If you love stories that dare to go deeper into the complexities of love, desire, and power, Always is a must-read!

Always is Braden's POV in the story Follow Me Always by Helen Hardt. This book had some fantastic moments, in depth character monologues, and definitely some SPICE! If you like BDSM representation with a side of "he is protecting her from herself" vibes this is it! The spice scenes were spiiiiicy!

This was 3-stars for me because while I enjoyed the story, especially in Braden's POV, I felt like the plot went in circles over and over again. I did enjoy the character development, and seeing a male represented with self-awareness. The concept of "figuring out yourself before being with someone else" is portrayed well in this book!

Happy reading!!

Thank you Entangled Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC!

*Always* delivers a sizzling finale to the *Follow Me* series. Braden and Skye’s chemistry is intense, pushing boundaries while confronting emotional stakes. The tension between love and control keeps the story engaging. Hardt blends passion and depth, making this a steamy, satisfying conclusion for fans of their journey.

This book was good. It took me a bit of time to read it but that is because my tastes in books have changed and I’m not into the bdsm books as much anymore.

I do recommend and ai have recommended it to a few people.

Always by Helen Hardt is an enchanting addition to the Follow Me Series, it delves deeper into the passionate relationship between Braden and Skye. From the first page it draws you back into the lives of Braden and Skye and the intense bond they have. They are struggling to find their balance between desire, trust and their vulnerability they feel when together. This is a book you can just pick up and start reading it is part of a collection and you definitely need to understand both of these characters because this book is a continuation of their relationship. Braden, is a man who thrives on control and Skye is the one person who makes him feel out of control and challenges him in ways no one ever has. On the other hand, Skye, is a force of nature, who is determined to push boundaries, she's also strong and goes after what she wants. The chemistry between these two are tense, hot and passionate. This story isn't just about the desires of Braden and Skye but they are both on a journey of self-discovery and the courage it takes to let it all go for the sake of love. If you have loved Braden and Skye from the beginning like I have this is a must read!

Always is a wonderful conclusion of the Follow Me series. This needs to be read in order and is told through Braden's view. You finally get the big picture of both Skye and Braden's past trauma that shaped them into they are now. Skye finds her footing and learns so much about her childhood. I love how she's still pushing Braden's buttons. Braden is finally owning his feelings and opening up about everything with Skye. You feel there love still growing And shaping itself into forever love. All questions answered and all that stands in their way is cleaned up. I love the dynamics and chemistry between Skye and Braden. They are made for each other and know how far to push those buttons. I could not get enough of this one. I loved this series so much. If you haven't had a chance to read this series binge it now. Go one click this today.

This book is told in Braden’s point of view. Please do yourself a favor and read the previous books in the series first. Braden’s perspective captivated me even more with his and Skye’s relationship. The emotions this book evoked were crazy. I’m so glad Ms.Hardt wrote Braden’s POV. I absolutely loved it!

It gave me an interesting ride since it was written from the male lead's POV.

The start already had me hooked and sent me on an emotional rollercoaster.

I think I should have read the rest of the series but I'll go back and read from book one since this book was such a good read.

Always by Helen Hardt is Follow Me Always but told from Braden's point of view. If you haven't read the previous books in the series, it is HIGHLY recommended you do.

As always with this author she writes with such depth to her characters. Skye and Btaden’s story is so engaging and interesting to read, so getting to experience a little more of it from a different perspective was so perfect. Braden is a silent enigma of a man, his story with Skye throughout the books dominates the plot so much so that the reader can’t help but want more and more.

Digging into his past from his own point of view was like finding buried treasure, it’s so rare and fragile, but that just makes you want it even more. While Braden buried treasure, Skye was the one to uncover him, she pulled him out from behind a closed heart and brought him into the light. She challenged him more and more, and that was such a strong dynamic in their relationship. Now when the spicy parts hit; of course they were off the charts. Even more so when being viewed from Mr. Bossypants point of view, the man lived for Skye.

While some might consider Always to just be a retelling of the same book, I wholeheartedly disagree. Always adds depth to characters readers already know and love, and a little extra to the plot as well. Skye and Braden’s relationship survived secrets, death and major conflicts that frankly most relationships don’t and because of this readers (like myself) will always want to come back for more from this talented author.

I liked the other books in this series. I've enjoyed Skye and Braden. I even liked seeing their romance from Braden's viewpoint in Darkly. This book however failed to engage me. Hardt's writing is again well done. The story has the heat of the previous books. The actual events have already been dealt with in previous books with almost nothing new added in this retelling. I'm also past caring anymore about this couple's dysfunction. It's been dragging on too long now.

I hate having to leave this mediocre review. I'll take the heat for it being my preference not Hardt's story or writing.

Thanks to the author and Entangled:Amara for the ARC.

This brings back so many memories as it has been a while since I Braden and Skye's story. Just goes to show you how different a mans perspective is from a womens. I loved both stories and know you will also love it.

4.75 stars

This is the sixth book in the Follow Me series and it is not a standalone. Oh, how I missed Braden and Skye and Ms. Hardt has put them through the wringer here. The couple that you thought, or hoped, could make it through is showing cracks but it should have been expected as Braden was never one for relationships. However, when you meet the one, the heart wants what the heart wants but are they both ready to face their respective demons? Overall, this is a well written, enjoyable storyline with a myriad of moments, some frustrating and others romantic that make the pages turn to see what will develop. Braden and Skye have always had serious chemistry and the inclusion of the other characters heighten the storyline. If you enjoy the spicier side of things, then I recommend reading this series.

I’m not sure why, but I just couldn’t get into this book. I enjoyed the previous books with Braden and Skye but this one just didn’t hold my attention. It had nothing to do with Ms Hardt’s writing. It might have something to do with some of the subject matter (but, that’s on me). If you have enjoyed the previous books, give it a try and see for yourself.

I love how this author has chosen to tell the story from the hero and heroine’s points of view giving a whole new perspective on things. I initially read the series from Skye’s POV, and I’ll admit my sympathies lay with her. There was always an aura of mystery about the dominant, self-made billionaire Braden so was Always going to be the key to finally understanding this enigmatic man? Until Skye he didn’t do meaningful relationships especially not the boyfriend/girlfriend variety, the closest he’d come to one was an ongoing stalker situation and something he refused to discuss. When it came to talking about anything about his past, he was a vault, but things came to a head when Skye wanted to try the one thing that was his hard limit. When she challenged him about it, he initially turned it back on her but if they were to have a future, both were going to have to confront their pasts head on.

When it comes to steam factor the chemistry between Braden and Skye was a definite ten especially as they explored Skye’s fascination with bondage and things got darker between them. Helen Hardt did a fantastic job developing this side of their relationship. Its just a pity the same can’t be said for the rest of their life together. There was no doubting they loved one another but there didn’t seem to be any trust although if I’m being honest I found it strange that the submissive Skye pushed for something he didn’t want and can’t help wonder how she would’ve felt if it had been the other way around and Braden was pressuring her to do something that was a hard limit for her. I may have started this series routing for Skye but by the end I was team Braden.

Always is #6 in the Follow Me Series!

Wow, what a thrilling and emotional conclusion to this series! The story takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions, from intense lust and passion to intense frustration and love. As these two characters battle for control and their relationship, we’re left on the edge of our seats, rooting for them to find happiness together.

Skye Manning and Braden Black’s journey to their happily ever after was absolutely captivating! I loved reading it from Braden’s perspective because it gave us a deeper understanding of their relationship. It was simply amazing!

“Skye has become more than just a woman to me. She is a symbol of everything I never thought I wanted but now need desperately. But can’t have.”

These two are head over heels in love and have an unbreakable bond. But when Skye pushes Braden to the limits, will their happiness and love be shattered or will their love be their salvation? You’ll have to read to find out!

I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

Oh my goodness the book that I didn’t know I needed in my life. I didn’t know I was missing Braden & Skye until now. And it’s been over two years since I have read their last book and I felt like I was revisiting two old friends. Their story came back like I read it yesterday.

I absolutely loved reading Braden’s point of view. And picking up where “Under” left off, I loved watching Braden & Skye continue their journey to find their happily ever after.

I loved this series behind words.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

As much as I normally love Helen Hardt, this one fell so flat for me. Brayden and Skye kept going in circles, and it felt so primal that I didn't feel like he loved her at all. The spice was good, as I expected, but the book didn't go anywhere. Is it bad to say that I liked Ben and Tessa's story more than this last installment involving Brayden and Skye? I just felt so disconnected from the characters. Nothing felt totally resolved, and it was annoying to see Brayden talk down to her constantly. Overall, this was a quick read, but it wasn't very memorable and wasn't my favorite of Helen's. Thank you to Entangled for the e-ARC to read and review!

Always... and forever

The final instalment of Braden Black's POV in the Follow Me series has arrived. ALWAYS is the perfect companion novel to Follow Me Always providing wonderful insight into the thoughts of this enigmatic man. I've enjoyed all six books in this series, but I have especially the ones from Braden's POV.

ALWAYS concentrates on Braden and Skye Manning relationship. Secrets are revealed, promises are made, emotions are on display, and conflicts are sorted. Braden and Skye's chemistry is a continuing constant, as is their need to be with each other. While there is a differing of opinion, leading to Skye needing some time and space, Braden is determined to have her a part of his life. The need to resolve the hurts from their childhood to enable them to move on to a future together became a drive in their relationship.

ALWAYS was a terrific read and conclusion to the series. While this instalment was not as dramatic as the previous two from Braden's POV, it was the undisputed love between them that really shone. A highly recommended book and series.

FOUR STARS

It is extremely interesting to read multiple points-of-view and Ms. Hardt did an exceptional job with this in "Always!"

It's been a long time since I've visited this world and these characters so this was a really nice escape and return!

Skye and Braden's story is definitely one that I want to find the time to start from the beginning and read the books back to back!

I do recommend reading the "Follow Me" series!
