RickThe same girl has been leaving tire marks all over my heart for years. Now that I’ve finally moved on and accepted the fact that she’s never going to be mine, she’s batting her lashes at me and saying my name in a tone that suggests she wants to be more than just friends.Harley Cross is the redheaded spitfire who has owned me since the first time I set foot on a race track in the streets. Her … track in the streets. Her mind is as quick as her mouth, and she’s shot down every advance I’ve ever made.
Until now.
Something has changed. I don’t know what it is, but I’d be a fool to ignore her, right?
It’s naïve to think Harley is doing anything besides fucking with me. It’s what she does. She reels you in and spits you back out once you’re all broken and busted and chewed up.
I won’t be her chew toy anymore. I can’t. My head and my heart can’t take it.
But no matter how sound the logic is to steer clear of her, I can’t stop my heart from aching for her. Or my body from wanting her. She’s poison, plain and simple. All it would take is one bite to ruin me. One taste to crumble my resolve.
So I must resist.

A story that has it all. Very well written. Nice storyline and plot. Writing style very captivating and describing as if it was reality. Characters well defined and they develop nicely through the story. I like it is written in dual POV because that gives the reader more of the thoughts and feelings of the characters.
A mix of romance, steam, erotic, action, drama and twists.
Absolutely a story that I will recommend to others.
Wow!! Ali Parker’s Outsmarting Time (The Streets Book 3) is a fantastic continuation of The Streets Series. Loved, loved Rick and Harley’s steamy story. It was also good to read about the rest of the characters from two previous books. This is filled with drama, danger, lust, love and a HEA. I definitely recommend this series and author. I have voluntarily read and reviewed this advanced readers copy. I give it a 5+.
Mason, Benji, Rick, and the gang are back in this drama filled conclusion to The Streets trilogy. Rick is back in New York from L.A. (where he fled to heal his broken heart) with a new enemy in tow. Harley has finally opened her eyes and decides to stop living in fear of love. Outsmarting Time was filled with danger, drama, laughter, passion, and love. Outsmarting Time from Ali Parker was well written and all 3 stories flowed and tied together nicely. Wonderful characters readers will fall in love with and can’t get enough of. A fantastic and captivating story readers won’t want to put down.

As Rick and Harley navigate their new relationship, they must fight a street racer bent on revenge against Rick. Can Rick and Harley defeat Torq before he creates too much havoc in their lives? I love how fiercely independent Harley is and always has Rick’s back. Rick is a pure alpha male who protects those he loves. The chemistry between Rick and Harley is sizzling hot!

I was waiting for Harley and Rick’s story since the first book in this series. It definitely didn’t disappoint. Harley is one badass female character. I liked how strong she was and confident in what she wants. As for Rick, I have to admit at first I felt bad for him and felt like Harley wanted him just as a second best to his brother. I’m glad that wasn’t the case in the end and that she realised Rick was the one from the beginning. They were really perfect for each other!
The scenes with whole crowd together were great and I loved banter between Mason, Rick and Benji. I’ll definitely miss this crowd. Overall, a perfect ending for this must read series. I gladly recommend it.

The final book in The Streets series and was well worth the wait. Rick has had a thing for Harley for quite awhile but she would always flirt with his brother. Rick moves away and Hayley realizes she has feelings for him. This was well written, has wonderful characters with an HEA ending. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
We finally get Rick and Harley’s story. She has shot him down so many times. Murphy’s law has plagued him since he left home not to mention one spoiled immature man who is causing all kinds of problems for him and Harley now that he is back in town. There is a lot of closure for some characters and this nonstop action story has a lot of drama that will keep you tuned into the pages until the very last page. I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book foe an honest review.
Rick has been in love with Harley for five years. She realizes too late that Rick is the one that she really wants, but he has left town and has been gone for nine months. When he returns, Torq, a racecar driver from LA is all over his case, wanting to beat him up, because he cost him a race with buckets of money and a car. Torq sent his goons to beat up Rick several times along his trip back to New York and now he is in New York to put him down for good. Harley and Rick are together now and could not be happier. Their chemistry is off the charts hot, smokin, sizzling, you get the idea. They are just so cute together, so in love like teenagers with their first love. Torq is not over his hatred for Rick, and has come to New York to finish him. In the meantime, how badly is he going to hurt Rick?
Outstanding action. Nail biting drama. You feel like you are in the car is with them. You can actually feel their anger. Such an awesome book. You won’t be able to put it down. I just love this book. Rick is just so cute and so in love with Harley.
Love this story about second chances and fast cars. Rick try to forget Harley after years of been in love with her with no chances of her loving him. After he left Harley finally figure he was the one for her but it took time to come back to his hometown and no after been told to leave or face the sore looser Torq rad. Rick left Los Angeles trying to stay away from Torq, but on the way back to New York he found him and rough him up a couple of times, but the best way to beat him was in the race. Rick went bac to New York to The Streets the underground races and he beat Torq fare and square even dough Torq try to make him crash at the end of the 3rd race. Torq flip his car and Rick saved him taking him out of the mangle car before the cops got to the scene. Harley and Rick finally had their HEA. Loved it so much I could not put it down.
Finally a happy ending for Harley and Rick! Great story full of fast cars, drama and great friends!
Sigh! This was the perfect way to close out the series. I have been impatiently waiting to see Rick and Harley get their happy ever after. Rick escaped across the country to get away from his feelings for Harley, but nothing is going as planned. He’s forced to return home, fleeing ahead of a spoiled man-child determined to make him pay for his success on the streets of LA. Once he’s back, he and Harley have to fight for their lives and livelihoods as well as figure out their feelings for one another before one vengeful competitor tears their worlds apart. I loved Harley. I love a strong leading lady who can be fierce and independent without being an overbearing cow about it. And Rick. My heart broke for him in the previous books every time Harley shot him down. I loved watching her realize and see him as more than just Mason’s little brother; to see the noble, caring man that he is. I’m just not ready to say goodbye to these characters. I don’t know how they’d do it, but I’d love to see the series continue.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
What a great way to finish up this series. We watch as Harley and Rick finally get their happy ever after. Even though it came with a price. Racing has always been both of their scenes but when things just get to be to much for Rick he finds himself across the country and in the biggest race of his life…to stay alive. Things move fast as he heads home and Harley is there waiting. Time moves forward as they finally decide to make it work and finish off this race season with a bang. This story had us on the edge of our sits and wanting to yell for Rick but in the end everything comes full circle. Happiness is found. I give it 5 stars.
