So this is my first book/series I’ve read by India Kells and boy… you will experience emotions. I did anyway. The writing is so vivid and easily transported me to her world. Aleksei and Deva both tore at my heart throughout the book. I LOVED their characters and interactions. Lazarus King is a favorite too. Who doesn’t like a silver fox? At least that’s how I imagine him. 🥰 If anyone is looking for a sexy, thrilling, romance- check this out! Onto the next!

Dark Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel is the fifth book in the Bastard series by India Kells. These books keep getting better and better. Each brother’s story is a tale that needs to be told. Sam is in a dark place and when he accidentally calls the wrong number, Ellie gives him something to live for. As always it is great to see glimpses of the other brothers. I’m waiting with bated breath for November and the final book in this series……maybe……well a girl can hope maybe Ms. Kells will find a lost unknown brother out there. If you haven’t read any books in this series, I highly recommend you read them in order. You really don’t have to because each book features a new couple, but you would miss a bunch of the back story if you skipped any books. Besides they are all Five Star books. Review by @sunbarn

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!!

This is the third installment in the Dark Sparrow series and India Kells did not fail to deliver another incredible story! This is the story of Kai and Isabel. Kai and Isabel met years ago in Hawaii, fell in love, and Isabel just disappeared. Isabel is thrown back into Kai’s life as him and his bastard brothers are determined to take down his father. Isabel is a strong self-made woman but is terrified of Kai finding out all the secrets from her past. Their connection is still as strong as it was years ago in Hawaii, but can they survive the fight against Kai’s father? Can they survive each other finding out about their pasts? This author does a fantastic job drawing us into the story. Even though Kai and Isabel are the main focus, all the brothers make an appearance, yet the story is very balanced. I am ready for the next book!

The fourth book in the Dark Sparrow series has the bastard brothers still trying to take down their evil father. This is Liam and Catriona’s story. Liam is a cop who is not working do to an on the job injury. Catriona is an about to be nun, who is a wizard with numbers. The brothers feel that to take out their father, they need to stop the money. Catriona was asked by a mutual friend to help the family out. She is willing to risk her life to help them, Liam doesn’t want her to endanger her safety to do so. I love that these books are so interwoven and full of intrigue. There are so many twists and turns that are unexpected. Can Liam and Catriona also find love? Will they all come out unscathed after another run in with the bastards evil father? Thank you India Kells for the world you created and for letting me fall into it with you!

The fifth installment of the Dark Sparrow series did not disappoint. I am in love with these bastard brothers. This is Sam and Ellie’s story. Sam was a soldier, trained for danger. Ellie is a 911 operator. They had both made individual decisions to end their lives when Sam makes a call to Ellie by mistake. Hearing the sadness in her voice, he has to find out who she is and how to help her. Finding a way to be close to her also puts her in the most danger she has ever been in. Sam and Ellie both end up in the clutches of Sam’s disgusting father. Finding that they both come from childhoods that are far from even nice, can that bond them together to fight their way out of the situation they find themselves in? India Kells has a wonderful way with words that draws you in and keeps you intrigued to the last page. The epilogue for one book, is the prologue for the next, leaving you hungering for you next bastard brother fix. The women are strong, independent, and are not damsels in distress. Not only can they help save themselves; they kick ass doing it. Am absolutely in love with this author. Thank you, India Kells!

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 welcomed the perspective that India chose to tell this story. The ‘perfect life’ façade is usually a typical portrayal of characters. I appreciated that India decided to colour out the lines.
She highlighted the emotional burden that stems from trying to saying everyone (Ellie) and dealing with unresolved childhood trauma (Sam). It was important that the characters were allowed to work through this and overcame their feelings of depression. They healed in their way and on their own time. They rediscovered reasons for living.
I became fond of the characters, and I am contented that they got their happy ending. This novel will have you crying, upset and on the edge of your seat; do not just take my word for it, grab yourself a copy today.

I have read so many 5 star books lately & of course this one is too. We follow 911 dispatcher Ellie and Sam as they both coincidentally meet on the hardest night of the year for both of them. But, in the end is Ellie’s life worth the risk for Sam’s love? With a huge target on Sam’s back we’re left hanging and when it becomes a life or death situation, they need each other to get out of it. This book had numerous twists, turns, steamy scenes and at the end of the day just makes you want to fall in love. But at the same time. The cliffhanger at the end?!?🤯 I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series!

Dark is the perfect description for Sam. His history with his “father” is something worse that I imagined it to be. I knew Finch was the scum of the earth but he has proven that title is too kind.
Sam manages to try and climb out of the darkness only after a misdialed call and fate has something else in mind for him.
Ellie is something else, she wants to help everyone and seems to have taken it upon herself to save them even if they don’t want to be saved and it’s taken it’s toll on her. Her need to save may be just what Sam needs.
I have throughly enjoyed these books, especially the amazing relationships the brothers have with one another. Though not raised together they have an incredibly tight bond which leaves no doubt on who has their backs.
I’m so excited to read Oz’s story but sad that this series is probably coming to an end.

I really loved the story line and how we got to see a glimpse into their thoughts. I haven’t read a story with those triggers before but I am glad I read this one because it just shows that not every love story has that perfect narrative but can still end up as a happily ever after. Even though we don’t necessarily get that HEA at the end, I’m guessing it will come. I’ll definitely need to read the books that came before this one as well to get to know the characters a little better!

I am almost half way through the book and I am so angry at Finch. I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. I didn’t because I really need to know how this is going to turn out and well it’s my kindle. Ellie is a 911 operator and has nothing to do with this crazy world of treachery. She is on the brink of ending the non stop pain she is in emotionally when Sam calls her by mistake. One phone call may save them both or plunge them both into the beginning of a nightmare. Sam’s past comes to light in this novel and this man has suffered the obscene cruelties of life at the hands of his father. This was the first book in which a dark sparrow is not used. Gabrielle is not heard from at all. What is happening at that end? No one knows.

I love that this series is not based solely on romance, but that there is action and drama. It sucks to see the brothers all still fighting their father, he is seriously deranged! My heart broke in the beginning to learn how Ellie and Sam were both feeling about life, but seriously awesome twist that Sam happens to call Ellie’s phone instead of his brothers and a bond forms between them. I liked watching Sam and Ellie dealing with and surviving in Jamison’s home and being basically held prisoner. The bond between the brothers, even though they haven’t known each other long is beautiful. Watching Ellie and Sam fight their inner demons and come together is sweet. At the end we get a glimpse of the next story which is involving Lazarus, fantastic name, and I have been most excited to read his story!

Dark Bastard by India Kells is Book five of the Dark Sparrow series. This is the first book Ive read of the series and it can be read as a standalone.
Sam can’t do it anymore. His evil father is still out there and honestly, Sam’s just tried of being so strong all the time. Now that he’s made his decision, he makes one last phone call to his brother, only he dials the wrong number. Who new one wrong number could save your life. Ellie gives so much of herself and sometimes it’s not enough and it’s exhausting. She just can’t do it anymore. Then she gets a phone call from Adam that completely derails her plans. She can’t help but be there for him.
This book has all of the feels. There is so much happening here with these couples characters, you can’t help but get sucked in. I had to know what was gonna happen next!

Dark Bastard by India Kells will pull you in from page one! The amount of sorrow and pain I was able to feel from Sam in the first few pages literally had me hooked. The author’s ability to express his feelings is incredible and had me wishing I was able to save Sam myself! By a simple mistake, Sam calls a woman named Ellie and so the story begins between the two. When tragedy struck both Sam and Ellie, I was pulled in once again. I had to know what fate had in store for these two. I had a really hard time putting this book down. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and ability to make intense moments seem very fast pace and exhilarating, but have peaceful moments feel easy and calm. It really made me feel like I was in the story!

Sam was the one mysterious brother. Dark is a good word to describe him. We never learned much about him in previous books. In here his world gets opened up to us. Its not pleasant or happy…its the complete opposite. Weirdly Ellie seems very similar to Sam. She is currently in a dark place. Her job must be so difficult at times then she can’t shake those bad days. Funny that Sam looks at her as his light when she has as much darkness inside her as he does. I enjoyed reading and getting into the Sons of Finch world again.
Seeing all his brothers again makes me want to re read a few of their stories. Then there is that Epilogue and intro to the next and last book. I CAN NOT WAIT! I always knew these two had some chemistry between them.

India Kells has once again won over my heart with her suspenseful and oh so beautiful dark romance with Dark Bastard, the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow novels. I would personally recommend that you start at the beginning to fully love and enjoy all these books for what they really are, but they could be read as standalones if that is more your jam. These books take you away and make you feel as if you are on a dark adventure of sorts and each one just gets better and better, not an easy task to accomplish for sure with these books as they are all phenomenal. With Dark Bastard we get the story of Sam and Ellie and what a smashing power couple they are! These two will quickly steal your heart and make you want to fall in love all over again. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next installment either!

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells
5 Stars (deserves so many more)
This is absolutely one of my favorite series ever. I’m loving this continuing storyline and these brothers just keep pulling me in. You really must read these in order to get the whole dynamic of what exactly is happening, and what has happened. Sam was always just mentioned in previous books, you knew he was there and played a huge part, but you don’t know what that part is until this book.
My heart strings were being pulled right from the first chapter. Both Sam and Ellie had such heartbreaking stories and yet were both so very strong. I felt every emotion in this book, and truly think it might just be my favorite of them all so far. That is hard to say because they are all completely amazing.
This part gave us a little more of the ongoing storyline, up close and personal, which was scary in itself. Each one of these books keep me on the edge of my seat and I’ve learned to quit guessing what’s going to happen next because this author has all of her own ideas that keep throwing me for a loop. I read this in one sitting because I literally could not put it down.
Lazarus is up next, and the little snippet at the end of this one has me needing that story even more.
I can’t recommend this series enough, read them in order, seriously! Then get ready because you will want to read them all over again and again.

5 Stars Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 5) by India Kells
Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow’s Series by India Kells. I highly recommend reading the first four books if you haven’t already started them. Although this can be read as a standalone reading them in order will help in understanding what is going on and you get to meet the other brothers as well. This is a wonderfully written Romantic Suspense that once you start reading you won’t want to put down till you finish. This I must say is my absolute favorite yet. I’m a huge fan of this author and she never disappoints that’s for sure. This is Sam and Ellie’s story. Both of them have dark pasts and are both thinking about ending their lives. Sam accidentally misdials and ends up getting Ellie . These two are intense and will have you turning the pages while on the edge of your seat. Find out what happens next in this absolute must read. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Dark Bastard is the 5th book in A Dark Sparrow Novel series by India Kells. First of all, I have enjoyed other books written by Ms. Kells. She is one of my favorite authors that I discovered in the last year and a half. I would caution readers that reading this series in order would be most beneficial. Each book shares the story of the 6 brothers which help make this such a wonderful series.
The book did not disappoint, it is action packed full of interesting characters and brings together two people in turmoil when they need each other the most. Both Sam and Ellie are tired of giving their all to others and feel they are close to ending their lives. A misdialed call between the two of them on New Years Eve starts a connection they never expected. Can the two of them help each other in ways they never expected? I’ll leave that for you to find out.

In the continuing story of the Bastard Series, author India Kells sucks you into the story right from the start. I read this book so quickly. I loved the story of Liam and Catriona. Liam is a Chicago police officer and Catriona is a great money tracker. The brothers are recouping after their last run in with Finch but still working hard to bring him down. They place their hopes in Catriona to find where Finch is hiding his money so they can cut it off. She has her work cut out for her as danger begins to surround them. A few more characters are added to this story and brings a heart warming conclusion. On to book 5. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen. I am so invested in all these characters I will miss them when the series is done.

This book is the 5th book in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. I have inhaled this series. The story is intriguing and causes me to need to know what happens next. The story continues with Sam and the special lady named Ellie. Their story held me captive. I loved the way they were together. Even if they have a need to be the hero. But that only reinforced the fact that they belonged together. I need November to be here like yesterday.

It has been a minute since I inhaled a series this quickly. This is one I have to find out how it is going to end. Liam and Catronia’s story fed all my needs. I literally read this in one sitting. I refused to put the book down to do things like eat and adulting. I loved the chemistry between them. Add the forbidden note to the story (though it was not completely forbidden), my heart was so full. I am enjoying seeing the brothers come together to stop their crazy father. I totally recommend this series.

As with the first two books, this book dragged me in almost immediately. I needed the next installation of this family’s story. Kells didn’t let me down with this book. In this book, we meet another brother named Kai and his leading lady Isabel. The angst in this book fed my angsty soul. The two have to work through their baggage to have something real. I rooted for them the entire way while they work to take down Finch. I am seriously loving this story. It is amazing!

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.

Dark Bastard is the fifth book in the Dark Sparrow series. It can be read as a standalone, but it has a much better impact if you’ve read the previous books to get all of the background.
I think this is my favorite in the series thus far. We haven’t gotten King’s book yet, and I have a feeling that one is going to be amazing, but for right now, yeah, this one is my favorite.
I loved Ellie. Even at her lowest point, she’s thinking about others. She handles the danger she faces bravely and keeps her wits about her. She accepts Sam as he is. Loved that strength in a female lead.
We finally get to understand Sam and what he’s been through. I love that he is willing to take the risk to love Ellie, even though he feels so completely broken.
Truly engaging read!

On the verge of ending it all, Sam misdials his brother and calls Ellie, who also is on the verge. This was a book that kept me intrigued the entire time. But do kindrid spirits really fan the flame or will outside forces ruin what they’ve found?

Author India Kells does it again. This book was top notch. Isabel and Kai have met before and fell in love until she left without notice. Isabel had her reasons. After 15 years they are face to face again, pain and lost love brings back hurt and remorse to Isabel. Isabel is the black sparrow in this story and is put in close proximity to Finch. Finch wants to become Mayor of Chicago and enlists Isabel’s company to handle his campaign. I can not believe what happens in this book. Finch is worse than I ever thought. This story was a turning point in the series. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen in book 4. If you haven’t read this series, It is a must read.

This is the 5th book in this series. This is a Romantic Suspense novel and is 153 pages in length. This story follows Sam and Ellie. Sam was a soldier and was just about to give up on life. He meant to call his brother one last time but did a fat finger dial and ended up with calling someone named Ellie, who felt in the same boat as Sam. What better way to start to the new year than in God’s presence, right? Both have a traumatic past they are dealing with and feel they would rather not deal with it at all. That one misdialed phone call will end up changing their path in life forever.

I honestly just love this author so much; I’ve lost count of how many of her books I have ready and I’m sure each one just gets better and better. I am really enjoying this series and I think this may have been my favourite so far! Sam and Ellie – oh my – what a couple! I loved their story, Sam’s story honestly broke my heart sometimes, I just really wanted something positive for him in his life and I knew as soon as he made contact with Ellie, she would be the one to do it! Ellie had her past problems as well and I really felt for her, both of these characters had almost but given up until that fateful wrong number and from then on, I was rooting for them the whole way through! There are some parts if this story that will trigger some readers but as always, the author deals with them sensitively whilst remaining true to life. I cannot recommend this book enough – it really is an amazing, emotional and heart-breaking read at times and well worthy of the 5 stars I give it!
