This book wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. It had more suspense and a little bit of drama that I didn’t anticipate. I enjoyed that a lot.
The characters are well written, and I can’t wait to see where this story is going to go. I was able to listen to it all at one time and I was thankful for that because I didn’t have to remember what part of the suspense/drama I left off with.
This is a first time read (listen) from this author and I will have to check out her other work.
If you like some suspense and some steamy scenes, this book is for you!
I listened to the audio book.
Tessa, an ER doctor, meets a mysterious stranger during a shift. He piqued her interest and desire like she hadn’t experienced in her life. After saving Amber, a young woman who escaped a sex trafficking ring, she’s kidnapped and threatened to return her.
Locke arrives to purchase Amber when he sees Tessa. He convinces Luhther to allow him to lease her. Only trusting his best friend and occasional lover, Gage, Locke fights his attraction to Tessa.
This book was AMAZING!! I was so into the story that when Gage entered the scene, I had to pause and listen again to make sure I heard it right. This is a hot, steamy, and definitely NSFW story. The narration threw me off a little in the beginning as it is from Tessa’s POV, but later makes sense once the POV changes. I will say I wish parts of Tessa’s POV were a feminine voice. Some of the steamy scenes were slightly odd with a male voice.
You cannot help but get divulged in a book like this. The whole thing has your heart racing chapter after chapter! I’m sorry to get so excited but this doctor is a true heroine! She is that one you get caught up in and knows she’s the “it” (excuse my French) and for a great cause but this book goes deeper!
As the doctor means well to save the girls, she’s caught up in a trap of manipulation at every turn: She knows better with all her fancy education but lust keeps screaming her name and her body is betraying her mind. The truth is behind the savagery she has to go through for answers. Is she really ready to risk it all? The choice is up to the doctor and her quest for answers.
This book is filled with everything I love: A mystery, sexual chemistry, lust, desire, and suspense. I was all in reading this one! I couldn’t help it — I highly recommend it as India Kells is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Anything I see with her name, I can’t put down and this book was absolutely no exception. So, pick up your copy and you won’t be disappointed.
The Debt Collector is the first book I have read by India Kells, but it definitely will not be the last. This book has all the steam you could want, add in two sexy, alpha’s and a hot, sexy ER doctor, and you have yourself the main characters of this story, and you have probably found two new book boyfriends. Tessa and Locke meet in the ER, and there is an instant attraction/chemistry with them. She is attracted to his sea green eyes. There is a story line or maybe even two, but there is also a lot of steamy sex – and you never know who it will be between -M/F, M/M, or MMF, the possibilities are all there, and they all work. I really couldn’t decide who I should root for more – Gage or Locke. Gage because he is in the moment, Locke – has lots of potential but tries to not become emotionally involved, but there is something about Tessa that draws him in and makes him feel things he does not want to feel or admit to. OMG the ending and how Locke and Tessa are – AMAZING! If you are looking for a book to steam up you and your kindle – this is the book for you. Your panties will be melting and you will be turning the pages until you are done, and then you will want more! I’m personally hoping for another book about Gage, but I would not mind reading more about Locke and Tessa either.
WOW!! WHAT A HOT STEAMY READ!! THE DEBT COLLECTOR by India Wells Blew Me Away!! The Chemistry between the two characters were Off the Charts HOT and will melt your panties right off!! It Was Not What I Expected but Loved Every Minute of the Ride!!
A love triangle, that kind of wasn’t. There was danger lurking, but in safety. The sexual energy was sharp, but they didn’t give in, not completely. I went in blind, and was taken for a ride that had my eyes glued to the screen.
The Debt Collector is a smoking hot read. This book is an easy read and hard to put down. This book is dripping hot with pent up sexual energy between Tessa and Locke. Locke tries to keep himself away from Tessa in fear of harming her. Instead he hurts her more by words then from his actions. After Gage gets done giving Locke one hell an ass beating. Locke realizes that just maybe there is more between Tessa and him. The only way to find out is to bare the beast from the deepest, darkest recesses of his brain. Will these two be able to be able to make it. By bringing out the best of each other in the unlikilest of places.
Sexy, steamy and a twist. Loved it. Tessa finds herself in trouble in the form of owing a debt to Locke. Love how Tessa affects Locke and brings him around. Great story.
