This is a fast paced, sexy adventure. This story has several taboo subjects such as sex trafficking, male on male loving and even a little more in the sex department. This book should be read by people with open minds and those that are adults.
The Debt Collector has twists to keep you guessing, surprises to keep you reading and sexy scenes to keep you hot and bothered.
This is the first book I have read by India Kells and it won’t be the last. I really hope there are more stories by Kells about this group of characters as I found them funny, honest, and sexy. The story line was easy to read and follow, with just enough characters to keep the adventure going.
I recommend this book and am looking forward to discovering more from this author.
The Debt Collector, an Underground Bad Boys Romance, by India Kells is a story rife with chemistry, mystery, allure and more. India Kells delivers a cast of characters that are detailed original with heart-stopping qualities. The Debt Collector touches on topics that some wish to avoid, but the way the author handled them within this story was well thought out and not overly done to cause distaste within the story. Truly a great story by an author that can deliver again and again.
Romance. Suspense. Dang…the book left my head spinning. I was immediately drawn in by the detailed characters and storyline. And what an amazingly awesome ride it was… I was on the edge of my seat reading as fast as I could. Loved it and looking forward to reading more in this series and from this author.
The Debt Collector by India Kells. This was a great quick read, for me it was over pretty quick as the story pulled me in right away then you add Locke and Gages sexual exploits into the story along with Locke and Tessa’s. This story is a mixture of erotica, suspense and some romance to me. I liked Locke, he was a strong, dominating, alpha male but he still had the nice, caring side that came out on occasion. Tessa was a great character, she was a mixture of dominate and subordinate depending on what the situation called for. Overall the story was great, the imagry from the scenes was good a deal you wanted more the entire time.
it’s a bit messy and confused. lot of thinks don’t really make sense. some quiet good and really visuals hot scene .

This was a good well written steamy read and I really enjoyed it. The storyline is really and it had me hooked pretty quickly with lots of twists and turns you won’t want to put this book down. A really good read I look forward to reading more from India in the future

The Debt Collector is An Underground Bad Boy Romance by India Kells. OMG!! This Book was such an awesome read! Ms. Kells is one of my favourite authors, so when I saw this book it was an instant ‘one-click’, I didn’t even bother reading the blurb- so to say this book surprised me is a bit of an understatement! It wasn’t what I had been expecting- it was so much MORE! This has a ménage/threesome aspect to the story, which I don’t normally go out of my way to hunt down, not that I don’t like them- it’s just really hard to find a good one. This is one of the exceptions- wonderfully written, with sizzlingly HOT encounters, drama, danger, pleasure, pain, heartache, intrigue, suspense, and romance. I devoured it in a couple of hours, loving every minute and not wanting it to end. There is more to this story than just lust and the ménage- there is a ‘deeper’ story, with beautifully flawed characters fighting their demons and looking for some redemption. The characters really brought this story to life and gave it a believability.
One thing I have learned about Ms. Kells’ stories is that things are never simple, there are always layers and complexities to be revealed. And there is definitely a lot more to Locke (and Gage) than is first apparent. He is quite complex- with a back-story that made my heart ache for what he’d been through. I don’t want to say too much, and give anything away, because you really should read all the incredible details for yourself- you really won’t be disappointed!!
I can’t wait to read more of this series!
Thank you, Ms. Kells!
A fantastic erotic read with a ton of sexual tension and two fantastic book boyfriends to wet your panties over. Well written with lots of sexiness, the storyline and plot were executed well. By the end of it I wasn’t sure who I loved more, Gabe or Locke! Will definitely be looking out for more books from this author (especially if she writes one about GABE!)
Loved this!
This book is a really hot read, but the storyline, on a horrible and serious subject, is really well written too. The chemistry between Locke and Tessa is there from their first meeting. The OCD angle only added to the fabulous tension. When Gage comes onto the scene it’s time to get your fans out! Would have enjoyed a little more about the ‘take down’ of the villian (just so I could actually see he got everything the piece of slime deserved). Great ending too. Overall a fast and easy read that keeps you on the edge of your seat and wiping your brow throughout!
Tess is an ER doctor who has been helping girls that have been beaten by an underground slave ring. She gets captured by the ring and is then rescued by debt collector Locke. Only he has his own twisted plans for her! Great book that I would definitely recommend!

I loved this book. This story as a little bit of everything from romance, to suspense, to hot steamy erotica. Tess is a doctor that has been helping girls that have been enslaved by the Underground Cage fighting. What will happen when she is captured and then rescued by a debt collector? How much is she willing to risk? The characters are connectable and hot, sexy that pull you into their world of twists and turns that I couldn’t put down until the end. This is a must read book!
The Debt Collector: An Underground Bad Boys Romance
By: India Kells
5 out of 5 stars
The story The Debt Collector: An Underground Bad Boys Romance by India Kells is a book that I loved reading. It is a story with steamy scenes that will make the temperature in the room rise and you will be reaching for a cold glass of water. I loved reading about the characters of Dr. Tessa Freeman and Locke. Tessa is a woman who is caring and has a large heart. When a patient comes in and needs help she will provide it, even if it means that she may be in danger. Tessa has found herself taken by a slave ring after she helps some girls in the ER where she works. Locke is the man that rescues Tessa. He also is both mysterious and distant. He has offered Tessa a deal to keep her safe from the slave ring. The terms of that deal are not what Tessa would have ever expected. These two are both attracted to each other. There is electricity when they are together and the lust they feel for each other is very evident. Add in Locke’s best friend Gage, and there is enough heat to burn the building they are in down to the ground. Is lust all that Tessa feels? Will she find out the secrets that Locke keeps? What does the future hold? Will Tessa finally no longer have to worry about the slave ring? Read this book to find out what happens. I was intrigued by Locke’s friend Gage. He is an underground cage fighter and their friendship includes a strong bond of friendship and sometimes a lot more goes on when they are together. I love that Tessa is a strong and independent woman. She is a character that I loved from the start of the book. This is a book that is wonderful to read and one that I would recommend.
I actually enjoyed watching as the characters relationships unfolded. I wanted to both throat punch and hug Locke at times but it is what made him real.
I hope that there is another book to see where other relationships had either repaired or ended but otherwise I loved what I read.
This book has criminal elements but other than abuse it is not blatant detailed. The adult situations though are detailed and intended for readers 18+.
It’s definitely not a normal love story. I found it really hard to like Locke. He spent most of the book keeping Tessa at arms length. You feel bad for her most of the book. But he does redeem himself in the end. I loved there happy ending. I think the only thing I would have changed is that we didn’t see Gage and Locke make up. I’m hoping we get Gage’s story!?!

Dr. Tessa Freeman is out to save the world one patient at a time. While working a shift in the ER she comes across two separate cases that are in a way connected. The first case is a male that has been in some sort of fight and needs a few stitches. There is an attraction between the two, but as she doesn’t expect to ever see the man again the good doctor thinks nothing of it. Her second case is a young girl who came in with bumps and bruises saying she is running from domestic violence of sorts. Not liking to see her patients in pain and not wanting this girl to go back to that toxic environment, Tessa makes a few calls and gets the girl sent to a safe house. Little does she know that she has opened a can of worms bigger than she could have imagined.
Locke is the man who Dr. Freeman cleaned and stitched in the ER. He goes to meet the ring leader if a human trafficking ring to inquire about a young girl, the young girl that our lovely doctor helped to gonoff the grid. Though when he gets to the meeting, instead if seeing a young girl, he sees the doctor who helped him to start healing. He makes a deal with the leader to get Tessa out of the hell she is currently in. Though he felt the attraction in the ER he tries to fight whatever feelings crop up in the meantime. His childhood wasn’t so good and his background is dark. Trying to keep Tessa at an arms length is turning out to be harder than he anticipated. In order to have any type of future with her he must first overcome the demons of his past. He also needs to learn how to relinquish the firm control he has over everything in his life and accept help from time to time. There are just some things outside of our control that can’t be helped.
The Debt Collector is the first book in An Underground Bad Boys Romance series by India Kells. Holy hotness Batman! This book was so intense and so steamy, I couldn’t put it down. Dr. Tessa Freeman is trying to save girls from an underground slave ring, but she gets herself into some deep trouble. She gets captured by the slave master only to get saved by a debt collector. Locke is such a HOT character; he’s dark and mysterious but seems to have a heart by saving Tessa. The catch is that Tessa must give herself to Locke fully as payment for her debt. This includes Tessa being with his friend Gage too. Tessa has a hard time putting aside the lust for Locke and Gage to know what she really wants in life. This story was jaw dropping at times, the relations between Tessa and Locke, Tessa and Gage, and even Locke and Gage some times. I was blushing on multiple accounts but I had to keep reading. Besides the hot scenes, this book had a deeper story line dealing with the complex characters. I look forward to reading other stories in this series.
Great character build up easy listening had me wanting to know what happens next. Very detailed realistic content. I enjoyed following Tessa’s journey with her helpfulness and kindness of being a great Dr to her opening herself up and learning more about herself. This is a must read/listen! I can’t wait to hear another from this author.
The Debt Collector by India Kells was a good read. Or well listen, because I listened to the audiobook version. I’m giving this book 4 stars for a couple of reasons. One reason, I feel like this book should come with a trigger warning for some of the content, and it didn’t. It only came with a warning for steam, being an 18+ adult novel. The steam was great, and it was very sexual! 5 stars on that, completely! My other issue (which isn’t the author’s fault at all) was the narrator of this audio book. I found myself laughing more often than not just because his voice was so awkward with the female voices, and the sex scenes in general. Other than those, this book was great! It did not disappoint at all.
This Audible story follows Tessa, an E.R. doctor and Locke, a debt collector. Tessa tries to save girls from a slave ring and is ultimately captured by their master. Locke will help Tessa but only if she agrees to offer herself to him. Then Locke’s friend, Gage, comes into the mix. Tessa’s mind is foggy and reeling. This story is beyond hot! You need to listen to the story to find out who Tessa chooses.
I listen to the audiobook for this book. It was nice to listen to in the background whilst doing day to day activites. I love the action which was provided within the book and all the drama and heartache. Tess is a very deceiving doctor how much of a risk is she willing to take. Locke seems like a character who would be very hard to get on with and took a while for me to get use to
