My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a good find! 6 amazing books that help my engagement and interest! The books were beyond spectacular! I was hooked on every single one! Each book held my interest and had me literally on the edge of my seat! These were impossible to put down!

I loved how each book could be read as a stand alone, but why would you want to just read one? I loved each one had a story of a character of one of the 6 brothers we learned about, and their story. The females they meet that complete them, but also push them and test their limits! I found the females courageous and ruthless as the men were! The books were full of suspense and a mysterious tone. Things in everyone were not as they seemed. They were all gripping and had the shock factors I love.

Could not get enough of this series and all the characters it held! I was held and wanting more as I read through the books! I highly recommend the series and author! You are in for a great time!

This is a wonderful series! I LOVE the different storylines and all the characters. Lucky you! You get access to all these guys in one shot! This series has thrills, chills, drama and hotties! Sassy spitfire ladies and those MEN ! Plus the stories are filled with intrigue and suspense! Each story kept me on the edge and I read late into the night to reach the conclusions! This is one of my favorite series that I enjoy over and over!

Cold Bastard is my absolute favorite in the series because it left me speechless. This book….this book was so good! It was intriguing and kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved everything about the two main characters. Archer is strong, smart heck-a good looking and British! Yes I said British!!! He is a muscular, tattooed suit wearing British speaking hottie!! Although he looks good in sweatpants as well. He is cold and emotionless until a little fireball known as Zoe shows up in his life. Zoe is a curvy little redhead with a smart mouth. She is supremely intelligent and takes nothing from anyone. I enjoyed how she was so body conscious…it made her seem more real. The back and forth between these two is electric! I could not get enough of their banter. I could never decide whether to read slower or faster. Either way was torture. This story did bring out many emotions while reading. I was irritated a few times along with shocked, worried and in awe. I usually am a fan of the male in the story but Zoe’s part was so good that I just am a fan of them both. Although Archer does pull ahead…because of that smexy British Accent!!

They are all just as delightful and sinfully sexy as Cold Bastard. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes back and forth banter between characters and intrigue, suspense and some drama.

I loved every book in this boxset. It is a unique set where each book focuses on a separate brother but they are all linked and I would strongly recommend reading them in order so you get a real feel for the brothers, their lives and their current situations.Each brother has a unique upbringing a with some trauma, the thing they have in common is their father. Their father is one evil man who will stop at nothing to destroy his sons.
Now the brother must work together to end their father and protect the ones they love.
These books are filling with suspense, danger and romance and it is a story that will give you from beginning to end.

Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book SeriesDark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This entire series was remarkable. I was so drawn to all the characters and the trials they each went through. As a family of sorts they stick together to fight their evil father.

Lost Bastard Book 1

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.

Cold Bastard Book 2

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.

Wild Bastard Book 3

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.

True Bastard Book 4

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.
Dark Bastard Book 5

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.

King Bastard Book 6

Loved Loved Loved this finale of this series. The eldest in the family and the doctor. The author was so dynamic in her story telling of this book. I literally could not put this book down. As always you get glimpses of all your favorite characters in this book as well. The closeness and struggles that come with most families. This book will have you riveted to your seat as you wait for the next foot to fall. The author does not disappoint in any way. This is a must read. I’m just sad that these wonderful characters have come to an end. I could read about them for much longer.

Wow! This box set was exactly what I needed to get our of my reading slump. Six different book and each book comes with a different pair of people, each unique in their own ways. It was hard trying to figure out which couple was my favorite. They were all wonderful and badass in their own ways. Each is a stand alone book and not needed to read the others. The writing was simply amazing and I immediately was pulled in the world that the author created in each book! I’m impressed and will definitely re-reading this boxed set!

This is a great series to binge read. Once you get started you won’t want to put them down. In my personal opinion each book was a bit better than its predecessor. The author does a great job of telling the stories of each individual brother and the women they come to love while trying to take down the man they call their father. I’m very glad I took a chance on an author that I had never heard of before because I have come to find some great stories that I want to keep going forever.

The Dark Sparrow boxset was fantastic! This author is definitely a go to for me because their books are always amazing and I never want put them down! Here are a few reviews of my favorites from this boxset!
Cold Bastard
(Dark Sparrow #2)
This is the first book that i have read by this author and i really liked it! I was pulled into the story from the start and i couldn’t put it down! The characters in this book are fantastic, even if Archer was a bit much with his attitude. But other than that i loved both him and Zoe. This book was a little dark and i liked that aspect of it. It has some unexpected events and over all i thought this was an awesome book!

Wild Bastard
(Dark Sparrow #3)
This story is all about second chances and with the history that Kai and Izzy have, there is alot going on in their lives. They work so well together but the amount of secrets weigh heavily on their shoulders and that can slowly drive people apart.
This book had a little bit of everything. There is suspense, romance, action, danger and a whole lot of drama. It an extremely well written story that i lost myself in from the moment i picked it up. I would recommend it to a friend.

True Bastard
(Dark Sparrow #4)
This story is about Liam and Catriona Walsh. They were such awesome main charcters and so different than any characters I’ve read before. Their story intrigued me and I was pulled in from page one. This book was full of emotions, drama and danger. I couldn’t get enough.

Overall this is a great boxset and it comes with 6 full length books inside! I would definitely recommend this to a friend!
Happy Reading!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness, I am so glad I was able to read all 6 books at once, because I think I would have gone crazy while waiting to read the next book! This is an explosive series, full of sexy alpha males (a description I never thought I would ever use), strong, gorgeous, intelligent women, and a dark twisty story line that hooks you from the start. Over the course of 6 books we get to know 6 half-brothers, who call themselves the bastards and their father, Jamison Finch, a dark sick man, who after realizing his oldest son Lazarus, would not be taking over his empire, instead decides to use his resources to destroy his children. Lazarus a former MI6 operative has been working to take down his father and keep his brothers, Aleksei, Archer, Kai, Liam, and Sam safe. Lazarus reaches out to an old friend who runs a deep secret agency called Purgatory to help him destroy his father. The leader Beatrice is unwilling to involve her agents, but instead offers a different solution, her Dark Sparrows. Women she assisted in getting out of horrific situations and starting over with a clean slate, who have vowed to come to her aid whenever called. Each book focuses on one brother and the dark sparrow who comes into his life to help him with his specific concern. Over the course of the books, we get to see how truly evil Jamison is and the extremes he will go to destroy his sons and inflict even more damage than he already has, but we also get to see how the brothers learn to work together and fall in love with the women who come into their lives. Each story is extremely steamy and action keeps you focused until the final page. As the books progress, the subject matter does get darker, but it’s not overly descriptive with the darker elements. I love how the author is able to create strong women who were able to overcome their pasts and become the amazing women they are now., who don’t back down from a fight and will work with the men they love to overcome an evil megalomaniac bent on destruction. If you like action adventure, twists, steamy scenes, and fully developed characters who will keep you guessing until the final page this is definitely a series you will want to check out!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading the Dark Sparrow books 1-6 was my first encounter with India Kells’ writing, and all I can say is WOW! This book series centers around half-blood brothers who all lead very different lives, but have all been sired and abandoned by the same dangerous criminal, Jamieson Finch. Each book spotlights a brother and one of the Dark Sparrows who is recruited in by Purgatory to aid in the mission of bringing Finch down. The Dark Sparrows are women who owe their lives to Purgatory for one reason or another, and have agreed to help them if the need ever arose.

I applaud Kells on her ability to make every story unique. Each brother and female lead is vastly different in personality and lifestyle, crafting completely different storylines. I enjoyed that many of the characters I grew to love in each book before continued to make an appearance so that it didn’t feel as if they were gone and their story was over. The books are written in a way that you could read any one of them as a standalone, but I highly suggest reading them all in order as each story does have parts that link the previous books together. If you like handfuls of romance, action and suspense, this just might be the perfect world to curl up with and get lost in.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This box set is original and the most action-packed, romantic suspense you’ll find on the market right now. This author has written six of the best books I’ve read and the best part is they are all in one set:
Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard, Wild Bastard, True Bastard, Dark Bastard,
King Bastard. Each of them is well-written and well-developed. The characters are individually defined. Though your classic battle of good and evil, it’s modernized and sexy. Finch is the evil bastard out to twist plans. The good guys win but they also hide secrets so the challenges abound in the battles. That is the best part of the story. Nothing is as it seems yet all is well. A plot that goes all over the place yet has no choppiness. The story is very engaging. I felt myself getting pulled in right from the beginning and it didn’t stop until the end of the story. I loved this set. I know you will to. Hit that one-click. You won’t regret it.

5 Star BoxSet!

I highly recommend these books and what better than to have them all at once in a set?

Book 2
Such a great book! The story was filled with steamy romance, drama and action making for an excellent read.
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 and kind of jealous she has such a great thing going for her with that. The chemistry between her and her new boss Archer is off the charts and I love them together. 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 loveable 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.

Book 3
A great follow up to Cold Bastard. In this book we meet Kai and Izzy. I was so hoping for their story and my dreams came true. This book is a nice mix of romance and suspense, so it will have you engrossed the whole way through.
Kai’s father is a douche and Kai will stop at nothing to bring his father’s company down while also dealing with this 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. I do wish Kai and Izzy were not in so many compromising situations, or I could see them together quicker, but then we wouldn’t have a great story right?
Second chance romance is one of my top favorite genres, so this book was perfect and everything I wanted for Izzy and Kai. I would recommend reading to find out if Izzy and Kai can make it through all of this drama. This book can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you start from the beginning. This author never disappoints.

Book 4
5 stars!
I love India Kells! This is the fourth book in the series and it could be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend reading the previous three, it is nice to be introduced to the brothers starting with the first book. I love how all of the brothers are half brothers and have formed bond so tight because of their one common goal, to take their father down. Liam and Catriona’s story had me hooked as much as the previous stories. The characters were nicely developed and the story was easy to follow and get lost in. I can totally understand Catriona’s choice to become a nun, but I can also see the strong attraction and pull she has to Liam, so of course I was rooting for her to ditch the sisterhood and get her man. Liam, I was happy to hear that he at least had some love growing up with his uncle, but being thrust into the world of his father, Jamison Finch, he knew nothing but violence and defiantly no love. Meeting Catriona I see him finding love in his life again, and he deserves it. This story has a lot of action, romance, drama, and suspense, it is the perfect combination. I really can’t wait to see what happens with the next brother Sam since that epilogue had me on the hook!

Book 5
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!

Book 6
Excellent ending to the Dark Sparrow series. I was happy to finally get to see what was going on with Lazarus and to see if he would get his own happily ever after. As with the first five books in the series, this author really has a way with getting you hooked. Sasha is such a strong and independent woman, and she seems like just the right type of woman that Lazarus would need by his side. The trauma she has to go through while being held captive and then fighting Jamison alongside everyone else makes her truly awesome to me. Lazarus, like all his brothers before, acts like Sasha needs protected and can’t defend herself, and I know it is all for fear of losing her, but we know she is a total baddie and could handle anything that is thrown at her. I wish the ending was a little more dramatic, but I was very satisfied especially with the epilogue.

This is a great box set that I enjoyed each book. This is the Dark Sparrow collection of six books. They are by an author that has great writing skills and her attention to details make her stories pop. This is a collection of six men who are related as brothers and bound by blood. Add six females who have secrets of their own. Plus a dangerous father who is out to get everyone. This set is full of romance and suspense. They are each unique but link each book to the next. They are fast paced, engaging and hard to put down. This is a set you don’t want to miss out on. This is a great set that won’t let you down and will tick all your boxes. I highly recommend this box set and this author.

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 3) by India Kells – Review by Brittany Carlin

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance, #3)The Fighter by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fun, sexy, quick. Nope, I was not explaining my night. I was explaining this romance cook! I definitely recommend it for someone who wants to read something a little spicy, that is a pretty quick read, because I got hooked right in. Immediately I was drawn to the cover. Simply enticing.

This story surrounds Juliet, Ten and Gage. Juliet and Ten are best friends trying to :”live it up”. Ten tries out underground fighting, hence the title. This is where Gage comes in the picture. Every girl wants a bad boy, right? Which one will Juliet possibly choose? Or will she choose both? 😉

Promising sexual tension for your imaginary mind.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5/5 stars.

A wonderful conclusion to a gripping and erotic trilogy. These books should be read in order as they build upon one another.

As with the other two books in the series there is graphic details of MM intimacy, as well as threesome scenes. The passion between the characters was well done without being over the top, excessive, or unbelievable (except for one scene where I can get the positioning right in my head and it’s making me go “how?!”). Spice: 🌶🌶🌶

I enjoyed revisiting Gage and how he is doing. We see him coming to the rescue for Ten, a paramedic trainee, and Juliet, a nurse. We see Gage opening himself to his feelings and finally finding his HEA, while Juliet and Ten are able to explore their feelings for one another after years of tension from being best friends.

I enjoyed reading about Juliet, who despite being down on her luck, isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and fight for the things she wants. She’s also a helper, so we get to see more outside people than we did in the other books.

I think i liked this novel the best of the three because there are more twists and turns. The ending subplot blew my mind, and was oh so satisfying. I also liked getting that last glimpse of the friendship between Gage, Knox, and Locke, and the lovely people in their life.

TW: human trafficking, explicit descriptions of illegal fighting, mafia world undertones, death

The TraitorThe Traitor by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great second installment in the series. FMM romance lovers rejoice.

4.5/5 stars rounded up.

The second book, of three, in a series. I wouldn’t recommend reading these books out of order because they’re on a continuous timeline and this book refers to the book before which could spoil major things.

This novel does have frequent talk and scenes of male bisexuality and FMM romance so if you enjoy that or want to get a taste of it this book/series is for you! Spice: 🌶🌶🌶 (and believable too!)

I have a love dislike relationship with Knox. I loved many aspects about him but I disliked some of the decision he made and how he seemed to make his life harder, not better, at times. I understood the decisions but I was happy to see his character growth by the end. And let’s face it, the author wrote him well to give us the drama to keep us engaged and reading until the conclusion.

I liked a lot about Josie but I found her stubbornness to be both endearing (I do love a strong independent woman) and frustrating as she was being strong about certain things for all the wrong reasons. I was glad when she came to this realization herself. I loved that she found her passion in cooking and baking and got to share that with Knox and Gage.

Here, we see Gage a year after the events of book 1 and we can already see him having grown from that experience. Sometimes it’s hard not to fall back on bad habits though.

Despite not always enjoying the personality traits or the character’s decisions at the time I thoroughly enjoyed the story and cannot wait to read book 3. Please do read and enjoy this series if you enjoy FMM romance, darker romances, and characters who grow and learn from their mistakes.

TW: talk of past human trafficking involvement, fighting, murder, domestic abuse, self-neglect

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance)The Debt Collector by India Kells
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonderful start to a FMM romance series. Darker romance vibes from this one.

4.5 Stars rounded up.

The first book in a set of three about three men who are trying to overcome their pasts and happen to find love along the way.

The stories in this series do include scenes of MMF romance with tons of heat, so if you like that then this series is for you!

Spice: 🌶🌶🌶 (and believable too!)

I really liked Tessa as a FMC. She’s a headstrong woman who has put herself through medical school and cares about helping others. The tension between her and Locke was there from the beginning and continued to build. I also love Gage, and his propensity to bring some lightness, laughter, and heat, to the page.

I also liked getting Locke, Gage, and Knox’s overall backstory and knowing how they became the men they are today.

The main storyline aside from the romance is Locke, Gage and Tessa working behind the scenes to bring down a human trafficking kingpin and save others. I enjoyed how well the author wrote this aspect, giving enough details to get the point across without taking away from the characters growth and personal relationship.

The writing was very well done and the storyline was fast paced. Highly recommend.

TW: kidnapping, human trafficking, violence, false imprisonment, fighting, and abuse

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a hot one to read! Much like the first book in the serious, it is a M/F/M story with lots of steaminess. However, you do not need to read the first one to read this one. It could be read as a standalone. Both Spencer and Josie bring their own stories to the table making the read enjoyable as you watch their worlds join in a passionate way with Gage. I would absolutely recommend reading this one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great read! I was hesitant at first given that it starts off with the doctor saving a girl from what seems to be an underground trafficking situation. However, the story takes off pretty quickly and doesn’t slow down. While there is plenty of spice happening there is also a deeper story to unravel. It may have been a short and quick read, but it was jam packed with intensity!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third inatallment in this series, and boy was it filled with suspense, action, romance, and so much more. The characters were not only enthralling, but they were sweet, romantic, mysterious and so much more. There were a few times that our authors words are so perfect they feel like they could pull you right into the story. So while this is the third istallment in the series it could be read as a stand alone so definitely pick this one up today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really good read! This story was sexy, steamy, and very well written. The plot was great, and the characters just came to life on the pages. While I also found this one predictable, it still grabbed me and kept me interested enough to keep reading. This book was short, which I enjoyed because it made it a quick read, and still packed full of enough interesting content without skipping on the details. This has been a great series and I have highly enjoyed reading them.

This is the second installment in this series, and it was even better then the first. While both of these books can be read as stand alones, their both good so i would definitely recommend reading both if you get the chance. The characters in this one are fantastic, the plot has enough action to really make your mind think, and the overall story as great. The main characters were my favorite they were funny, sweet, romantic and so much more. So if your looking for a short adventurous read pick this one up today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a decent read. It wasn’t my favorite I’ve ever read, but it wasn’t bad either. This is part of a series but can be read a standalone. I did like this book, but I guessed what would happen at the get go, so it kind of lost my attention while I was reading. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline however, and it was well written. It had great character development and because of the main female character, Josie, it was decently emotional as well. It was also a quick read, which I enjoyed. Overall I did enjoy it and will definitely look forward to more books from this author in the future.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the first that i have read from this author and while I was highly intrigued it did leave me wanting just a little bit more background and character development. Tessa is our main character and I really loved her but I would have loved her even more with just a little more back story. However there is plenty of action and suspense to keep the readers on their toes. So all in all this was a pretty good read and it would be a great choice to get out of a reading slump.
