I am such a fan of India Kells that I always jump at the chance to read her work, and this book is a great reason why! This book is dark, twisted, steamy, intense, action-packed and romantic all at the same time. Everything I love in a romance read!
Right from the get-go I was hooked, this storyline captivated me and had me on my toes the whole way through. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone looking for their next steamy romance read!
The Debt Collector by India Kells was my first book by this author and Holy Hottness are the first words that come to mind to describe this book. If you’re looking for a fast-paced book that has equal parts of mystery and steamy dirty bedroom scenes then this is your book. Tessa an ER Doctor gets mixed up in a sex slave ring while helping a girl out of a bad situation. Locke is a man who is trying to take down the ring one girl at a time until Tessa might be the only one to help out.
Tessa and Locke have some chemistry just between them but when they add a sexy underground fighter who just happens to be Locke’s best friend and side lover; things start to get real for Locke. Locke is a man that is hard to love thru out this book, but you slowly warm up to him by the end. I’m begging that India will write a book just for Gage, I want more of the sexy fighter.

The Debt Collector is the first book in An Underground Bad Boys Romance Series by India Kells. I listen to this book on Audible. This is a fast paced book that was full of action and adventure. Dr. Tessa Freeman is a strong character that rolls with the punches. Locke is a mysterious man, who is in the right place at the right time. Then throw Gage into the mix and you have a recipe for a great romance. The chemistry in this book is off the charts. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Dan Price is a new narrator to me. His voice is mellow and easy to listen to. He really brought the characters to life. I look forward to listening to more books narrated by him.
The Debt Collector is An Underground Bad Boy Romance by India Kells is such an unexpected surprise story, it was awesome. I really like reading India’s stories, they are wonderfully written and this one is no different. There is lots of drama and danger, heartache and intrigue, suspense and pain, demons to be slain and pleasure and romance and boy oh boy does it sizzle. So much so that a cold shower will be on the agenda. I was so devoted to India’s written word that the world flew by as I became a part of the story and walked hand in hand with them. I devoured page after page and before I knew it, it was over and a couple of hours were behind me. These beautiful and complex characters are hopelessly flawed and and made my heart ache and felt their pain down to my soul.
I can’t wait to see what India comes up with for the rest of the series!

This was a fantastic read! I loved the characters, after Locke grew on me, but you’ll understand what i mean when you read it.
Tessa is helping those she can while on shift as a Dr. in the emergency room. But when one she helps gets her into trouble , she’s thrown for a loop as to who saves her. But no good deed is ever really free is it?
I cant wait to see if this gets more books as I need to know about not just Tessa and Locke, but others in this book as well. I was not ready for this to be over.
The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance) by India Kells
4 Stars!!!!
I will admit that this isn’t my go to genre but I do like to try out new types of books. I have to admit that I did find this book quite enjoyable. The author does a great job with handling the subject matter within the book. I found that I was quite drawn into this book as the drama unfolded in it.
The emotions that Tessa went through and the drama I felt as though I was going through it vicariously through the character. I found that I started to route for Locke the more the book progressed. Sometimes the bad boy isn’t such a bad boy at all and they are the ones that save the damsel in distress. I really found the author’s writing style and will definitely read more from her in the future.
The Debt Collector: An Underground Bad Boys Romance by India Kells hooked me from the very beginning and didn’t let go.
Dr. Tessa Freeman was fully expecting it to be a normal night at the ER but she was so wrong. Just one small moment ripples into something so much bigger and you have no idea what that moment means until much later.
Locke is mysterious and brooding and has to have everything in its place. But I think there is something in him that’s a lot deeper that we only caught a glimpse of.
Have my fingers crossed that this is just the beginning of a series, I want to see more of Tessa and Locke but also want to know more about Gage and his story.
The Debt Collector: An Underground Bad Boys Romance by India Kells is a breathtakingly erotic suspense that will literally leave you gasping for breath. I had to drag myself away to do really mundane tasks like bathroom breaks. Life got in the way, but it also slowed down the pleasurable experience somewhat, making way for the sensually slow and agonising burn.
Tessa and Locke. These two deserve many words, but very few come to mind to adequately describe the impact these two deliver. The story was brutally arousing, violent, shocking (in a bone melting way), decadent, honest, transparent while totally mysterious. The apparently unattainable becomes the hunted. The Locke and Tessa dance is intricate, complex and sometimes harrowing, but the experience is more than worth the tension. Then along comes Gage, and the surprises are relentlessly plentiful. I am addicted to this writing style and will devour ajy books written this way. It draws a reader in on a new level, and you will be left amazed, turned on and desperate for more. 5 stars
The Debt Collector is an Underground Bad Boys Romance by India Kells. I have read many of her stories and I thought I was ready for what she had in store for us but heck no! She took this one onto a completely different level!
The Debt Collector has so many layers, so much emotion, so much has been taken from the world around us … We have Dr Tessa Freeman who is not your average doctor, she is saving the girls who end up in her ER and have been escaping the slave ring … she does not think of her own life, it is her duty to help them and unfortunately no good deed goes unpunished … so she is taken to ‘work off the debt’ of the girls who are no longer there to ‘work’. She is saved by a mysterious Locke who she had treated when he came to the ER with some knife wounds … What does Locke want in return? How will he have her to ‘work off’ her debt to him?
I promise you will not regret picking up the Debt Collector, you will spend couple of very enjoyable hours with Tessa and Locke and …. Cage … the third party in this triangle/menage a trois … not a dull moment! But is this just a story filled with steamy scenes or is there more than what you see on the surface? Is there future for the three of them together or will someone be left behind? Pick up the copy and find out for yourself! I hope it is just the first in the series …. Is it a series … I am sure we will find out soon!
Holy hotness!! The Debt Collector by India Kells is a scorching hot read. The heat literally radiates off the page. I have previously read, and enjoyed, books by this author, so it was a no brainer that I was going to love this book too.
Dr Tessa Freeman is an ER doctor who helps women who have fallen into the sex slave trade escape from their ‘owners’. As a result of this she is captured by the leader of the slave trade business.
Locke is a sort of mercenary who is trying to bring the slave trade down by pretending to be part of it. When Tessa is captured, Locke does a deal to bring Tessa into his ‘ownership’
What follows is a very hot, steamy story where Tessa and Locke can’t help but submit to their attraction to one another. But this is no simple love story. Locke is also having a sexual relationship with his best friend Gage. Trying to fight his feelings for Tessa he pushes Gage and Tessa together and the 3 of them indulge in some rather steamy sex sessions. Sessions that will leave you very hot under the collar (and in other places too).
If you are very open minded and enjoy a good steamy read then this book is perfect for you.

This book is sizzling hot! The sexual encounters in this story will set you on fire. The chemistry between Locke, Tessa and Gage is incredible. Tessa is a strong, independent woman who manages to get herself in serious trouble. Locke succeeds in saving her but Tessa is now indebted to him and he always collects his debts. Locke is a very complex character. He is very serious and closed off with a touch of OCD. There are reasons for the way that he is. Gage is a monster of a man. He’s a giant sized muscled machine who cage fights for fun. He’s rough and tough but we find out his soft spot. I loved all the characters. Each one was unique and they complimented each other. There was drama and some action and many heated moments. There are scenes that are explicit therefore I would suggest a mature audience but it is so worth it. I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading more about these characters. Hoping the next book centres around Gage.
The Debt Collector was one part darkness, one part suspense, ten parts extreme heat! Yowza! I mean, you kind of could guess that from the cover. But basically, there’s Tessa, who gets herself in a sticky situation and has to work something out with Locke, who can be hard to read. Is he good? Can she trust him? Then there’s his friend. Oh and they are all so very friendly. I enjoyed this and appreciated how Tessa didn’t back down when it came to demanding to be treated well.
The Debt Collector was a great 5 star read and part of the Underground Bad Boys Romance.
Tessa is an Emergency room doctor who also helps girls that come in and are clearly involved in slavery. One evening she meets a mysterious man that she is completely drawn to, but she doesn’t learn his real name before he leaves.
Circumstances and fate bring these two back together again when Tessa is taken by the slave ring men. Locke is shocked to see the woman he met at the hospital. Determined to help her he makes a deal to buy her. Once he has Tessa safely in his home, he suggests a deal that will keep her safe.
Will Tessa be able to keep her heart out of it? What will happen if she discovers Locke’s secrets?
All I can say is WOW, what a heck of a read. The secondary characters were great, I have to say my favorite was Gage, Locke’s friend who is a hot as heck cage fighter. Tessa was a strong and determined woman who fights for what she believes in. If you’re looking for a great thrilling read with some hot and steamy moments, this is the book for you.
Ohhhhh India Kells this corrupted my mind so good! I absolutely had to one-click this novel like I do with just about every India Kells novels. This one was a tad more steamy than I am used to seeing from her and I loved it, every wanton moment. Now keeping in mind that I have mentioned this is a bit of a steamy read be smart and don’t pick it up if that isn’t your thing, although I do think you would be missing out on quite the read, especially if you are a fan of India Kells of novels.
There is a lot going on in this book, but it is done flawlessly and not too overwhelming, I was able to read it in one sitting. Tessa finds herself in a slave ring. Everyone’s worst nightmare. The man who saves her, Locke has a proposal, one that is something she would never have expected to find herself involved in either. Oh and then there is Locke’s best friend Gage. These three have some intricate personalities that work together a lot like poetry. Which for me is what makes a novel like this work so well. For all the other juicy details run and one-click right now.
The Debt Collector is part of The Underground Bad Boys series. It can be read as a standalone. There is one part of the story involving Gage that is left open, probably to be explored further in another book.
I read this book in just a few hours because it kept me hooked so I couldn’t put it down. The interactions between Locke and Gage…wow…I thought my Kindle was going to catch fire, lol! Definitely not a book for anyone under the age of 18.
The author has done a wonderful job of creating complex characters with interesting personal histories. Although I was actually more entertained by the dynamic between Locke and Gage, the Tessa character definitely bridged between them well by adding a compassionate strength to offset their physical presence.
Hot! Hot! Hot!
