AHH Braden and Skye's relationship has me mesmerized long after I closed this book.

**I received an ARC from Entangled Publishing in exchange for an honest review**

The questions that needed answered were finally ANSWERED. I really loved watching this relationship near crumbling apart to the end. The journey that both of these characters go on is a whirlwind and self discovery.

Skye needs to learn who she truly is and where her problems truly lie, where as Braden needs to learn to forgive himself and others before he can move on.

Helen Hardt has solidified herself as one of my top favorite authors that I will automatically buy from. Any new book she comes out with will definitely be one that I read!

If you love Erotica, BDSM, true romance, self discovery and some mystery intrigue PICK THIS SERIES UP!! However I do suggest reading Follow me darkly first then follow me under then Darkly (Braden's POV) and then this one!!

Finally! FOLLOW ME ALWAYS *finally* gives readers what they’ve been promised through the course of this series — the mysteries of both Braden’s and Skye’s pasts are revealed, as is the sordid history of Braden and Addie’s relationship. While I can’t say that any of the revelations were truly shocking, it was nice to finally feel like the air was cleared. Those secrets were buried deep and Hardt is indeed a cruel mistress, stringing us along for 2 whole books, and I have to say — the wait was worth it.

Both Braden and Skye have transformed so much over the course of these 3 books and it was nice to finally see them acting like normal people. This book also comes with the requisite conflict that forces each individual to sort of introspectively figure out their own personal issues and work through them in order to move forward together. I loved how supportive each individual was towards the other, and that support is such a huge step for both of them. Before, they were really just two people who came together through sexual attraction , and this book showed how deep their feelings really, are and how they’re so much more than that.

Bottom line — this series was such a fun ride from start to finish, filled with plenty of angst and steam between two characters who will challenge readers as much as they challenge each other. FOLLOW ME ALWAYS provided a satisfying conclusion to the series and I’m thrilled with how things ended, as I’m sure many readers will be. 4 stars.

*Many thanks to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for the digital arc.

Book 3 in the trilogy. It is not a stand alone book. And it is a POV story.
The story picks off where it left our leads in the previous book. It is still very dark, very Erotic, a lot of Bdsm. The Ending was a bit disappointing. It felt very flat. You need to read this series in order to get an understanding of the characters.

Honest opinion provided. Thanks the publisher for this ARC.

Follow Me Always is the conclusion to the Follow Me series by Helen Hardt. This is a series that needs to be read in order.

Follow Me Always picks up right where the second book leaves off, after Skye and Braden end their relationship. What follows is a journey of self-discovery for both characters, that takes them to Kansas and New York in search of their why's in life. Why does Skye crave control? Why does Braden keep parts of his life secret? Do the pair have a future together?

I enjoyed this book! It gave me the emotional connection and journey that I was craving in the first two books and wrapped up Skye and Braden's story beautifully. I love when series can take you on a journey with characters as they grow and change and the Follow Me series definitely does that.

The book is a quick read, with short chapters and I devoured this book in a day. I appreciated the sensitivity warning from the author at the beginning of the book, so please check that out for content warnings prior to reading. Follow Me Always is an erotic BDSM romance, perfect for those that love the 50 Shades of Gray series.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy. Follow Me Always publishes August 10.

“Just in case,” he says. “Your safe word is ‘always.’ Because you’re mine. Always.”

What You’ll Find:
✔️Erotic Romance
✔️BDSM
✔️Twists & Secrets
✔️Continuing Trilogy
✔️Single POV

Follow Me Always picks up right where the last book left off. Skye has a new desire, but it’s a hard limit for Braden. One he won’t do or explain. And this could very well be their breaking point.

“He dares me to try new things. Things I never even conceptualized before. Things I never knew existed. And I’m not just talking about the bondage.”

Braden continues to be this domineering and analytical man. Very black and white. While Skye is more open, and sees grey. But where they are both similar is in the fact they both enjoy the BDSM life. The conclusion to their story steps back a little, focusing more on who are they individually. They do some soul searching into secrets of the past in hopes to aid in having a future together.

“Just because I can’t be with you doesn’t mean I no longer love you.”

These two couldn’t be more destined for each other though, and you’ll route for them. Their chemistry burns bright. But you also get to see a softer side as well, especially from Braden that we hadn’t seen yet.

“But it’s different with you. I want the darkness, but I also want the light.”

I would have liked to have seen more depth. The conflicts felt a little surface level and anticlimactic at times. I wonder if having Braden’s POV included would have helped this for me (which I will have to check out- since he has his own set of books for this series as well)! I personally enjoy having the hero’s POV too. There were twists and turns, secrets and so much more. Overall an enjoyable, steamy series with a sweet ending!

3.75/5

Thank you to the author and Entangled Publishing for this ARC via Netgalley for my honest review. All opinions are my own and given freely.

What a finale for this series! Skye has continued to struggle with not knowing about Braden’s past, and it has caused them to end their relationship. Looking to figure out herself and understand more about her and her past, she travels home to her parents in order to get the answers to the questions she has harbored for so long. To her surprise, Braden shows up at her parents’ house and really helps as a guiding force to push her to get the answers that she needs but also to help them navigate their own relationship. It’s here that we find out what really happened to Braden and Skye’s old boss, and how that changed him in regard to relationships and his future. The pieces that were missing for both Braden and Skye are found in this book and really give us a full circle moment for their happiness. This book really focuses on their relationship growing stronger and shows that relationships are always messy, no matter what the circumstances are. I couldn’t get enough of this series and I cannot wait for the next read from Helen!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

A picture perfect ending for Braeden and Skye. This story had some definite will they or won't they energy as both Skye and Braeden needed to spend some time on self discovery. I loved the focus on mental health in this book. I thought Helen Hardt did a great job addressing the importance and the stigma of seeing a therapist. Skye definitely comes into her own and Braeden lets her in which is so satisfying.

I felt that some of the conflicts in this story, both this book and the overall trilogy were resolved too easily. Felt a little like pulling punches to me some of these big secrets that had been building were simply resolved once revealed. It felt a little anticlimactic, where I was hoping for some big drama and confrontation. at 91% I was concerned there were too many loose ends and wondered if there would be another book, but the epilogue tied up all loose ends.

This series is reminiscent of Billionaire romances like Fifty Shades and the Cross series. Braeden is a definite book boyfriend material and Skye goes through lots of growth from Book 1-3. It is an easily bingeable series.

This is book 3 in a trilogy and can not be read as a standalone.

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily give my review.

What an ending to thrilling and sexy trilogy. I really loved being able to see Skye and Braden's relationship evolve as they faced new challenges. It was a story of self discovery, trust in others and yourself, and facing your demons to find your inner strength. There were also some twists and turns I was NOT expecting!

This series has been such an eye-opening experience. From the superb character development to the hella hot bedroom and non-bedroom scenes, we are delivered a passionate and intense story that is ever consuming. I devoured this and all of the books in the series.

Hardt pours her heart and soul into her craft and Follow Me Always with the deep connections, intensity, splashes of erotica, and the intricate weaving of tension and issues that threaten their relationship. The conclusion is fabulous and definitely worthy of those two lovers.

I never tire of her books. Hardt is an automatic one-click for me!

An emotional conclusion to the Follow Me trilogy! With the third book in the series Helen Hardt brings the heart and soul of Braden and Skye to the surface as conflict arises and loyalties are tested. FOLLOW ME ALWAYS picks up dramatically and the tension is high throughout. While the sequels never quite caught me in the gut as hard as the first introduction to Braden and Sky in book one did, they followed through with an emotional journey of love and acceptance. I enjoyed this trilogy a lot!

Braden is domineering and in total control of his actions ... or he was until he met this woman who makes him want things he never allowed himself to want before. We meet a softer side of Braden in this conclusion.

Skye is sweet and loveable, but she's searching for answers as to why she wants darker things than even Braden is willing to partake in. She learns a lot about herself and how far her love will take her in this story.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a BDSM centered story that brings together an unlikely couple and turns their lives upside down on that trip towards forever!

The last book left us hanging with a lot of questions. In the beginning of this book we see Skye and Braden trying to figure things out for themselves and for the sake of their relationship. They still have the passion and the chemistry, but when they find the answers will they stay together or will it ultimately rip them apart for good. There were a lot of great moments in this book and you find yourself rooting for them. The twist and turns will keep you on your toes. A well written book with loads of chemistry and passion.

Wow! Follow Me Always started on a cliffhanger and it definitely was a hard wait! I love the way things turned out for the couple but I also felt a little disappointed in how abrupt and surface level some of the plot was. The ending was choppy. The whole Situation involving Tessa and the guys was too shallow and the summation too brief really to get me invested. It was fun for a romance novel but it didn’t quite have the quality I prefer. It was certainly spicy but the dialogue could have used some work and like I said, the rest of the plot was a bit lackluster. It was clearly going for a 50 shades thing and even though 50 is not well written AT ALL (not to mention full of britishisms never spoken in the PNW) there was a bit more depth to the drama that kept me invested. This just felt like it was going through the motions for the whole second half of the book. I did love the first half though! I loved that we get to go to Kansas and see what happened in the past. It was nice to finally get the answers we’ve been waiting for since book one. Sadly the Addie storyline feels unfinished, but at least the secrets are out!

One last thing, I’ve read up about the BDSM scene and the community reaction to 50 shades and this book falls into the same pitfalls. Literally no one would conduct a relationship this way with so little upfront communication and aftercare. I can’t tell you how annoying it was that he just rolled over after he finished and didn’t really check on her at all throughout the series—although he seems to get the communication and consent stuff right with his earlier Addie relationship. But like, you don’t do through a tense scene and just roll over after. We’re going to start needing ownvoices writers for BDSM now with all the misrepresentation! Just food for thought!

I am so glad to have received a copy of this third book in the Follow Me series. I devoured the first two books and needed the conclusion of Braden and Skye’s story. I appreciated their willingness to figure themselves out before making a full commitment to each other. I was suspicious of his push for that at first but found the results so rewarding. The conflict wasn’t at all what I expected and I am so glad that I got to binge this book!

In the Follow Me series, I have followed Branson and Skye along their journey, enjoying the ride, the heat, and the seductive story line. In Follow Me Always, we get the entrancing conclusion to their epic romance. The story is dark and sophisticated, fascinating, and unrelenting.

After the ending of Follow Me Under, Branden and Skye find themselves working through some tough issues. They need to find what they really want, what they are willing to compromise on and what they are willing to live without (among that many other aspects of the story).

The story is passionate and red-hot, and I found myself rooting (as well as yelling at times) at everyone for many different reasons. When I read a series and get attached to the characters as much as I have in this one, I find myself so involved, so engaged that I feel like I have some influence on the outcome, LOL.

There are so many great moments in this book, twists, turns, love, and steam; that it will satisfy any reader. Not only do we get the conclusion to this story, along the way we learn more about the characters, inside their emotions, decisions, and minds; making this as story/ series that sticks to the reader’s heart.

Highly recommended, not only this book but this series as well. I am not ready to say goodbye, but I am also excited to see what comes next from this amazing author! Happy reading!

Follow Me Always is a seductive, scandalous, and oh-so-passionate conclusion to the 'Follow Me' series. Helen Hardt continues Braden and Skye's story with even more twists and turns which will have fans of the series hanging onto every word.

In this final book, Braden and Skye have so much to work through. Skye wants something that he can't give her and Braden doesn't see how they can get past it. They definitely face their fair share of struggles in this book. There is a good possibility that their relationship is ending for good. So, Braden and Skye have to dig deep and open up past wounds to help them move on and understand why they each want to control certain aspects of their lives.

Helen Hardt takes us on an emotional roller coaster. Skye goes back home thinking this is the key to discovering her inner demons. There are many revelations that could easily shatter Skye. And even though she and Braden are on-again-off-again with their relationship, their love is their guiding light. I was completely enamored by this book. We finally get the answers we so desperately wanted and so much more.

I give Follow Me Always all the stars. It is complicated, sexy, and dark just like Braden and Skye's relationship. Fans of the series won't be disappointed by this conclusion. I am sad that this is the last book in the 'Follow Me trilogy' because I am so captivated by the writing, the story, and characters. It reminded me of the feeling I got when I first read the 'Fifty Shades' books. I highly recommend starting from the beginning and finishing it with this stunning conclusion.
