Story4.5 out of 5 stars 168
It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old.” Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true. The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered he’s the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there.

I owe him a debt. A big one. The payment can't be settled with money or favors. He only wants one thing. Me. Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with 365 buttons, he'll let me go. He'll let me walk away. But I have to earn every single one. By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I've ever known.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
Gavin Kingsley burst into my life in a sharp and unexpected twist of fate. You know his type - arrogant, dangerously handsome and impossible to ignore. Something dark within him calls to the shadows inside me. I long for the kind of heart-wrenching passion I've only read about, and his tragic past reads like one of my favorite literary classics. Raw. Visceral. Captivating. Together, we're a perfect mess. The deeper I fall into his world, the more I crave him like a drug - he pushes every boundary I have and challenges everything I thought I wanted.

I knew better than to bet myself. But desperation leads to bad decisions, and I thought there was no way I could lose. I was wrong. Now I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil....

Evil. That is really the best way to describe Jeremy Stonehart. When he was Stonehart. Is he that anymore? I don't know. As he reveals more and more of himself to me, I start to see a glimmer of the man beneath the surface. I start to understand, in some small way, that even evil comes from a source, from some initial seed that sprouted and took hold of a person's soul.

Summary
New York Times and USA Today best seller
After her employer goes out of business, Tessa Greer is so desperate for work she leaves Michigan and travels to Houston where jobs seem more available. She's thrilled to land the 'Receptionist Plus' position at Maddox Brothers Inc. Now she can continue to pay the bills for her mentally ill mother's care facility.But Tessa is shocked by the punishments her handsome new bosses dole out for her very minor mistakes. She's even more shocked at how aroused she becomes when they discipline her.
The stakes seem to get higher with each round of punishments. How far will this one-upmanship between the brothers go? And with one of them, Tessa finds herself wanting him to take her farther than she's ever gone before.
Content Warning: Not for listeners offended by fantasy inappropriate office behavior. Like many Lyla Sinclair stories, this novella contains various BDSM elements, including domination, restraint, corporal punishment, and anal sex, as well as unconventional use of office supplies. Training Tessa also contains a few humorous moments. Avoid this story if humor annoys you. (This is not a ménage novella.)

What disappointed you about Training Tessa?
It was a very long beginning to the story .
The characters were not very in-depth and the story just fell flat.
Would you ever listen to anything by Lyla Sinclair again?
I would listen to lyla again but in a different book .
How did the narrator detract from the book?
never read the book and am glad I did not .
What character would you cut from Training Tessa?
I would start all over again .

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. It was hot! Looooove Dix and his cockiness!
What did you like best about this story?
Dix! Not to mention I just love hot cowboys and two brothers, and.... Lol!
What about Rhea Celeste’s performance did you like?
Perfect voice for this. The internal dialogues were great. Recording was crystal clear.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Uh, Well......
Any additional comments?
Great quick listen. Have already listened to it twice and purchasing the second book Controlling Krysta soon!

Tesse Did get some Training
This listen was a ehh why not buy it. Cause it was a less than $5 buy. I was in for a nice treat b/c it was full of PowPows as I call them. LOL I just wish it was longer. The Maddox Brother had me switching on which brother to pick and wanting to fill out in an app for the 'Receptionist Plus' position. :) No credit needed its less than $5. Happy Listening!

Quick and Dirty
I wanted to spank Tessa, and not not in the good way. I'm quite certain I rolled my eyes more than once, but it wasn't awful. A little too predictable, a little too cheesy. A little too 50 shades.

great performance, horrible story
I am a huge fan of BDSM, Spanking, submission, etc...but as soon as the main character said she wasn't into this it was a huge turn off. I hate the "I'm doing it for the money" story line. I wonder where men get gold digger ideas from. Not a fan.

Tessa discovers herself and what she likes
If you could sum up Training Tessa in three words, what would they be?
Tessa is devoted to her mother
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would add an epilogue- what happens between Tessa & Dixon after the 6 mo. return to her mother?
Have you listened to any of Rhea Celeste’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
excellent performance of main character
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes
Any additional comments?
Slow & awkward in the beginning but Tessa shows her strengths in the end
