Another great read by India Kells. The dynamic between the characters is sexy, flawed and keeps you guessing. The underlying suspense plot is well done with enough action to keep you turning the pages. The real action is in the bedroom, where you never know what will happen or indeed with whom.
‘ve never read anything by India Kells before, but my oh my, do I have a few new books on my TBR list! Locke and Tessa’s story was well written, twisty, had great characters, and crazy chemistry. This was a surprisingly layered story, a page turner that held your attention from start to finish. In this book you are introduced to characters that you’ll want to know more about in future books. Great read!
Tessa works as an ER doctor helping those that she can until one night she finds herself a victim of her own making and is sold to her last patient. Unable to escape and unable to deny her feelings, Tessa find herself drawn to the mysterious Locke. Locke is more than meets to eye, but is he Tessa’s savior or just another captor? An unexpected love story in the midst of this battle of wills. A unique read with a dirty mix of MMF, this book is more than meets the eye.
This book starts with Tessa who is an overworked ER doctor. She meets an injured and mysterious man whom she treats at the ER. On the same night she meets Allison who is badly beaten and afraid ; she has escaped a sex trade ring. Tessa and her colleagues assist in getting her to a safe place.
Luther is upset with Tessa and captures her to find Allison. Tessa is shocked when she meets the man she treats , Locke, who rescues her and buys her freedom. They work together to break up the sex ring.
The main gist of the story is a lot of sexy scenes. M/M, M/F, M/M/F. Some plot but a lot of steam that could melt the e reader.
Some insight into the characters with the dual POV.
I am volunteering to leave a review for this book.
This is not my usual read but I did enjoyed it. I would definitely read more from this author.
A very sexually charged read with lots of hot and sexy moments. Great characters, flowing story line, action, drama and masterly crafted words that keep your interest piqued from start to finish is why everyone should be reading this book. This is the first time I have read this author and it definitely won’t be the last!!
This book had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning. I could not put this book down. Great everything.
This book was hot. The scences were hot and steamy. Tessa and Locke have great chemistry then add Gage. Yum.
Wow!! This book was amazing!!! Tessa is a doctor that helps girls get away from a situation that is underhanded and wrong. Tessa helped out a girl named Allison. Which put her in harms way. Tessa is kidnap and Locke finds her in a warehouse that he thought would have had Allison. Locke strikes a deal with Luther and takes Tessa off Luther’s hands. Locke needs to explain to Tessa what the underworld is like and her position can still be in harms way. Locke and his buddy Gage try to keep Tessa safe but find her very attractive. So there are deals being made and feelings involved. What will happen? Will Locke be able to take down Luther and keep Tessa safe? Need to read.
Wish there was more about Tessa and Locke rescuing the girls. And more about how Tessa and Locke got involved rescuing girls, it said why Locke did but not Tessa. Didn’t like some things.
I give this book 3.5 stars. Tessa has a heart of gold. Always willing to help someone, even if it means never taking a break. Helping a young girl gets Tessa kidnapped. Although, I know she would do it a million times over. Locke is determined to save the young girls being sold. He likes to be in control and hide his emotions to the core.
It had a lot of potential and a great story line. I feel like parts were missing. I also feel like I need to know more about Gage.
Great book by a new to me author, I can see myself hunting down her entire back catalogue if there are more like this! Really steamy, Tessa meets Locke through her work and there is an instant spark, but not enough time to act on it. Fortunately for Tessa, they meet again soon after. This book has action and suspense and includes some outside suspense as well. Gage’s introduction is explosive. The chemistry between these three is amazing and will have you burning through the pages, its definitely a ‘just one more chapter’ kind of book.
This story was the first I read by this author and it didn’t disappoint. Tessa deserves a lot of credit for holding her own even when the odds we against her, Locke was a little harder to pin down and Gage I am hoping to read more about. Tessa is fighting to save young girls that show up in her ER but someone has figured her out and she is now in their place and when a patient leases her from her captors she has gone from the frying pan into the fire. I will definitely keep an eye out for this author’s work as she doesn’t disappoint and keeps you guessing.
This was a pretty good book. Tess is a ER Physician and takes care of a mysterious handsome man with a bad case of OCD and gorgeous green eyes. She also encounters a young underage girl beaten and scared out of her mind. She tells Tess she has been sold and had gotten away but was scared they would find her. Tess has a Dr friend who along with his ex cop turned social worker partner help out young girls in trouble. Tess is then kidnapped by the group in retaliation. She is then leased from him by none other than the OCD man. His name is Locke. Is he good, is he bad, Tess is in a mess. Locke has a bff with benefits named Gage and there is lots of MMF action.
This had a good storyline and was okay but I felt it could have had a little more danger and suspense in it so I gave it 4 stars.
The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 1) by India Kells is a five star novel. I love when an author is so descriptive with their words that it makes you feel like you are a part of the book and actually there with the characters. That’s how this novel is. The author has painted beautiful scenes of hot, steamy romance. But apart from that, there is a whole other part of the story where Tessa gets kidnapped for helping girls from a slave ring in her emergency room. But then Locke comes along and rescues her. Will he be able to keep her out of harms way or will she need to continue to be frightened of what might be around the other corner.
The Debt Collector is the first novel in the Underground Bad Boys series by India Kells. This is my fourth novel by this author.
Doctor Tessa Freeman is thrown in a dangerous situation when she helps girls in the ER and finds herself in the slave ring.
Locke is a mysterious man that helps her.
Though he is distant, there is also an attraction the two and the deal that he comes up with as payment surprises Tessa. Locke brings in his best friend Gabe as part of the deal and things get more intense for Tessa.
I really enjoyed the premise and the characters especially the relationship between Tessa and Locke. Locke has some secrets and felt something more for Tessa and only wanted to protect her while protecting his own heart.
For anyone looking for steamy scenes with a twist, I recommend.
The Debt Collector (book 1) is a thrilling adventure of romance. It is a book that I would Highly recommend reading. It is an addictive book that will keep you wanting to read more and not put the book down. I would even re read it thats how great this book is. It is worth far more then five stars.

She is always ready to help regardless of how much danger her patient is in. She has been able to help girls that have found themselves in a dangerous situation and has been able to keep them safe.

Will Tessa be able to agree to the terms Locke presents to her in exchange for her freedom in 6 months? This storyline captivates your attention from the moment you start reading. There are intense, hot scenes that included M/M and M/M/F. If you are sensitive to ménage a trois and male/male relations, this book is not for you. The suspense of the possible danger that Tessa is in and hot scenes, will leave you on the edge of your seat and also fanning yourself. I recommend this book and look forward to reading more books by India Kells.

The Debt Collector by India Kells was an intriguing book right from the start. I wasn’t sure how it was going to play out or even if it was going to be something I liked. From the beginning I was pretty hooked and I was able to finish rather quickly. There are a few things I was rather new to reading in this book. I haven’t read a lot of the ménage stuff and I tend to stay away from books with sex trafficking/ slave rings just because it tends to make me so mad I can’t concentrate on much else. However this book has that stuff but it’s done well enough that it added to the story. Overall the writing was great and I was into it the whole time. This is my first book by this author but won’t be my last. 5 star rating!
