Great
What are you suppose to do when you have a money hungry brother a forest dad and finally meet someone and that person may loose their job because of your brother.
This was a great book and I loved it and was sad when it ended in a cliffhanger. It’s the first of a three-part series and the other books are available now. Both of the main characters were sweet souls in many ways but both had family baggage that held them back. Blake and Ashton have explosive chemistry and seem made for each other. In many ways, their relationship is taboo in that he is technically her boss in that his family owns the hotel chain she works for, but he does not disclose that. Lots of drama as he deals with his family issues, a controlling brother, a sick father and lots of business choices. I thought it was a good book that was well-written but seemed a little drawn out and draggy at times. The characters were likable and the story was entertaining.
Loved the story. Loved the characters! Another recommendation.
Ali Parker has done it again
Aston, manager of a hotel branch, meets Blake, incognito VP of the hotel chain, when he makes a stealth visit to the branch at his father’s request. As the story progresses the lies continue to grow, tough decisions are made, and taking a stand might be the only way to survive. Ali Parker has done it again with her realistic characters and unpredictable plot twists, I had a hard time putting it down.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
My girl has done it again. Great book!!
this is another fantastic story by one of my favorite authors. It has wonderful characters, romance and intrigue. She was the new manager of a hotel and a virgin. She meets a man who asks her out. She doesn’t know he is the son of the billionaire owner of the hotel chain. Complications ensue, but the ending is great. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy.

A fantastic story about second chances and how one unexpected situation at the most inopportune time quickly becomes a gift giving realization that family and love are more important than work and money. Blake’s family owns a chain of hotels and he is tasked with making cuts from lower ranking hotels. Aston is a hotel manager from L.A. who may have to make cuts to her hotel. Attraction, lust, and a connection neither can explain quickly develops between the two. Stay the Night is filled with drama, fear, doubt, heartache, forgiveness, laughter, passion, and love. Ali Parker has created a well written story with a protective, charismatic, and compassionate hero and a courageous, heart of gold heroine that readers will fall in love with. A charming and heartwarming story that readers won’t want to put down.

Wow … Ms Parker provides her readers with great value in her well written stories. Additionally, she provides her readers with exceptional value for the privilege of reading her prose. I really liked the line, “… it looked to me like their suits wore them instead of the other way around.” The imagery this line evoked caused me to laugh out loud. This line was from some of the internal dialogue we are privy to of the main female character. This is an edgy read with lots of emotion exploded out and felt full force by the reader. For the main male character and his familial interchanges, it feels like you are watching a boxing match between the main male character and his elder brother, with their father quite literally in between the explosively verbal bantering of the brothers. Lucky Dad gets to act as a referee. There appears to be some sort of financial sabotage going on along with, perhaps, some unorthodox maneuvering in the family company that all men own and work for. The main female character is also an employee of their company. She meets the main male character at work under misleading actions on his part. There is a spark between these two that is kindled, warmed up and ignited. Their romantic tale is most certainly an eventful and adventuresome one.
Well worth the time it takes to read this very good novel!

I loved this story. Blake and Ashton’s characters were well written …actually in all of the characters you could see exactly what kind of personalities they had. I love the intensity of Blake both to work and also to Ashton.
The story will keep you entertained right to the end. As new number 1 by Ali Parker for me.
Wow!! What a roller coaster ride!! This is a long read, but it was crazy good. Such an emotional roller coaster story, with so many twists and turns. It kept my attention from the first page to the last. Characters were likeable and relatable. I definitely recommend reading this book.
Well developed storyline and two wonderfully charismatic characters keep this interesting and entertaining, Aston and Blake had great chemistry which shines through the pages.

When handsome Blake Carlton checks in to the hotel in California that Aston manages she is delighted. He’s really quite worth an extra look that has never bothered her in the past with any man. But she doesn’t realise that he has been sent there by his Dad who owns the hotel chain and so he’s her boss! Blake is very attracted to Aston but he usually never stays in one place more than a night or two – he hasn’t even got a home of his own as he travels so much for the business. But Aston claims his attention and he doesn’t want to leave. But when his older brother starts making changes that don’t make good business sense he has to leave without a word. Aston is hurt that he left without a word – little realising that he didn’t actually check out. When he returns he is determined to help her improve the hotel’s ratings otherwise she will be without a job and she is an excellent manager as well as the woman he desires beyond all others. As they become close emotions deepen and the chemistry between them is off the charts. Aston and Blake are such likeable characters [as well as his Dad and her best friend Tiffany] and very realistic. There are things about her that take away his breath and he worries about his secret. But then all changes when they find out that she’s pregnant and that his Dad has been admitted to the ICU. What will happen to the business with his brother at the helm and will their relationship survive the turmoil? This is so well written, as you’d expect, by the best selling author Ali Parker. She really knows how to compose a page turning novel that you just won’t want to put down. As it is so easy to read and her characters are so compelling it makes it all the harder to put down so is easier for me to just read, and finish, during the night. This is one book that I will be re-reading in the future as it was just so good! I look forward to Ali’s next book. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most Definitely Recommended.
