My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A cold New Year’s eve brought two sad and lonely people together through a wrong number. Sam and Ellie are two souls that were thinking the same thing. Sam picked up on the despondency in her voice and his desire to end it was gone. He had to find Ellie. Using his brother, Lazarus, skill, he finds her and their adventure begins. His father decides to wreak havoc and cause trouble. Sam and Ellie get themselves through this and prove love overcomes all. I love how the author ties together the two characters overcoming their issues to find the relationship they should be in. Though a bit dark, it’s also heartwarming and a bit of a tearjerker. I highly recommend

Izzy and Kai have a history and secrets. There is also the dastardly evilness, Finch. Being thrown together in a Dark Sparrow mission to take down Finch, Izzy and Kai have to work through hard feelings, brothers telling them how to feel, and secrets being uncovered. Kai is pretty hard headed and stubborn. Izzy is strong and has her own PR management firm. She believes she can pretty much take care of herself. These two clash as they try to figure out what they have now. A feisty pairing that just may work or won’t it? I loved the pairing. The chemistry sizzles off the page. A definite mus

Liam, a cop shot on duty, and Catronia, a forensic financial expert, will be going through Finch’s financial records. Gab mentioned that Catronia was a sister (but not really one yet). Talk about complicated. This is a relationship full of challenges, flirting and inuendo. Toss in Finch and the brothers and it’s ripe for another fun chapter in the Dark Sparrow series. Great plot that keeps you reading for more. Well written characters that have such real personalities that jump right off the page. You should give this a try.

Dark Bastard (Dark Sparrow, #5)Dark Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The word dark is right there in the title, and it certainly fills the inside of the story. Mental health issues, trauma, emotional exhaustion.. it’s all here. The book starts heavy, with Sam coming to the unfortunate conclusion that he’s reached the end of his rope. He doesn’t see a way to keep going, and doesn’t want to be the “weak link”. By chance he calls the wrong number, and that was all the reason he needed to keep going. Even if he thought it was only temporary, to help Ellie.

Ellie was wrung dry from life, her job. Her soul was weary and dark, much like Sam’s. Them finding each other was a blessing and a curse. A curse because of Sam’s awful Father. This book was heavy, but by the ending there was light and I finished with a smile.

This is a series that I have loved from the first book. This book is no different. This is a well written story that has characters that are hot, steamy and not only that but brought life to the story for me. The author’s use of details made the story realistic as well as connectable. This is part of the A Dark Sparrow series by this author which I would highly suggest reading all of them as they are just as awesome as this one. This is a story about life struggles and confronting them no matter how evil, dark they are. This really is an awesome story that I couldn’t put down until the last page. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Kells is an extremely skilled author, particularly when it comes to romantic suspense. This installment didn’t disappoint. And the narration was spot on. It took the action and emotion to a whole new level. Loved it.

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Heidi Schoolman

This is the 1st book in the series.  This is an audio book and is just over 9 hours listening time.  This is written by India Kells and narrated by Antonio Turner.  This story follows Deva and Aleksei.  Deva is physical therapist and Aleksei is a cage fighter born out of Russia and has ties to Bratva. Now, after a decade, she is heading back to Chicago and is pulled back into the underground.  You see, when Deva was rescued 10 years prior, she agreed to return the favor.  That favor has been called in – now she must get close to Aleksei and report back what she has found out.  But now she finds herself in danger once more.

I have read several books by Ms. Kells and enjoyed every single one.  This one is no different,  I loved the story and the narration by Antonio Turner.  He was able to give depth and something to the characters that you don’t always get when reading the book.

Aleksei and Deva clicked for me the moment they met and holy wow did they click.  Those intimate moments were incredibly intense and hot.

I loved this book and look forward to listening/reading the rest of this series.

Absolutely loved this book. The chemistry between the two main characters is on fire. Deva who escaped her life as a Mc princess is called in to pay off a debt and to her distaste it is babysitting Aleksi the sexy, bad-boy cage fighter. Both finding the last thing they thought they would find, true hardcore love and nothing will stand in the way. Cannot wait to read the next installment.

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Mrs R

I really enjoyed the story in this book. The way all the different threads weaved together kept me reading to the end.
Lots of planning must have gone into this book and there were lots of side characters involved and they really added to the story. They were introduced at a pace so you can get to know them and I can see lots more stories to come involving them.
Deva was a character I really struggled to like, and I don’t think I ever did for the entire book. She escaped the brutal MC life and knew she couldn’t safely go back. Yet she exposed herself to the MC groups when she didn’t need to, opening up a huge can of worms that could have easily stayed hidden. She also constantly put herself into dangerous situations she didn’t need to, causing unnecessary problems to the group. I also felt that she inserted herself as the MC expert, even after claiming to have been kept in the dark due to being female, and staying away for 10+ years.
I was quite shocked at Deva’s first interaction with Alesei, but it did set the stage for their relationship, which was extremely fast paced from the beginning.

I enjoyed the narration voice, however some of the accents weren’t consistent, especially during conversations where he had to keep switching from British to American. I also found the audio slow, and listened at x1.5 speed, which seemed to suit me.

4 out of 5 stars

 

Lost Bastard by India Kells is a thrill a minute ride into the underworld of crime, gangs, motorcycle clubs, and finding your way out.  The story is crafted so deliciously that you almost forget about all the horrible stuff going on with the characters.  Once inside their world, it is hard to find your way out, just like them.  Amazing storytelling and so many characters to fall in love with and to drool over.  Riding with Lazurus, Deva, and the crew can only get better!  

 

Deva Landry came from a world of violence and pain.  She found a way out.  It wasn’t an easy choice to start over with a new life.  But just all choices, it came at a price.  Now 12 years later, she is being asked to repay her debt.  Deva is thrown back into the world from which she escaped, but this time there is more than just her freedom on the line.  

 

Aleksei Voronov isn’t what he appears to be.  He appears to be a branded, muscled fighting machine.  Aleksei has also known violence and pain but differently from Deva.  When Deva and Aleksei cross paths, their pasts draw them closer together but can the past also serve to tear them apart?  Can their pasts serve the joint purpose that has brought them together in the first place?  Will they find the love they deserve in each other?

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Angela Shirley

When you get drawn back into the life you thought you have left behind, will she have the courage to loss everything for love.

Deva owes everything she has to one woman who she promised in return one favour, but she she receives a phone call activating “Dark Sparrow” Deva gets worried that she will be drawn into the world she left behind.

Alexsei has fought hard in life literally as he is involved within the underground MMA fighting scene, until one day with the gym he sees her from the ring. He doesn’t know why he is so attracted to this formidable woman but he needs to get closer to her. The only problem is he is dangerous and she is innocent how can he involve her within his world.

Until one night when both worlds collide and will they ever be able to pursue the love and attraction which is there for both of them.

I loved this story as the first in the series it lays some of the groundwork for the series but it is gripping from the first word written. The story is full of twists and turns with gangs and mobsters, killings, manipulation in buckets.

The secondary character provide a great arc within the story and I loved how they all interacted with each other and love the way the story weaves and finishes off brilliantly. This is not the first book I have read by this author but this maybe the best series I have read in a long-time. I recommend this book if you love Mob bosses, strong men but even stronger female heroines.

Five Stars

 

Lost Bastard is the first book in the Dark Sparrows series by India Kells. I have read/ listened to most of Ms Kells books, and I think this series is going to be a favorite of mine. The suspense and action really held my attention throughout the fast paced book. Deva and Aleksei make a wonderful couple. Both are strong characters who stick together to overcome evil. As they traverse through MCs, cage fighting and the mob, they learn about each other and their families. This series is going to be amazing if this book is any indication. I hope that the secondary characters will flow through the whole series. 

The narrator Antonio Turner has a great voice. This is the first book I have listened to by him. He really brought the characters to life and I’m looking forward to hearing more of his narrations.

I am totally all in with this book! The narrator was truly fantastic in this audio as well. This book is full of twists and turns with suspense, fighting MMA, mafia and mobsters. I loved the spark between Aleksei and Deva. Having a strong female character with Deva, I enjoyed her spirit no non-sense style. Deva comes back from being away as a favor and has to get close to Aleksei whom has some dark ties. This book is just so fantastic, cannot wait to continue this series.

Holy Cow I loved listening to this book, the narrator did an outstanding job with bringing the characters to life. I could listen to him all day long. This author is one of my favorites and I never hesitate to pick up any books by her. This one kept me on the edge of my seat and at times I wanted the narrator to talk faster. Listening to this book took it to a whole new level for me. If you like books that are packed with suspense, mobs, gangs, drama and some Romance then I highly recommend reading/listening to this book. I can’t wait to listen to more of her books.

India Kells does it again with this great audio. The story pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the very end. The Narrator was a good choice for this book, I don’t listen to male narrators very often but Antonio Turner did a great job. He has a nice voice and i lost myself in the story and his voice. The drama, suspense and romance kept me coming back and the characters made stay. I will listen to more by this author in the future and i wouldn’t mind listening to this narrator again too.
Happy Listening!

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Kerry Baker

Lost Bastard Audio Book by India Kells is a Dark Sparrow Novel. This is one of those books that has a bit of everything – action, romance, bad boys and so much more. The story kick straight off with a bang and barely gives you time to catch your breath.

I was drawn to each of the characters for such different reasons and they really make the book interesting.

For me however what really tops this audio book into fantastic is the narrator. He absolutely nails all the different accents and personalities. I could clearly tell each of them apart and really got a feel for them all. I couldn’t stop listening to him narrate the book.

This is fantastic book by a brilliant author and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This is an author I have enjoyed from the first book of hers I picked up.  I was excited to pick up this audible.  I enjoyed the narrator’s voice and how they gave life to the characters.  With the changing of voice tones, it made the story fun to listen to.  This is a story of drama, suspense, mob and gangs, what more could you ask for in a story.  The twists and turns had me wanting to know what would happen next.  This was an entertaining story that I found to be engaging and the characters were easy to fall in love with.  I loved this audible and highly recommend it.

AUDIO BOOK

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 

This is a full length novel. Set around MC’s, gangs, romance and family drama. The suspense will be your biggest reward. Not for those under 18 due to violence and adult themes.

 

Deva Landry has escaped her princess life, and her MC family as well. She has escaped an unwanted marriage, and now there is a price on her head. She must keep her head about her and keep low. Trouble comes when she is asked to take care of Aleksei, an underground fighter. That is where she could be in danger. Can she protect Aleksei as well as herself in this story? Will she survive the fight of her life?

 

India Kells you have done it again! Well wrote and loaded with twists and turns. Just when I felt it was safe to set the book down, you drop in chaos. So therefore I stayed up all night, with this page turner. I love the characters and admire the strength Deva holds. I can’t wait to start the next book in this series. Well Done India Kells! Well Done!! 

Lost Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 1) AUDIO BOOK by India Kells – Review by Bridget McCullough

This book is packed full of such amazing writing. I was thoroughly impressed with this first book in the series. It managed to balance introducing quite a few side characters and giving them depth and backstory while not overwhelming the reader with too much to keep track of. The main characters in particular are written with so much intricacy that you immediately feel connected to them and invested in their story.

Deva, our main heroine has been hiding from a past that she is terrified of returning to but an obligation to pay off a debt pushes her to confront her past and in doing so she meets Aleksei, a fighter with an story of his own full of twists and turns. He has a sexy alpha personality but is there more to his story than meets the eye? And will Deva let herself fall for someone who reminds her so much of the past she left behind?

WOW WOW WOW!!! This book had me on the brink throughout. This is the first book I have read from this amazing author India Kells. I will certainly be reading more. This book is based on the mob underworld and has so many twists and turns you will not be able to put it down. Lots of lack of sleep with this one. The character building is phenomenal and you get very attached to the main characters as well as sub characters. I loved Deva and her bravery and outspoken attitude. She is a woman that has come into her own after coming back to Chicago. Is there anyone that can be trusted? I got to a point in this book where there would be a happily ever after or would make me cry my eyes out. India Kells, bravo as this was an amazing read.

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive Audio Book by India Kells

 

This isn’t the first book I’ve had a chance of listening to. India Kells is an amazing author and Antonio Turner is an amazing narrator.

 

Lani is a web designer and painter. She loves her art and dreams of her own studio. Needing to find a way out of working on anymore designs. The quote I chose for Lani is: “I’m Emilio McKay’s niece. He just died.”

 

Max was Lani’s uncle’s friend. He’s in charge of Lani’s inheritance. When he falls for her things turn to be the same for her. The quote I chose for Max is: “To be honest I’m not surprised. It’s very much the Emilio McKay that I’ve known.”

 

Highly recommended for Erotica Romance lovers.

The Inheritance, The Story of an Unlikely Submissive AUDIO BOOK by India Kells and Narrated by Antonio Turner. This is my first audible book narrated by Antonio Turner and hot dang he did a great job. I’ve read several books by this author but I’m just starting to get into audible and this book was definitely worth the listen. I will recommend not listening when around little ears. This is a hot and steamy book that will definitely leave you needing to cool down at times. This is about Lani and Max , she finds out her uncle has left her an Inheritance but he also put conditions on it she has to fulfill before she can have it. This is where Max comes in he’s going to help her complete the tasks. She had no idea she was missing something in her life until she met Max. Their chemistry is off the charts. I highly recommend giving this a listen. I’m definitely going to check out more books narrated by Antonio Turner.

This book is definitely HOT HOT HOT. The characters were interesting, though I would have liked a little more background on each. The storyline itself was good, and the audible version was enjoyable – the narrator’s voice is like melted butter SO YUMMY!! The ending was anti-clamatic after all the steaminess of the story, but overall a easy enjoyable listen.
