ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 25, 2021

Self-made billionaire Braden Black is used to getting what he wants when he wants it. So when aspiring photographer Skye Manning doesn’t immediately fall into his bed, Braden finds himself craving her even more. And when she finally does submit to him, no one is more surprised than Braden that the thrill of the chase didn’t satisfy his appetite—to the contrary, it only fuelled it. Behind Skye’s dedication and focus, he sees a natural submissive, and he’s determined to bring her out.

Skye Manning takes charge of her life. Everything she does brings her one step closer to her goal of becoming an internationally known photographer. Until Braden Black. He challenges her, shows her more pleasure than she ever imagined between the sheets, but he asks something in return—something she can never give up. Her control.

But Braden Black never backs down from a challenge.

REVIEW: Darkly by Helen Hardt is the third book in the Follow Me series, going into this read, be warned that this is NOT the continuation of that book, it’s Follow Me Darkly, but from Braden’s point of view. As always, I’m a sticker for reading a series in order, but for this one, I don’t think it’s really necessary as it’s the first book told from the main male lead’s perspective.

Wow! I was a huge fan of Braden and Skye from the beginning of the series, but to get their origin story from Braden’s view was an entirely different feeling. The man is like Batman, mysterious and dark, filled with secrets, his need to control, to dominate. His character is one I have very, very much enjoyed reading. Reading the scenes from the previous books and getting just a little understanding as to why he is thinking what he is thinking, why he is doing what he is doing, were by far my most favorite of the book.

I wish we saw more of his softer side, or maybe more of his softer side with Skye, Braden is always so focused on winning control from her that I think parts of their relationship is missing. Nevertheless, Darkly was a treat to read, it left me with questions of course, but ones I will happily wait to be revealed!
