Review : His Missing Pieces by M.A. Innes

His Missing Pieces is part one of the Pieces Series by M.A. Innes. Like many books by this author, His Missing Pieces is mm kinky romantic erotica. It is a bit taboo for most people. Only read it if you are interested in reading or learning more about a fetish that is less talked about openly. ABDL.

Maddox and Bryan have been friends since they started college. Maddox has been in love with Bryan nearly that long as well. And unbeknownst to him, Bryan loves him too. So, what is keeping these two apart if they each love each other? Bryan has a secret.

When they first met, Maddox hit on Bryan but since Bryan never seemed to notice he assumed Bryan was straight. He found out later that wasn't the case, but he's never seen him date or even act sexually interested in things most gay guys find attractive. Maddox knows there's something he's missing about Bryan, but he just doesn't know what. It's like there's a missing piece to the puzzle that is Bryan.

Why won't he tell him? Does Bryan not trust him?

Maddox doesn't know how to get it through to Bryan that he will accept him whatever he's into. Maddox has given up dating other guys because he feels like he's cheating, even though the pair are just friends. If their relationship is like really good boyfriends even without the sex, what could it be like if only they could become a real couple and be honest with each other?

College vacation comes up and the two head to Bryan's mom's house to spend the summer. Bryan's mom is a pretty awesome character. She's very supportive, a little too supportive and sex positive for a shy guy like Bryan. Especially since she knows what he's into and that he is in love with Maddox. She's trying to encourage Bryan to be honest when Maddox overhears. He learns that Bryan cares for him too, but that his secret is making him too afraid to say anything.

Maddox decides enough is enough and that he needs to step up and figure out what Bryan is into and whether it is something he can handle in order to be with the guy he loves.

Maddox and Bryan are very cute. Bryan is so shy and adorable. And Maddox is like a newly forming Daddy Dom, in turns actually confident and trying to pretend confidence he doesn't have enough experience to feel yet. They feel very accurate for being young college students. Similar to ones I've met in real BDSM environments. It's always adorable when people finally find their missing pieces and fit everything together to become the people they really are.

The kink and sex aspects are very good and hot. But some readers will find it uncomfortable or freaky, just like Bryan was afraid of when he talked to Maddox. Bryan is a little. He likes to behave younger and be held by Daddy, suck on things including a binky, and upsetting to many people, he likes to wear diapers sometimes. He's a ABDL, or Adult Baby Diaper Lover, which isn't on many people's approved kinks, even those into BDSM. Which is a shame since it's fairly common.

Why are some people into being littles and ABDL? Some people may assume that it has something to do with pedophila, but that isn't the case. The participants like to behave like they're younger, but everyone involved is an adult (ABDL, remember). They don't want actual kids, just like they don't really want their own dads when they worship Daddy.

Ageplay is about embracing aspects related to being younger and finding joy in things you were told you were too old for. Curling up in a big, strong lap and feeling safe in a scary world. Coloring, playing with toys and having fun food. Admiring shy boys who blush when you tease them. Spankings over Daddy's lap. An exuberant and unstifled joy that is forced out of people.

For most people, the dominance and control is more deep and consuming than many other fetishes. Because giving Daddy control over every aspect of your being, including orgasms and going to the bathroom, is a level many people can't manage. It's not slave roleplay which often has connotations of humiliation, disgust, or feeling bad. Ageplay is more about feeling cherished.

The author has several books written about littles and their Daddies, but this series is one of my favorites. I love the feel of the guys fitting together as they form their unique relationship. For those against ABDL, the first book in the series only has one sex scene in a diaper, which ends up super hot, but later books as the guys find their groove, have more including some diaper usage. Don't read the series if you can't handle it.

But, if you like the image of a sweet, shy boy blushingly looking up at his Daddy and pleading to get to come, this book is worth the read. The dominance is very hot and the romance is sweet, a perfect combination.

Maddox and Bryan are both interesting characters who are well-developed and not cardboard. Bryan's mother is only shown a few times in this book, but she's also a great character. Very tiger mom, protect my son from his own shyness.

Later books in this series continue Bryan and Maddox's story and also add a few friends who have their own series. Stay away from that series unless you can handle it, as Bryan and Maddox's new college neighbors, Jeremy and Kevin are actual brothers, which is a step too taboo even for those who read stepbrother romances, so they can pretend the characters are brothers and not at the same time. Too Close to Love is book one of the Loving series, and features real incest with the brothers falling in love with each other and trying to start a new life together. It's actually ridiculously sweet.

Many of the books by M.A. Innes, aka Shaw Montgomery, intertwine and for those obsessive readers like me who adore reading things in sequence, it might be a good idea to start reading their books starting at the first one published and going down the line. There are some really good books, including a puppyplay series I love and will review later, An Accidental Master, which is about a non-kinky dog trainer accidentally becoming the master of a couple of sweet boys who like to be puppies.

My Cameron is another of my favorite books by the author, but is not connected to the others. It is an au where tentacled aliens have landed on Earth and are trying to integrate. One of my all-time favorite books -- tentacles and dominance and shyness all together. So good!

The author is obviously actually familiar with BDSM and the kinky world, so their books are accurate while being hot and sweet, the perfect combination.

I like that M.A. Innes writes about kinks that aren't as commonplace in the literary world and that tend to be neglected for the "normal" stuff. There are tons of people into these things but they don't often get their own stories. Whether the subjects are your thing or not, representation matters and it's important to keep in mind YKINMKBYKIOK which means "Your Kink Is Not My Kink But Your Kink Is Ok". Just because something isn't what you find appealing, doesn't mean you can't accept that other people do find it appealing and that they do is okay. Reading about other people's kinks and seeing things through their eyes is a great way to learn and understand. Exactly what reading is about.

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.
