5 out of 5 stars
This is a wonderful box set that has exciting and enjoyable stories to read. They are stories that include the paranormal. Witches, shifters, and vampires make up the included characters. They have a safe place called The Sanctuary. The stories are well-written and had me hooked. The characters I believe are a large part of why I love the stories so much. The women are intelligent, strong, independent, and resourceful. The men find them irresistible and hard to stay away from. There is chemistry and attraction between them. I couldn’t help but root for them all to find happiness. There are very romantic scenes included. Read this book set to find out what the future holds. Besides the main characters, there are also additional characters that are introduced, and I enjoyed reading about how everyone interacts. The author does an amazing job of making the stories come alive and I didn’t want to put them down until I had finished the final page. Don’t miss out on an entertaining set of stories that you will fall in love with. I highly recommend reading this box set.

There is a lot going on in the story that kept me engrossed. I got lost in it and couldn’t put it down I mean who needs sleep when there is an entire world to get lost in. I was invested in their lives and the plight they faced. There is action and drama, mystery and intrigue that keeps you enthralled because India’s words make you imagine and feel like you are a part of this bewitching story. The romance aspect story was enough on its own but the twists and plot made for one explosive and exceptional piece of work.

The bonus Novella – Hidden Magic is a fast paced short read but just because it is a short story does not mean it is not packed with action and magic and of course romance. This engaging read, holds you spell bound as it evokes so many emotions and feelings. Although this novella is part of the Sanctuary Chronicles it could be read as stand-alone. It was good to catch up on old friends and I must say I fell in love with the main characters in this story as much as I have the others.

This is a box set that contains The Sanctuary Chronicles Books 1-3 plus an awesome novella. This is an author I have enjoyed reading from the first one of her books I picked up. Her writing skills are such that she makes you feel part of the story as well as characters that pop off the pages. This boxset is no different. Each story is full of action, romance with characters that are creative such as witches, vampires and werewolves. Hot characters that bring each story to life and each are unique in their own way. A paranormal adventure that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This was a great book! There was plenty of action, chemistry between the characters, and lots of suspense. I really loved the danger and intrigue of this book. This was definitely a page-turner.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was something, guys. Liam, a cop, and Catriona, a nun, stole my heart. They were absolutely perfect together. I love when couples aren’t picture perfect for one another in every way and that’s exactly what India Kells gave us with True Bastard. The love in this book is unlikely and unexpected, but it really works. The supporting characters were really well developed, also! While this is book 4, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Once again we are entranced by another Bastard! True Bastard is Book 4 in the Dark Sparrows series by India Kells. Liam Harker is one of the brothers that is ready to take down his father for all that it costs. Problem number one…he is a cop. He has been tasked to go through his father’s financials but in order to do so he is going to need some help. Here comes problem number two…his help is newbie nun who just happens to have a talent in numbers. And the final problem…he has an attraction to said nun. Sister Catriona Walsh is just about to take her vows to become a full-fledged nun when she is asked to help Liam go through the financials. I would definitely read the other books first as they contain information to keep you informed about what has happened previously. I loved this book as I loved the others and I really hope that there is another book in the series so we can finish out the brothers. I just love all the character and how they interact with each other. It is such an adventure to see this series unfold and this book didn’t disappoint!

True Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
You have been an orphan and been shown love within the church and shown compassion will she be able to unmelt the cold heart and show love to a lost soul.
Catriona has lived her life in a sheltered convent but when she recieves to call to action will she be able to put aside the love she feels for a man she can’t have.
Liam is broken as one of the bastard sons of Finch he is trying to get them rest of his brothers to get him legitimately, so when he starts digging within his father’s finances will Catriona be able to find the missing piece to get the sadistic man Finch.
Kai and Liam were my favourite brothers within this series so far and I loved that they both get books, the chemistry between these two characters jumps off the page like all the stories so far. I love the way the story has arced through all four books but they are brilliantly enough to read as stand alone books also, but to be honest who would as they are brilliant and full of twists and turns can’t wait to read the next book, please please please Oz and Sasha would be appreciated.

True Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #4) by India Kells was a good 4 star read and can be read as a stand alone.
Liam was injured on the job and is still working on bringing his father down, along with his brothers. Knowing that they need some additional help, we meet Catriona. As soon as Liam meets her there are some instant sparks. There is only one problem, Catriona is a nun.
Will she be able to help Liam? Can Liam stay away from Catriona and keep it professional?
These two have similar childhoods, Catriona was an orphan raised by nuns and Liam was raised by his uncle. There is so much going on, you are on the edge of your seat. The author does a great job with her writing. We get suspense, danger, romance and so much more.
Overall this was a great read. All of the characters added a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great read that pulls you in, 1-click and get started today. I will warn that there is a scene that could be a trigger for some. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.

Wild Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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.
Cold Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
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.

True Bastard is the fourth book in the Dark Sparrow series You could probably read this as a standalone, but you’ll enjoy it more with the backstory from the other books in the series.
I have to say, I relate to the opening in chapter one where Liam feels like meeting Catriona is a cosmic joke. I have felt that way many times in my life. Things seem to line up perfectly, and then the universe lowers the boom. I felt for the guy, lol.
This story is everything you would expect from this author – great chemistry between the characters, adventure, angst, and romance. Once you start reading, you’ll stay up all night just to finish it!

This is not my first book by India Kells but I would have to say that this is one of my favorites. India Kells puts a lot of heart and soul into her characters. They are fully developed and have unique qualities. She gives them such personable personalities. Take Liam, he is a cop and he wants to make his father pay for wrongdoings. Now there is only one who can help him and that is Sister Catriona. You read that right Sister Catriona, as in a nun title. Sister Catrionais great at numbers and he feels like she can help him. Then something happens that changes Liam’s feelings for Sister Catriona. You will have to read the book to see what happens.

I started the book and quickly got distracted by kids…to be honest, I’m sad this happened. Restarted the story and it got me as soon as I had my full attention on it. It’s so good, I couldn’t put it down. Liam the cop and Catriona the little nun, you can immediately tell the attraction between the two and you won’t want to wait to see what happens. Add in Liam’s brothers and their girlfriends/families, the book just gets better and better. This book is great alone but I sure can’t wait to read about the rest of the brothers!

True Bastard the fourth book in A Dark Sparrow series written by India Kells is amazing I have read all the books in this series so far and I think Liam and Catriona are my favorites. The characters are amazing and well written. I loved their banter and quirks. This book contains danger, suspense, and romance We even get to see what is going on with the other couples from the first three books.
This is the story about Liam.
Liam is a cop and has issues in the last few years he found and met his brothers got injured on the job luckily while he is recuperating e still is active on the most important case of his life and that’s to bring his father down.
Faced with the insurmountable task of going through his father’s financials, he is thrown a lifeline when a mutual friend sends novice nun Sister Catriona Walsh to help.
Catriona is good with numbers and Liam can really use her help. The first time Liam meets Catriona is an angel and he is really attractive to her but he needs to keep his distance. Catriona also feels attraction to Liam but he runs hot and cold.
Catriona is equally attractive to Liam but will she act on this attraction or will she still say her vows? Will Liam act on his attraction or will he walk away?
You will have to read this amazing story but I highly suggest you rea all the books in this series in order….

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.”
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good read.

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?”

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.”

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…”
This is recommended for MC lovers and if course romance lovers.

True Bastard by India Kells is the fourth book in A Dark Sparrow Novel series. The series focuses on a different couple in each book. These can be read as standalone books, but I really have enjoyed reading them in order because they build upon each other. These books are fun and exciting to read. Liam and Catriona are fascinating to read about. The contrast between the two characters is so good and really made me enjoy their story even more. This story is not a straight romance but also contains action, thrills, and twists. I have enjoyed the books in this series as well as others by this author and this one did not disappoint. I look forward to reading more by India Kells in the future.
True Bastard by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a great adventure from the first page. It is number 4 in the Dark Sparrow Series. I loved this story and was gripped from the very beginning.
Liam is one of the brothers who is on a mission to bring down his evil father. Along with his brothers they are looking for a way to destroy him before he destroys them. When Liam gets a hold of his fathers finances they need an expert to help them with it.
A mutual friend recommends a expert called Catriona. Catriona is a wizard with figures and can find a trail anywhere but what makes her different is she is training to become a nun.
When Liam and Catriona meet there is an instant spark but Liam doesn’t want her to turn her back on her path or force her to do that so he keeps his distance and pushes her away.
Can the angel and the man covered in sin be together? Can they work together to bring his father down or will they end up only destroying themselves.
