Cold Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Cold Bastard is such a whirlwind!! I am a sucker for the classic cold, stern, control-freak male lead whose entire routine-only life gets totally disrupted by the leading lady! Curves & glasses tempt him too far. And he doesn’t even know how much she will corrupt! You HAVE to read this one!

A Dark Sparrow Box Set (Books 1-6) by India Kells
Lost Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #1)
This is the first book in A Dark Sparrow Series. This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Kells has really done a great job writing this.
Deva, a Dark Sparrow, goes to help Lazarus. He wants to watch his brothers and make sure he’s kept out of harm’s way. Little does Deva know that the brother is going to capture her heart. The quote I chose for Deva is: “I agree. And I couldn’t stop thinking about what Finch and my father had said. All those speeches about patience, about preparing for war. What if he was speaking about a war from within? What if Finch had prepared things way in advance, and placed his pawns in strategic places.”
Aleksei, Lazarus’s half brother, trains at the gym only to find his Angel there. He keeps her at arms length, but when he’s injured she’s the one to help him. Things get tough and he pushes her away. The quote I chose for Aleksei is: “You put yourself in danger! I told you to stay at the hotel under Lance and Kai’s protection, but you didn’t listen. You don’t listen! And now that I know you are safe, still breathing , still alive and whole…”
Cold Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #2)
This is the second book of A Dark Sparrow Novels. As the second book I’ve read by the author I can say I’ve enjoyed it. Kells knows how to capture a reader’s attention.
Zoe knows her languages and is requested by Beatrice for a favor. Keep an eye on one of Lazarus’s half brothers. Not sure what she’s getting herself into she goes. She finds herself going back to the past. The quote I chose for Zoe is: “You had love in your life, and even if you struggled and battled through some tough times, you had a choice to do something with it. Grabbing that power. I will never judge you for the decisions you made, that path on the dark side. I would have done the same thing. Hell, I’m doing it right now. At least love brought you back. You always have a choice, Archer. Never forget that.”
Archer Blackwood, moves from London to Chicago, a cold man needs someone who can translate languages for him. What he doesn’t know is his half brother is really looking out for him. Zoe has thawed the cold man a little. The quote I chose for Archer is: “Don’t put yourself in danger, do you hear me? Steer clear of Finch. You’re mine.”
Wild Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #3)
The third book in A Dark Sparrow Novels. Kells has really upped her game from the first two books. Lazarus is at it again with helping one of the many half brothers and Kells captures it perfectly.
Isabel is the next Dark Sparrow to be called upon the favor. What she doesn’t realize when she agrees to the meeting is she’ll be running right into the past’s arms. Jones isn’t who she expected to see and it gets better. The quote I chose for Isabel is: “No pressure. Because all I want is you.”
Kai, Delta Force, goes to another meeting in hopes to bring down his father, Finch. What he’s not expecting is for the girl who broke his heart and got away is the one that’s helping. Things don’t go as planned and it scares him. The quote I chose for Kai is: “Are you still set on returning to work tomorrow?”
True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4) by India Kells
Kells knows how to get attention with everything she writes. So far I’ve read all The Dark Sparrow Novels and I can’t wait for more. These characters will never be forgotten.
Liam, a cop and the fourth brother to Lazarus, is upset that they didn’t bring down their father. Gabrielle had to leave as an emergency came up, but she brought a gift. Someone to cut Finch’s money. The quote I chose for Liam is: “I never played you, in any way, Catriona. I’ve never liked deception. When I kissed you, it was because I couldn’t help myself. If Deva hadn’t barged in, things would’ve gone further than a kiss. I only stopped because I think you’re making a mistake.”
Catriona, very close to becoming a nun, is brought to Chicago to help a family out. With the eldest brother being in a coma she does what she can. When she uncovers something she runs, but she saves someone else. The quote I chose for Catriona is: “We’re on this earth to make mistakes. Do you think that’s the first time I’ve ever thought about being with a man, sleeping with one? When you choose a path, you have to relinquish several more. No one goes into a religious life without considering that, otherwise, the weight of the commitment would break you in two. I haven’t slept with anyone because each time I was convinced it was the wrong decision, until you.”
Dark Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel # 5 by India Kells
This is another great read by Kells. Dark Bastard was an amazing read and I can’t wait for the next one. It’s part of A Dark Sparrow Series, but can be read as a standalone.
Ellie is trying to live one day at a time, but being a 911 dispatcher is hard. Especially when she thinks she can save someone’s life. The quote I chose for Ellie is: “And you know nothing about me, Sam. And yet, you stopped that final jump because of me. We’re strangers who have lost their way yet found each other. I see honor in you, a protector of your brothers. You may have reached the end of your rope that night, but I believe your strength is still greater than your pain. I don’t care that I don’t know everything about you. I think that for the moment, staying alive is the only solution we have.”
Sam is feeling lost and ready to give up on life. He decides to call his brother only to get a wrong number. When he does hear the person’s voice it changes everything for him. The quote I chose for Sam is: “I couldn’t forget the sadness in your voice when you hung up on me. It’s the only reason I persisted. I want nothing from you, just the reassurance that you’re all right.”
King Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel #6 by India Kells
This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. The Dark Sparrow Novels get better each one I read. King Bastard is by the far the best and we get to learn more about the head guy.
Lazarus is known for protecting his brothers from their father. So far each of them have found their happily ever after. Sasha came into his life when it was at his lowest and she just might be the best thing that has happened to him. The quote I chose for Lazarus is: “I didn’t know you’d worked with her so many times during your missions.”
Sasha comes back to the states after being away for a while. She gets a call from Lazarus’ mother and now has a place to stay. Can she get through to Lazarus that they can be more than friends? The quote I chose for Sasha is: “Sorry. I don’t come home a lot, and when I do, my brain takes time to adjust. I compare the life here and back there, seeing the inequalities, and it blows my mind.”
This was one amazing box set. Dark romantic suspense lovers these are your books!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Stars
Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series contains the entire collection of books in the Dark Sparrow Series by India Kells. I keep saying it, but I have loved everything India Kells has written, and these books are no exception. She is one of my favourite authors and I one-click anything she releases, no questions asked. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a complete series in one exciting boxset. They definitely provide a riveting read, from beginning to end- as expected Ms. Kells has woven some really gripping, well thought out, and completely engrossing stories. Each book focuses on one of the bastard ‘brothers’ and the woman who steals his heart. But the brothers also have recurring roles in the overall series too. Each book adds to the series, building on what came previously, painting a bigger picture in the process, adding layers and facets to the overall storyline.
My review for each individual book can be found on each title, separately, below is a general overview of this thrilling boxset.
The Box Set contains:
–Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book One)
This is Aleksei and Diva’s story. If you are a MMA/ Russian Mafia romantic suspense lover, then this is one book you won’t want to miss.
–Cold Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 2)
We follow Archer and Zoe through all the intriguing developments in this fantastic second chance romance. Even though I have adored all the books and characters in this series- this one dug itself a little deeper into my heart and is definitely one of my favourites.
–Wild Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 3)
I loved Isabelle and Kai’s story, and I am sure you will too. There is danger, suspense and second chances that will have you hooked right till the end.
–True Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 4)
This is the story of Liam Harker and Sister Catriona Walsh. The sinner and the nun. Yes, a nun!!! And their story was every bit as intriguing as you might imagine! I loved that this book also helps to build a bigger picture of the brothers and their on-going father issues.
–Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 5)
Sam and Ellie’s story- OMG did I feel for those two. They have been through so much and I was so happy they found each other- but that’s not to say there weren’t a few anxious moments through the story. I could feel their sadness and the weight of their ‘burdens’. Sam was ready to end it all- but a misdialled number connects him with Ellie- and so the adventure began.
–King Bastard (Dark Sparrow Book 6)
This was such a bittersweet read for me. Having read all the previous instalments, I truly connected with this band of brothers and looked forward to following each one as they got their own book. So, knowing this was the last book in the series was sad- I was sooo not ready to say goodbye…. But at the same time, I desperately wanted to know how things would finally play out, but more importantly, getting a front row seat to the ‘Oz’ show- and what a fantastic show it was!! Ms. Kells definitely had me completely engrossed in the story- I devoured the book in a couple of hours, just so I could find out what happens.
These books are so well written with lots of complexities, depth, and texture- which resulted in exciting and incredibly compelling stories. There was a lot of funny quips and banter too, which help to lighten and balance all the action, emotion, and highly charged moments that occur throughout the series.
I love the way Ms. Kells develops her characters, they are all fantastic, and entirely interesting (even the baddies)- pulling me further and further into the story, and always leaving me with a desperate need to know what’s going to happen next.
Ms. Kells creates quite brilliant, intricate, and suspenseful storylines which included lots of action, danger, deadly games of cat and mouse, perilous situations, evil masterminds, lots of secrets, difficult choices, shocking revelations, electrifying chemistry, plenty of sizzle… and so much more!
I really recommend this Box Set, as I am sure you will love it just as much as I have.
I can’t wait for Ms. Kells next release, whatever that may be!
Happy Reading!
Thank you, India Kells!

Cold Bastard is the 2nd book in the Dark Sparrow series. India Kells has created a dark dangerous world of bastards. They are all so different yet all similar. Archer Blackwood doesn’t know about his father or brothers, but he’s about to. Zoe has a debt to repay, but Archer may be more than she bargained for. I love Zoe. It is not often the heroine is a curvy girl with fire inside.

Okay. Finished this book early this morning. Like the second I woke up I HAD to finish. I really enjoyed the characters from her last book and i LOVED Zoe and Archer even more. Once more the storyline was captivating- there was only a few times I had to take a break from the book. (Definitely made me emotional- that’s as much a spoiler as I’m giving!) This book was even sexier and darker than the last one. Anyone not reading this series is missing out. On to the next! 💖

Archer and Zoe are very much a one of a kind couple! The chemistry and the passion will bring out the heat fast! Zoe is an intelligent, independent, and sexy heroine who is as fierce as her red hair! She is sent undercover as a translator to help Archer Blackwood, and uncover any possible enemies or threats lurking. Archer himself is a man who is intensely cold and ruthless with enough money to put anyone to shame. These 2 together navigate a path leading to danger, deception, and many hidden secrets that neither expect.
This book was well written and was packed with suspense, adventure, steamy romance, and playful witty banter. Its #2 in a series, and is one that doesn’t disappoint.

This is the second book in the Dark Sparrow series, but the first I have read by this author. India Kells spins an amazing story that draws you in from the beginning. This is the story of Zoe and Archer. Zoe has an amazing ability with languages and can pick them up without formal study. Archer is a businessman who is selling part of his business and needs assistance with some language barriers to make sure he is getting the best deal for him.
What Archer doesn’t know is that Zoe is put in his path to help save him from a possible disastrous ending. Archer is very cold, and Zoe is a not part of his plan, but can they find love together with the danger that surrounds him?
I love how Zoe is such a strong, independent, smart woman. She doesn’t run from danger. She wants to be an equal not to be saved. I am looking forward to the next installment!!

With Fletcher as a father- who needs enemies? Cold Bastard is an original tale woven in intrigue, peppered with complex characters, and sprinkled in mystery and suspense.
This is the first book I’ve read from India, and I was not disappointed with her ability to capture and retain my interest. Zoe represents a resilient heroine who is sexy, smart, and sassy. Archer, the tycoon, suffering from past demons, has an icebox for a heart. When their worlds collide, their chemistry is instant and explosive. Archer helps Zoe get over her insecurities concerning her body and Zoe obliterates the ice in Archer’s heart.
I had fun reading this novel- if you require a much-needed escape from reality- grab a copy of Cold Bastard- I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I started this series this week and I have sucked in the books as I would air. This is the second book of the Dark Sparrows series. Archer and Zoe’s story had me on the edge of my seat needing to find out what was happening next. Zoe is my kind of girl. I love it when the heroine doesn’t need a man to save her and Asher is a sexy alpha male. I seriously enjoyed the book. Now onto the next book.

This was an amazing book. The characters had me feeling all kinds of things. I even cried. So many twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat. The intensity is palpable between Zoe and Archer. Zoe comes to work for Archer as a dark sparrow to keep an eye on him. Danger is close as he tries to close a deal to sell his Oil and gas refineries. Finch is always in the background in this novel as well. Pulling strings and trying to bring down a bastard son of his. If you loved book one you will fall in love with this book as well. Be prepared to not want to put this book down though. I pulled a very late night. Onto book 3 as I can not get enough of this fabulous author and series.

This is a great read! I loved that Zoe is nerdy and snarky. Her wit is fabulously executed. The way she doesn’t back down from Archer creates spectacular tension between them. I loved the reappearance of the two neighbor characters. The odd pairing adds a little comic relief when they bicker with each other. The complexity of Archer’s character is excellent. The fight scene in the club shows his demons a bit. Cold Bastard is an excellent reading adventure. It’ll keep you turning the pages.

This is an intense story. I love how strong of a character Deva is. She hits a great balance of fierce and feminine. I enjoyed the way the layers of backstory were dripped throughout. The timing of it added depth and emotion. There is an emotional moment in chapter thirty-seven. Not going to lie, I teared up. Lost Bastard is a stellar read. You won’t be able to put it down.

Wild Bastard – Isabel & Kai
Wild Bastard is a great second chance romance with a kick. Isabel is a strong, smart, self-made woman. I loved her character. Getting to know Kai was interesting, but I will say that of the brothers so far, I connected with Kai’s backstory the least – which is odd because I usually connect to military characters pretty strongly. It might be because we didn’t really get to see how his past affects him to the extent that we see it with Archer and Aleksei. It’s mentioned a couple of times, but we don’t see the intense emotional toll so it feels superficial.
One thing I loved about the story is that Isabel chose to hang onto a piece of her past and used it strategically. Her relationship with her mother regarding that piece is awesome.
Overall, this is an amazing, intense story that will grab a hold of you and won’t let go.

A Dark Sparrow Box Set by India Kells
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Such a great set of books. The story in each book is filled with steamy romance, drama and action making for an excellent read, and this is only the first 3 of the six brothers!
In these books Lazarus King recruits Beatrice, his friend and the woman in charge of sending people out on dangerous rescue missions. Lazarus’ mission? To save all his bastard brothers from their father, Jamieson Finch.
The first books is about Aleksei and Deva.
Deva is such a strong woman. The way she pick up the pieces of her life after getting out of her father’s grip is admirable. When she chooses to help with wounded soldier’s rehab because of her brother, my heart melted, she is an amazing woman. When she meets Aleksei, it is no walk in the park. He pisses her off with almost everything he says but she still can’t deny the attraction they have.
The second book is about Zoe and Archer.
I just love Zoe. She is such a strong, independent, beautiful woman yet she is fragile and slightly self conscious. I am super impressed with her skills as a translator. The chemistry between her and her new boss Archer is off the charts. My heart breaks for Zoe, as sometimes she feels like she is not good enough for a man like him and then other times I want to scream at them both to just communicate better! The drama that unfolds with Archer’s new business buy out and Zoe’s brother is super exciting and along with all the action, fighting and plotting, really gave the book that extra edge. The secondary characters are very lovable and just as interesting to get to know. I would highly recommend this book and I personally can not wait to read Kai and Izzy’s story.
The third book is Izzy and Kai.
Kai’s father is a douche and Kai will stop at nothing to bring his father’s company down while also dealing with his feelings for Izzy. Izzy was brought in to help bring Kai’s father’s business down but at the same time her past secrets are revealed. Izzy is a strong woman, and her personality had me loving her from the very beginning.
These books can all be read as stand alones but they are MUCH better read in order, because they are all as equally amazing as the next one.

In this book you will find suspense, a little twist and a whole lot of forbidden love. They can be a standalone but best to read the series from the beginning.
Zoe Somersby has taken her job to the limit. Her specialty is translating many languages, under cover. But she does not let on so, she can hear what is needed. To keep her boss safe. Be his ears during his business dealings. Learning everything could come to a halt. After all she did sign a contract stating she could not get involved with the boss personally!
Archer Blackwood is the CEO of his own company, extremely good looking but, he is cold and ruthless. Loaded with money Archer is in control of everything. He has hired Zoe, the one and only woman that has gotten under his skin. He has no time for falling in love?
India Kells is an exciting new author for me. She sucked right into her book.This story was filled with all kinds of angst and twists. Her characters will make you fall in love with them, well some of them anyway. Others will just keep you wondering when they will get to meet Karma. Now that she has a boxed set I can read them again all together. A must if you love re reading the series as I do. So feel free to get started with this series. I will be out here waiting for her next series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A Dark Sparrow Box Set includes the first three books in India Kells’ Dark Sparrow series! I have read the whole series and I love the present we have been given – getting three in one! If you want to get a start on a binge reading of a great series then this set is for you! (I promise you will not finish with just these three, you want to reach for the next one in the series as well and then we will be in the same boat … waiting!)
Dark Sparrows gives us the stories of six men fathered by the same bastard evil man! In the set we meet three of the brothers … they are as different AND as same as they can be! From orphaned and alone to rich and controlled and then a seemingly beach bum with a deadly skill set! Each of the men come with a woman that has her own secrets and pain … I have really hard time to tell you who is my favourite, it changes with each book (meaning with each brother I change my favourite) so who knows what will happen when the next brother enters (well, he already has so I know I will change my favourite order)!
The Box Set includes the story of the underground fighter Aleksei and MC princess Deva (Lost Bastard, Book #1), of the ruthless business man Archer and professional translator/code breaker Zoe (Cold Bastard, Book #2), and of former Delta Force/beach bum Kai and Isabel, a woman hiding way more you can even imagine (Wild Bastard).
You will get drunk on suspense and adventure and romance and will feel such a book hangover when you get to the end!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved the stories in this set. The books are based on brothers who all share a father that doesnt want to know them.
Each brother grew up on his own with their own story of hurt and betrayal making them the men they are today.
Its the love of a good woman and the desire to stop their father from harming the ones they love that brings the brothers together.
Each book can be read as a standalone and are full of romance and adventure

A Dark Sparrow Box Set is the first three books in the Dark Sparrow Series by India Kells. This set contains Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard and Wild Bastard. All three stories are a wonderful reads and can be read as standalones.
Lost Bastard features Aleksie and Deva. This book is full of action, mystery, danger and romance. This book had me hooked from the first page and I couldn’t put it down. The characters development is wonderful and the situations are intense.
Cold Bastard is the second book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I love a strong willed, kickass female lead and you will get that in this book. This story had me hooked from the very first page, and I read it in one sitting. It is full of action, suspense, humor and romance. The incredible writing skills and detailed characters made this a great read.
Wild Bastard is the third book in the Dark Sparrows Series by India Kells. This book hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down till the last. This is Isabel and Kai’s story. They have so much chemistry, but also a bunch of baggage from their past. My emotions were taking big swings during this book, and I loved the action. I would highly recommend this book, series and author. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Ms.Kells has in store for us next.

A Dark Sparrow Box Set – Books 1-3 (Dark Sparrow Series) by India Kells consists of the first three books and this series.
You have six men, all fathered by the same man who’s lives could be more different except for their one common bond, Daddy who is anything but father of the year material.
Of the three brothers featured in this box set I think I liked Kai the best but they are all so different I’m not sure if he was really my favorite if I picked him because he is freshest in my mind.
There is no lack in adventure, suspense and romance in all of the books. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

This is the Box set of the Dark Sparrow books 1-3 written by India Kells. The characters are well written and strong. The story line is unique and different that’s why I fell in love with this series. The twist and turns in these books are awesome…
Book, one has

Prepared for the worst, she’s shocked to uncover a kindred spirit, a wounded soul like hers. Chaos strikes and the two are thrown together on an impromptu mission to stop a city-wide massacre.
Book Two has

She knows how power and money can corrupt a man. For those reasons she became a Dark Sparrow. So, she finds this mission amusing at the beginning. That was until the menace turns darker and her attraction to Archer becomes overwhelming.
Book three has
Isabel Osborne learned early that when life gives you lemons, grab the salt and find some tequila. Before her life took an unexpected path, she found her prince charming in the form of a laughing surfer. The tragedy was that she couldn’t keep him, and even worse, had to break his heart.
Kai Jones, former Delta Force, and together with his bastard brothers, has a single objective bring down their father at all cost before other lives are on the line. But when he comes face to face with a siren from his past, his mighty control is shattered and replaced by hatred and bitterness. How can he rein in his resentment toward the woman who betrayed him and focus on the mission?
I highly recommend this box set…

This is an awesome series! India Kells writes stories that draw in the reader and have you laughing and wanting to smack someone upside the head at the same time. These three books are filled with intrigue, strong alpha male characters and strong, sassy, intelligent females. The pages fly by as you the stories suck you into their world. The characters will make you love them and want to know them You will enjoy meeting these three brothers as well as their feisty women. The main storyline does run through all the books but in each book you meet another brother and it can be read as a stand alone.
I look forward to reading and finding the next three siblings and how they will join Kai, Alexsei, and Archer.

The Dark Sparrow Box Set contains Three full length novels in the Dark Sparrow Series By India Kells. These three books are Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard and Wild Bastard. This author is one that I have come to enjoy rather quickly, and I just keep devouring more and more of her books. The Dark Sparrow series so far is centered around 6 brothers and Each book in This Box Set is about one of those brothers( Alexsei, Archer, and Kai) and the women they love. The brothers have an evil father and they must band together to bring the evil bastard down. These books took me on a roller coaster of emotions that I didn’t wanna get off of and I enjoyed every second of it. I am looking forward to hopefully reading a story about the remaining brothers and reading more by this author!
Happy Reading!

The Dark Sparrow Box set features the first three books in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells.
The first novels features three brothers who have secrets and three women who come into their lives.
The brothers are trying to get away from their father but with their life, they never can.
I love the characters and how the men are okay with being alone or suffering from family tragedies until they meet the one that will melt the ice around their heart and show them there is more to life then how they are currently living.
It sounds like there will be three more books and I am excited to meet the other three brothers and see how this series ends.

India Kells writes wonderful series with strong characters. What I liked about THE DARK SPARROW series is that while the men are strong and the women are stronger.
Each book is a standalone but there are interwoven stories and characters that tie them all together.
I enjoyed rereading these one after the other. Each story is well developed, has a little bit of everything (including superhero undies) and all have satisfying endings.
I definitely recommend this boxed set.
