He got on my nerves when I was his teacher … but I never knew he was such a brat …

I’ve been out of the kink scene for years, but when I’m invited to a meetup at Mischief I can’t resist. It should be too far from home for anyone to recognize me. But it’s not. Hunter is a blast from the past: a student who failed my class twice and never stops acting out. But there’s more to the acting out than meets the eye, and the brat could use a daddy with a firm hand.

I’m the daddy for the job.

Meet Mischief, a kink friendly community full of daddies, boys, puppies, jocks and more! Get your first taste of the lifestyle when Carson and Hunters reconnect in this steamy m/m romance featuring Daddy/brat age play, an age gap, and a healthy dose of enemies to lovers in the mix. 

My Rating - 4 Stars!

Misbehaved is an entertaining Daddy kink romance by Ali Lyda and Simon Stranger. The first book in the Mischief series, it looks to be a great series. 

This is the story of Carson, a professor, and Hunter, a student who has shamed him in the past. The background for the two is interesting, and the resolution is beautiful. 

       

Carson and Hunter are reunited at a sex club and things are awkward, yet hot, as they deal with their situation. Hunter and Carson are interesting on their own, people who certainly shouldn't be together, yet somehow they work.

I have to admit that the beginning is a little confusing at first. I actually thought I had missed a previous book. But it doesn't take long for the reader to get caught up to the situation. 

Hunter has a family situation that is heartbreaking. Dealing with his homophobic, religious father has caused him a lot of pain. His character growth throughout is wonderful, as he deals with his self worth and pride.

This is a story of finding someone who makes you feel like you are worthy. It is magnificent in the way Carson brings life to Hunter. Their past is messy, and the strength of their new relationship is truly inspirational in the way Carson forgives Hunter. Seriously, Carson's ability to look beyond what Hunter did is amazing. 

Carson is a man torn between what he wants and what he desires. I enjoy the way his struggle is developed, as being with Hunter is a threat to his career. 

Written in alternating 1st person pov, the emotions and motivations of both men are front and center. The author adds plenty of humor in addition to the kink. 

Speaking of kink, this is a story with cock cages, orgasm denial, and some serious heat. The Daddy/boy dynamics are well done.

Misbehaved is 229 pages of sexy fun with an emotional relationship throughout. Ali Lyda and Simon Strange collaboration is fantastic story of self acceptance.
