Accidental Daddy

Against the Rules Boston Duet #1

by A.J. Summers

I wasn’t looking for a guy to pop my cherry, let alone a baby daddy. The first time I laid my eyes on him, I thought he was an overconfident jerk hitting on me at the bar. Smug. Gorgeous. Hot as hell. Hard pass. The next time I see him, I’m having lunch with my dad. And it turns out, my dad’s his boss. When I mention that I need a volunteer in my preschool classroom, my dad suggests Tyler help me with the task. He shows up with a devilish smirk and a cocky swagger, and I just hate how ridiculously good-looking he is. It soon turns out he’s also gentle, patient and kind. So I make a bold request. Be my first. He now helps me by day and breaks my bed by night. Until a big fat plus sign tells me he’s going to be a daddy. But we have a problem. We need to tell my daddy he’s going to be a granddaddy.

I really enjoyed this book! Tyler was sweet and yet alpha. Maria was annoying at first but after their second encounter I liked her.


Safe
Dual pov
Virgin h H used to be a playboy but had stopped once he got older.
I wouldn’t call it ow drama but there was one scene that was unnecessary with an ex of his. No om drama
Epilogue eh. I like them to be years out not just months.

This was a really good story. 33-year-old Tyler North met 23-year-old Maria in a bar, did the usual one-liners, and got turned down with each one he used. A day or so later, he walked into his boss' office to find none other than the woman who rejected him...and she was the boss' daughter.
Maria, a preschool teacher, couldn't believe the gall of the stranger throwing one-liners at her, humorous though they were. Still, she managed to successfully tell him she wasn't interested and left, only to meet him in her dad's office, and for her father to suggest that Tyler volunteer in her class for the career lessons she planned on teaching.
Although this was a slow burn/fast-paced mixture, it was overly long and drawn out at times. It had too much fluff n stuff, and most of it could easily have been left out. There was a tremendous amount of inner dialogue that was out of place as well.
With that being said, it was nice to see the MMC stand up and be a man when faced with an unplanned pregnancy. He not only stood by the FMC, but he stood up for her in the face of ridicule from the one person who should have had her back from the beginning.
Both main characters were fully developed and mature. They met their issues head-on and fought through their fears together, with one minor exception...but that only lasted for a very brief time and worked out splendidly. These two characters knew how to communicate, and it was nice to see them grow and adapt together.
It was definitely worthy of a five-star rating and should be added to the Keeper for the Shelved collection. it would be nice to see a book for the MMC's BFF to see how his life turned out. That issue left a ton of questions unanswered.

This is the fifth book I have read by A.J. Summers and it is the first book that I didn't love. The characters were wonderful and the plot was original. But, the ending of a book will sometimes be the difference between whether I give it a four or a five. This is exactly what happened with Accidental Daddy - I loved it until the end. Sadly, it was anti-climatic for me and I feel this book needed an epilogue with an update of six months to at least a year later.

Tyler and Maria were wonderful characters whom I adored. A.J. made it impossible not to love them. I also couldn't help cheering them on towards a possible happily ever after. There was an underlying chemistry between these two that didn't surface until they spent time together. You know what they say about judging a book by its cover - this applied to the beginning of Tyler and Maria's relationship.

The first time Tyler and Maria met was an epic failure. The second time they met didn't fair to well either. But, the next time they met was the classic third time is the charm. Tyler has essentially been volunteered by his boss to help out in his daughter Maria in her preschool classroom. Of course, Daddy gave the hands off warning to Tyler. Hello...two grown adults are capable of making the decision of who they will and will not date and that is exactly what happened. As the spent time together it became obvious there was more to their relationship than they expected. Now there is a baby on the way and Daddy has no idea these two are in a relationship. How will he react when the truth comes out? Will Tyler and Maria be able to weather the storm? Happily ever after or are they doomed to failure?

Tyler was in a bar with a friend when he sees Maria and goes to talk to her. Maria isn't interested in being a hook up and shoots him down. However, the next day when she is with her father, she runs into Tyler again. He works with her father and her father suggest Tyler hep her out with something for her class. Sparks ignite between them and soon things get very complicated. Will this turn into more than they expected? Can they get their happy ending?

This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

Our heroine just needed some help in the classroom, but our hero turned out to be good for a whole lot more. And when that includes one unexpected surprise, our heroine is going to have to figure out how to share that news with her father.

This is a contemporary romance with a taboo theme. The story is well written and easy to read with a fun cast of characters. I rather liked both our heroine and our cocky hero. They definitely have excellent chemistry and that results in a lot of fun steam. Overall, this was a very enjoyable romp and I look forward to more from this author.

Highly recommended.

Maria and Tyler's age gap romance is a must read for sure. I felt bad for Maria when her dad was very upset that she was seeing Tyler, but I thought it was romantic how Tyler told her dad if he was going to be mad be mad at him and forgive Maria. I also enjoyed reading the scene when Tyler was there supporting Maria during Lamaze class. It was a nice and romantic scene in my opinion. I give this book 5 stars and more if I could. :).

When Tyler heads to a bar with his best friend he had no idea that the female he would encounter would change his life. When he struck up a conversation and was turned down, he thought that would be the end of it. So, imagine their surprises when they meet again in her father's office and that her father is Tyler's boss! Things take another turn when they enter into a relationship that leaves behind two pink lines. Will Tyler take being a daddy in stride. This story kept me glued to the pages.

Great read!

I truly felt mesmerized by Tyler and Maria. They had a love story for the ages. She is a self proclaimed virgin and totally not attracted to Tyler. He is a player and not ready to give up his antics until Maria. However the plot twist when she finds out he works for her dad. I was invested in this book from the start and I loved everything the author gave us. However I love happy endings I just wish this could have ended a little bit better. Not just stop. Anyway great read and look forward to reading more by A J Summers.

A beautiful story that keeps you glued to the pages. This is the story of Maria and Tyler. It soon becomes clear what they feel for each other, even though her father is not happy about it because of the age difference, but they don't care because Tyler will do anything for her and protect her. What made their story complete is the unexpected pregnancy and how caring he is.

[Sally · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an age gap romance. But not an OTT story or age gap. Guy meets girl and instantly falls for the girl. She thinks he's an arrogant jerk and turns him down. She finds out later that the guy works for his dad and the two are pushed together by him and they end of falling in love. This is a cute little romance story with very little drama. Except for the dad who loses it at first when he finds out about their relationship.

[Deborah Bierman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a daddy's "keep your hands off my daughter" story. It is a sweet well told story. Tyler & Maria start with a rocky first meeting. The reader watches the relationship develop and the changes that come with growth. A fast delightful read.

Tyler has just been made a partner at the law firm, so he is celebrating with his best bud, Jared, at a local watering hole. When Jared pushes him toward a table with a beautiful young woman, Tyler goes for it and so meets Maria. This story has plenty of romance and steam, ending in a HEA. Very highly recommended.

Hidden promise

I thought the story flowed perfectly until the tide turned leaving the man and woman started to experience anxiety over their inability to communicate with their parents. I would gladly recommend this to other book lovers. It definitely holds your attention until the end.

Great read, I enjoyed it

this was another surprisingly good age gap romance. I think this author has a knack for doing it right. It never comes off. It’s creepy maybe because it’s usually only 12 years under 15. Her next book is 18 years. Let’s see if it freaks me out but so far so good. Pretty spicy also realistic I like it. Great job AJ.

[Rodney Wiedrick · Rating 5 out of 5]

That was quite the story. That was a slow burn that was a page turner. All you want to do is keep reading to find out if Maria and Tyler get together for good and get a happy ending. I definitely recommend this book.

[Lauren Fatuch-Scanlon · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story seemed sweet & wholesome. Of course there’s drama, what good story doesn’t have it. Inlove the ending and some times you just need a happily ever after!

Love is never easy is it? Maria and Tyler's age gap romance is a must read for sure, especially to such a page turner you just have to know what will happen next. I felt bad for Maria when her dad was very upset that she was seeing Tyler, but I thought it was romantic how Tyler told her dad if he was going to be mad be mad at him and forgive Maria.
