Publisher's 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.)

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.

H-O-T!

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......

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

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.

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!

It was just okay for me

This book wasn’t horrible, but it was not great either. It was just ok. The narrators were awesome. I did not like the story line. Not to give any spoilers, but I did not like the the ending relationship between the characters…..it just seem odd.
