I don’t fit into the world around me. My brother and father are far more the billionaire type. Art is what wakes me up. Expressing my soul through a paintbrush. That and the beautiful woman that stole my heart years ago. But she belongs to their world. An executive for the accounting firm my family runs. And we live clear across the country from one another, but that doesn’t stop the way I feel. … one another, but that doesn’t stop the way I feel.
Every time I see her, I want to change everything about myself until she takes notice.
Funnily enough, she doesn’t want me to change a damn thing.
She says that now, but when she finds out all that I desire of her, with her, she might not be so compliant.
Or maybe that’s what she’s been waiting on this whole time.
This is book 1 in a 3 book series. You will have to read book 2 and 3 to complete the story.

Well Written Story: Original And Believable – Highly Recommended Reading!!!
There are so many levels to this story. Me. Parker really delves into the depths of both the main male and female characters. If you have read the story of his older, you will appreciate the main male character’s stance in life. He currently comes from a very loving family environment but there definitely were some painful memories from his childhood. His father, older brother and step-sister are all involved in the family business, of which, he has no interest. This lack of interest in the family business certainly sets him apart from the other family members and as such, he sometimes feels isolated and under-valued.
We also met the main female character in the previous two stories in this series. She too works for the main male character’s family business, but in a different location. She is very close to the main male character’s father and as a result she is invited to family events. In comparison to the main male character, the main female character is much more grounded and solidified in her career path. She also happens to care very deeply for the main male character.
The growth and challenges the main male character undertakes have him headed onto a pathway that is completely in tune with his nature. Through all these new challenges and endeavours, a romantic connection is established between the main male and female characters. This is a very meaty tale that imparts a lot of insights, perspectives and emotions.
This story is well written, original and believable. The characters, meaning the entire ensemble cast, are well developed and clearly defined. Ms. Parker provides the reader with quite a few hours of highly enjoyable reading entertainment.
A highly recommended read, along with the other two stories in this series. Good stuff!!
Definitely Recommend One-Clicking and adding the jewel of His Many Desires to your Kindle library. Don’t want to give any spoilers but join Adam & Erica on their suspenseful, intense, action-packed journey that potent, feverish & simply just hot!
While I did receive an advance copy from the author, I also purchased the book & am voluntarily leaving my voluntary opinion with this review.
A captivating, heartwarming story of a young woman who yearns to be accepted by those around her and a young man who is scared to open his heart to love because of choices made by his parents. Erica is an advertising director but dreams of being n artist and Matthew a free spirit artist. His Many Desires was a great story filled with heartache, passion, flirtatious banter, an obsessed coworker, a tight knit family that is always there for each other. This was a fantastic, well written story that will have readers’ hearts pounding and wonderful characters that readers will fall in love with. I absolutely loved this trilogy.

Another great story by Ali Parker. Matt is an artist down to his soul and wants to make his own way in the world, and he doesn’t want to be forced to work in his family’s corporate world. Erica is always the professional and the Chief Advertising Officer for the family firm in Seattle. Matt and Erica have loved each other from afar for years. Matt and Erica reconnect when Matt’s father, Erica’s boss, asks Erica to convince Matt to work for the company. Can Matt and Erica overcome their issues and open up to each other about their true desires? Can Matt and Erica find their happily ever after? I really liked His Many Desires by Ali Parker. His Many Desires will take the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride full of action, drama, angst, and HEAT. I would definitely recommend getting His Many Desires by Ali Parker. I received an ARC of this book, and I am leaving my honest review.
I love the relationship between Mat and Erica; the doubts and unsureness about themselves for the other. The insecurities from past relationships with friends and family all combined to bring out the best and the worse in this couple to me. The surprise twists of the other characters all bring this story to life.
If you have never read an Ali Parker story, this one is a must read!
I loved Matt and Erica’s story! Ali Parker had me hooked from page 1!
I enjoyed Matt and Erica’s story! This is a well written story with great characters. I loved the plot as well. I enjoyed the development between Matt and Erica! It’s a great romance with some ups and downs.
This is actually the third book in a fabulous series about Billionaires by the terrific best selling USA author, Ali Parker that will leave you wanting more. Now having said that it’s the third book in the series, don’t let that put you off as you can read it as a standalone. However, I have read all three and as a consequence, I feel as if I ‘know’ the characters all the more having met Matt and Erica in books 1 and 2 as well as Matt’s family with their quirks! Matt is the artistic one of his family of accountants but he never had an inclination for that and has gone his own way and not joined the firm, preferring to to his art. Erica has done business with Matt’s family business for two years now and they both have been emotionally invested in each other even though they deny it. Erica appears to be all alpha female whilst Matt is a supposed ‘gentle’ artist. But in the bedroom expect the opposite of both of them and it’s there that they discover that they are very simpatico but they’re both scared of being hurt. Then there is someone, Mitch, who comes on the scene and things start to really heat up as does he mean the end of these two wonderful characters? I’ve now ‘known’ Erica and Matt for three books and I have really enjoyed them. He’s sweet and fun and very protective [see book one with his ‘new’ sister and how sweet he was looking out for her]. He is also a bit wary of Erica as he knows the pull that she has over him and he both wants that yet fears it at the same time. Erica, meanwhile, is a strong young woman who has loved Matt for two years now and tried to persuade him to come work for her business in all that time but he’s yet to be persuaded. Yet when they do get together the air practically sizzles with the chemistry between them. This is a story that I enjoyed very much and will re-read it in the future as it was just so well written and entertaining – a real page turning book. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
A well written story with nice storyline and plot. A bit too long but absolutely worth the read. Likeable characters who are described and develops well. Story flows nicely of the pages. It is written in dual POV which gives the reader more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. This brings the story closer to the reader.
A hot and steamy sweet romance that is captivating from start to finish. One to read!
Another incredible book by Ali Parker. Her books just splash so much emotion on the pages that you feel like it’s happening to you. Emotionally captivating and consuming. Erica has loved Matt for the last two years but is afraid his commitment phobia will destroy them. Erica is terrified since her 12 year love affair ended. Matt is afraid and thinks he needs to get himself together before he can really be with her. Erica thinks he keeps running away because he doesn’t love her. They are both so totally in love with each other but are both afraid.
Wonderful story. Beautiful emotional read. You can see the conflict between Erica and Matt and you want it so much to work out happily for them. Scorching hot sex scenes. Witty banter between the two of them trying to outdo the other. A totally consuming story of that once in a lifetime love.

Ali Parker Is a wonderful and brilliant Author. If you read the first book, this release is another powerful read and you’d expect nothing less. I don’t even know where to begin. I try extremely hard never to give away any part of a book, with that said… His Many Desires has a creative storyline with characters that are completely compelling and realistic. Trust that you will have no issue visualizing as the story plays out. You will only become even more engrossed in the plot, twists and turns as well as the love that is clear as day. Matt is more the free spirit of the Family and very artistic (and obsessed with Erica). Erica has a very stressful job and has completely been in love with Matt; although both are just as clueless. Can these two amazing people ever open up about their true desires and get their happily ever after? Find out right here in this incredibly written masterpiece. Yes, this is the second book, however, it can be read as a standalone.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of His Many Desires in exchange for my honest/voluntarily given opinion and I couldn’t devour it fast enough. I can’t wait to see what is next from this brilliant Author.
So if you’ve read the other books then you have been waiting for this one. We finally get to see how Matt and Erica’s relationship gets started and what happens in between to make them have their doubts. They are so perfect for each other and you can see it in how they interact with each other. This sties was so good. Not sure if they will have anymore in this series but if they do, Lanie needs her story told. Thank you Ali for another amazing series. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
A thoughtful yet emotionally charged romance read
Erica, director of advertising, has had feelings for Matt, an aspiring artist, since they met two years ago. As the story progresses their insecurities get the best of them, misunderstandings cause division and if they can just get out of their own way a bright future is possible. Ali Parker provided a thoughtful yet emotionally charged romance read. His Many Desires brings back the characters I love from His Many Demad, His Many Rules and Right Under His Nose brining the series of interwoven stories to a close.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
His Many Desires by author Ali Parker was wonderful. While the first book was about the eldest brother, Damon, this book is about Matt, his artistic younger brother. He has been infatuated and intimidated with Erica for two years while she has been in love with him. Will they ever get on the same page or should I say canvas sense they are both artists.
The humor was so well written I actually laughed out loud. Matt and Damon…too funny in some of their scenes, i.e., fighting. Thumbs way up.
My only criticism is the writing in Zak the puppy which confused me. He added nothing to the story and for a six week old little guy he was sort of left hanging out there by himself. Felt no bonding took place even though Erica went on about wanting a puppy for unconditional love but, there was none going back to the puppy, or so it would seem. Word to authors: Learn about the needs and welfare of a puppy, kitten or any animal before adding to the story. It just keeps us animal lovers breathing easy. Thanks. =^..^=
I am definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and am leaving this review for your consideration.
Wow! I loved Matt and Erica’ story! It’s love story that was two years in the making. Matt never fit in with the family corporate culture, needing to feed his artists soul. Erica heads up the marketing division of the company and wants Matt for herself…professionally and personally. Matt has his own demons that keep him from living his life the way he wants, and keep him from the woman who enchants him. This is a story of self discovery for both of them, one that is filled with guilt, pain, heartache but also understanding, support, lust and love. It’s such a great book!
Matthew and Erica have a lot in common and yet they are miles apart. Matthew is afraid of commitments thanks to the mistakes of his parents. He is an artist who has deep feelings for Erica and longs to be with her but feels that he is not what she needs. Erica on the other hand languishes over being an artist and truly likes Matthew just the way he is. This is a story about the journey of self discovery and opening ones self to the possibilities of a lifetime love in spite the mistakes of others. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
What do get when you mix together opposites who are attracted to each other, drama filled supporting characters, and a connection that can’t be denied? This wonderfully written story has all of that and more. Will they get their HEA? Grab this story today! I received an advanced readers copy of this book and highly recommend it.
This book checks all the boxes of my reality-TV-loving heart. Big angsty emotions? Check. Questionable choices? Check. Drama for its own sake? Check. Quirky family and best friends? Absolutely. And thank heavens for those best friends and family trying to talk both Matt and Erica in off their respective ledges. But at the same time, it frustrated me so much. I’ve never been a fan of what feels like manufactured drama simply because two characters aren’t talking to each other. There were so many times I wanted to take the pair and shake some sense into them shouting “just speak your truth!” I realize that they had to go through all of that painful emotional growth to get to the point where they could accept their happily-ever-after, but it broke my heart watching them hurt so badly.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
I absolutely loved this book and was honored to have been able to read and review. It was such a phenomenal read and had amazing characters as well as an amazing story line. I just couldn’t get enough of it and once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. I recommend that you read it.

This is one little jewel that’s written with such passion you feel all the gut wretching, uncertainty that really kicks this little gem up a few notches on the hot charts.
