Here’s a tip: When you least expect it, expect it. I’d been known to have my share of beautiful women. Usually, I met them in a bar, through a mutual acquaintance, or even when photographing them. Imagine my surprise when a gorgeous blonde drove her car into mine on the way to a party. No more than a minute after our run-in, a string of colorful words flew from her mouth in rapid fire. … from her mouth in rapid fire. Unexplainably, the angrier she became the harder I got. All sorts of scenarios played in my head of how I could get her to shut up. I was all for feisty women, but I preferred leaving that for the bedroom—not on the streets of New York.
When I learned she was a schoolteacher, that worsened my disposition. What man didn’t have a dirty teacher fantasy at one point in his life? I decided it was my turn to teach her a thing or two… or so I thought. Little did I know, Miss Prim-and-Proper would turn the tables on me.
She called me Mr. Kinky, and that was fine with me.
Lesson learned: Desire always trumps logic.

Funny, steamy & heartfelt…great book. Loved it.
I have to say with each book in this series I just seen to want more of these awesome couples. Dante quickly stole my heart and his kink was an added bonus. Dante and Cassie will have your heart hammering in no time. This book is absolutely unputdownable!!
I loved that we got so much of Jude, Kyle, Brae and Vanessa in the mix
“Are you ready to surrender to me?”
Are you ready to surrender to Dante Benedetto? HELL YEAH you are! Trust me on this, ladies! He is my absolute FAVORITE of the bunch and I love this entire series! Sexy, sweet, charming, romantic, and dare I say, a bit kinky? Dante and Cassie set the pages on fire with their intense and passionate chemistry and their playful and flirtatious banter! I loved every second of this entertaining, sexy, and delightful romance! When these two authors get together, you know there will be SPARKS…you know there will be FIREWORKS…you know there will be never-ending sexy FUN! I love how seamless Madden and Schwehm’s writing is when they write together. CRAVING MR. KINKY was a very quick and sexy read for me. Dante was EVERYTHING, of course! And I just loved Cassie to pieces. Together, these two were amazing and I couldn’t look away, even if I tried!
I’ve enjoyed each book in this series, but I think this one is my favorite. I loved Dante. I thought with the title, he might be cold, arrogant,maybe a little closed off, but he wasn’t. Cassie has been friends with Dante’s brother Luca. Best friends in fact. When Dante and Cassie meet, it’s not the ideal situation. Things heat up between them though, and Dante is perfect for testing Cassie’s boundaries. He takes her out of her comfort zone for sure. She’s had a fairly controlled upbringing and as a teacher to young children, she doesn’t go into anything without a great deal of thought first.
The relationship between her and Dante seems perfect, until an opportunity arises for him that could tear them apart. It’s the kind of thing that will force Cassie to make some huge, life altering decisions. Not exactly the kind of thing she’s comfortable doing. Especially in a short amount of time.
Loved this. I couldn’t put it down.
Oh Dante!!!!!! Holy hotness!!!!! Craving Mr. Kinky is getting the flames:
I have been awaiting the arrival of Dante Benedetto’s Book with baited breath!!! Ms. Madden and Ms. Schwehm did not disappoint!
We got a little snippet of Dante in Luca’s book, Scoring Mr. Romeo…..that was when I knew Dante was going to be handful….. Cassie has her vulnerabilities that makes you feel like you are her, because let’s me honest, we all have things that we are unsure about in life.
Grab this book now!!!! While you are at it, grab all the prior books because they are absolutely wonderful!!!

Who knew two people who were so different than one another would fall in love so deeply? This is the story of Dante and Cassie, and they did just that!!!
Oh my goodness, to say Dante and Cassie’s first meeting was intense would be an understatement! She is a little fireball! Little did they know that small encounter would completely flip their worlds on its axis.
Dante and Cassie are so incredibly different. He has photographed beautiful women all over the world, but none of them have affected him as much as this petite woman has. He can’t get her out of his mind, and it won’t be easy as she is one of his brother’s closest friends.
Cassie is a teacher, and she lives a normal life. When Dante blows into her world, he will bring such change to her life. She usually makes the safe choices, and I liked how Dante helped her step out of her comfort zone.
Their relationship begins with a great deal of lust, but the two settle into a friendship which is a far cry from the insults they hurled at each other when they first met. Don’t get me wrong, their witty banter was razor-sharp with underlying currents of lust. That was one aspect I liked about their relationship. They kept each other on their toes!!!!
As you can easily tell from the title of the book, there are definitely some steamy scenes, but there is also some real sweetness shared between them as well. There really wasn’t too much angst and drama. The tension between them really stems from Cassie’s unselfishness, and Dante is willing to make sacrifices for her too. Isn’t that what love is really are about?
This writing duo is amazing. Their writing styles really complement one another. They pulled me into the story on an emotional level. It’s a light read, and there were so many times Dante and Cassie had me in stitches, laughing. A book doesn’t have to be dark and filled with drama for it to be a good book. Madden and Schwehm very clearly illustrate that with this book and the entire series!!!!
4.5 Stars!
Craving Mr. Kinky has everything a Romance should, and then some! Featuring a cast of funny, flirty and fabulous main and secondary characters, it starts off with a hilarious meet-cute and an entertaining, well-written plotline that had me laughing one moment and second guessing what would happen next. This writing duo has hit another one out of the ballpark! This is the fourth book, a Standalone, in the Mr. Wrong series and having read them all I still can’t decide which Mister is the man of my dreams!
Dante Benedetto, an Italian fashion photographer, just moved to NYC and he’s excited about fianally living in the same city his brother, Luca, and his best friends, Kyle and Jude, live in. He’s on his way to a party for Jude’s girlfriend, Vanessa, when the car he hired hits another car. Or that car hit his, Dante’s not sure what happened, he’d been distracted before the fender bender. What he’s surprised by is the fiery woman that was driving the other car and how upset she is. A very beautiful woman. When he sees her at the party she accuses him of stalking her; only to find out she’s Cass, Luca’s best friend that he’s heard so much about over the years. Dante later asks for a truce, for Luca’s sake, and Cassie agrees to it, for her friend’s sake. And what a truce it turns out to be!
“Overthinking was my norm, sensibility was my middle name, and throwing caution to the wind was not in my DNA.
Which meant three strikes against a man like Dante.”
Cassandra “Cassie” Brooks is a kindergarten school teacher, something she loves, but not what her stuffy, society parents had envisioned. She’d grown up in a household of privilege and wealth; attending private schools and later a finishing school, before she rebelled (according to her parents) and insisted she move to NYC to attend college. As a result of her upbringing, Cassie’s pretty conservative and plays it safe in all aspects of her life. No one would ever imagine the fantasies she has, but has never acted on, things she’s only read about. Cassie has only been in serious relationships and has never had casual sex before, much less sex on the first date and she’s surprised by the attraction she feels towards Dante. One that’s mutual and takes them both by surprise.
“The man was a talking-book boyfriend.
Maybe that was my problem. I wanted to fall in love like the heroines in a steamy romance.”
Looking for a quick and dirty, super fun, sexy, smart read? You’ll find it in Craving Mr. Kinky. Seriously, you need some Dante Benedetto in your life.
Dante’s excited to be living close to his brother, Luca, for the first time in many years. He’s looking forward to reconnecting and spending some time with his brother as well as growing his already busy photography business. What he didn’t count on, was falling for the feisty, gorgeous, snarky kindergarten teacher, and oh, she’s also his brother’s best friend.
Cassie’s happy with her quiet, simple life. She loves her job. Loves spending time with her friends. Loves how they’ve all fallen in love. And, yes, she may be a little lonely, a tiny bit jealous of their happiness, but that’s okay. Love will find her at the most unexpected time and place. Soon. Err, really soon, and love doesn’t just simply find her, it runs right into her! Literally.
When a simple fender-bender leads you to the love of your life, you don’t try to fight it—well, you don’t fight it after you have a do-over and are properly introduced. Cassie and Dante can’t deny there’s a major spark between them. Can’t deny that they both want to see where their connection leads. Can’t deny that there’s something so amazing brewing between them.
And holy moly, is there!! Good lord, I absolutely loved the romance between Cassie and Dante. Loved their sexy, smart fun banter. And that they just connected. And that they worked. And that they just went for it. I loved how Dante brought out the playful side of Cassie—that he helped her work past her inhibitions. I couldn’t read Craving Mr. Kinky fast enough to see how their romance developed and where they were heading. And I was not disappointed!
Craving Mr. Kinky is a delicious balance of love and fun along with a bit of angst and self-discovery. It makes you think about just what exactly you would do for love and for the love of your life. And it’s fan-freaking-tastic!
I received a free copy of this book from the authors.
At the end of Scoring Mr. Romeo we meet Dante, a new character in the Mr. Wrong series. He’s the brother of Luca Benedetto but he’s nothing like his brother. Dante definitely embodies the Mr. Kinky to a t. He and Kindergarten teacher Cassandra (Cassie) Brooks have an immediate attraction despite the trouble on first meet.
As they get to know one another their hotter than hot attraction can’t be denied. Their secret relationship, by Cassie’s request, is heating up the sheets but Cassie doesn’t know what to do about it. She’s worried he’ll find one of his models more attractive and dump her. Insecurities are a beech!
I chuckled several times reading this book. These characters are a hoot and of course the others from the previous Mr. Wrong books have to have their say as well. There’s not a lot of drama in this particular story. No angst. There’s some indecision and that’s probably the biggest conflict. I really enjoyed reading this book. If you’re looking for a steamy, intense connection of characters Craving Mr. Kinky is meant for you!

Craving Mr. Kinky is the fourth installment in the Mr. Wrong series of interconnected stand-alones. Dante is a hot-as-sin Italian photographer who literally smashes into his brother’s best friend and sparks fly. Cassie, a prim and proper elementary school teacher, thinks Dante is out of her league. She’s not like the supermodels that Dante shoots for magazine covers and she can’t understand why he would be attracted to her. Dante awakens a whole new side to Cassie. She starts to crave Dante and his sexy ways, but will the right guy turn out to be all wrong?
Craving Mr. Kinky is a sexy, flirty and fast read with a kinky edge. One click this new one. I have a feeling you might crave the other books in this series after reading this new release.
Dante was so worth the wait! A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm have collaborated to create one of the sexiest men I have ever read. Mild mannered Cassie, kindergarten teacher has a secret side that even her closest friends don’t know about. When she literally bumps into Dante on the way to her friend’s birthday party, who would ever suspect that he is the brother of her best friend, Luca. Dante seems to be able to see into the mind and soul of Cassie and he is about to make all her dreams come true. But what about the dreams of Dante, what happens when he stands on the edge of realizing his goals. Will they be able to stand together and reach for the stars?

I love these two together! They write the swooniest dang books ever!!
Craving Mr. Kinky is the story of Cassie and Dante. And what a story it was!
Cassie is perfection! She has successfully broken from her upbringing to do what she wants to do! She has the insecurities and vulnerabilities that a lot of women have. Cassie was a character that I could really relate to!
Dante….oh my me, Dante is just wowza! The way that A.M and Joanne can describe his stare is just a small testament to their writing. He is a photographer, so he sees “beauty” everyday. But when he meets Cassie, well then he sees what true beauty really is. And how he talks to Cassie. Just swoon.
It was lovely to see past characters make an appearance in Cassie and Dante’s story! It was like a reunion of friends! It was fantastic to see how they were doing!
Sit when you read this for safety reasons! This is definite MUST READ! (That’s right, I said it in all caps!) Get your hands on this and on all their books!
I can’t wait to see what they come out with next!!
In a twist of fate, Cassie and Dante met in the most unconventional way. And that meet-cute only got better when they realized Dante was the brother of Cassie’s best friend!
This is a cute, fun, steamy story about Dante and Cassie. You’re going to love them. You’re going to love their friends and family. It was such a fun book!
I enjoyed the narration by Charley Ongel and Tor Thom do an amazing job of bringing this cast of characters to life. I always enjoy their narration. They are typically a one-click duo for me!
5 Star Review of Craving Mr.Kinky (Mr.Wrong Series #4) by A.M.Madden & Joanne Schwehm
I have not read any of the previous books in the Mr.Wrong series and can attest that this one can most certainly be read as a stand alone. I loved Craving Mr.Kinky from start to finish and in fact I did not want the story to finish.
The narration from Tor Thom and Charley Ongel was spot on and they really brought the characters of Dante Benedetto (just his name makes me swoon) and Cassie to life for me.
Both the characters of Cassie and Dante were entirely believable, they argue, they make up, they get frustrated, just like we all do. I think it is that, that makes this story such a good one and Tor Thom and Charley Ongel portrayed this beautifully.
Dante is swoon worthy. Cassie sweet. The chemistry between Dante and Cassie is scorching and I loved the banter and camaraderie which resulted in several laugh out loud moments.
A fun and thoroughly enjoyable book to not only read, but to listen too and I am off to look at other books in this series.
