Follow Me Under is one Decadent, Powerful and Sendu read. I really loved the story and the characters are very well written.

I Cannot Recommend this book enough to all Readers. A Must read for all Readers.

This was a steamy little drama. I think you should definitely read the first one In order to keep up with the drama. However, there is also a fair amount of the book that is just hot sex scenes. It reminds me of dark romance/50 shades type of story but with a modern influencer/social media twist. If you’re here for the hot hot hot scenes then you’re in the right place but it was the actual story aside from the sex that didn’t really draw me in. While this wasn’t for me I do have to say that anyone who’s looking for something sexy to get into this would probably be a good place to start.

MORE MR BLACK PLEASE...

Whining, bitching and moaning is not an attractive quality in anybody. And that is all Skye Manning seems to be doing in Book 2: Follow Me Under by Helen Hardt. At times, she is a train wreck. At every turn, she is always questioning Braden, his thoughts, and actions.

“ Sign this” – he says
Why” – she asks
“Did Addison sign it” – she asks
“I can’t tell Tess?” – she asks
“But I tell her everything” – she says

Ya, ya… enough already!!! And it goes on and on and on. Its exhausting. She is not a likeable character for me, but she kept me engaged. Sometimes, I wanted Braden to throw a book at her – FOR ME!!!! Why doesn’t she get the fact Braden chooses to play in New York and not home in Boston? Its what any smart billionaire with a kink would arranged.
Speaking of Mr. Black: Mystery is good. I like not having all the answers and following a trail of breadcrumbs. Hence my love of Braden Black. And when one of his secrets are revealed, I wanted to forget it immediately.
While the sex keeps getting amped up, and there is plenty to keep our BDSM hearts fluttering, I want more Braden Black outside the bedroom.

Skye needs to be thankful he has not kicked her to the curb. Girl, grow up and wash your face!!!!

An aspiring social media influencer catches Braden Black's eye. When he won't give her the one thing Skye craves, she'll do anything for him. Skye will discover that she truly has the power to have anything she wants and the payoff this time is far greater than likes on her social media accounts.

Don't miss this steamy series from Helen Hardt!

Follow Me Under is the2nd book in the Follow Me trilogy and picks up where book 1 left off. This novel was sensual and engrossing, and takes Skye deeper into the BDSM world where she begins to find out what she's been missing and what she likes and dislikes. Braden and Skye both grew in this story and their relationship deepened however Braden is still holding back and there is still so much we don't know about him. The chemistry between them was undeniable and explosive and I can't wait to see where their relationship goes and if they can overcome the obstacles in their way. I enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to lovers of erotic billionaire romance.

“Are you ready, Skye?”
“For.....all of this?”
“To follow me under. To the darkest side of my fantasies?”
I swallow, my heart stampeding. “Yes, Braden. I’m ready.”

Oh the passion, intimacy, and desire within this continuation along with the secrets, deception, and manipulation as Skye and Braden delve deeper into their relationship. The controlling tendencies of Braden are honestly a turn on as he allows Skye the option to choose what lifestyle she wants, a true Master in the world of BDSM. One thing I can say that started to lose my interest was the fact that there wasn’t much more different than the first one, except Skye’s career taking off and her introduction into the dark side.

Braden is slowly opening up, unnoticed and unappreciated by Skye as she always wants more. Which honestly is another turn off with this book, the level of uncertainty yet curiosity on her behalf is unnerving. She is already struggling with who she is as a person, trying to separate herself from being just “Braden Black’s” girlfriend while she is still trying to prove herself as an influencer with a tad bit of jealousy of her former boss, and now her six year friendship with Tessa is on the rocks. Finding herself as an individual without always leaning on someone else is annoying in itself.

It’s going to be interesting to see how Helen unfolds this story and their relationship in the next book. Hopefully all unanswered questions will come to light, allowing Skye to finally relax and stop question her relationship with Braden while she finds out who she really is to stand on her own two feet. Besides the continuation of the plot, the intimacy within this story was on fire and full of steamy scenes that leaves the reader wanting more. May 25th cannot get here quick enough, hoping to see a change in Skye’s demeanor and neediness for validation to survive. Also, excited to continue to witness Braden evolving into a man that accepts what he is feeling rather than running.

GAHHHH!!!! I am absolutely addicted to this series. I need more! The endings are killing me. I must know how this turns out. The huge secret is driving me insane. Which is exactly what Hardt wants...everyone hooked until the very last word. She nailed it! I can't wait to see how this turns out. It's a deliciously sexy story with lots of detail. The flow is great. It's just a damn good read!

Gahhh I can’t wait for the conclusion!! Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Love Helen Hardt.

Thank you so much Helen and Entangled Publishing again and again.

3.5⭐️
This book picks up right where the last one ended, following Skye and Braden in their new and at time uncertain relationship. Braden has a taste for the more sexual forbidden/taboo, and likes his control, in and out of the bedroom and boardroom. Braden is harboring a secret, one he had no desire to share with Skye.
Skye the first woman to hold Braden’s heart is new to this experience. I will say, Skye at times infuriated me, she had way too much of an internal struggle. She knew who Braden was and still would try and manipulate situations to have a different result.

I’m curious to see how the third and final book in the series plays out.

Our story continues as Skye finds that she is having trouble letting go of her curiosity about Braden and Addison’s past relationship. On the verge of losing him, she agrees to finally let go and give him control in the bedroom. But as the relationship progresses she suddenly feels as if she is losing all control in her life. Who is she really? Will she lose everything including Braden to figure it out?

This story is really intense and intriguing. The heat level is boiling between her and Braden. He is dominant and demands obedience. But as I read the story, I can’t help but feel like he is tearing her down mentally. Maybe she just isn’t mature enough emotionally to understand everything.

I felt sad for Skye. She is suffering at her own hand. Making poor decisions and not thinking things through properly. But Braden is always in control and at times seems to be taking charge of everything.

Overall this book is forbidden, yet exciting to read. It is dark in nature and not suitable for shy or weak minded individuals. The content delves deep into a world of BDSM that most authors don’t grasp when telling these romance stories. Helen Hardt’s delivery is spot on and will have you addicted. And if you weren’t curious before, you will be. It’s hot yet intimidating while intriguing at the same time. The characters are unique and developed perfectly, each playing their part in this wonderful story of love ad dominance.

I can’t wait to read the last installment to see if Skye’s deepest darkest desires come true. Or will she lose everything even herself?

The mysterious Mr Black opens up a little in follow me under and he leaves us wanting more. I truly enjoy the mystery of him and his past, as layers are pulled a way a new mystery is revealed and yes he sucked me into his world.

Skye's character still has me puzzle its like one moment she's strong and defiant and then at other times she seems out of things.

Overall this was a good book and I was enjoyed the story and characters. The differences between Braden and Skye, plus they're chemistry kept me engaged with the story line, can't wait to see what comes next.

I NEED MORE!

Skye and Braden are learning to navigate this new relationship and sexual desires. When everything else in Skye's life starts to crumble, she turns to Braden and his club for solace, but one request threatens to destroy everything between them.

This story is hot, steamy, and captivating. Follow Me Under is a dark BDSM series that'll leave you breathless.
This book is well-written, entertaining, and perfect for anyone who loves dark romances.

Follow Me Darkly (Follow Me# 1) by Helen Hardt is the story about Skye Montgomery. She is an aspiring photographer who is the personal assistant to social media influencer Addison Ames. When an old friend of Addison visits the office Skye is instantly smitten with billionaire eligible bachelor Braden Black. When Braden takes Skye out for a bite to eat, soon into the the meal he tells her he wants to take her to bed. What starts out as a reluctant one night stands eventually morphs into her becoming his girlfriend. As things get hotter between them so do the thing they do in the bedroom. As a control freak Skye is not only concern with why he would want her but what happened between Addison and Braden. It has been awhile since I have read anything from this author. I really loved her Blood Bond Saga series. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed this author's storytelling style till I was into this book. I didn't get much sleep. I couldn't put it down. I liked the characters. The chemistry between Skye and Braden is hot got hot. A man of mystery always gets my attention. Braden definitely has some ghost and secrets in his closet. Trying to uncover them is something Skye wants to do and so do I. Skye is discovering she has a dark and kinky side however how far will she allow Braden to go before all hell breaks loose. I can't wait to find out. 4.5 stars for me. This book has left we salivating for more.

Relationships should have two sides, but, sometimes, they have one. Not by choice, but by circumstance!

Braden continues to ask Skye for openness, communication, yet, Braden remains somewhat closed. He is starting to open up though! Thank you Skye! I think you are breaking into Braden's heart!

I definitely Followed Them Under! And cannot wait for the next in the series! Loved it!!!!!

I received an advanced reader copy, and this is my honest and voluntary review.

🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐

This Series has gotten Darker, Sexier, Kinkier, HOTTER with This Unputdownable Addition. A Gripping Story with its Heart-racing Elements AND The "Omg?!" Cliffhanger that has me counting days until the Finale.
I fell in love With Braden & Skye a little more here! DEVOURED this within 6hrs.

This Book Picks up exactly where the last one ended. And Gladly, Skye Confronts Braden about the Reason of his Breakup with Addison, Skye's Ex-boss, 10yrs ago. Did she get the truth?

Braden Never meant to fall in love With Skye, but he did..& Now Resisting it is Proving Futile. I loved seeing him opening up here, both Emotionally & with his Secrets. But he's still keeping some Secrets..While demanding All of hers.



So, I was hoping we delve into Deeper BDSM here & We Did. It was Fucking Blazing hot & Enlightening! As story Progresses, They explored The Sensual Side & Bondage.
“...There’s more to sex than cock in pussy. A lot more. And Skye, we’ve only just begun.”

There are Roses but there are thorns too.. Addison being one. His Controlling nature Bleeding into Skye's Daily life now is 2nd.

Skye's Climbing the Instagram influencer Ladder, Finding her darker side with Braden..But is she losing herself in the process?

"I will not yield control of the rest of my life to anyone. Not even Braden Black."

Even though Identity Crisis was Getting to her, Braden & Skye grow Closer here. And, The Kinks helped her center in the Chaos. Unleashing a Side of her that neither expected. But He underestimated her limits. What happens when she wants Something that is HIS Hard-limit?

With a Big Revelation, Came the Cliffhanger! I'm so excited for the Next Book but gotta wait till 25 May..!

P.s. I really hope that we get Braden's POV, even if only a Bonus Chapter... I'll love to see the world through him!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Dating Boston's billionaire bachelor has opened up a new world for Skye Manning. Opportunities are suddenly everywhere, her new career is flourishing, and she experiences luxury she's only seen in the pages of magazines. So why does she feel like she is losing herself?
Braden Black never mean to fall in love with Skye, and he still tries to resist a relationship he knows he's not wired for. But not only has Skye awoken something inside him-he's stirring something dark and forbidden inside his Cinderella. Something even he can't control.

This is the second book in Helen Hardt's Follow Me Series. You have to read Follow Me Darkly first or you are going to be lost. This book picks up right where the first one left off. I so couldn't wait to get this book in my hands. I just had to know what was going to happen to Braden and Skye. I really loved this book but I wasn't the biggest fan of how Skye questions herself and thinks she is a fraud in this book. However I can see why she was doing it I just didn't like her questioning herself. However this is a huge reason why I believe what happens at the end of the book happens and I am sure not giving that away. This book is so very very good. You get to spend more time with these two. You learn so much more about both Skye and Braden. I devoured this book and now I can not wait for the third one. I have to know what is going to happen as I closed this book with my heart in my throat. If you haven't started this series you are going to want to right way. Do not miss this one. It is absolutely amazing.

Trust and Communication are two words that make a relationship work, but what happens when those two things are tested?

Braden and Skye still have a long way to go in their relationship. They love each other but are they sure they know what that really means. There shouldn’t be secrets, but for some reason, Braden is hiding something. Every time Skye wants to ask about his past there always comes an argument. Will we ever learn what he is hiding.

I didn’t think a book could get any hotter than the last one, but Braden and Skye sure know how to bring the heat.

Answers are what I’m hoping for in Follow Me Always, I’m impatiently waiting for them.

This book picks up where the first book left off. This book is full of emotion with so many ups and downs. We see a new side to Braden too...exciting! Helen once again writes a book that is hard to put down and keeps readers pinned to every word in their kindle! I can't wait till the final book!!!

Oh My ! Skye and Bradens story has gotten hotter and sexier this series is a unputdownable addictive gripping read it’s sexy it’s kinky and so emotionally charged . Skye is discovering the world of BDSM and Braden is enjoying her discovery . These two still have issues galore that they have to work on . Braden loves Skye fiercely but is still holding back . They both have trust issues and are keeping secrets . Can these two make a go of their love ? Can’t wait for the next book in this series hopefully we get more into Bradens past . Great read I love anything this author writes she has a knack for writing kinky stories with heart that give you all the feels. Definite must read!

Phenominal book.... If I could give this book more stars I would have.... Helen Hardt totally blew me away with this series and the best part is that it isn't over yet! I need more Braden and Skye! The next book can't come fast enough for me.... I totally loved it and didn't want to put it down at all!
