REVIEW: Follow Me Darkly by Helen Hardt

I think Follow Me Darkly is easily my favorite Helen Hardt book to date. It’s a blue collar billionaire romance that starts out with a bit of instalust, and then slowly builds in to a mystery that draws the reader in.
Skye Manning has the ultimate job, or one would think. Photographer for one of the world’s most famous influencers and heiress’s, Addison Ames. Skye’s relationship with Addison is kind of a contentious one. Addison is demanding, bratty, and self centered. Being a photographer, Skye is content with being in the background and creating the beautiful images that Addison shares to her followers. It helps hone her skills to hopefully fulfill her ultimate dream of becoming a photographer for a major magazine.
Braden Black is a man of few words. He knows what he wants and goes after it. A blue collar guy who built his business from the ground up, he isn’t used to being told no. And when he first sees Skye at Addison’s office, he set his sights on her.
Braden and Skye’s chemistry is instantaneous. From the boardroom to the bedroom, Braden craves control. The problem is, so does Skye. But when she’s with Braden, that control slips more and more and she finds herself at his mercy and craving things she could never admit to anyone.
I was so afraid this was going to turn in to an instalove kind of book but I am so glad my assumtions were wrong. I was kept wondering exactly what Braden Black’s secrets were. Was Addison telling the truth in her version of events? Did Braden have an even darker side than he lets on?
The first part of Braden and Skye’s story ends on one heck of a cliff hanger. I was hoping for some sort of clue, but nope, didn’t happen. Helen left me craving for more and wracking my brain trying to find and Easter eggs she might have left in the book. Needless to say, it’s going to be a long agonizing wait until the next book
