Review

“Years I’d been planning – searching – for something work risking myself for. And now, I’d finally found it. By accident.”

Allison Whitfield was lucky in love one time in her life, but he was taken from her far too soon, and from then on, she’s devoted herself to her children and making sure they are taken care of, and she’s done one hell of a good job, but along the way, she lost what it meant to be a woman…to be desired…to feel the kind of connection and find the kind of alpha male to take care of her and become her partner like the ones she and her daughter, Haley, read about in their romance novels.

But that’s all about to change because the minute Wade Smith re-enters Alli’s life and realizes that their connection is something worth risking everything for, he dusts off his male prowess and swoonworthy moves and works to claim the woman who’s made him feel more in a few encounters than he’s felt in an extremely long time, which may be easier said than done, though, due to both Alli and Wade’s second guessing and hesitant actions to move forward. Both of them have similar pasts, and it makes sense that they both would have uncertainties about giving into their attraction for one another, especially with the news Allison gets at the onset of the text, but with a little help from Danny and Haley and a lot of courage, their “accidental” beginning might just be the ending they both deserve.

I love that Laurel gives readers both Allison and Wade’s perspectives in Accidental Alpha; it adds the necessary insight to understand both of their fears and overthinking. Both lost a tremendous amount when their respective spouses died and then Wade committed himself to Danny and Allison to Haley and Hunter. But in this story, they’re able to see what they’ve been missing and work to make their own happiness.

The crazy that is Haley and Danny is strewn throughout the pages of Accidental Alpha, which definitely adds to the story because it lightens times of tension and reminds everyone not to take everything so seriously. Alli and Wade’s blossoming relationship is at the forefront of the story but so is their close relationships with their kids. There’s something extremely special about the connection they all share, and it helps them all to move past the pain and find their happiness.

Allison and Wade’s story has a great mix of light hearted comedy, a bit of slapstick humor, some alpha steam, and heartfelt moments that will appeal to a multitude of readers. Accidental Alpha proves that broken hearts can be mended, and if people are willing to take a chance, love, even if by accident, can be worth the risk.
