The Test
Tabitha Young, beautiful, and always used to being in control, at all times, of every situation.
Master Powerful, handsome, in-charge at all times. No woman touches him.
Tabitha falls in lust with Master Andrews in just one look and devises a plan to make him hers. After receiving a lower than expected score on an entrance test for employment in his club, Tabitha uses every trick at her disposal to make him fall under her spell and give her a better score. There is a position in his club she desires, and she is determined to get it.
What she didn't plan on was Master Andrews being just as stubborn, in charge and in control as she is.
Master Andrews lets her play her little games when she meets him in his office, but he quickly puts her in her place. She is beautiful, yes, but she knows it. And she flaunts it. That is a behavior that will not be accepted in his club... if she gets in. Club Darker is an elite club that provides anonymity to its clients while catering to their darkest desires, and he only allows the best of the best to work and perform there. Ms. Shaw and her independence/stubbornness are a challenge and one he will gladly rise to. He hasn't met a woman yet that he can't train, and she will not be the first.

Can a woman used to being in charge become a submissive?
This is my first read by author Ashlee Shades and I was very pleased by her writing technique and story line. I love a dominant, strong alpha male and love even more an independent, strong female. THE TEST (Club Darker Book 1) has both!
The synopsis gives potential readers a great glimpse of what this short story is about, so I won't re-tell it. I will say that the humor I felt at Tabby's "tricks", as well as how surprised she was at how she responded to Master A's actions, was as as enjoyable as the tension & sex-pense was.
I was lucky to have won a copy of Book 1 of this new series and I can't wait for the next two the author has planned! Tabby & Master A make a combustible duo!

The Test was a short read but a funny one considering Tabitha thought she was going to get away with pulling a fast one with Master Andrew, to being allowed to join the club when her scores were so low she had to flirt and dress inappropriate, and then ask for help on her test because she didn’t know how to do the problems. Testing was done in order to hire girls that could carry on an intelligent conversation with the gentlemen who came to the club or at least has some knowledge upstairs and were not just bimbos. Tabitha was learning she had to go through a training period and Master Andrew was wondering himself if she had it in her to pass the test. We don’t know yet. She’s pretty head strong. 😂😂😂

Great read
Again another great read from Ashlee, it is a short story though very enjoyable Tabby wants in at a gentleman's club after seeing a handsome dom and she is willing to anything to get in. In turn Master Andrews is looking forward to breaking Tabby and teaching her the true meaning of being a sub. Eagerly awaiting book 2

The Test
I really loved the wat Ashley Shades writes her stories. She has a way of holding you while drawing you into the story. This is one of the hardest thing for a writer to do. This story though short was very intense. I loved it.I highly recommend it.
