Toni Aleo, the maestro of romance, strikes gold again with her latest heartwarming tale, “Pucks and Books.” In this delightful story, Toni introduces us to Louisa McDavid, the spirited owner of Dirty Pages, a bookstore specializing in romance novels, and Ciaran Carter, a hockey player with dreams as big as his heart, who stumbles into Louisa’s bookstore and promptly sweeps her off her feet. Their unexpected encounter sets off a chain reaction of sparks, secrets, and undeniable chemistry that will have you rooting for them from page one.

Louisa is a force to be reckoned with, overcoming a challenging past to build a life on her own terms. Her love for romance novels mirrors her longing for a fairy tale ending, and when Ciaran walks into her store, he seems to embody every dreamy hero she’s ever read about. As for Ciaran, he’s more than just a hockey player; he’s a devoted reader of romance, making him the ultimate book boyfriend material. Their romance is a whirlwind of passion and intensity, fueled by their shared love of books and a desire for something more. As they navigate the challenges of their pasts and the uncertainties of their futures, readers will find themselves cheering for their happily ever after every step of the way.

Toni’s ability to infuse her stories with heart and humor, and crafting characters that feel like old friends, is no exception in this tale. From Louisa’s unwavering resilience to Ciaran’s irresistible charm, every aspect of their personalities shines through, making them utterly endearing to readers. From laugh-out-loud moments to tender, heartfelt scenes, she effortlessly captures the essence of love in all its forms. With Eliza, Elliot, Clara, the vibrant sisters, and the backdrop of the hockey world, there’s never a dull moment in this enchanting tale.

Overall, “Pucks and Books” is a delightful start to a new series that promises to capture readers’ hearts everywhere.
