, she's either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) - traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach.
As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There's something enticing about hockey players and romance...

- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020I would have to say Chasing Charli is my favorite of the Alaska Blizzard series to date. You will just fall in love and swoon so hard for Miikka. He is adorable and an all around amazing guy. You really feel the sparks fly between Charli and Miikka from the very beginning. Charli is so sweet and patient with Miikka as she teaches him the English language. She really goes out of her way to make him comfortable with being able to speak publicly more. You feel the passion slowly build as they get to know each there before it starts to burn red hot. You will not be able to put this one down. The love between Charli and Miikka is hot, fast and so sweet. You feel for Charli once you see her struggle with her past. You will just love Miikka and the way he helps her work through it all. I swooned many times over in this one. I can't wait to watch more of the Blizzard men fall.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022Who is Miikka? Where is he from? Where is he going? I have loved all the Blizzard books so far and this one was no different! I have to say, if I could have given this more than 5 stars, I would have. I had laughs, anger, fear, and tears. Who are Roy and Sean? What happens when Charlotte gets a call from her mother? What do we know and learn about Charlotte? What happens when she goes to Kansas? Read and see how her world changes!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2021This storyline was so cute and let’s face it sexy too. The two main characters have so much chemistry and their bond over being shy was adorable. Can’t wait to read the next in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2020I really enjoyed Charli and Miikka’s story. In previous books, Miikka has been a minor character who is easy going and a good friend to his teammates. When Aaron had the flu in “Saving Sara,” he sat by Aaron’s bed and gave him a home remedy to help recover from the flu.
He also has difficulty speaking English and in “Chasing Charli” ask Charli (Niko’s Kindergarten teacher) to tutor him in English. From there, the sensitive Hockey player and Charli, who has a secret and wants to let go of the past, get to know each and fall in love. This book made me smile and took me away for a much needed break from today’s world. I am looking forward to the next book in this series about Miikka’s sister Tara.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2021Oh, my gosh. I thought Dani and Sergei were my favorite Blizzard couple, but I was wrong. And yes, I just wrote about fictional characters as though they were real. Charli and Miikka are so wonderful together. I did get teary a few times. Two good people who are able to work through things together instead of giving up unnecessarily. Low angst and loving steaminess. I really have loved Kat Mizera's books. Anatoli is my all time favorite, but Chasing Charli is tied for second with Dominic.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2020Kat is one of those authors who weaves her characters between her series so it’s one familial thread. It’s such fun reading. Charli and Miika are one of her sweeter couples and the story flows. Sometimes you really do need a steady force of calm to help you navigate life’s hard balls. You do not have to read the series to enjoy the story, but all the stories are fun and make you understand the threads.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2022Thanks to social media, I found this wonderful author and her series. I have now read six box in this series and purchased the other four for my kindle. Each book has wonderful strong sensitive loving men, and strong females. All with personal, emotional hardships they must work through to find their soulmate.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2020Though there was a sense of familiarity about this story I still found myself falling for these characters while their words and deeds pulled at my heartstrings. From the first page to the last Ms. Mizera took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as a woman with a past full of betrayals puts her heart on the line one last time while teaching a sweet and sexy Finnish hockey player English...which soon turns to the language of love instead.
Miikka Laasonen is a delicious hero, a talented hockey player with a kind heart. He's a true gentleman too who was recently dumped by his long distance girlfriend and is still feeling a bit lost because of it. He's the kind of player who's focused on the game, has partaken in puck bunnies from time to time in the past, but is happy to stay in the background for the most part while doing his job on the ice. He clearly struggles with English throughout the story and Ms. Mizera's depiction of his difficulties was realistic and utterly endearing, winning me over from the very start. His difficulties bind him to kindergarten teacher Charlotte “Charli” Bartosiewicz early on and from there they evolve from friends to lovers as Miikka's confidence grows. Behind his gentlemanly demeanor is a master at dirty talk, a man quite comfortable with sensuality and it made his scenes with Charli combustible. While scorching up the pages they also had to deal with her insecurities and fears, her deep-seated pain from feeling abandoned when she needed support most. Miikka's there for her through it all though, sexy and supportive, and quickly showed himself to be the quintessential book boyfriend in a relationship full of realistic highs and lows.
Charli Bartosiewicz desperately wants to move forward in life, but a painful past keeps holding her back from embracing happiness. She's clearly stuck in a rut when readers first meet her, keeping to herself while closing off chances to make friends (and more) out of fear of being left alone. Her intro to Miikka is unexpected but very fortuitous as he's just what she needs to finally move beyond her past. Their sweet and subtle friendship put a smile on my face from the very start, allowing them to grow closer in a connection that warmed my heart before the fireworks flew in a relationship that turned super steamy. Every step of the way saw Charli at war with herself, waffling between feeling empowered one moment and feeling unworthy the next. My heart ached for her during those times while I cheered each time she put herself out there. With each turn of the page Miikka was the perfect companion for her as they made each other better in a romance that shined with both tender and scorching moments.
Though this is the sixth installment in the Alaska Blizzard series it definitely stands strongly on its own with an uplifting romance full of heart and soul. With its near-perfect hero, and a realistic heroine dealing with her own emotional baggage, readers will be glued to their journey to HEA and rooting for them every step of the way. There's a beautiful balance of romance too, both as friends and as lovers, in this story set amidst the backdrop of hockey to keep fans of both themes happy. Along with this entertaining main couple was an equally strong cast of secondary characters whose connections were reminders of previous stories as well as promises of what's to come in future pairings. I enjoyed getting glimpses of Ryder and Donovan, new additions to the time, who appear to enjoy the ladies while dealing with their own uncertainties and I'm left counting down the days until their HEAs land at their feet.
