Isabel Osborne learned early that when life gives you lemons, grab the salt and find some tequila. Before her life took an unexpected path, she found her prince charming in the form of a laughing surfer. The tragedy was that she couldn’t keep him, and even worse, had to break his heart. As she walked away without a word and with a bleeding heart, her only regret was that he’d never know how much … much she had loved him.
Kai Jones, former Delta Force, together with his bastard brothers, has a single objective—bring down their father at all cost before other lives are on the line. But when he comes face to face with a siren from his past, his mighty control is shattered and replaced by hatred and bitterness. How can he rein in his resentment toward the woman who betrayed him and focus on the mission?
When he’s forced to protect her, Kai discovers that Isabel is more than who she seems. He can’t help but admire the person she has become, and it makes him reconsider his feelings for her. Soon though, the secrets she kept hidden for so long shake his own convictions. With danger lurking, Kai will have to make a decision between stepping away from those shocking revelations or listen to his heart and who it longs for.

5 out of 5 stars
The story Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells is a romantic suspense book. It is a story that at times had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. It grabs you from the beginning and doesn’t let go until you have read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Isabel Osborne and Kai Jones. Isabel is a strong, intelligent, independent, beautiful, and stubborn woman. Kai is resourceful and who with his brothers have the objective of bringing down their father. Read this book for their amazing story. The book has scenes that are suspenseful and that had me on the edge of my seat. It also had my emotions going up and down. I grew to care about Kai and Isabel when reading this story and wanted them to find happiness. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are included in the book. Some of them are familiar as I had read about them in the previous story. I enjoyed reading the bantering and interactions between the characters. Don’t miss out on the next exciting book in a wonderful series. Highly recommended reading.

Wild Bastard is the third book in the Dark Sparrows Series by India Kells. This series should be read in order to get all of the background and to better understand all of the characters in this series. This book hooked from the very first page and I couldn’t put it down till the last. This is Isabel and Kai’s story. They have so much chemistry, but also a bunch of baggage from their past. My emotions were taking big swings during this book, and I loved the action. I would highly recommend this book, series and author. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Ms.Kells has in store for us next.
“The Dark Sparrow Series” is a spin off of “The Women of Purgatory Series” and while I believe each book can be read on its own, there are threads that tie it all together. The characters all live in the same “world”. WILD BASTARD is book # 6 in both series and # 3 in the Dark Sparrow series. I think it is important/helpful to read each in order because there are so many cross over characters.
WILD BASTARD is a fast paced story and while I was going to read for a little bit on this gorgeous spring Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, I found myself not able to put the book down until I was finished.
I love reading strong female characters who work to lift other women up instead of putting then down. This action packed story certainly has its share of fabulous females.
From beginning to the end, this story is well plotted and has a very clear path as the story winds itself through the twists and turns. I am so glad the series is continuing because I’m not ready to say goodbye yet.
Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells is a page turning romantic suspense. I instantly devoured this story as the author released this next story in the Dark Sparrow series. The writing is exciting and highly entertaining. Isabel and Kai are magnetic in this story and I couldn’t tear my attention away from them. Their previous history set the pages on fire along with their present interactions as they unfolded. The suspense and character portrayals were excellently written and kept the high energy continuous from start to beginning. The pace of the story was steady with some fast paced sequences falling exactly where needed. A great addition to the series with an amazing cast of characters.
What a brilliant plot this author has come up with, I do love the way she tells a story. This is the third book in the series, but they can be read in any order as I haven’t read the previous two, and this one is awesome! Lots of action, suspense and drama that kept me riveted to my seat. I think the chemistry and the dialogue is brilliant between the two main characters. For an awesome fast-paced read grab this book!

This is one hot sexy book that definitely will not disappoint you… you can’t go wrong with this book.
Although it’s one of a series, it’s a fast-paced standalone book that will keep you engaged from start to finish. There’s action, adventure, drama, danger, suspense, unexpected twist/turns, enemies, survival, intrigue, humor, conflict, confusion, happiness, kindness, loyalty, honor, retribution, romance, passion/lust, history, second chances and love.
The characters are fighting against a mogul that has his fingers in, drugs, prostitution, pedophilia, murder and so much more!
It’s one series I’ll keep a lookout for; I can’t wait to read more about the bastard brothers

India Kells really just keeps on outdoing her own self. I have been an avid reader of Kells for a long time now so any time a new book of hers is available I tend to scoop them up without so much as a blink. I’m especially partial to this Dark Sparrow series of hers. Wild Bastard is the third book in the series, but could if you really want to miss out on some fantastic novels read this as a stand alone. They do have recurring characters but India Kells always keeps it easy to follow.
Wild Bastard is Kai and Izzy’s story. I adored these two and really enjoyed reading their journey. The two met and fell madly in love with each other years before but Izzy one day disappeared without so much as a goodbye. Here we are now and we find Izzy and Kai crossing each other’s path again. Will they be able to capture that same love they had before and hang on to it this time? I can’t wait to find out what will come next for the Dark Sparrow series!
This book had me hooked from beginning to end. Characters are well developed and engaging and the storyline flowed smoothly.

Wild Bastard is the third installment in the Dark Sparrow series and can be read as a stand-alone although characters from the previous book are featured in this book. With that said in my opinion for the best reading experience i would read the two previous books first.
This story is all about second chances and with the history that Kai and Izzy have, there is alot going on in their lives. They work so well together but the amount of secrets weigh heavily on their shoulders and that can slowly drive people apart.
This book had a little bit of everything. There is suspense, romance, action, danger and a whole lot of drama. It an extremely well written story that i lost myself in from the moment i picked it up. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and i would recommend it to a friend.
Wild Bastard
A Dark Sparrow Novel
By India Kells
You will read and watch as the suspense turn into romance. Yes it is one of those must reads.
Isabel is in love with Kai. But that is the one thing she can not tell him. When she had to walk away from him, she did so with a bleeding heart. Little did she know. Kai felt the same towards her. Isabel is a strong independent woman with goals. Kai is a strong man with all the fight he may need to bring his father down. Is this a romance worth fighting for? Read the book and let e know what you think.
India Kells has once again written a great suspenseful romance. I loved her characters,as well as the rollercoaster this story takes you on. My emotions were all over the place. There are tender moments, but they don’t last long. Then the suspense takes over and you can’t put the book down, as you might miss something. This was one of those books, when you say. “I’ll just read one more chapter.”The next thing you know the evening has gone, and it is time to get up. Make sure to read this book and the others in order, so you get the whole picture. Well done India Kells, well done!

5 Stars
This is my 4th book by this author and my 2nd in this series, not sure how I missed the first one but that is an easy fix 🙂
This author has a style of writing that lures you in from the very first chapter and she places twists and turns throughout that you seriously don’t see coming and although most are not life shattering, throw your kindle kind of twists they still pack quite a punch and I love love love that.
The anger displayed in the beginning of this story was completely justified on one side and completely understandable on the other once I knew the whole story. I love these books and the continuing story going on with some new people added to the mix in every book.
I love the connection between these brothers even if everyone of them are so very different and I already can not wait for Liam’s story and did I read that last part correctly? Sister? I can’t even imagine where this one is gonna go and what needs to happen to bring the evil down…
Love these books and can’t recommend them high enough and really anything by this author is an absolute must read!
Wild Bastard is the third novel in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. This is my second novel by this author.
Kai is on a mission to stopping his father, who is not a nice guy. Izzy is suppose to help down Kai’s father’s business but she has some secrets of her own.
This is a story of redemption, betrayal, and revenge, and a sprinkle of love and it’s a great read with amazing characters.
I love series that can be read has a standalone but also see characters from previous novels. I don’t want to give anything away.
For lovers of suspenseful romance and a read that leave you on the edge of your seat, I recommend this novel and series.
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 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.
Wild Bastard is the third book in India Kells’ Dark Sparrow Series. I think I have read all the books in her Women of Purgatory series and the other books in the Dark Sparrow series and I have to say that with every single book I read, I get pulled deeper and deeper into the world she has created. It is really cool how her books are in a way standalones while at the same time still connected – you meet characters from different series and they get involved in each other stories! It is such a fun to pick up a book and figure out how and where it fits in India Kells’ universe!
Wild Bastard is a story of second chances – our Kai and Isabelle who met years ago and then Isabelle disappeared from Kai’s life while leaving him emotionally destroyed … the story that the writer has given us is complex, it is full of action and intrigue and suspense and secrets and lies … and sex … and love …
I promise you will be sitting at the edge of your seat and once you are finished with Wild Bastard, you will be reaching for the first two books in the series and you will also be checking India’s website for the updates on when the next book will come out!
Wild Bastard is the 3rd instalment in the Dark Sparrow series by India Kells. Each book can be read as a stand-alone although characters do re-occur in subsequent books, so if you plan to read more than one book then I’d advise to read them in order to avoid possible spoilers. I’ve loved the books in this series so I would definitely advise that you do read them all.
Wild Bastard is a romantic thriller that will keep you gripped from the very first page right up to the very end. The suspense and tension will have you on the edge of your seat and keep you glued to the storyline.
Kai and Izzy’s story is also a second chance romance. Having met and fallen in love many years previously, Kai was devastated when Izzy just disappeared without saying goodbye. Now many years later, Izzy is called upon to help Kai and his brother’s bring down their father Jamieson Finch.
India Kells certainly knows how to weave an intricate and exciting storyline. I have read other novels from her outside of the Dark Sparrow series and have found her to be an amazing storyteller who writes and develops fantastic characters.
I really hope that there is more to come from the dark Sparrow novels as the other brothers who have not had their own books yet are intriguing characters that I’d love to hear more about.

A Dark Sparrow Novel
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
A great follow up to Cold Bastard. In this book we meet Kai and Izzy. I was so hoping for their story and my dreams came true. This book is a nice mix of romance and suspense, so it will have you engrossed the whole way through.
Kai’s father is a douche and Kai will stop at nothing to bring his father’s company down while also dealing with this feelings for Izzy. Izzy was brought in to help bring Kai’s father’s business down but at the same time her past secrets are revealed. Izzy is a strong woman, and her personality had me loving her from the very beginning. I do wish Kai and Izzy were not in so many compromising situations, or I could see them together quicker, but then we wouldn’t have a great story right?
Second chance romance is one of my top favorite genres, so this book was perfect and everything I wanted for Izzy and Kai. I would recommend reading to find out if Izzy and Kai can make it through all of this drama. This book can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you start from the beginning. This author never disappoints.
Wild Bastard is a perfect example of a third book in a romantic suspense series. It has everything; drama, adventure, danger, romance with a little heartwarming emotions and of course suspense. Will they survive not only each other but their biggest threat? Will love rule out? That’s what I love about these books, you may have read some like them before but they always suck you in and before you know it you are looking for the next thrilling installment. These books won’t solve a world crisis, but that’s not why I read them, I read them to be entertained. This book is thrilling and fun and it had me flipping the pages while I was biting my nails full of suspense and worry. I made the mistake of reading this book first as it can be read as a standalone but I want to know more about this group of men so I’m going back to the beginning. Can’t wait to see how they got this far!
I loved this story. It is full of adventure and romance and shows if love is strong it can overcome anything.
This is the story of Kai and Izzy. After meeting when they were younger Izzy broke his heart when she disappeared from his life.
With Kai and his brothers still looking to bring down their father they hire someone to get close to him as his PR assistant. The lady that gets the call is Izzy.
So follows a story for lost love, secrets from both their pasts, all while trying to decieve and bring down a dangerous man
Wild Bastard by India Kells is the third book in the Dark Sparrow series. I haven’t read the others in the series so there are some things I’m sure would make more sense if I had read them, but this could be read as a standalone.
The third brother to get a book is Kai. He is a strong alpha who was once brought to his knees by a woman but he’s determined not to let that happen again. He is stuck somewhere in the middle of the past and now when he sees her.
Isabel has become a successful owner of a PR firm which has really taken off in the last couple of years. She’s approached by Jamison Finch to help him but is this a good idea or will she be working with the devil.
I really liked the relationship between Kai and his brothers. Even though they weren’t raised together they have a good relationship. Looking forward to going back to read the first two while waiting for the next one to be released.

The past should always stay in the past. The author made some valuable points in this story. Izzy has built herself so many shields its hard to find a soft moment. Her past was tough and you see that throughout the story. Kai has a hard yet soft personality. I do wish that the author would’ve given her more soft moments. The characters all sound great and the need for help is apparent in every word. I liked how the author built you up to the climax. Over all a fun story to read. The series of books have been a treat.
