Follow Me Darkly

Follow Me Darkly


by Helen Hardt

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5



It was so easy to follow Skye and Braden into their romance as it darkened!


Skye is mesmerized by the self-made billionaire whom she meets at her office where she assist an heiress, a former paramour of his. She’s tries to resist him, but he is persistent and gets what he wants and how!



This book gets hot fast! “I want to bed you tonight,” is what our sexy Braden Black tells Skye 15 pages in!!! And you better bet that this only heat up from there as they fight for control and their bedroom antics increase in intensity.



Skye and Braden were an interesting pairing. He is a big-city billionaire, she is a country girl who work as a personal assistant. They both crave/ need control in their lives. It is easy to see that Braden will win her submission with his wealth, power and experience, but I wonder in the end, who will control who? Will Skye be able to rise above? I am hopeful for her.  Their whirlwind “romance” quickly makes huge changes to her life and Addie decides to go along with the turn of events… will it make her stronger? Or more dependant on Braden? 



Braden seems to be trying to rest all her control/ autonomy from her. Does he really need her full submission? Or will an actual partnership be forged? He is almost an anti-hero- he is so cold and demanding, yet generous and kind. He is an enigma that draws you in with his appeal, but scares you off with his power and control…



I was hooked by Helen Hardt’s easy writing style that had me turning the pages and saying “one more chapter…” until the book was over! My only complaint (which, I should should have knew better) was that this is a cliffhanger and we are left waiting for Follow Me Under (Jan 2021) to see what Skye and Braden do next! I have so many questions for these two and I am anxious to see how this developed- I am already anticipating the next instalment!




Follow Me Darkly by Helen Hardt is scheduled to release September 29th, 2020.

The Art of Taxidermy

by    Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms!  This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
