Review: His Accidental Daddy by Luna David

 His Accidental Daddy is a mm full length novel about two men that get in a car accident which leads to them falling in love.

Asher lives in fear. Terrified of driving, interacting with people, doing nearly anything except working at a garden center and staying home. His health problems and neglectful parents has led to him being afraid of trusting people and having panic attacks.

Thornton is just the opposite. He owns several businesses and is supremely confident in most everything he does. He is also an ageplay Daddy. He loves to take care of his boys and can be a bit overbearing for those not into that, but with a boy who extra needy, it is the perfect fit. But Thornton has never been interested in keeping one boy permanently. Then he slams right into Asher.

It's the opposite of a meet-cute, more like a meet-dangerous, but it's still adorable. Anxiety-ridden Asher braves driving home, but Thornton isn't watching the road for just a second and they crash. Thornton is okay, just bruised, but poor, sweet Asher is hurt badly enough he needs to go to the hospital, but he's terrified, so Thornton promises to watch over him.

"Panic bled through the pain in Asher’s eyes, and Thornton’s heart gave a jerk in his chest when the boy said, “Don’t leave me. Please.”

      The anguish in his voice and the tears he saw slip down Asher’s face broke Thornton’s heart. He felt something and glanced down and saw the boy’s hand gripping his coat in a death grip, desperation making the boy’s hand shake.

      “I won’t. I’m right here. I’ll stay with you until they ask me to move so they can help you."

Not only is Asher hurt, but he also has a heart problem and is terrified of hospitals. Thornton doesn't leave his side. After Asher is released from the hospital he needs to be cared for, so Thornton brings him to his home. What happens when you put two men together, one full of nerves and anxiety, the other with the sure hand to make him feel better?

Cute, yet huge English Mastiff puppies named Beauty and Beast, a Daddy who wants to take care of his boy, and a boy who has never been taken care of and didn't realize he was a little. It all adds up to a cute and squee-filled story.




This book turned out pretty good. It was nicely longer than many have been lately, so it was more satisfying and told the complete story. Novellas are nice sometimes, but I prefer to read a book.

His Accidental Daddy seemed fairly free from grammar errors, which seems astounding after some of the books I've read lately.

The characters were well developed as well. Poor Asher had a complex backstory, and Thornton, though simpler, was more than just a caricature. They also grew together nicely and it was good to see Asher become more himself as he developed. Both of the characters were also appealing and worth getting to know.

The story flowed really well with a consistent storyline. Not too fast, no tedious slow bits. The plot was simple at its base, an accidental meeting, forced roommates, caretaking theme, but it had a few dramatic scenes and a bit more than just the base premise. At a couple points it also avoided the easy (yet stupid) drama that could have come about and derailed the story. That was actually nice since even though it lessens their books far too many authors take to heart the idea of anything bad that could happen, should happen.

The kink aspects were pretty good too. Ageplay can be hard to get correct or explain in a way so people realize the person doesn't want an actual child, but the book managed to capture the cute and fun aspects of being a little and Daddy, without turning it creepy. Just a dominating man who loves making life better and comforting a submissive man who likes to regress (not my favorite word, but it does fit). And who doesn't want to sit and watch cartoons on Daddy's lap while drinking some chocolate milk?

So, if you like scared and hurt boys finding their ageplay Daddies and living a new life in a big house with all sorts of toys and cute doggies, you may want to check it out.
