Follow Me Under is even sexier and darker than the first book in the series. Helen Hardt's writing is so captivating and sensual which makes this book impossible to put down. Skye and Braden's relationship is so addicting and I absolutely love reading more of their story.

The book picks up right where the story left off. Skye and Braden are in love with each other but she is finding it hard to find out more about him the person rather than his celebrity. Addison Ames, her ex-boss, and Braden's past relationship is still lingering in the back of her mind. Will Braden ever admit what actually happened? If not, will Skye ever be able to let it go?

This book is so good because there is so much unknown and dark about Braden. Yes, he is opening up with Skye but still loves control. Things begin to get a little more complicated when Braden begins to want more control of Skye's life and not just in the bedroom. There are times when I feel like he is too demanding especially when he wants Skye to be honest with him when he isn't as transparent when she asks the same of him. But that is what makes this story and relationship so intriguing.

As the story goes on, I love that Skye is growing on a personal and business level. She is starting to explore and understand more about what pleasure means to her and what she likes and doesn't like in the bedroom. But she is struggling in this book. I felt the tension the entire time like she was about to break at any moment. She too likes control and it seems like the more control she gives up the more she is losing. She is struggling with her confidence, being a good friend, and just being enough. As she is leading this new high-profile life, she has lost who she is.

Braden also grew so much in this book. I don't think he will ever lose his need to dominate or control but he sure began to break down some of his emotional walls. He never thought he could love someone and yet he loves Skye. I think we see just how much he loves her in a couple of beautiful scenes. His love comes through when he sees Skye hurting.

There is a big revelation at the end of this book and I am so eager to see how it all plays out in the third book.

I give Follow Me Under 5 stars. I love reading about Skye and Braden and this book just took their story to a whole new level. I was intrigued by Braden's dark side, blushed at every sexy scene, and captivated by Skye's personal growth along with her struggles. Helen Hardt's writing continues to dazzle with this series. I am anticipating the conclusion to this series.

Helen Hardt knows how to bring the spice! I have to be honest the second book was not as good as the first but that makes sense. Book one we are intorduced to Braden and Skye and learning who they are and how they will fit together. Book two is good and builds upon the drama that unfolds in book one.

In this book we (and Skye) are introduced into more of Braden's life. We meet his family, his NY life, and the butt plug! We also get to see how Skye's new insta fame is impacting her and her friends. It is about self realization for both Skye and Braden that is supposed to bring them together but Skye is soon thrown into a world that shocks but excites her. This new world pulls her in and potentially away from Braden. Very excited for the finale.

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

Now that I’ve had a few minutes to lay down and digest what the heck I just read, my only thought is: W O W. I am gobsmacked. I absolutely devoured Follow Me Darkly when it came out and fell in love with Skye and Braden. This only made it ten times larger.

Immediately following the events of Follow Me Darkly, Follow Me Under picks up and never slows down. The quick pacing, the character arcs continuing to grow, the prose, the dynamics- all fantastic and flawless. I truly felt like I went on the journey as Skye. Honestly, I wish I did. This was well thought out and incredibly well executed. It added more to the sexy, but took nothing away from the plot. Watching Skye grow and learn has been beautiful and so fun. I love how she’s becoming confident, yet still depends on Braden.

Don’t even get me started on my love for Braden. His walls are slowly coming down and his small gestures truly melt my heart. They only get better and better and I only want one for my own more and more.

Helen absolutely smashed it out of the park with Follow Me Under and now I will wallow in the darkness as I await for Follow Me Always. Fantastic. If you’re looking for a great adult romance series with A LOT of spice, look no further!
