My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Absolutely best series/box set ever! The series includes 6 books, starting with Lost Bastard, then follows Cold Bastard, Wild Bastard, True Bastard, Dark Bastard, and King Bastard. I highly recommend this box set. What is better than getting all of the books in one set? The books are romantic, steamy, and action-packed drama. Each character went through their own trials, but the family always sticks together to fight their evil father.

Book 1
This book was a serious page turner, and constant mystery of “what will happen next?”. The book is based off the mob/mafia underworld and the twists and turns are bountiful. The character building is amazing and it’s very easy to get attached to each character. Literally no one can be trusted. Deva is on the run from her father because she was sold off to the underworld. She has now started a new life as a physical therapist, that is until a favor is needed to be collected upon by the woman who rescued her. Beatrice runs a “company” called Purgatory and she refers to her agents as “Dark Sparrows”. She has called upon them to help out a friend, Lazarus King, to help find and protect his “bastard” brothers his evil father has “sired”. Deva is definitely an amazing badass woman, but everyone has that something to make them tick. First of the brothers to be found is Alexksei, who ends up being Deva’s weakness. A brilliant first book to an amazing series.

Book 2
The second book was filled with steamy romance and action. Zoe is such a strong and independent woman; she is also an excellent translator. She comes to work for a man named Archer as a “Dark Sparrow” and the intensity is insane between them. The “evil father” Finch is more active in the background in book 2 than he was in book 1. This book is a little on the darker side of romance. Has lots of unexpected events.

Book 3
This book is all about second chances with Kai and Izzy. There are an immense number of secrets between the two of them, which slowly drives them apart. Again, the book had a good mix of romance, action, drama and danger. Kai is a strong alpha and Izzy is his weakness, and after bringing him to his knees, he vows to never let anyone, or anything affect him that way again. Izzy is the owner of a PR firm. She is approached by Jamison Finch (the evil father) to help him, but she does not know if it is a good idea to work with him or not.

Book 4
“True Bastard” is between Liam and Catriona. Liam is headstrong and determined to be absolutely nothing like his father. He will do anything for Catriona even though his mind pulls him to do something different. Catriona has a heart of gold, and brings happiness to everyone she meets, she is also a Nun. In this book a bigger picture is given on the brothers and the past and present father issues.

Book 5
This book will invoke insane feelings of anger towards Finch. Ellie is a 911 operator, and on the brink of an emotional and mental crisis. Sam’s past is a large focus in this book. The accidental call that Sam makes to Ellie may actually be what saves them both from utter turmoil or will be the cause of their destruction. Dark Sparrows are not used in this book, and you do not hear from Gabrielle at all.

Book 6
Excellent ending to the series. Finally, you get more of a glimpse of Lazarus and what may or may not be his happy ending. Sasha is an independent woman, but Lazarus seems to think she needs constant protection. The ending is a little anti-climactic BUT wraps up the story in a nice bow. This is a must read.
