Follow Me Under

Follow Me Under

The Follow Me series, Book 2

by Helen Hardt

⭐⭐⭐ /5


The second book of the series literally picks up right where we leave Skye and Braden were left in Follow Me Darkly, with Skye questioning what could Braden have done that is so terrible as to have damaged his ex. 


The cryptic warnings about Braden get under Skye’s skin and start putting her relationship and the trust between her and Braden in jeopardy…


As Skye attempts to prove her trust from Braden she follows him further into his BDSM lifestyle until she takes it even too far for Braden!


As all of this is playing out, Skye is constantly fighting an inner battle with herself as to who she is now, is she a fraud, how can she juggle her friends and her relationship? This inner battle comes to ahead when she tries to lose herself and her control to Braden… but is her full control too much or not what he actually wants???


This books reads like a continuation of book one, where Hardt delves deeper into Skye’s insecurities and inner struggles with the changes in her life, as well as the deeper infiltration of Braden’s BDSM lifestyle.


I found that this books focus on control grated on me, making me dislike both characters at times. I’m not sure how these two can come to a happily ever after where both of them are satisfied. Braden wants complete control of all aspects of his life, where even a surprise nice gesture from his girlfriends puts him off centre, I can’t see him easing up enough to give Skye the share of control she needs.


On the other hand, Skye is a mess. She has lost herself and perspective in her relationship. Her new life and career has come to be because of her relationship with billionaire Braden Black, but she resents his control outside of the bedroom and can’t get over that the opportunities she has now are due to his influence. She is distancing herself and the relationship from her friends and her family… is she is not careful, she will lose everything.


While I was entranced by Helen Hardt’s easy writing style that had me that had me not able to put the book down, I was disappointed that I didn’t feel like much was resolved in this book. I started this book fully knowing that it would not resolve itself, but the abrupt ending and the lack of any positive resolutions left me feeling empty. I will be on board for the third instalment, Follow Me Always, since I have invested so much already in Skye and Braden’s relationship. I need closure! 



Follow Me Under by Helen Hardt is scheduled to release January 26th, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from Entangled Publishing and NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
