This has a slow start but picks up and has a wonderful HEA ending. This has drama, suspense and so much more. Will is an electrician who had a hard childhood growing up in the foster system. His older foster brother pulls him into robbing banks. Heidi and her friends quit their jobs and move to Florida. She loses a bet and has to stay to deal with the electrician. Will and Heidi have sizzling chemistry and steam up the pages. Heidi and her friend Val are a bit immature for me. Will made the book worth reading. He has a good heart and wants to build his business. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
You can’t go wrong choosing to read this
Heidi, a hair salon lackey, meets Will, an electrician with dark secrets, when the house she and her two friends moved to have a problem with the electrical system. As the story progresses a second encounter is not guaranteed, secrets kept could kill the trust they’re building, and repeating old patterns may just break them both. Ali Parker’s Hot Summer Nights does not give the reader time to cool off. Between the witty girl talk, sizzling chemistry, and dark decisions; you can’t go wrong choosing to read this one. I wonder if she has anything planned for Olive, Valerie, or Rayce.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
HOT SUMMER LOVIN’ By Ali Parker
Wow! This is a very different, original type of love story, and I really appreciated that. Will grew up in foster care scraping for everything he had. Heidi lost her parents at age 18, but has two best friends that are her family now. They meet when he is hired to come check out the wiring at the house the girls moved into. Chemistry and attraction are hot, solid story line, and great characters. When things are not what they seem to be I was afraid our hero was flawed beyond redemption, I didn’t know how Ali would get Will out of his jam, but she sure did admirably. I could not put it down as I wanted to know how things would turn out. This is a 5 star story for me.
Falling for the bad boy then he reforms

Another must read from this author. Great plot and characters. I volunteered to read an advance copy for an honest review.

I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.
Although I had a trouble getting into this book at the beginning it ended up being really enjoyable and refreshing read!
Heidi and Val were really irritating awith how childish, spoiled and irresponsible they were but eventually I learned to tolerate that and they grew on me. Will really saved this book with his good heart despite his bad boy ways.
I wouldn’t mind stories about how Val and Olive find their HEA.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
An exceptional book about life what you make of it and the choices you make. Will grew up in Foster Care and has always wanted a better life for himself but he felt as if he owed his foster brother a lot for helping him when he aged out of the system. Even if that came in the form of illegal activity. Will, however, wanted out and more so since he met and started falling for Heidi.
Heidi and her best friends left New York to come to Florida to start over, life wasn’t easy for them. When she met Will on the first day in their new home she wanted him.
Can Will do the right thing to make the relationship with Heidi work?
Such a pageturner of a book.
This was a good romance and the chemistry between Will and Heidi was strong. Fate brought them together. Will had a sad upbringing in the foster care system but was basically a good person. He allowed his foster brother to drag him into a world crime by robbing banks. Some suspense and drama and then the pull between good and evil. His love for Heidi and his unborn child made his decision so much easier. The devotion between the foster brothers was real. Life gives you choices and when you have to choose between money and what’s right, things have a way of coming into perspective. Likable characters and an entertaining story. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to write a review.
Maybe it’s the number of years between my age and the age of the heroine in this book, but I had a lot of trouble getting into it. Heidi’s childish behavior, and that of and her friend Val, bothered me to no end. I couldn’t connect with her. Will came across as being more mature, so it was easier for me to understand him and his motivations. One of the things I adore most about a Parker story is that the ‘bad boy’ hero is still a good man. This book really pushed it to the edge. I was having problems fitting Will into the good man category for most of the book. He pulls it of in the end, but it was a near thing. For me, this was a three-and-a-half star review, but I’m going to round it up. I know there are readers who are going to love this story the way I wanted to. The story is well-written, the characters are complex and believable, I just wasn’t able to get far enough past Heidi and Val’s spoiled, selfish attitudes.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
