Riggs McCoy
The last thing a Scottish man like me is accustomed to is perpetual sunshine. But Clara McDavid is a ray of light with a bright personality and an unstoppable smile who threatens to chase away all the clouds and gloom I prefer to surround myself with. And I need her. To watch my dogs, that is. Just that.
I thought I would be okay with her sleeping in my bed while I was out of town coaching my hockey team to a championship. But one look at her on the camera I forgot I set up, and I know immediately that I want to be right beside her. Forever.
Clara McDavid
I’ve always had a thing for older guys. And Riggs McCoy ticks every box on a list I didn’t even realize I’d written. But he only wants me to dog-sit. Not make myself at home in his house.
Even after watching all four of my older sisters rush the ice for their hockey player lovers, I never thought I’d want the boys’ grumpy coach for myself. But being wrong has never felt oh-so right.

Age Gap Hockey Romance
Toni Aleo wraps up her Knoxville Bears series with an emotional, heartfelt, and sizzling romance in Pucks and Pups. This age-gap love story between hockey coach Riggs McCoy and the spirited Clara McDavid brings all the drama, passion, and beloved characters fans have come to expect from Aleoâs world.Riggs McCoy is a man with a closed-off heart after his messy divorce fourteen years ago. At the same time, Clara McDavid is young, independent, and fiercely determined to live her life on her own terms. After escaping a cult with her sisters in her youth, Clara is now thriving as the owner of a dog-sitting resort.The chemistry between Riggs and Clara sizzles from the start, though they must keep their relationship under wrapsâespecially since Clara is the last single granddaughter of Riggs’ boss, adding another layer of tension. As Riggs juggles the pressures of the hockey playoffs, Clara pushes him to reconsider his stance on love and the walls heâs built around his heart. Their journey is filled with steamy romance, heartwarming moments, and a healthy dose of humor as Aleo deftly explores themes of healing, trust, and second chances.What makes Pucks and Pups especially compelling is how Toni Aleo seamlessly weaves heavy, relatable topics like personal growth, trauma recovery, and the struggle for self-love into a traditional romance plot. Claraâs backstory of escaping a cult and carving out her own life is both inspiring and empowering. The novel doesnât shy away from showcasing how difficult the road to a happily-ever-after can be, making the final payoff all the sweeter.For long-time fans, this book also offers delightful appearances from beloved characters from previous installments, adding a sense of nostalgia and closure to the series. Pucks and Pups stands out as my favorite of the Knoxville Bears series for its emotional depth, realistic portrayal of lifeâs challenges, and the powerful connection between Riggs and Clara.Toni Aleo has delivered a fitting, heartfelt conclusion to a beloved series that will leave readers satisfied, yet sad to say goodbye to the Knoxville Bears.

Must-have hot hockey romance
3.5 stars, rounded to 4I have really liked this series. It’s set near Knoxville (TN) – a beautiful area of the country. The McDavid sisters have a compelling story, and there are enough differences between their romances that it makes for good, steamy fun. I knew that this one – concerning the youngest sister Clara and the coach of the Knoxville Bears AHL team Riggs – had a lot of spice and it did not disappoint. My only issue was with the whole Daddy / Baby Girl stuff. For me, it came off slightly icky. Please don’t get me wrong – I enjoyed the age difference (she’s early 20s and he’s mid-30s) and their dominance play was off the charts steamy. I just couldn’t see Clara enjoying the daddy/baby stuff considering the abuse that she and her sisters suffered while trapped in the cult.This book was a great conclusion to the entire story arc. You don’t need to read these in series order to understand what’s happening – there’s plenty of backstory to get you up to speed. But for me the best way to appreciate it is to read them ALL! The romance between Clara and Riggs was a great way to bring this series full circle. Clara breaks down Riggs’ defenses and worms her way into his heart. She starts by taking care of his dogs and eventually gets under his skin. Once they come together, the sparks fly.A great conclusion to this spin-off series!
