Will is an electrician with a spotty past. His foster brother, Rayce needs his help with another “job” as in thieving.
Heidi works at a hair salon and is in need of a summer fling.
I liked that these two people were not wealthy and that they had to work for a living, strictly blue collar. Well, in Will’s case augmented with his side hustle. The point is, they hard to work.
Yay. Steam ensues.
WOW!!!! What else is there to say. This was a really HOT story, and you will be missing out if you do not read it. I could not put it down it was that good!

I received a free copy of the full length novel Hot Summer Lovin: One Hot Summer Book 1: Will by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
A steamy reformation of a bad boy, unplanned pregnancy, rocky romance with a happy ending set in Florida. Foster care system survivor now electrician Will is peer pressured to continue with the life of bank robbery by his foster brother Rayce util fate steps in in the form of recent Florida resident Heidi. Interesting characters, plain language, some steamy scenes, and a group of three close woman whose lives are changed by fate fill the pages of this easy flowing and drama packed first novel of the series.
Contains some violence and plan language. The series is best read in sequence.
Absolutely loved this book.
Loved the storyline and all the characters and their connections.
Adored Will and Heidi and especially baby Adam when he arrived.
Loved Val and Olive too
I was do happy that Will and Heidi got their HEA as they both so deserved it even though Will had done wrong he still deserved the happy life they were heading toward.
3 best friends, (Heidi,Vall, and Olivia) quit their jobs and pack up to move from NY to Olivia’s late mother’s summer home on the beach in FLA. This is the story of Heidi and local bad boy Will and their roller coaster romance. You dont see the twists and turns coming until you are right on top of them and then they have to find a solution or do they?? I really enjoyed reading this book
Heidi, Valerie and Olive decided to leave New York and head to Tampa Florida to move into Olive’s family home that was left to her. As with houses that have been left unoccupied for any length of time the wiring needed attention.
What Heidi wasn’t expecting was Will the electrician that arrived. Instant attraction sparks and all. Will has his secrets that threatens to destroy their chance to be together.
Read to discover if love can hold them together.
What a roller coaster of a ride in this one. Hang on to your seat and enjoy the story!! I read an arc of this book.
Wow, what a story. It had it all and kept me on my toes. It was definitely a page turner for me. Ali Parker, you surprised me but what a wonderful story. So glad I read this one.
Will grew up in the foster care system and if wasn’t for Rayce, eight years older than him, he probably wouldn’t have been in such a good place emotionally as he is now. Rayce protected him over the years and acted like his brother/father figure.So he feels that he owes Rayce his loyalty. They start out robbing banks to make ends meet and haven’t got caught, so far! But Will wants more out of his life. He wants to earn money honestly and so he studies to become an electrician. Will has a good heart. Don’t think otherwise but,at times, he makes bad choices. When one summer he meets Heidi who moves into a house with two girl friends and they need Will’s help as they have no power. Will and Heidi are very smitten with each other but it’s certain that they will even see each other again. However, they do and their romance blossoms. But he has that one major secret that involves Rayce that he just can’t tell her. But what happens when Heidi discovers that she has a secret from Will?Will she tell Will?? And what about Rayce? This is a somewhat different storyline from Ali Parker than usual. I did find it not so easy to like Rayce nor Will to be honest at the beginning. But as the story progressed I was rooting for Will and Heidi to have their HEA. A really good ending! A well paced story that I couldn’t put down as I just ‘had to know’what was going to happen with these engaging characters.
I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most Definitely Recommended.
This book was definitely different than any I have read in a while. I found it quick to read, entertaining and kept me interested. Will has a had a hard life and as a result does things that many would not see as acceptable. He wants to be good but doesn’t know how to accomplish this. Heidi sees only the good in Will. She must accept his mistakes in order for this story to work. Loved it.
Ali Parker’s Hot Summer Lovin’.
This is the hot story of William and Heidi. It’s well written, the characters are very deep, a high chemistry and a slew of emotions. The storyline will definitely keep you entertained until the very end. You can expect a great book. One click it fast! Thanks Ali. I have voluntarily read and reviewed this advanced readers copy
Ali you hit the nail on the head with this one. We watch as a guy who knows all to well what life in the foster system is like and as an adult try as he might to get out of the life he became apart of. Meets the perfect girl for him and both try to have a good life. But as all stoey go it has it’s highs and lows but in the end these two make it work. I hope that you have more books just like this one about some of the same values or close to it. I definitely give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy
One doozy of a tale with Will, the ” Bad Boy ” who has a loving heart underneath all the years of unknowns, dark places, and scars to go along with it, one woman, Heidi, her two friends, and his foster brother Rayce-change the course of his life in one hot supensful Florida summer.
Sizzling with mystery and intrigue, I couldn’t help but be caught up in the dramatics of this story! I tettered back and forth in my like and dislike for the characters and their decisions, certainly didn’t stop me from reading on!
A twisty plot, with a fast-paced story, and pulse-pounding moments- this bad boy taken down by the love romance is a sexy beast of frustrating entertainment!
Ali Parker Knows How To get my attention!

A good man you can’t resist. At the beginning of this book, you will be thinking there is no way this is going to have a happily ever after, but it has one of the best ones you’ll ever read. We’ll meets Heidi when he comes to repair the electricity in their house in Florida. He thinks he is the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen and leaves that his phone number, in case there’s trouble with the electricity. Yeah, right. He wants her to call him for him. They are just so cute together and hit it off so well. Will has a secret he can’t tell Heidi, but Heidi trusts him and makes him a better man. A really good book with a great happily ever after. It will catch you by surprise.

This is an emotional read with wonderful characters – you will laugh, cry and ultimately be happy that these two found each other. I received an advanced readers copy of this book and am gladly leaving this review.
A good hot summer read. It starts off slow but once I got into it, I couldn’t put it down. It’s a good storyline with great characters and sizzling hot chemistry. I recommend it. I received an ARC for an honest review.
This is a very fitting title for this hot romantic story. Although I had a hard time with the immaturity of the characters I did enjoy this story. Will and Heidi develop and grow through the process and story which was nice to see. Of course, when you have a bundle on the way it definitely makes you think and change. Overall, a very enjoyable story with suspense, passion and hot chemistry!
Sometimes the saying runs true people do stupid things when their young to survive but also for love. Will is a young man who works a blue collar job earning an honest wage. Heidi is a young woman who moves to Tampa Florida from New York with her two best friends. When these two meet sparks fly and passion ignites, however when miraculous accident happens Will believes the best way to provide for his family is to break the law. Hot Summer Lovin’ was a fantastic witty and thrilling story about right and wrong, and sometimes losing the person you love makes you realize that a change needs to be made. Filled with wit, heartache, fear, laughter, family, passion, and love. Readers will be captivated by Will and Heidi’s story. A great story I couldn’t put down.
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this novel.”
What an amazing story! I loved that this one had me on the edge of seat and that the drama that unfolded was unexpected. Will has such a great heart and although he went down the wrong road, he did it out of love and concern for the woman he loves and his big brother. The friendship of the three girls also gave this story dimension and another aspect of love. Great story! I received this book at no cost in exchange for my honest review.
Heidi is just a sweet girl that wants to get away from New York. Her and her two friends pack and move to Florida. She meets Will the hot electrician. They have an instant connection. She just doesn’t know his dark secret. Will is trying to stay out of trouble but his brother always has a way of talking him into it. These two have so much in common and hit it off right away. I enjoyed this book! I liked the ending and liked how Will and Heidi had a happily ever after.
