The Streets #1
Outracing Demons
Hot. Fast. Dangerous.
Only two things are capable of sating my racing and women.
I’m a devil behind the wheel, and there isn’t another man in New York City who can beat me.
Nor any dumb enough to try.
But there was a woman who could. My ex-wife, Evie.
And she did. Messed me up real good.
Thanks to her, I gave up my dream of racing, but I can’t run from fate forever.
The evil bastards at her side have taken over the underground racing scene, but I’m diving back in deep.
With my focus on the road, the last thing I need is a distraction, but that’s just what Laina is.
My best friend’s little sister feels off limits, until she isn’t.
Perfect curves and a smile that could melt hearts, this woman has me wanting to say yes from the start.
She’s relentless and drives me mad with the desire to be bad one more time—just for her.
I might be outracing demons, but I’m not running from anything.
Not me. Not ever again.
This is a stand-alone series. Each book can be read separate of the others, though the experience is enhanced when read in order. HEA Guaranteed.

Sexy Fast & Furious!
Mason wants to reclaim his title as "Street King" and during the process begins a relationship with his best friends sister, Laina.
It's an easy action packed read. Mason and Laina have great chemistry and their characters are easy to like. The whole underground racing scene kept me entertained.
My only con was that all the books conflict was about Mason's racing. His relationship with Laina never hit any bumps. Even the "best friends sister" trope was flat.

Awesome
Absolutely loved Alaina and Mason’s story. I was pulled in from the very beginning. A love story that took a hold of my heart and took it on a sweet journey. It had action, danger, fear suspense and chemistry, yet left me with a feeling of gentle arms of love holding me. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a great love story.

Power House Reading
This book is gripping and addictive. A small group of family and friends coming together to win races. The action is nail biting, the plot exciting, the sex hot and the characters strong and resilient. I read plenty and this has been one of the best.

I Voluntarily Read This As An Arch!
Mason Thomas is a street racer who took a few months off to recover from some people trying to kill his brother and his leaving him. His brother Rick shows up at his house with a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback and that changes everything. Mason decides that its time to get back into racing and show those jerks how to race properly. On Saturday night when he gets to the racing site he notices the flag girl. He can't keep his eyes off her little does he know he knows her. She walks up to him and he's blown away by the fact that its his best friend's Benji's little sister Lania. All he can do is sit there and wonder when she grew up.
Lania Harris is the flag girl and Benji Harris's little sister and has had a crush on mason for years but never thought she get her chance with him. She has to leave to start the race. All she thinks about the whole time is hot Mason is.
All I can say for this book is that it very fast paced and it never stops not once. There is so much sexual chemistry in it that its smoking hot. The street racing is awesome and I can't wait for another book.

I know it hasn’t been that long, but I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to find out where the rest of this story goes after having read the prequel, What Lies Beneath, a year ago in Dangerous Desires. The sharp left turn the story took off the line made me realize how much of that prequel I’d forgotten in all that time. But that’s okay because this story took me for a ride I wasn’t willingly going to give up. I already knew I loved Mason before I even cracked open this book, so I was very happy to see him paired with someone like Laina. She’s sweet and feisty, with a heart of gold and is as fierce as a mother lion in defense of the people she cares about. I can’t wait to see what’s coming for Rick and Benji now.

Really really loved this! I'm not into racing, cars, or the Fast and the Furious franchise. Like, at all. Cars bore me. Yet this author made it an exciting backdrop for this contemporary romance story. Not only that but the way she writes makes me feel secure, like she knows what she's talking about. Great research and she put the work in to bring it to life.
Very typical and basic contemp romance plot. Mason is a genuinely good guy, safe to fall for in every way, yet aggressively male, bold and rash, a risk taker, so, he's exciting and appealing. Laina too is full of the stereotypical tropes; sweet and caring, looking for love but not forceful, yet she's feisty and not afraid of a fight. Even the villains were those strange, amorphous bad guys who just do bad to be bad.
Yet, I don't have a bad thing to say about this. For all the boxes they tick, the author is very good at breathing life into everybody, even brief introductions. The characters were relatable, fun and entertaining to read about, and when the stakes got high, I cared about what happened to them. And the narrative was phenomenal, letting the characters move and tell the story, while keeping the internal dialogue engaging. I picked this up on a whim and was not expecting much. Yet now, I feel like anytime I am in the mood for a contemporary romance, something fun and easy yet still telling a great story with enjoyable characters, I'd definitely try another title by Ali Parker.

Street Racing is exciting and dangerous, all on its own, but when you add in two men that will do anything, and I mean anything, to win, you have a page turner. There is also Mason, also known as "Street King", and his best friend's little sister, Laina, that provides their own heat, and it has nothing to do with the heat coming from their tires. Then, there is the author, Ali Parker, that takes this story out of her head and puts it down on paper, and using only words, will paint you a picture of what is happening, and pull you into it, and keep you there, from beginning to end. I loved reading this book, and therefore, I recommend that you read it too.

He has something to prove not only to himself but to the woman that took the love he had for her and threw it aside for someone else. Mason is out to take back what was rightfully his before his brother was injured. What he didn't need was a distraction by way of his best friend's little sister. Laina has the promise of everything he can hope for in a woman providing he takes the leap again. The question is will he? This is a high-octane fuel injected story that will have your heart pumping and you cheering for Mason and Laina! I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.

Loved it!
I’ve never read a book like this before and this one made me a HUGE fan.
The writing is smooth and so easy to get into. I loved all of the characters and I’m looking forward to reading more from this series, this author.
Mason & Laina had amazing chemistry and I loved her spunky, feisty attitude. She was a little bit bada$$! lol
There was enough action and thrills in this one that it kept me completely captivated and I finished it in a day! Could not put it down.
Highly recommend this one.

I am a huge fan of the car racing trope so I was expecting a lot of diving into this novel and it didn't disappoint. I love the heat, and intensity of the rivalry between Mark, Sid, and Mason. The spice between the main lead, Mason, and Laina is top-notch. Rick and Benji are great guys, I liked how supportive they were of Mason. Evelyn is annoying as shit so never mind. Harley is badass, I love her! The Streets is fun and dangerous, I dig it so much. Good one, Ali💯🔥

Reads like a fast and furious movie
Laina and Mason feel secondary to the fast cars and the past that plagues them all, but it was still a great read. I loved the fast and the furious movies and this kind of felt like one of those. A little too much, especially the ending, but hey! It was still with the read.

OMFG!! I could NOT put this down!!
It was the first book I read written by Ali Parker and it did not disappoint. It had all things I like: cars, street races, witty banter, some badass women and hot charming bad boys!
I could legit feel the adrenaline every time they raced, and just I want more and more of Mason, Laina and the whole gang.
I can't wait to read the next book of this series!!!

Doesn't disappoint
Mason's demons were quite a few - between life and memories. His ex did a number on him, especially as her new lover shot his brother in the head. His best friend's little sister is a great woman and feisty, perfect to help Mason outrace his demons. Wonderful tale.

Damn Good
Really liked the storyline, it's definitely what drew me in. The characters had chemistry and loved the angst from the racing. Great build up, it flowed well and ended how I wanted it to.

Reminded me a lot of Need for Speed or The Fast and Furious, racer finds girl, gets in the bad books with other racers, battle ensures on and off road, racer wins and humiliates bad guys taking over the race scene for good, all while falling in love with the flag girl!
