I love Braden and Sky! This is the second book in the series, but you need to have read the first to understand. I liked learning more about Braden, but left me with more questions. I could not put it down. And now I can’t wait for book three to come out and see how it all turns out.

My heart is tied up in knots! Follow Me Under continues with the Braden and Skye's journey to find love among their chaotic lives. A beautifully dark continuation of Tessa and Braden's story that will leave you breathlessly awaiting the conclusion in Follow Me Always. My heart was not prepared for the emotional highs and lows you'll go through as the reader, but I couldn't put this book down once I started!

This is the second book in the Follow Me Trilogy, an erotic romance. The story continues where the first book ended. Skye and Braden's story is captivating. In this installment, we learn a little more about them. Braden is dominant, possessive, intriguing, and secretive. Skye is adventurous, pushy and greedy. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and I can't wait to read the last book in this trilogy, Follow Me Always.

Man oh man, where to start?
Let’s start with the one positive I have which is that the writing improved immensely since the first book. I think Helen Hardt writes in a way that makes the reader engaged and eager to turn the page.
That aside, the characters, in particular Braden, took a nosedive from the first book in my opinion. I know some readers love the Alphahole character but I don’t. They do nothing but infuriate me. Yes the characters are in a BDSM like relationship but no boundaries are set. Heck Skye doesn’t even have a safe word! That’s so dangerous! The “hero” manipulates, gaslights and emotionally abuses the heroine yet says he loves her??
Also, for some reason the “hero” thinks he can control the heroine’s decisions. Excuse me but are you her handler or her boyfriend? And the heroine just lets him get away with so much shit! She’s not even having orgasms for like 12 chapters! Why are you with this dude?!? Like what is her reason? I just don’t get it. I don’t buy this relationship or its dynamics.
Plus after 12 chapters the sex scenes started to feel repetitive.
Unfortunately this second installment wasn’t for me. The characters are too toxic and actually make me angry haha.

Good grief this is better than the first book!!! It's emotional and far more than what you can grasp. I was literally on the edge with this at the end.
"I want to answer. More than I’ve ever wanted anything, I want to open up and give him what he’s asking for."
These two are back at it again. Skye and Braden are together but yet miles apart in some areas of the relationship.
It's not so much Braden resistance this time as it is Skye holding back herself.
The intense scenes leave you breathless and have you craving for more!!!

4.5 stars
This is the second book in the Follow Me series and Skye and Braden are back. This book is not a standalone and picks up where the first one left off. It is not easy being the girlfriend of a billionaire even though it opened up new paths for Skye. However, with all of the good things happening, Skye is still harboring thoughts of the relationship that transpired between Braden and her ex-boss Addison which causes some friction between them. Nevertheless, the two seem to be on the same page when it comes to their desires and Skye is growing there as well. However, there are some boundaries that even Braden will not cross. What will happen when push comes to shove if Skye is determined to get her way? This is one edgy storyline that will keep readers on their toes as the pages turn. The inner turmoil that Skye feels is intense and at times can feel a bit overdone. Ms. Hardt has a way of evoking feelings from the words she chooses creating an all-encompassing atmosphere. Overall, this is one steamy, intriguing read from beginning to end. I volunteered to read a copy of this book provided by Netgalley.

This is the second book in the series. Helen is a very talented author. She has penned another sensually captivating story. Brandon and Skye are together. Skye loves him and he says he does but he is keeping secrets. Skye is totally consumed by Brandon and their relationship. Brandon still has an aura of mystery and his past is a secret . I throughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for last book in this series to come out. Definitely worth the wait after reading the first book follow me darkly. Can’t wait for follow me always.

This series is just getting better and better, the steam the mystery, all the suspense is killing me slowly. The challenges, their past, the plotline, everything in between will simply drag you into a world where you won't be able to stop reading, beware of the hot scenes because they are volcano level. Definitely one you need to read if you like erotica BDSM world story. Branden and Skye are scorching hot. I need to know that secret please!

Passion, love are a hard dark mix in this intoxicating read. Braden and Skye are so addicting that you crave more than just the two books worth of their passion. There love steams off the pages from the words written on the page.
Love is an inadequate word for how much I enjoy read this book. Their relationship growing through out the two books is addicting. For me this is yet another couple that has been branded into my psyche.
I give this more that 5 stars I give this book 10!

Raw passion and delectable characters! With the second book in her Follow Me series Helen Hardt once again takes us into the world of Skye and Braden and the journey is delightful! The intensity of their relationship is high and the passion is on fire. I missed some of the depth to the plot that the first book had outside of the bedroom, but overall I enjoyed the continuation of their story. I'm looking forward to book three!

Skye keeps her down to earth attitude even though fame is knocking on her door. She tries to juggle all of the aspects of her life now that she's part of Braden's world, but she keeps dropping balls and trying to figure out what place she really holds in every situation.

Braden is intense and sultry. He might have opened a door that even he's not ready for when the hunted becomes the prey.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a dominant man showing his new love the way into the world he enjoys.

Wow this is book 2 in the follow me series and like always helen 1. Didnt disappoint but 2. She left us hanging again haha!
This was an other great read as we learn more about Brandon and skye, she slowly is peeling away the layers of them separately and together. It's hot, sexy, funny and has you turning page after page begging for more! Yet an other amazing book and series. A must read!

This is the second book in the Follow Me Darkly series and it is best to read this after reading Follow Me Darkly in order to enjoy this couple's overall journey.

Their relationship is established and being Braden's girlfriend is bringing many opportunities for Skye. She's also experiencing a little bit of imposter syndrome. Like the only reason, companies want to work with her is because of her relationship. Run-ins with her former boss feed into her insecurities and the things Braden won't share regarding that relationship. While Braden is struggling with the feelings Skye has stirred in him. He also awakened something dark in Skye.

The STEAM is still there and I can't wait to see what comes next for this couple in book three. So if you enjoy erotic romance you should grab this series.

Thanks so much to Entangled, NetGalley, and the author for this ARC to review.

This is the second book in the series and I do recommend reading them in order. Skye is enjoying the new world available to her now that she is dating Boston billionaire Braden Black. Neither were expecting such an intense relationship or any relationship at all. Braden loves to dominate her but Skye but can she trust him with the secrets he is keeping from his past relationships? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense, steam and emotion. Great characters with lots of depth and a story that really draws you in. I liked it.

*sigh* the story of Skye and Braden has lost a bit of its spark with this installment for me. The reason, I honestly don’t think they moved forward in their journey and quite possibly, maybe took a few steps back. I don’t quite know how to explain this without giving you plot points that would spoil the story for you, so this might be vague, *shrug* but here goes …

A relationship and/or person cannot be trusted if there’s no transparency. Allowing someone to believe you are being transparent while you are not, is a really bad thing to do. Someone in this journey is not being transparent and I’m losing faith in the story because of it. Both Braden and Skye behaved in a way that doesn’t really mesh with what I know to be true of the kind of relationship they are portraying. I paused a lot during my reading because I was frustrated with a lot of the story. I’m invested, of course, and I will see their journey thru till the end, but this installment took a drastic nosedive from the first one for me and I’m a little bit sad about that.

I’ve read quite a few books by Helen so I’m not too worried about the story leaving me with questions in the end, so there’s that to look forward to. I do appreciate the level of sexual intensity in the story was kept exceedingly high, which is a pattern set in the first book. So, yeah, this wasn’t my favorite book, but I haven’t lost complete faith in this journey!

The second book in Braden and Skye's story kept me engaged beginning to end. Even though they are in different territory with there relationship some ways are still the same, Braden still wants total control of her without giving up his secrets in return and even though Skye is trying to find her voice she’s also at a standstill realizing that what she does control is just a smokescreen. The doors that have opened for her she only gives the credit to Braden not herself and it’s weighing on her. Can’t wait for the next one

Before you dive into this one you definitely need to read book one. Book two picks up right where the first left off, diving right into the plot. I am a bit torn on this one with the character development even though I enjoyed the steam and the plot progress. Skye was on the naïve side in the first novel and she seemed to grow into herself a bit by the end. I was hoping it would lead more into her growth and owning her sexual identity and prowess. However, she lost more of herself in this book than I expected. She pushed aside friends and harbored anger, insecurities and drama like a hoarder. Maybe it was the purpose of this novel to break her down to this level. Maybe the author wanted to paint this lopsided agreement of trust and giving one’s self to someone. Just maybe what we all think the ending will be won’t be that at all. Just maybe… and you know what? I really like maybes in my books.

I was truly hoping she would embrace trust and move deeper with Braden into his dark world of pleasure. One out of two isn’t bad though and we can’t have trilogies if everything ran smoothly. My one true frustration lies with the secrecy. Though Braden is no angel in this odd relationship of give and don’t receive unless I allow it, Skye still continues to harp on and drag out the issue of his past relationship with her ex-boss. I’m not even in this relationship and she is driving me a bit nuts with it. Plus, some of the not so brilliant ideas she acted on. However, let’s not forget to mention the secrecy of Braden. He’s closed tighter than a Chick-Fil-A on Sunday. How do two people in the BDSM world hold a relationship together if they can’t trust each other? Well readers, I think that is the million-dollar question and the reason why I am super ready for book three!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this break away from my other reads with book two and I love Hardt’s way with all things hot and bothered. Thank you to Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to read this gifted digital copy in exchange for an honest review. I’m excited to see what happens next and if my theories hold!

True rating 3.5/5, rounded.

In book 2 of the Follow Me series, Skye’s life is changing and she feels like a fraud. Her billionaire boyfriend, Braden Black, has opened the door for her as a social media influencer and a new businesswoman, but at what cost to her own identity and self-confidence? Braden controls her in the bedroom, but who has control over her life? She doesn’t know who she is anymore.

I am a big fan of dark romances with alpha males, but Braden has rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning in Follow Me Darkly. His selfishness and demands of trust in and out of the bedroom are not okay and I feel for Skye when she feels lost. I can understand her feelings of inadequacy when everyone around her only sees her as the billionaire’s girlfriend and then her best friend Tessa wants to take a break from her because of who she is perceived to be now. How can anyone not get lost in the penthouses, the private jets, and the social media influencing frenzy?

Braden has dark secrets that he won’t tell her and though Skye opens up to him, shouldn’t he do the same if he wants her to trust him? I have to admit it is good to meet Braden’s brother and father, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are some things not being said about his mother that seem ominous. In addition, Braden won’t say what happened with Skye’s former boss, Addison Adams.

Though Skye wants to be worthy of the man she loves with all her heart, I think Braden should take a long look and consider if he is worthy of her. But first Skye has to deal with something dark that is taking her over.

I recommend this sensual erotic romance that challenges what one sees as normal and what opens the dark side of the psyche that ends in loss and a stunning cliffhanger. I’m desperate to read book 3 which doesn’t come out until May. Sob!

Thank you to Ms. Hardt and Entangled Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.

Firstly, you need to read Follow Me Darkly (Book 1) before starting this.

Helen Hardt delivered an emotionally gripping, addictive and all-consuming continuous of Skye and Braden story.

Braden and Skye's relationship deepens, the more they fall for each other, the more intense it gets, the chemistry and passion between these two are on fire. However, Skye is struggling with Braden's history with her ex-boss Addison. She has a whole lot of self doubt that she needs to work through. As the story unfolds, even more questions about Braden's past surface and the more mysterious he gets. Will these two be able to make it work? Will Skye move past her self doubt? Or will it ruin her chance at being with the love of her life? What are these secrets that Braden has hidden?


Gah, I need to know more! I need to book 3 now! I NEED ANSWERS!
This story has grabbed hold of me. It has my emotions on overdrive, has me swooning like crazy and has me needing to know more about Braden! The author has created a love story that I can't get enough of. It's full of mystery, suspense, passion and heat.. oh so much heat!

5 Stars!

Up & Coming influencer star Skye has the attention of millions including the amazing Braden Black. As Skye is building her name and business Braden is taking her down a dark tunnel of erotic sexual play. Just as Skye is beginning to understand and embrace Braden and like the way he likes being "entertained" he surprises her with a hard limit. With her relationship hanging in the balance how will she ever get back to normal life or is she forever changed?
I love the way Helen Hardt writes about this amazing women who really is strong and independent. Even though Braden has a way of making her drop to her knees and do anything he wants she is still a stronger women than she believes. It will be up to her to learn she has the ability to make it on her own and she may not even have that choice anymore?

I have been dying to get my hands on this book after finishing the first and oh my stars, Hardt did not disappoint. I think what I am loving about it is the whole what will happen or secret will come out next. Braden is a deep character that is so twisty turvy that he keeps you on your toes the whole time. With Skye, I adored seeing her character grow as a whole. But these two together, holy spicy batman!
Overall, this was a great second installment. If you have not touched the first book, turn around, go read it before you touch this one. They start up back to back to each other and honestly, you NEED it in your life. I can say that this one has left me wanting more so I cannot wait to get my hands on the third book and get all those answers I am wanting!
