Publisher 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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hardt (Legacy) spins erotic gold out of the undefined relationship between a dominant, emotionally distant Boston billionaire and a girl-next-door Midwesterner in the first romance of her Follow Me series. Skye Manning, raised on a Kansas farm, moves to Boston hoping to become a legitimate photographer, but instead gets a job snapping staged selfies for social media influencer Addison Ames. When new money billionaire Braden Black, Addison's ex, calls Addison out for her pretensions on Instagram, the confrontation lands Braden in Addison's office where he meets and seduces Skye, who falls hard and fast for the enigmatic man. But outside of the bedroom, Braden's feelings remain in question. Smart, sassy Skye is an admirable heroine, while Braden defines tall, mysterious, and irresistible though his occasional coldness will turn off some readers. Stellar supporting characters especially Skye's best friend, Tessa add depth. A cliffhanger ending leaves many tantalizing questions unanswered, particularly the details of Braden and Addison's past relationship, which are teased throughout. Though this lack of closure will frustrate some, readers who like their romance with a dominant and sexy edge will devour this addictive series launch.

Follow me Darkly
Just wow! I’m hooked?? Bring on January 2021 for Follow me Under!
This was all-consuming, alluring, and addictive
Woah... Alright, so where do I start? Follow Me Darkly has been on my radar since it was announced that Helen Hardt was coming out with a new series. The blurb and cover lured me from the beginning and it became one of my most anticipated reads for 2020. I went in not sure what to expect. It's a bit different from this author's normal style, but in saying that, she did not disappoint. AT ALL. I think I may have found my new favorite by this author.
In Follow Me Darkly, we have Braden, the self-made billionaire. He's possessive, dominant, desirable, and sexy as hell. He has worked hard to be where he is and never forgets where he's come from but he holds secrets, making mysterious and intriguing as hell.
Skye is a country girl from Kansas, she is an assistant to social media influencer Addison Ames. Her job lets her do the thing she loves most, and that's photography. She struggles to give up control in most things, even in the bedroom.
These two come together after Braden leaves some comments on Addie's Instagram that Skye manages and that same day they find themselves out for dinner and the moment they are in the same room, the chemistry between them becomes known. The moment Braden met Skye, he knew that he needed her and he makes her a proposition that she can't refuse. The thing is... These two both crave control in the bedroom... So one of them has to give up the control, which is Skye, but will she be able to?
I won't dive in much deeper than that, but I will say that this was so much more than what I expected. I knew the author would deliver an amazing start to the series but this had so much more to it than first met my eye. It's got the dom/sub feel to it, with a nice twist of darkness... and oh how I loved the darkness! It completely consumed me and I'm in love with the mysterious Bredan, I want and need to know more about this man. This was all-consuming, alluring, and addictive and I cannot wait to see what the author has up her sleeve next for these two.
5++++++ Stars!
