I received a free copy of the full-length novel One Hot Summer book 3:RULE BREAKER BY ACCIDENT by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
Drama, wonderful characters, and realism are blended with the author’s literary license to weave this twisted, complex, and at times unethical conclusion to the series. The circle closes as new acquaintances and past friends meet. The introverted and virgin waitress Olive, the last of the NY transplanted trio, leaves her empty nest and finds her own reformed bad boy in the form of Heart surgeon Rylen, who just happened to have a past that involved Olive’s friends’ significant others.
Omg. I loved this book. So, so glad Olive got her man.
Wow what a steamy storyline. Rylan was such a hottie too. Wouldn’t have minded him as my Doctir. So glad the three friends all got their HEAs.
Here is the third book in the series by the fabulous best selling author, Ali Parker. I think the storyline was well thought out and that bit ‘different’ to hook my attention and I loved Rylen, the hero and a superb cardiac surgeon. He’s al alpha male certainly but he is also so caring and loving although he does have a ‘dark’ secret that he is not willing to share with anyone he doesn’t know well. He meets Olive, the ‘heroine’in this story who is rather immature and self absorbed. She is in her twenties and still doesn’t know what she wants to do so is waitressing until she discovers what she wants to do with her life. She meets She sees Rylen at the hospital when she goes to visit a friend who has just had a baby and she is attracted to him. They later meet at a party and begin to date. He tells her of his secret without telling her what it is but that he will at some point [why mention it?] As I said she is rather immature and is insulted that he won’t tell her his secret and so dumps him!? See what I mean about her? I really did enjoy the story and it was only Olive’s narcissistic nature and a nurse,Edgar, whose behaviour seems to radically change for no apparent reason that makes me give this only a 4 stars. BUT, I look forward with anticipation for more of Ali’s spectacular stories in the future! I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Definitely recommended.
Ms. Parker has just released the 3rd book to this fantastic Series and it is a must read. There is something so wonderful about her writing style that gets to you. For example, at one point in this book, I was actually teary eyed. To me, it takes a special kind of Author to reach reader’s with her words, and Ms. Parker possesses this creativity in spades. This publication has a terrific storyline and the engaging characters to match, with Rylen and Olive. Who knew that visiting her friend, after giving birth, would lead to Olive’s much deserved happily ever after, with the Surgeon of her dreams. These are two main characters that have so much pain in their pasts, but together, while taking a chance, they can/will heal. Overall, Rule Breaker by Accident is a book filled with so ‘much’ more then a just romantic plot. These are two strong willed individuals might be opposites, but attract all the same they do… all while complementing each other. I couldn’t put this impressive release down and managed to read in one sitting.
I voluntarily requested an advanced reader’s copy of Rule Breaker By Accident in exchange for my honest opinion and I highly recommend reading this book as well as the entire Series.
Rylen is now a surgeon in the OR. He’s hiding secrets from his past.
Olive is taken with Rylen, but he’s a client.
Will it just be a fling?
Or will she break her rule?
This is the third book in the One Hot Summer series. This was well written, has wonderful characters and an interesting storyline. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Rylen and Olive seemed miles apart when they met. He, a renowned heart surgeon and her a waitress. However, there is no accounting for the laws of attraction, and the sparks were both immediate and intense. However there is a darkness in Rylen past that threatens the very foundation of Olives beliefs about love. Honesty is the most important thing in any relationship is her mantra. But there are things Rylen doesn’t feel he can share. ……
I absolutely loved Rylen he was perfect, sweet, caring, a little bit of alpha mixed in there. Olive was a cute character with the perfect amount of shyness yet she does show us she has a backbone and will take up for her friends no matter what. I loved how Rylen helped and pushed Olive out of her comfort zone but he was never too pushy or overbearing he was sweet about it all and helped her so much. One thing I didn’t like was his secret, only because Olive acted like he was doing something so horrible by not telling her when he seriously couldn’t and even told her that he would tell her one day but he honestly couldn’t that day. One they weren’t together long enough for her to act like his secret was a big no no and two I felt she was more curious about the details of his secret and not the fact that he had one. Also I didn’t like how her friends told her the secret and she went back to him to ask for details. I just feel Rylen was constantly caring, kind, and understanding of her that she didn’t offer him the same at that one moment and it almost cost them their relationship. Overall great read and glad we got to see more of the other characters from the series.

I received an advanced readers copy of this book and I am happily leaving my review.
The third book in the series brings Olive and Rylen’s story with Olive being the last of three friends to find love. Their characters are strong and well developed and the story flows quickly and smoothly. The author gives them an instant attraction and hot chemistry and weaves an intriguing story filled with tons of emotion and a cast of strong supporting characters. It’s well written and had me hooked from start to finish. I enjoyed and would recommend this book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
This was a terrifically well written story about second chances, finding the one, and making lasting friendships. Olive is a waitress turned receptionist for a criminal lawyer. Rylen is a heart surgeon at the local hospital. When these two officially meet, the attraction is intense yet because of pasts or their own preconceived notions they decide to enter a no strings attached relationship, until that no longer works for them. Rule Breaker by Accident is filled with secrets, a planned jail break by death, heartache, passion, friendships, and love. This is a captivating must read with wonderful characters readers will fall in love with. I absolutely loved this new novel from Ali Parker. I really hope Rayce gets his own story.
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this novel.”

One Hot Rule Breaker…. STAT!
Rylen and Olive stole a bit of my heart with their story. Olive is the last of the three friends (Heidi and Valerie were in prior books) to find her HEA. Rylen, a once bad boy turned respected heart surgeon takes Olive on a wonderful experience where she not only loses her heart, but her v-card.
I had a hard time putting this book down because I just wanted to keep reading. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.
So in this third book it’s Olive’s story. She meets Rylen a surgeon and their relationship starts. These characters have overcome hard situations in their past and look to the future, even if there are obstacles to resolve. I love the passion and the interesting storyline the author has spun. I am voluntarily leaving my review of this ARC.
I really loved the characters Olive and Rylen. Well written and a great storyline, a mix of romance, drama. I enjoyed this very much and would recommend this book.
I enjoyed this story! It’s entertaining with wonderful drama. The story has an interesting plot that is well developed with good characters. Rylen and Olive’s story is a captivating story that keeps you hooked until the ending.
