This was great. 
I managed to inhale this little gem of a book in a few sittings, and the only thing I can think of is: Misha Horne's a spanking, daddy kink genius.

I've read several of their books now, and I think "Hurt Me, Daddy" is my favourite to date. 
It's angsty and emotional and tough and sweet and hopeful and hot and just, precisely my kind of jam.

Logan is also precisely my kind of protagonist: he's mean and angry, an asshole through and through, but he's also deeply hurt and broken and vulnerable and self-loathing, and I spent the whole book wishing somebody would just swoop in and save him from his horrible home life. Thankfully, that's where Caleb came in, with his giant, grabby hands and his gentle but domineering personality: Logan didn't stand a chance. 
I think (HA, no, I know!) I have a weakness for these kinds of protagonists and this kind of relationship, where some sort of expectation or role is reversed: secretly subby, bully jock and his giant, domineering nerd? YES, PLEASE. I love it when big, assholish grumps find their match, and their submission, in their even bigger, uber possessive and commanding love interests. 

Logan and Caleb's relationship was fabulous: surprisingly slow-burn, in the sense that I was expecting it to advance much more quickly than it did, but actually, I found the pacing just perfect; also, sweeter and gentler than what I was expecting, and also, so damn hot. Their chemistry was off the charts, and every single one of their interactions is now literally branded in my brain.
 
Daddy kink is one of those things that I enjoy immensely, but only when it's done right and Misha Horne, as usual, excels in what they do and the way they write kink, especially of the spanking variety. 
Everything that happened between Logan and Caleb, from the kink discovery to the spanking and the praising and the care-taking, everything was so damn good, ridiculously sexy and lovely and addictive. And the way Horne mixes kink with angst? Absolutely unforgettable, all-round chef-kissing. 

I'm jumping into book two RIGHT AWAY. I can't get enough of these two.
