A Dark Sparrow Box Set – Books 1-3
By India Kells
5 stars
This was an AMAZING box set!! I absolutely loved everything about it! The authors writing was phenomenal and each story was a 5 star read for me! The box set included Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard and Wild Bastard – these are the first three books in the Dark Sparrow series and are well worth a read! The series features 6 brothers and if the first three are anything to go by I cannot wait to meet the next three! It’s difficult to choose a favourite book from this box set as each brother has their own story to tell but if I really had to choose one then I think probably Cold Bastard – there was just something about this story which really pulled me in – it was a little more complex than the other two so I think I was really invested in what was happening and had to work a little harder to fully get to know the characters!
This really is an amazing box set that I 100% recommend! I am really looking forward to more to come from this series!
Kells is a mastermind of the romantic suspense genre. This box set is absolutely a must read and must buy. Each book stands solidly on its own but once you read one you will absolutely want to read the rest. I loved each book and love that they are available together now. I absolutely recommend this set and this author. Five stars!
A Dark Sparrow Box Set by India Kells consists of the three books in this series: Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard, and Wild Bastard. This is a really good series that I enjoyed. Cold Bastard by India Kells is the second book in the Dark Sparrow series. I was really looking forward to reading this after reading the first book and I was not disappointed. The story is about Zoe Somersby and Archer Blackwood. Zoe had been brought in to work for Archer as an undercover agent.
The characters are well written and allowed the story to flow. There was lots of suspense and mystery as well as a little romance. I really like this is a well thought out story and the characters are interesting people. Everyone is not always what one would assume. I look forward to reading the next book in the series to see where the story goes next.
Wild Bastard by India Kells is the third book in A Dark Sparrow series. This tells the story of Kai and Isabel. Kai is trying to take down his father’s business and in the process runs into his past. Isabel after breaking his heart in the past has become a strong woman who has a life and secrets of her own. Will the two find their happily ever after?
Like the other books in the series, this can be read as a standalone. I have enjoyed not only this one but the others as well. Characters overlap and it is nice to get Kai’s story. I enjoyed the characters and wanted to see everything work out for them. The problems they encounter are crazy at times but seem to bring them closer and in a better understanding of one another. I enjoyed this book and look forward to others from this author.
The Dark Sparrow Box Set contains books 1-3 in the thrilling Dark Sparrow Series by India Kells. It contains the 3 full length novels Lost Bastard, Cold Bastard and Wild Bastard. India Kells is an author I’ve come to love over the last 18 months and these 3 books are a fantastic example of how great an author she is.
The Dark Sparrow series is centred around 6 brothers. They are all the bastard sons of their evil father and have joined forces to bring him down. Each book gives us the story of one brother and the woman who has captured his heart. These 3 books contain Alexsei, Archer and Kai.
You could technically read each of these books as a standalone but as it’s such an amazing series I’d definitely recommend reading them all, starting with these 3.
If you love a great romance story which is filled with drama and suspense then this is definitely the series for you. India Kells sure knows how to write a fantastic story that will take you on an amazing roller coaster of a journey. Added to that is her skill of writing amazing characters who really draw you into their stories and make you want more. I promise that you will absolutely love Alexsei, Archer and Kai.
As there are 6 brothers I’m kind of assuming that we are going to get another 3 fabulous books to add to this series. I’m praying that is the case as this is a series I could read over and over and still love it every time.
I have loved this series from the first book I picked up. I was excited to see that the first three books in this series is in one box set. Each book is about a different brother, one is rich, one is a beach bum and the other is an orphan. They are hot, sexy men that will take you on a journey of secrets, romance and even some action. They all had me turning pages fast and left me wanting more. If there is anyone boxset that you must read, it is this one! I highly recommend picking up this one.
A Dark Sparrow Box Set – Books 1-3 (Dark Sparrow Series) by India Kells is a great series you want to get your hands on.
Book 1 Brilliant! Deva is forced to return to a life she left leave behind but it is only temporary, or so she tries to tell herself but she finds herself falling in love with a man who would be her downfall. His world is not a world she wants to be in.
Aleksei is a MMA fighter with ties to the Russian Bratva and a dark, dark world. Aleksei’s fathers is an evil man and he has just discovered that there are others that hate the man as much as he does.
I’m not going to give the plot away, but I will say this was a superbly written story, a gripping page-turner, with a good helping of grit, angst and smouldering scenes. A fabulous read for those who love the genre and I will very much look forward to reading more.
Cold Bastard (Dark Sparrow Novel Book 2) is a real page turner and the chaos start from the very beginning. We are thrown into a world where power and money mean more than blood. Where a monster will get what he wants and doesn’t care who or what he destroys to get there. The mystery and intrigue will keep you on the edge of your seat and with all the twists and turns you don’t see what’s coming.
What would you do to keep all those you love safe?
Wild Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel Book 3) is another gripping tale in this series and about second chances. India’s stories are cleverly woven together and are definite page turners and she has never let me down. I know I am in great hands when I pick up one of her explosive stories. I was on the edge of my seat and I was unable to put it down as I had to know what was coming. The story complex and multi layered and is full of action and danger, intrigue and suspense, secrets and lies and so much more and sizzling, sexy and hot, hot, hot.
Isabelle is introduced to the Bastards and chosen for her particular ability, to help them bring down a monster. What she did not expect was a part of her past to show and have all her secrets revealed.
Kai is torn between bringing down the man who destroys everything, to the one woman who can bring him to his knees.
India has lead us through a world where suspense and danger are the name of the game. Where secrets and lies could ruin it all. Where monsters lurk and cause havoc. Where love is is found in the unlikely of circumstances.
This is a must to be on your TBR list. I know you will love them as much as I did. I am waiting to see what comes next.
3 Brothers doing everything possible to take gotten their corrupt father meet the 3 women who are brought in to help them achieve their life long dream. These characters come to life in these 3 books. Alpha males and the fiercely independent women who challenge them.
I cannot praise India Kells enough. I have not been a fan of MC books, but I devoured your series. Steamy, suspenseful and has you dying for more.
Wow! I haven’t been this impressed in a really long time! A Dark Sparrow Boxed set is Books 1-3 in the series and written by India Kells. Book 1 is Lost Bastard and it was the book to suck me in to the rest of them. The whole series is about half-brothers getting together to take out their father. Their father is targeting them individually and coincidentally the women they fall for. Everyone is tied up with their father somehow. With the help of a company called Purgatory, their mission to take down their father is top one priority. Book 2 is Cold Bastard is a continuation of the first book but with a different brother. The same goes for Book 3, which is called Wild Bastard. My suggestion is to read this series in order because you won’t be able to understand what is going on and why the characters are the way that they are. The common denominator to the series is that these are very strong successful men who happen to be brothers and sons to a very cruel man. Also, there are very strong, beautiful and extremely smart females who are enlisted to help. There are so many twist and turns to complete this storyline. The sexy scenes are seriously hot! A definite page-turner that has you constantly wondering what is going to happen next! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
When the call comes what will you do????
This series follows a group of people who need to take down a powerful man but will they be able to find out what his overall goal will be and stop him before that happens. Follow the three books in this brilliant series.
Lost Bastard – Dark Sparrow book 1.
This story follows the lives of Aleksei and Deva and what they have to overcome to try and stop the man who is Aleksei’s so called father. As the story twists and turns you get to see the secrets which they have both kept hidden for so long.
Will they be able to come together in a happily ever after or will Finch succeed in ruining everything for them.
Cold Bastard – Dark Sparrow book 2.
The story weaves together Zoe and Archer. Archer is another one of Finch’s illegitimate sons but as he is unaware of this in the beginning as the story goes through you get to see the love building between Zoe and himself, but will a secret Zoe has been holding on to ruin the relationship before it gets going.
Will Finch get his way and ruin one of his sons forever.
Wild Bastard – Dark Sparrow book 3.
When a blast from Kai’s past comes to help the gang try and get to the bottom at what Finch is doing, will he be able to overcome the heartache to help Isabel and the task in hand bringing down his father from his glass tower.
I love this series and can’t wait to read the next book in this brilliantly constructed stories which you can’t put down once you get started on them. I recommend although they can be read as individual stories I would read them in order as there is a story arc running through them.
Lost Bastard – Deva & Aleksei
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.
Cold Bastard – Zoe & Archer
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.
Wild Bastard – Isabel & Kai
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.
5/5 Stars
A Dark Sparrow Box Set (Books 1-3) by India Kells
Lost Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #1)
This is the first book in A Dark Sparrow Series. This is the first book I’ve read by the author, but it won’t be my last. Kells has really done a great job writing this.
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…”
Cold Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #2)
This is the second book of A Dark Sparrow Novels. As the second book I’ve read by the author I can say I’ve enjoyed it. Kells knows how to capture a reader’s attention.
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.”
Wild Bastard (A Dark Sparrow Novel #3)
The third book in A Dark Sparrow Novels. Kells has really upped her game from the first two books. Lazarus is at it again with helping one of the many half brothers and Kells captures it perfectly.
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?”
This was one amazing box set. Dark romantic suspense lovers these are your books!

This is a great book set. You get the first three books detailing a group of half brothers the attempting to bring their evil sperm donor to justice. First is Aleksei Voronov a Russian cage fighter. Second is Archer Blackwell an English Businessman. Third is Kia Jones an Hawaiian former Delta Forces. They are led by Lazarus King and English former MI6 Agent.
