Follow Me Darkly by Helen Hardt

Release Date: September 29th 2020 by Entangled: Amara

Series: Follow Me #1

Pages: 400

Genres: Romance, Contemporary, Erotica

I’ve always been a control freak. But he makes me crave submission…

Working for a hotel heiress and social media influencer may not be my dream job, but at least it allows me time to do what I really love—take photographs. Pretty good for a wholesome farm girl from Kansas trying to make it in Boston. Life may not be easy working for a diva, but at least I know what to expect.

Until blue-collar billionaire Braden Black strides into the office. He’s beyond handsome and sexy, but also domineering with a definite hard edge. I’m not sure why he’s interested in me, but within a few weeks, he’s showing me a world I never knew existed.

He’s opened up a side of me I can only face in the dark, and it’s quickly becoming an obsession. How can I give up something this addictive—even if his secrets could ultimately destroy me?

My Review:

Helen Hardt delivers an irresistible story full of steam and mystery that had me hooked from beginning to end.

In the story we get to meet Skye Manning, assistant to Addison Ames, a Boston hotel heiress and social media influencer. As an aspiring photographer, Skye takes pictures of Addison for her instagram, but that’s not what she has always wanted to do. Having moved from Kansas to the big city in hopes of making a name for herself, Skye quickly gets wrapped around Addison’s world and that includes her past. When Braden Black comes into her life all she knows is that the billionaire shares a past with Addison. But no matter how much Skye wants to know more about their past, neither Braden or Addison want to talk about it. It’s a mystery that she can’t seem to solve, but that soon gets clouded by the enigmatic billionaire as he pulls her into his world and shows her what she is truly capable of doing. Yet, the more time they spend together the more she starts to feel for Braden and she quickly learns that in order to be with him she will have to give up control, something that she is not sure she wants to give up at all.

From the eye-catching cover to the intriguing synopsis, Follow Me Darkly did not disappoint at all. Being the first book that I’ve read from the author, I found the story to be compelling and romantic. Told in Skye’s POV, we get to see her develop and fall completely in love with Braden. Yet, we also get to follow on her journey as she dwells deep into the mystery behind Brande’s past. It’s the closer that she gets that she starts to question who Braden really is. It’s their chemistry that drew me in from the start and I cannot wait to read what happens next. The ending was completely unexpected, since it does end with a cliffhanger, but it worked well in the story. All in all, the story was steamy and romantic. I would highly recommend it if love billionaire romances. :)

My Rating: 4.5/5

🌟 BOOK BLITZ 🌟 Awakened by Him by Eyta Jade {EXCERPT + GIVEAWAY!}

Awakened by Him by Eyta Jade

Release Date: August 6th 2020

Series: Zinklaus Duet #1

Genres: Adult, Erotica, Romance, Suspense

Falling into him was a dance with destiny; little did she know it would be her unravelling.

Zina at 24 and fresh out of the academic world, arrives in London for a new paralegal job. She is thrown for a loop when her chance at something new and uncomplicated is threatened from the moment she meets business magnate, Niklaus Clarke.

He wants more from her than she’s willing to give, because giving him more means undoing her past which she’s been running from. Unable to resist the undeniable attraction she feels or the allure of the unyielding billionaire who didn’t get to where he is by giving up, Zina surrenders.

What should have been a mere awakening turns into blurred lines and shattering of boundaries. Until their secrets, lies and half-truths threaten the gravity that pulls them toward each other.

Bridges will be crossed, bridges will be burnt. But, will bridges be rebuilt? 

Amazon

{EXCERPT}

“Open,” Niklaus said.

So bossy, I thought.

We were on his couch, facing each other as he attempted to feed me comfort food. A.K.A. Haagen-Dazs caramel cone.

“Why do you have to feed me?” I argued, finding solace in a possible banter to distract me from my solemn mood.

He heaved a sigh, looking at me intently without lowering the spoon of ice cream from where it was—in front of my mouth. “My sweet baby, you are sad and won’t tell me why.” His lips spread in a thin, but small sad smile. “But, this I can do for you. Let me take care of you. Let me feed you.”

Tears stung my eyes as I struggled with my emotions. Such simple words evoked powerful feelings in me. All he wanted was to do something nice for me, and yet I remained difficult. So I opened for him, letting him feed me to his satisfaction. I watched his eyes lit up every time I opened for another spoon.

The fact that he took so much pleasure in doing something so mundane was everything—the simple things. My heart was in trouble and at that moment, I didn’t care.

When he was done pleasuring me with the taste of rich caramel swirl that only Haagen-Dazs could deliver, he sprawled into the arm of the sofa.

“Come.” He said, opening his arms to welcome me. And, like a dog hungry for affection, I turned, reclining into him and laying my body on his chest.

His arms wrapped around me instantly, and I closed my eyes.

I felt safe and at home in his arms. Ashraf and his parents had taken me in when I was homeless; my brother had come into my life around when the well, awkward night with Ashraf happened, and we grew apart for a few months. He’d come in and filled a hole created by temporary emotional separation from Ashraf.

But the feeling of safety I felt in the arms of Niklaus was different. He wasn’t filling any vacant space. It was like he’d always had a place in my heart, waiting for him to step in and take his place. I’d never felt more at peace, so wanted, so cherished, and all he had to do was feed me ice cream and wrap his arms around me.

Am I falling for him? I wondered. I physically shook my head, wading off the idea, but not before he noticed.

“What?” he asked.

I couldn’t very well tell him my heart was wondering if I was falling for him, but that same heart was convinced the answer was negative.

So, I said instead, ‘tell me something about you.”

He chuckled, the slight shaking of his body as he did so warming me all over. “Am I supposed to believe you haven’t used the school of Google to do your private investigation on me?”

“Would most of what I find there tell me anything real about you?” I challenged.

“No,” he confirmed with a certain resentment.

I shrugged. “Moreover, I haven’t stalked you. I don’t do social media or track people on the internet.” I explained.

There was the exception of the night at his parents, but those were for professional reasons directed at his father, and didn’t count.

His arms tightened around me like he couldn’t get enough of me. “You, doux bebe are one of a kind.”

I smiled. It was nice to hear that someone saw me as a unique being. But, the gag was—he was truly the special one.

He’d awakened me, and he apparently had the power to make me feel safe and distract me.

“I’ll start. I’ve always wanted a dog, and I will get one soon.”

“Hmmm…I think when I was young, I did too. But, somewhere along the way, I forgot.”

I laughed. “Your turn.”

“I just told you I wanted a dog too. That was my something.”

I laughed some more at his manipulative and creative way of deflecting.

If I was terrible at revealing things about myself, he was impossible.

We were a match made in heaven. But what would that mean for us in the long term?

The fact that I was thinking of the future, despite insisting that we were just fuck buddies told me one thing—even if I was unable to admit that I might have been falling for him, what I knew for sure was that I was in trouble. My heart was in trouble.

I pushed out a breath rather dramatically, “Oh, boy. Well, I can say with compete honesty that I did not expect this kind of action and excitement this evening.”

He raised an eyebrow at me while I signed and pushed the papers back to him, “And yet you’re still here. It’s intriguing, really.”

“I know, right?” I grinned, “Next.”

“Common Safeword and Consent Policy. This is very important, Blue, especially because you’re new to this world. You’ll see things that surprise you downstairs. You may see things that disturb you or concern you. But I want you to know that our members’ safety is our priority. That’s why all members and their guests must adhere to a common safeword policy. We push limits here, Blue. We skirt the edge of our boundaries, waltz across the line, see if we can push it just a little further.”

Law came alive as he spoke, eyes sparkling with passion. He was telling me about something that outwardly seemed so crude and taboo but explained it all with such poise and conviction. This world was important to him, it belonged to him, and he belonged to it. It chilled me to see that kind of affinity. It gave me goosebumps to listen to him explain these rules.

He continued, “It is possible that someone might say no as a reflex, without really meaning it. For some, saying no is part of the fun. Consent always has to be given explicitly here. And it can still be given even if someone is screaming for you to stop. But it only works if everyone understands and follows the rules and we enforce them fiercely. No one here should ever fear being forced to do something they haven't consented to.”

I watched him in consideration, “Am I gonna need any safewords tonight, Law?”

I saw a flicker of interest brush across his eyes as I immediately realized my tone had sounded inviting. Unintentionally inviting.

I shouldn’t have said that.

Why did I say that?

“No, not unless you consent to putting yourself in that position,” he looked suddenly disappointed, “And as you are happily married and without your husband this evening, I imagine you won’t want to do that.”

“No,” the word tasted bad coming out of my mouth, “I don’t want to do that tonight.”

“Then you won’t, Blue. Not tonight.”

Not tonight?

One corner of her mouth quirked upward as she turned away from him, meandering her way further into the room. “I thought I’d stop by to say hello. Though truth be told, I also came in here because I wanted to fulfill a fantasy, and I hoped you wouldn’t mind.”

He hadn’t stopped thinking about the offer she’d made him this morning or wondering why the hell he wasn’t taking her up on it. Couldn’t stop thinking, either, about the fact she’d stood naked in front of him while she did it. And she had to go and tease him about fantasies?

He snatched up his book and attempted to scan the page. He wanted to pretend nonchalance, but his hands shook. His cock throbbed, and he couldn’t force his gaze to focus on the words. He shouldn’t ask the question seated on the tip of his tongue, but damn it, he had to know. “Fantasy?”

“Mm-hmm.” She started up the stairs, making her way to the library’s second floor, a sexy swing in her hips. When she reached the top, she turned, settling her hands along the railing, and peered down at him. “You gave me an idea last week.”

It took all of two seconds to understand what she wanted. He swallowed a miserable groan. Was it possible to die from sexual frustration? From being so hard it hurt?

He sighed. He’d have to face this, or she’d keep teasing him. “Jenna…”

Whatever bravado she’d marched in there with seemed to desert her, for she dropped her gaze, her fingers toying with the edge of the railing. “It’s something I’ve never had the courage to try, because I’ve never felt comfortable enough with someone to do it. It doesn’t require your participation. Only your presence.”

“You want me to watch.”

She looked up, her fingers tightening around the railing. “Yes.”

He ought to turn her down, get up and find another room to read in, but he didn’t have the heart to say the words. She’d essentially told him that despite what he’d done to her last weekend, she felt comfortable with him. And hell. He understood only too well the desire to play out a fantasy like hers, the ones that made you this side of uncomfortable. Who was he to tell her no?

AUTHOR BIO:

JM Stewart writes heartfelt contemporary romance. Whether the heat level is sizzling or sweet, her stories are always deeply emotional. Her heroes are strong but sensitive (no alpha jerks here!), and her heroines are more Cinderella than Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Young, beautiful, and college educated, Lena hides startling secrets. Secrets that set her apart from everyone else and make it almost impossible for her to find true love.

Slightly older than Lena, Trevor’s a handsome and dominant man. The kind with a successful career, a residence of his own, and a secure future. But he’s keeping startling secrets as well.

On their very first date, they’ll bare their souls to each other, indulge in sizzling hot sex, and make an unbreakable emotional connection.

But great sex alone can’t lead two lovers to their very own happily ever after. Can it?

{EXCERPT}

Trevor stood, tossed some bills on the table, and extended a hand. “Let’s get out of here. I want to show you something.”

Lena’s hand fit perfectly inside his, and she let him lead the way through the tables to the door. Once outside under the white glow of the streetlamps, the crisp October air nipped at the delicate skin of her shoulders and bare legs in the clinging, black mini-dress. Her high heels clicked as they walked toward a black sedan parked along the street.

Cars steadily passed and numerous people traversed the sidewalk, but Lena paid them no mind as she concentrated on the sexual tension building inside her.

What he wanted to show her, she couldn’t begin to imagine, but she could hardly wait to see it.

He stopped in front of the sedan. “Hike up your dress, pull your panties down, and place your palms on the hood. I want to examine your ass to get you all hot and bothered before I take you to a hotel to give you a proper fucking.”

“W-What?” A thrill of excitement electrified Lena’s imagination. A little uncertainty, too. They were in public. In plain sight. Nowhere to hide. Just the way she’d always fantasized. Only, she’d never known any love interest that so easily accepted her fetish. Was he being serious? Really serious?

“You heard me.” A curious smile surfaced on his handsome face. “Or is this not the type of exhibitionism you crave so desperately that you’d admit it on a first date?”

As the seconds ticked by while the naughtier portions of her imagination fully engaged, prickles of pleasure assaulted her engorging clitoris and her pussy moistened. Resistance was futile. She always did what her cunt wanted. Always.

“I’m not wearing any panties,” she stated boldly, sliding the dress up over her bubble butt and placing palms on the hood as ordered. She held her chin up, determined to not falter when faced with getting exactly what she’d always pined for. Besides, he obviously needed this. She did too.

“Hey, beautiful. What can I get you?” The barman winks his vivid blue eyes in my direction as he wipes at the bar with a cloth.

“Can I get a bottle of your finest prosecco, please?” My smile matches his and he turns to the fridge. The prosecco is on the bottom shelf and I get a fantastic view of his ass when he bends down to get it. I’m sure he could have bent his knees, but he deliberately shows me his tight gluts.

When he stands he shows me the bottle. “Does this suit your taste?” He licks his dry lips and I can’t take my eyes of them.

Okay he is really doing it for me and he seems to be game. “A lot of things here suit my taste tonight.” The tip of my tongue comes out and licks my lips. I pull my lower lip between my teeth and look down at the bar for a couple of seconds before flicking my eyes over him again.

“Yeah? Mine too. Do you want to get a drink after I finish work tonight?” His stare is so intense a warm wetness spreads between my legs. The heavy heat, just from his look alone, paints a blush on my face and I want to fan myself.

“No. But if you’re interested in a no strings fuck, then I’m your woman.” I throw the money on the bar and take the bottle, turning away before he can answer, and walking back to the girls. I make sure I put an extra swing into my hips the whole way back to our table.

“Girl, what did you just say to the barman, he can’t stop watching your ass and he has a dirty smile on his face.” Fifi reaches up to take the bottle out of my hand, while I sit back down.

“He invited me for a drink after work.”

“Good girl. Did you swap numbers?” Lila asks.

“Not yet, but I guarantee you he will be over here in five… four… three…” The girls are all looking behind me and I see their smirks. I know he’s making his way over to me as we speak. “Two… One….” I turn in my seat and he’s stood just behind me.

“Hey, I didn’t get your name.” He sits on the stool next to mine. “I’m Dan.”

“Well, Dan, I’m Holly. Did you think about my proposition?” I lower my gaze to make him think he has the upper hand, when he doesn’t. Not really.

DANNY

The shape of our love.

I’m looking at Alec when these words echo in my head. He’s looking back at me like… like he needs something. He’s always had that look. I’ve always felt that need. “Back in the gym that first day we met,” I say.

“Yeah?”

“You said you were there for me.”

“I was.”

“Why?” I say. “What the fuck did you ever need from me?”

His eyes narrow a little. “Let’s start with what I didn’t need, yeah?”

“Whatever.”

“I didn’t need your help,” he says. “Not the way you thought. I certainly didn’t need anyone’s help stealing diamonds. Hell, I didn’t need to steal diamonds at all. That’s not why I wanted you around. And I definitely didn’t need a fourteen-year-old girl hanging about. No offense,” he says, eyes meeting Christine’s briefly before returning to me.

“Then what the fuck was all that about? Just the thrill? The danger? What?”

“A bit of that, I guess. But why can’t it just be about you, man? Why do you find that so hard to believe?”

“So you wanted to fuck me?”

“Everyone wants to fuck you, Danny.”

Christine laughs.

“You’re bleeding hot, bru. You’ve got everything going for you.”

“Shit,” I say.

“You do. More than I ever had. Not money. Obviously. I’m talking about… this… self-possession. Even before I knew you, I saw it. You walked around with a goddamn invisible sign on your chest that said, Take it or leave it. I wanted that.”

“So you wanted me?”

He shrugs. “What can I tell you? It’s not fokken rocket science. It’s just… attraction. Which is more of an earth science.” He winks.

And in the moment I take to process this, his hand slides up to my neck. His fingers wrap around and grip. Just enough to make me lean forward into his space.

I know what’s coming. And it’s not our first, so my heart shouldn’t be beating so fast.

But it is.

Because when his mouth finds mine I do something different.

I don’t give in, I don’t give up, I don’t resist, and I don’t complain.

I just… kiss him back.

The way he wants me to. The way I’d kiss Christine if it was her, not him.

Open mouth. Pliant lips. Probing tongue.

Long, deep breaths in those fractional seconds when we change position. Inhaling, and exhaling. Christine’s body between us. Her arms around us, hands wandering, fingertips encouraging.

We’ve been here before. Hell, the past two days we’ve gotten past this point a few times.

But it feels different.

It feels intentional. This kiss is no accident. Not a heat-of-the-moment reaction.

It’s deliberate, and passionate, and real.

The brush tickled as it danced over her clitty, before moving back until it swirled around the entrance to her bottom. Having never seen that part of her, she wondered whether there was any hair there to remove, but he seemed intent on doing this, so she didn’t ask any questions.

Anyway, a moment later, the blade scraped against her outer labia and she was filled with surprising sensations. She sighed in amazement and made herself be still. She didn’t want him to have any accidents. Not down there.

Gradually, he worked his way back, and she knew she probably made his task more difficult because she felt her slick liquid escaping from her opening. When he was finished, he fetched her flannel and dipped it into the bathwater, and pressed it against her entire nether regions with his big hand. The warmth made her moan quietly.

“Tell me, Eve, have you been touching yourself in the night?” She hesitated for a moment. How did he know?

“Yes, sir,” she replied.

He removed the flannel and took her clit between his thumb and forefinger, filling her with urgent tingles of light. She moaned once more.

“Here? Is this where you have been touching yourself?” he asked.

“Yesss... yes, sir,” she replied through the haze of warmth.

He was silent for a moment, but then he squeezed her delicate flesh harder, so the pressured sparks were more immediate as her body twitched, but his grasp grew painful, and she gasped in fear as he pressed the razor blade against her unprotected clit. It was throbbing so hard that she was sure it would cut itself on the sharp metal even if she were still.

“In the asylums, if they find women touching themselves, do you know what they do, Eve?” His voice was hypnotic as the fear paralysed her.

“No, sir,” she breathed, too afraid to speak any more loudly. Any slight move and he would cut off her clitty.

“They remove the part of a woman that causes her to feel desire. The part she touches. The part I have a razorblade to, right now. One little cut, and I can rid you of ever being able to find release again. I am told the pain is so immense that most women pass out from screaming.”

Eve held her breath and hoped he wasn’t going to do it. The blade lingered, and she wondered if she should say something, beg for mercy, but he didn’t seem to like it when she did that. Instead, she waited.

She was his from the moment he found her. She trusted him implicitly, now. If he wanted to do this to her, that was his choice to make. He had taken her in from certain death. Her life belonged to him, and so did her pleasure... and that was when she realized that by touching herself, she was stealing her pleasure from him.

“Do you understand, Eve?” he prompted. 

“Yes, sir. I’ll never touch myself again without your permission. Please, I’m so sorry, sir.” Her voice was a whisper. Would he decide to teach her a lesson, this time, or let her off with a warning?
