Description
She’s a take-charge woman. But he’s a master of control.
Skye Manning knows what she wants. Her job as assistant and photographer for a major social media influencer isn’t perfect, but it’s a rung on the ladder to bigger and better things. She’s confident she’ll one day take feature photos for National Geographic.
Self-made billionaire Braden Black maintains control in every aspect of his life. When a chance encounter with the refreshingly innocent and beautiful Skye piques his interest in more ways than one, he’s determined to make her submit.
Dating a billionaire soon has Skye in the middle of a Cinderella story…until the clock strikes midnight and Braden reveals his dark side. Heat sizzles between them, and Skye finds herself falling hard.
But Braden Black is no Prince Charming, and his dark desires are far from his only secret.

5By BreyLealI AM IN LOVE WITH THIS. I NEED THE NEXT 3Unoriginal
1By blush7667Too many similarities with 50 Shades.Loving it
5By gatorgirl@0317On the edge of my seat waiting to turn every pageA bit disappointed
3By VSH888I was enjoying the story and the characters until Skye just got all needy and insecure like a teenager. She started off with such a strong personality, I understand she slowly gives up control... but all that jealousy is just annoying.Look out Fifty Shades...there is a new series in town
5By MoohnshineLook out Fifty Shades, because you have got some competition. This book is .....wow!! I’m speechless right now. Absolutely speechless. Working for Addison Ames, social media influencer is pure torture. But Skye gets to do what she loves...take photographs. Trying to get her photography off the ground is hard work, so she deals with the spoiled heiress. Then one day everything changes the moment he walks in. Braden Black, self-made billionaire is the dark and handsome. He is intriguing to Skye and he demands her control. There is so much she doesn’t know about him, yet she can’t help but give in to his every wish. But control.....can she willingly give up her control? This dark romance is so intense. A read that you will not put down once you start. A read so dark and lovely it will pull you in and control you. A book that can even have you so invested that you can feel the intensity of pleasure within it’s pages. If you don’t like the BDSM scene, this book will definitely have you thinking about it. It is dark, sensual and oh so demanding. It will reach into you and bring out your darkest and deepest desires. Overall this book to me is knocking Fifty Shades out of that number one spot. Look out Mr. Gray, there’s a new sex God in town. Oh! By the way, this ending....Helen Hardt you’re killing me....January is too far away! Just saying. So readers, give up your control...Mr. Black is waiting....for you.Unputdownable
5By sammyreadsThis is the first time I have read Helen Hardt and I was absolutely speechless. The plot totally unpredictable with so many twist and turns , the characters were well developed and multi faceted that once I started I reading it, it was hard for me to keep it down. Its dark , sexy but everything was written very tastefully, it didn't sound vulgar or cheap. Skye and Branden's characters were both very well developed . I was intrigued by Branden's character , He is a guarded and a self made billionaire and goes single minded after he sets his mind too . From the moment Branden sets his eyes on Skye there is a strong chemistry between these two . There is so much mysteries surrounding these characters , The story ends on the cliffhanger and I cannot wait until Jan to read how their story would unfold. It was absolutely a captivating read. A must read !Loved EVERY Page!!!

5By Chelled75I love this story!! I myself fell in love with My husband of 27 years almost instantly!! I love the backgrounds of the characters. In,Ike how Braden had to work hard to get Skye into his bed and she didn’t give in right away.Good Intro to The story
5By Momsof5I can't wait for part 2 I wish Helen wouldn't make us wait so long. I've read all her books so I have nothing to read while I wait. Awesome author.LOVE
5By DkellyyyCouldn’t put the book down! Can’t wait to read the second book!4stars
4By BoothissuxThis is the first book that I have read by this author. I enjoyed the writing style. It kept the book interesting and it flowed well. The main characters are Braden and Skye. Braden is a self made billionaire and Skye is a photographer We get to see a glimpse into Braden life but not much. Just enough to keep you curious and waiting for more insight. The intensity between the two starts to heat up by the end of the book. This is book one in the series - not a standalone book. A good read. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.First read from this author but now I’m hooked and obsessed!
5By Samantha B. SokolFirst read from this author but now I’m hooked and obsessed! Skye moved to Boston for college from a small town in Kansas and never left, preferring the city life to the farm she grew up on. Working for a social media influencer, she meets Braden Black, a billionaire with a past with her boss, and her world, as she knew it starts to unravel. As her relationship starts to build with Braden, her professional world starts to crack with her new boyfriend being her boss’ ex-boyfriend of sorts, but nobody will tell her what went down. Regarding her relationship, she starts to learn the tastes that Braden has in the bedroom, and while she’s interested in exploring that she also stands her ground at exclusivity. This was my first read from this author and it definitely won’t be my last especially with the cliffhanger in this read! I really enjoyed her style of writing and for the most part the pace of the plot was pretty good. I cannot wait to find out what happens with this couple as well as Skye’s career! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.Amazing
5By LilJennyBethCouldn’t put it down and cannot wait for the next one!Hot and Sexy!!!
5By BabymidoriThis book was so amazing that I read it in one day! This is the first book in the Follow Me trilogy by Helen Hardt and I can’t wait for the second book, Follow Me Under. I enjoyed reading Skye and Braden’s story and it’s undeniable how intense their chemistry. Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy and all views expressed are my honest opinion.Anxiously await for Follow Me Under
5By DBBookLoveOne avoids relationships entirely while the other has limited experience. Both want control but one must submit to get what they want. The push and pull between Braden and Skye is a roller coaster of emotions and while I am not a fan of cliffhangers, I anxiously await for Follow Me Under.Riveting!
5By AstroyicWow! Loved the start of this series. So intense, addictive, delicious, full of desire, passion, nerve wracking tension and sizzling chemistry as these two characters fight for ultimate control. I am so invested in Skye and Braden. These characters really worm their way into your heart, while also totally consuming your mind. This riveting story quickly captivates and pulls you into this dark and sexy world. Can’t wait for more!
