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.

Once again this author took me on quite the adventure with the words and characters put before me.

Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells this book is the third in the series but can be read as a stand-alone.
It was great getting to read about these characters. With their history it really felt like you were getting to see a whole new level from this series. The fact that the MC’s already had history was interesting. It meant when they met again their connection was already forged and it was instantly relatable. It felt like it took less time to get to know them.
India Kells always seems to know how to write a good story and this one has been no exception. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and can’t wait to read more from this author.

I love, love, LOVED this story!! This isn’t the first book that I have read by this author and I absolutely love her writing. Her stories are always exciting to read and always have that spicy romance to them and Wild Bastard was no exception. From beginning to end I was completely hooked on the story and I fell in love with the characters straight away.
Isabel was a great female lead – she was strong, independent with a great stubborn side to her! She was my perfect leading lady! I loved Kai as well and I thought that he and Isabel were great together! I really loved finally getting to read their story! It was everything I wanted and more!
I love a second chance romance story and I really was rooting for these two the whole way through! If you haven’t read any of the books in this series then I highly recommend reading them however this one could be enjoyed as a standalone also.
I cannot wait to read more from Ms Kells in the future she is a wonderful author and I love reading her work.
Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells is the third book and another gripping tale in this series and about second chances. India’s stories are cleverly woven together and are definite page turners and she has never let me down. I know I am in great hands when I pick up one of her explosive stories. I was on the edge of my seat and I was unable to put it down as I had to know what was coming. The story complex and multi layered and is full of action and danger, intrigue and suspense, secrets and lies and so much more and sizzling, sexy and hot, hot, hot.
Isabelle is introduced to the Bastards and chosen for her particular ability, to help them bring down a monster. What she did not expect was a part of her past to show and have all her secrets revealed.
Kai is torn between bringing down the man who destroys everything, to the one woman who can bring him to his knees.
This is a must to be on your TBR list. I know you will love it as much as I did. I am waiting to see what comes next.

Kai! Ive been waiting for his book and we finally got it. This was much deeper for me as they had a lot of past issues to go through and come to terms with, alongside the big danger of the story.
I didn’t see Izzy’s past coming at all, but what a surprise it was.
These two, fought so hard and worked through it, it made it feel more realistic in my eyes instead of brushing it all under the rug and moving forward.
I can’t wait for more as so much happened and we were left with lots of ways we could go!
Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel by India Kells is a novel fraught with danger, energy and impact. Reading it was to experience all the feelings mentioned in the story. To feel the very essence, the deep depth of each character, was an amazing thing to behold. I am bewitched with India Kells spin on words. I visualised Isabel and Kai, their many friends, and their exciting actions. This is as interactive as you can get without being in the story. I was that invested that I needed a moment to recuperate, re-energise, and reflect on the goodness that is these characters. This story was so crazy, I wanted to be there. Reading it is the next best thing. 5 stars.

Rated 4 stars
Sad to say this isn’t my favorite of the Dark Sparrow stories. I almost felt Kai was a bit too soft hearted. I don’t feel that strong/alpha man vibe from him at all nor did he seem too wild. There are some intense situations here and if it wasn’t for his brothers I am not sure how it would have turned out. Isabel is a strong female character. She did a good job overcoming her past and coming out better for it.
I DO feel for Kai in this one! Although I don’t know whether to be mad at him or Isabel for this situation they repeatedly find themselves in. Yes her past could be an issue but it could be overcome… if it happens going forward it would be pretty hard to swallow. So I can’t believe there wouldn’t be another way. Cryptic, I know, but I’m trying to not give spoilers.
I loved seeing and getting to hang out with Zoe and Archer! They along with others from previous books make great appearances! We get to know more and more of their characters. This is a wonderful and helps me connect with characters through the books. Plus gives me insight to the remaining brothers.
I loved the idea of this book but I just couldn’t love it like I wanted. Maybe it was the first love mixed with the seedier side just didn’t mesh for me. Too opposite.. not to worry I will check out future books to see what happens to some of these characters.

Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel By India Kells
Wild Bastard: A Dark Sparrow Novel is a romantic suspense that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till the last page. I literally couldn’t turn the pages fast enough I had to know what happens next. This Author is one of my favorite Authors and I absolutely love her style of writing and how she literally grabs ahold of you in the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. Her characters are very well developed and easily relatable. They are true to life. This is the third Book in this series but can be read as a standalone with no problem. I do recommend reading the first two books but like I said its not necessary. Find out what happens next with Isabel and Kai. Can these two have their second chance? Can Kai let go of the past? I highly recommend this must read Book. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Wild Bastard is the third book in the Dark Sparrows Series by India Kells. This is a HOT, suspenseful, dramatic and gripping second chances story- full of danger, action, chemistry, secrets, twists, revenge, an evil adversary, drama, intrigue, and romance.
This book is a real page turner, I couldn’t put it down and ended up devouring it in only a few hours. The story was really well written and has a multi-layered and complex storyline that was deftly woven into an exciting and incredibly entertaining read. There were a lot highly charged situations that occurred throughout the story, keeping me flipping pages to find out what would happen next.
I have been waiting for Kai and Izzy’s story to release, so I had pretty high expectations- but I needn’t have worried, because Ms. Kells didn’t disappoint and delivered everything I could have hoped for…. and more! I love Kai and Izzy- they were fantastic and drawing me into the story, and pulling me along on quite a ride!!!
I really recommend this story! You are sure to love it just as much as I have.
I can’t wait to see what she does next!!!
Thank You, Ms. Kells!
Kells is hands down becoming one of my favorite authors. The way she weaves this tale, the suspense kept me white knuckled. The chemistry between our main characters was palpable and believable. This book and series grabbed my attention and wouldn’t let go. Yet another wonderful page turner that should be on everyone’s must-read list if you like suspense and romance intertwined. Absolutely recommend!
This is the third installment to the series and once again it had me gripping on to my kindle eager to read it all in one sitting just couldn’t put it down. There is so much going on betrayal, revenge and just pure evil but there’s also lightness to the story with romance, trust and finding love. I loved this novel so much i like how it isn’t all rainbows and sunshine that there is rawness to the storyline and it just show life isn’t simple and there are obstacles but you can overcome them. Also I’m a sucker for a second chance romance i love that even though so much time had passed and so much has happened there is still sometimes a way to pull through and get your happy ending.
This is the third book in this series, it can be read as a standalone. You won’t regret picking up the previous two books as well. This is a well written story that the suspense left me sitting on the edge of my seat and turning pages until the end. Isabel and Kai have a history and after 15 years fate has them come face to face again. Will Kai be able to let go of the past so they can have a second chance? A story of finding love and trust, I highly recommend this book.

Could this turn into a second chance at love for Isabel and Kai and how far is Isabel willing to go to help them?
Wild Bastard is a funny, suspenseful, and steamy story that you won’t be able to put down
Wild Bastard was the first book that I’ve read from the Dark Sparrows series despite the fact that it is book 3 and now I’m dying to read the first 2! This second chance romance stars Isabel, who is intelligent, confident, tenacious, and a little bit stubborn. Her hero is Kai. This former military, surfer is funny, caring, determined, and loyal. Being reunited after 15 years both are surprised to see the other, but the sparks still fly when they are in a room together. India Kells gives us steam, suspense, and laughter in this must-read. You do not want to miss this!!
Kai and Isabel’s story is the 3rd book in an amazing series that will keep you turning the pages. It isn’t just a series of revenge, betrayal and the evilness known as the bastards father. It is about finding love, trust and family despite all the bad. While the whole series is great, this book focuses on Kai and Isabel. Will they have their second chance at love or will Kai be unable to get pass the past? read to find out.
Man in uniform? CHECK! Survival of the fittest? CHECK! A dark sparrow with a past thrown in an already messy situation? CHECK! Bea sure knows how to pick them! And once again India Kells did it excellently. This series, these characters, they aren’t for the faint of heart. But boy oh boy, do they ever illicit all the feels! Don’t waste anymore time! Read them all!

This is another romantic suspense which will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout as you read along the path they all travel to get to the conclusion of the story.
Wild Bastard, the third novel in the Dark Sparrow series, is gripping! Kai Jones, the laid back one in the crazy Hawaiian shirts, gets a blast from the past when Isabel Osborne walks back into his life. Isabel is a force all her own with a past she would rather keep to herself. I simply loved this story. Kia and Isabel are like magnets, it only takes a flip to repel or attract. I am so happy I have another book to read in this series!
