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.

India Kells’s Dark Sparrow Box Set: The Complete 6-Book Series (A Dark Sparrow Novel) is a steamy and action-packed ride! I greatly enjoyed reading about the Bastard Brothers and their lady loves. Each book is well written with well-written, complex characters that make you want to cheer and scream. I absolutely adored the way the brothers all reluctantly come together. The fellas are awesome and the Dark Sparrows even more so. I love the way that they realize they are stronger together. If you love action with a healthy dose of sizzle, this is a great series for you. I look forward to reading more from this author.

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.

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!

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!

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.

I have read numerous books by India Kells and all of them have been AMAZING reads! When I saw that she was releasing a 6-book box set, I knew that I was going to read it! The best part about this box set is that each book revolves around a powerful couple. The way that the author writes these stories, it makes me feel as though I am in the middle of the action with them and not just a reader. If you are in need of a great series that has lots of great stories that you can binge read then this is the series for you! I found myself waking up at 3:30AM to keep reading as I could not put it down! You will fall in love with this series too! I cannot wait to tell my friends about this great box set!

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.

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Coyote’s Road Trip is a fantastic read. It’s entertaining and we get to see a coyote shapeshifter.
Jim is our coyote shifter in the story. His neighbors commit suicide and he does a goodbye for them. Now he’s stuck with two ghosts and traveling. He doesn’t know exactly where he’s going, but it’s got to be better than where he’s coming from. The quote I chose for Jim is: “Not around here.” I tried another sip and made another face. “Look, people believe all kinds of crap. I just know that most of its BS. Nature spirits are real. There used to be water spirits around before so many of the marshes dried up. Stars are just stars but there’s something holy about them too. Bones. Mountains. I don’t understand all this religious stuff either. How do you expect me to have all the answers? You’re ghosts. That hasn’t given you any great insights, has it?”

From beginning to end this story is beautiful. Although this is a story about Coyote, the shape shifter spirit…. this story is so human. The story takes place in a dystopian world affected by climate change and follows Coyote as he leaves everything behind to take a soul searching journey, or a walkabout as I like to call it. Along his journey we meet different characters and hear their stories, and although they don’t stick around for long they leave a lasting impression. The author has managed to tell a riveting story that makes magic feel like it’s real and made Coyote feel so relatable. He is funny and complex and unpredictable. I truly enjoyed Coyote. Like I really want to gush about him because of how well written his character was. This is a rare talent in authors and I really fell in love with him. Did I say this story was beautiful? This was a quick read, and it pulls you in from the start to finish. This is a 5 star book for me.

This novel was enjoyable. It was fun taking the journey with Coyote Jim as he traveled across the country trying to reconnect with himself and with humanity it. The author built a very interesting world and I found myself wanting more. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Coyote Jim is indeed an interesting character. I’m not sure if I’ve read a book like this before, so it took me a moment to get in the groove of reading it. His journey is in the title. He leaves his home to go on a road trip to see where to go and belong in the world. He starts out with familiar spirits that tag along with him and meets others on the way. For a spirit person, I give him credit for what he’s experienced and how he lives in the modern world. If you like Dystopian spirit books, give this one a go.

This was a very good shorter paranormal story. I normally enjoy paranormal and dystopian books but I was skeptical about this one. The idea seemed odd. But I was pleasantly surprised. I really took a liking to Coyote Jim from the beginning. He’s trying to find his purpose in life and we get to go along on his journey while things aren’t great in the world. We meet some interesting characters along the way as well. Overall I think this is a really good book.

Blood Oath by Amy McKinley is the second book in the Mafia Elite Series. The main characters are Sofia and Enzo. They have always been drawn to each other even when they were kids. Enzo and Sofia struggled in life with the crazy mafia looking for Sofia and Enzo trying his best to keep her safe. Amy Mckinley did a fantastic job once again with the series of the mafia elite. It’s crazy how she can picture these two characters chasing each other.

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.

The Vardoger Boy is the second book in The Forerunner Series. There’s a summary of the previous book at the start, but it is best enjoyed after reading Thorfinn and the Witch’s Curse.
This is an exciting story with fantasy elements set in the UK during Viking times. Having lived near York/Jorvik, I enjoyed recognising familiar sites and landmarks! There’s plenty of historical detail and the author really brings the world to life with multisensory descriptions. It really captured my imagination!
I particularly liked the depictions of women. There are shieldmaidens, who are as at home on the battlefield as male warriors. But there are also women who prefer working with needles than swords who prove ready to fight when the need arises. Kara is a wonderful character, and it’s particularly interesting seeing her grow in understanding as she sees a new side of the women in her life.
I would recommend this series to readers who enjoy historical fantasy, especially those interested in Vikings and Norse mythology! It gets five stars from me, and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this historical cozy mystery, which had me hooked from page one. Set in 1862, our heroine, Alyssa Chalmers is one of a group of Victorian emigrants, who have arrived in British Columbia, having traveled by boat from Australia, to be brides. However, Alyssa is a very reluctant bride, but luckily she is a rather good intrepid sleuth, who all her friends turn to when there is a murder. The victim is the hotel owner in the prospectors’ town “Run’s End”, and along with the dead body, the gold which is stored there is also found to have something wrong with it. All the brides turn to Alyssa to find the murderer. However, the killer is both desperate and cunning and the epidemic outbreak complicates things further. The storyline had me gripped and the plot twists and turns kept me guessing until the last page. The characters are all wonderfully detailed, but Alyssa is particularly likeable and relatable and I was so engaged with her, that I felt I was solving the case alongside her. The descriptive narrative along with the added historical details bring both the setting and the era vividly to life. I could not put this book down, and I look forward to future books in this series, and I particularly look forward to meeting Alyssa Chalmers again!

This was a very fun tale. 4 friends and their tales. All showing how similar but also how very different these friendships are. Friendship and adventure lead through each tale, as well as the strength of each individual. This was an interesting read and I love anything Greek Mythology. The road it takes you down is one of fairy tale and myth all in one. I would read this and other tales again.

This is a great romance story that has a fantasy element interwoven throughout. I though this was a well written book that pulls you into the lives of the characters. I enjoyed the multiple points of view that you get to experience this book through, and the different aspects that brings to the story. This is still a relatively new author to me but the more of her work I read the more I am enjoying of it. I thought this was a strong start to a new series and I am looking forward to whatever is to come next.

Romance under Aquarius: Stargazing Series #1 by Danielle Jacks
This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. Romance under Aquarius is a fantastic read and will leave you wanting more. This is the first book in the Stargazing Series. There were four main characters, but two that stuck out the most.
Maris is a merperson and can’t wait to get married. Her best friend is concerned about her doing an arranged marriage, but it’s what her family had planned for her. She then catches her best friend and future husband in bed together. The quote I chose for Maris is: “Don’t feel bad for me. Ryn seems like a nice merman.”
Kasper will do anything to save his brother. Including finding a merperson to help him out. He doesn’t want to trust her, but it becomes inevitable once he gets to know her. He wants to pursue a relationship with her, but isn’t sure where to start. The quote I chose for Kasper is: “Fine. Yes. I’m jealous . Are you happy now?”
