Tell me, Thea.
After months of frequenting her local BDSM club, Thea has found what every submissive dreams of, the perfect Dom. He understands every gasp and shiver of her response and gives her exactly what she craves. He pushes her limits, takes her to the edge and then holds her while she floats back to reality. He knows every inch of her body in intimate detail, but nothing else about her … about her at all. Though he tries to delve into her personal life, he respects her wishes when she refuses. Thea feels compelled to keep her ‘real’ life separate from anything that happens on the BDSM scene, it’s the only way she can exist.
Tony is bewitched from the first moment he lays eyes on his perfect little sub at The Wicked Club. Months of scening with her only makes him crave more. But any pressure for information about her private life has her scurrying away like a frightened kitten. He needs to keep his cool and take it slow in order not to scare her away.
That is until a twist of fate lands Thea in Mr Tony diMarco’s office and her worlds collide. Her perfect Dom is sitting behind the desk at her new job. It’s too much and she refuses to mix her personal and professional lives. But Tony won’t take no for an answer. He needs Thea Richmond in his bed and in his office and he is determined to have his way.
Thea is reluctant to blur the lines, but it’s becoming more and more difficult to maintain her well-ordered existence. Will she trust her Dom to push her to the edge like he always does? Or will she risk losing the man she has come to love?

What an absolutely terrific book! Ashe Barker has intertwined a BDSM D/s scening relationship with mystery, intrigue, insecurities, and drama. Taking these scenarios through the twists and turns of the plot she throws in jealousy and romance. Tony and Thea are so relatable it was easy for me to get lost in their emotions and relate to their situation. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and heartedly recommend it.
Two worlds collide
Ashe Barker writes super spicy stories that frequently have a twist, and often have an underlying lesson. In Tell Me, the underlying lesson has to do with judgement from others, and how we deal with it. Thea’s emotional struggle with the meeting of her two worlds felt so very realistic, I felt strongly for her. A highly enjoyable read.
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.
“And never the twain should meet.”

Thea and Tony find each other at their local BDSM club. Thea doesn’t talk about her personal life and the minute Tony tries Thea takes off. Thea goes in to meet her new boss and finds out it Tony from the club. She’s ready to bolt but Tony won’t let her. Incredible intimate scenes. There still is some mystery about her background but it was really a very good story. It’s quick and very entertaining.

This book was a very refreshing change as the couple actually got on with one another and actually loved each other. Loved the characters of Tony and Leah who really worked as a couple. Plenty of BDSM action but not too harsh. A little intrigue at the end finished off a really good interesting read.

Wow! This was a very intense story! **Spoiler Alert** This novel has very heavy BDSM scenes so it may not be your cup of tea. However, the story line was very good with lots of emotions, some intrigue, and best of all, you see the change and emergence of Thea’s true nature/personality. The chemistry between Thea and Tony was explosive and super steamy hot enough to melt your panties off. This was a great story that I couldn’t put down as I wanted to see what happens next!

I very much liked the premise of this book – 2 people who know each other only by their first names and scene together regularly at a local BDSM club, end up connected at work by someone who is very important to them each individually. While they continue to expand their private exploits, Thea and Tony get to know one another on another level as business professionals.
The intimate scenes are very intense, but I would like to have felt more of an emotional connection between Thea and Tony. I wanted to have a better understanding about their backgrounds. There is a bit of a mystery woven into the end, but I felt like the end was a bit rushed. I did like the characters enough that an epilogue would have been welcomed. Overall, a quick and entertaining read with lots of BDSM heat.

I enjoyed how Thea wasn’t just out of the schoolroom trying to find her kink. She had a clear understanding of who she was and didn’t want to blur the lines of personal and professional. I liked her struggle when things came to a head.
There were quite a few typos that this author usually does not have, and it was a little distracting.
I read and reviewed a copy of this book.
Enjoyed the story. It was well written and entertaining. The interaction between Thea and Tony is very sexual. Thea is hired part-time to assist Tony with his company’s possible financial issues. They are both part of the BDSM community but Thea keeps it separate from her work life. The book is full of intrigue and interaction between the two of them which makes for a good read.

This book is part BDSM and part mystery and it is so well written that even if you guess ‘who done it’ it doesn’t matter. I love that there is no angst between Thea and Tony, their relationship is never in doubt all that is in doubt is whether Thea will come and work for Tony and who took the picture. Tony is the perfect Dom, he’s the perfect man actually, who not only knows his sub to perfection, he also recognizes and capitalizes on her innate abilities as a forensic accountant. Thea is brilliant, fair and strong and her relationship with Tony as his sub is so hot that this book sizzles. A great read.
