From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.Copenhagen, Denmark. In the City of Spires, everything is spiraling out of control.My latest project has trouble written all over her. And it’s my favorite kind: lush curves; full, kissable lips; and a wicked smile that promises a million sins. But Christina Kaarsberg is a whole new gamble. She’s a princess—as … Kaarsberg is a whole new gamble. She’s a princess—as in the Danish royal family. And if I make one mistake, my International Guy business will be royally screwed.
There’s a lot more riding on this job than just a woman who needs help. Not only do I have to tame this soon-to-reign bad girl but I also have to convince her to marry the crown prince and accept her rightful place as the next queen of Denmark.
It turns out that our sexy little princess is playing a game. I just need to figure out which rules to follow…and which ones to break.

International Guy is a new series from Audrey Carlan. It features The Dream Maker, Parker Ellis; The Love Maker, Bo Montgomery & Royce Sterling, The Money Maker. Three boyhood friends who came up the idea of International Guy while at college. The premise of their company is to provide whatever support their mainly female clients need whether its regarding their personal appearance, matters of the heart or financial advice. Really their job is to give their clients the confidence to reach their full potential.
For the third book in the International Guy series the action moves to Copenhagen where their latest client is none other than a member of the Danish Royal family. Princess Christina was due to marry Crown Prince Sven, her childhood sweetheart but for some reason she’s decided her sister would make a far better Queen than she ever could so in a desperate attempt to prove this to Sven she’s become the darling of the paparazzi in an effort to force him to marry her sister instead. It’s obvious she still loves her prince so Parker has to get to root of her sudden transformation before she does something she’ll regret.
After loving the first book and then feeling something was lacking in the New York instalment, this third Book is right back up there for me, although this author has the habit of creating secondary characters that I want to know more about. Surely we haven’t heard the last of Elizabeth, Christina’s older sister? If anyone needs the help of International Guy Inc. it’s her.
Now it’s next stop Milan where some models need their help so, in that case, here’s hoping for more of Bo ‘The Love Maker’ Montgomery.
Copenhagen brings Parker to solve a royally big issue. How to convince a Princess she must marry the Crown Prince — seems like it should be simple… but nothing is as it seems between this royal pairing. Parker will have to get down and deep into their broken souls to fix this issue! Honestly, I want to just keep gobbling up these novellas!
PS Though these are novellas, they aren’t super short in the slightest! Though I do read them quickly!
Read this in Volume 1. Reviewed there.
Les aventures de Parker Ellis le mène désormais à Copenhague dans un nouveau contexte plus que royal. Si vous avez lu mes précédentes chroniques, vous savez que je suis Team Skyler et j’ai donc abordé ce nouveau tome avec de grandes craintes quant à l’attitude de notre Dream Maker.
Parker Ellis ne parvient donc pas à mettre une étiquette sur son attachement à Skyler que nous avons la joie de la retrouver en filigrane puis en chair et en os à la fin de ce tome. Le lecteur a compris ce qui se tramait et même Bo ou Roy le sentent aussi mais impossible d’ouvrir les yeux sur ses sentiments. Il est marqué par son passé et il est évident qu’il n’est pas prêt à accorder sa confiance facilement. C’est assez ironique d’ailleurs étant donné qu’il est lui même amené à rencontrer des femmes de pouvoir et d’une beauté époustouflante. La tentation sera donc de mise à chaque mission et il s’agira donc de résister. Parker ne m’a pas déçu dans ce tome car je craignais qu’il n’agisse avec Christina comme il avait pu le faire avec Sophie mais heureusement ce n’est pas le cas. Pour les fans de Sophie , sachez qu’elle est également présente et qu’elle gardera un bon lien avec Parker .
Notre International Guy va donc partir en terrain inconnu avec des protocoles qu’il ne maîtrise pas. A son arrivée, il sera accueilli par Henrik qui l’aidera à sa manière. Sa mission ne sera pas facile car si les sentiments sont là Christina campe sur ses positions. Il parviendra tout de même à s’entretenir avec le Prince Sven , futur roi du Danemark , qui offrira une superbe image de l’amour et du pouvoir. Cet homme, contrairement à Parker, est prêt à assumer ses sentiments tout en honorant ses responsabilités. La preuve d’amour qu’il donne fait rêver car il ne fait aucun doute qu’il aime profondément Christina. Parker parviendra t-il à dénouer les noeuds des traditions royales,
La princesse Christina Kaarsberg est un sacré personnage qui va donc donner du fil à retordre à notre héros. Cette dernière va tout mettre en oeuvre pour donner une image très négative d’elle même
alors qu’elle a juste peur de ne pas être à la hauteur. Christina est l’incarnation même du sacrifice que ce soit envers Sven ou encore sa soeur Elizabeth. Je vous avoue que cette dernière m’a vraiment surprise et je n’ai pas apprécié ses agissements . Je n’ai pas tout de suite compris ses motivations surtout qu’elle aussi a connu le grand amour . Sans le savoir , je pense qu’elle exerce une pression sur sa soeur qui voit en elle l’héritière parfaite. Quand nous découvrons le vrai visage de Christina nous ne pouvons qu’être admirative de son courage, sa détermination et sa dévotion. Acceptera t-elle le destin qui l’attend?
Bref, j’ai passé de nouveau un bon moment avec Parker Ellis dans cette nouvelle mission qui nous offre une belle image de l’amour sous toutes ses formes. Espérons que notre Dream Maker parvienne à appliquer ses propres conseils s’il ne veut pas perdre celle qui pourrait être la femme de sa vie. J’espère donc que dans le prochain tome, la lumière se fasse plus sur Lovemaker ou Moneymaker.

I need to do this not only for me but Christina and Sven, I can’t loose IG’s reputation on this job.
Another 5* awesome book by Audrey this is going to be a huge hit.
Copenhagen by Audrey Carlan is the third book in her brand new twelve novella length series, International Guy . A series I was a little worried about reading because I initially had the impression that Parker Ellis was a cad and a womanizer. I soon learned that he is a dedicated businessman, best friend, and a devoted son who doesn’t take his emotional entanglements lightly but is NOT yet ready to settle down.
In Copenhagen, Parker has just left the side f the woman he has become completely infatuated with, Skyler Paige, an A-list actress and his client. They agree to keep it casual and to see each other when they can. She has her mojo back after all thanks to International Guy and a movie scheduled to start filming soon and Parker is headed to Copenhagen to handle a wild princess, another refrral from Perfume Mogul Sophie. What happens in Copenhagen is heartwarming and pushes Parker even further away from the cad status I initially pegged him with.
Sexy, intense, and a very well-written and enjoyable read. Told almost entirely from Parker’s POV, this book keeps you interested in the International Guy organization and desperate to know just what on earth is going on in Parker’s head. Up next is International Guy: Milan scheduled to release on July 24, 2018. Enjoy!
Oh my goodness! This is quintessential Audrey Carlan in her happy writing place. This takes me back to when Calendar Girl was first coming out and I fell in love with Audrey and her books.
Meeting the men of International Guy you really get the insight into what might make them tick and what led them to being the “makers” they are.
Parker “Dream Maker” Ellis is the leading man of IG and also our main protagonist throughout our world journey.
Bogart “Bo” “Lovemaker” Montgomery is the man that can woo any woman and helps them find their own love.
Royce “Moneymaker” Sterling who is the business guru of the trio. He is able to look at a company or situation and provide in depth analysis for the best course of action.
In Copenhagen, Parker has been recruited to help out Princess Christina Kaarsberg, who in line to be the next heir to the throne of Denmark. The Princess has recently started partying and outright refused to the marriage proposal of the Crown Prince Sven. Parker has been instructed to convince Princess Christina to marry the prince. This also allowed us an insight into Parker and left us wanting more!
Carlan has given readers another great series to sink their teeth into! I could not get enough of my IG men and the women they are helping find their ways!

I again love that the solution to the problems are often making a woman feel valuable and needed. The author does a great job of pulling you into each story and making you want to read to the end with out stopping. I love Audrey’s writing style. If you are looking for a fun, easy read with some romance thrown in this is the book for you. I received this book from Netgalley and the Publisher in exchange for my honest review.

5 Stars
“Philosophers say everyone on earth has a gift, something unique to them. My gift . . . I understand women.”
I have really enjoyed many books by Audrey, but I think this series is going to jump towards the top of the list. What a lighthearted, easy read filled with humor, heart tugging moments, friendships and internal struggles.
“Part of life is taking the hits and learning how to live with the scars left behind.”
There is the perfect mix of alpha, friendship, lust, hope, trust, protector, culture, humor, chemistry and suspense sprinkled through these books.
“Friendships are like a bank account. We both make equal deposits and withdrawals to keep the account from going under or over.
I was so lost in the words while traveling through these different countries that I couldn’t believe I had read through the first 3 books in one sitting. I just couldn’t get enough of The International Guy. Milan is up next and I can’t wait to see how the journey continues…
“Live your truth.”
These guys can turn any situation around! This time it’s with a princess. No romance for Parker, so I guess I was right that there will be more of him with the actress. How much more, I don’t know but I’m hopeful. Mostly enjoying the adventure element to this all. Helping out royalty- treating them just like anyone else. I mean what a unique little job these guys have created for themselves. I don’t have book four yet and I wouldn’t quite say this one left in a cliffhanger, but definitely with some worries as to Parker’s eventual happy ever after.
ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review
Ugh, not more of Parker, Parker, Parker again – though at least this time he isn’t hitting on his clients, so I guess that is something.
This time we have a troubled princess as our client, and I felt for her so much.
I felt for her for her familial obligations, I felt for her and her hurting heart. I got frustrated with her at times, however I could understand why she did things she did.
I was glad that even though, again, this was Parker (and I am still not over how I felt about him in book 2) it wasn’t so much of him this time.
I did love the he is still in contact with Skyler, though he was a bit douchey with some things there too – but this could just be me 🙁
After the second book, I wasn’t sure that I would be continuing on after the 3rd that I already had, but now I know I will as I need to find out more about Bo and Royce.
What is it like to be a princess? Doesn’t every girl want to meet her prince? Is royalty overrated? You will find out the answers to these questions and so much more in Copenhagen.
What if the fairytale isn’t like what you grew up believing?? Your heart and who you actually love should out way obligation right? Maybe being a princess isn’t all it’s cracked up to be! Own your future and fight for what’s right for you. I truly believe in soulmates and Audrey reminded me why in this installment!
I can’t wait to keep reading this series and going city to city with these amazing friends! This is going to be a wicked hot summer with all this yummy goodness! I couldn’t stop turning the pages! I would give this 10 stars if I could. Audrey has really out done herself with this sizzling new series!
Copenhagen (International Guy #3) by Audrey Carlan is the third novella in the twelve novella International Guy series. The series follows Parker Ellis, co-owner and operator of International Guy Inc., as he and his partners, Bo and Royce, cater to elite clientele.
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark
On the job: Parker
Client: Princess Christina Kaarsberg (technically her mother, Princess Mary Kaarsberg)
Assignment: Tame Princess Christina’s wild behavior, prepare her to marry Crown Prince Sven, and convince her to accept her rightful place as the next queen of Denmark.
Princess Christina is convinced that she would not make a good queen. Her sister, Princess Elizabeth would make the perfect queen, so Prince Sven should marry her instead. But he wants Princess Christina or he won’t marry. Parker helps the princess see her worth.
Parker and Skyler keep in touch by phone, texts, calls, and facetime. While she’s filming a movie, Parker experiences jealousy over her male costar. He invites Skylar to be his date for the royal wedding and meets her at the airport. When she arrives, they kiss while the paparazzi take pictures. Skylar meets Sophie at the reception. She struggles with jealousy and insecurity over her friendship with Parker. She overhears Parker tell Sophie that he’s that he and Skylar are just having fun and screwing. She gets upset because she doesn’t want to be just a good time girl, a nice lay, but she does not express any of this to Parker.
In the third installment of the International Guy series, we travel with Parker to Copenhagen. Here, Parker is tasked with assisting Princess Christina in finding her way back to her true love, Crown Prince Sven.
When Parker first meets Christina she is playing to the paparazzi and the tabloids that she is a royal party girl. As Parker gets to know Christina, he learns there’s much more to her than the image she is portraying, as well as why she’s portraying that image.
I really felt for Christina and her struggle to do what she felt was right for her family, her country, and Sven. And it was easy to feel the love between Christina and Sven. They were definitely soulmates who were meant to be.
We also see Parker and Skyler’s relationship progress the tiniest bit, and then taking a huge step in the last two chapters, but in which direction?
After reading this third novella, I feel that this series has hit it’s stride, and I am looking forward to the next adventure in Milan.
Now I understand–there is a series long story arc, and each book is a subplot. So relieved to find out that Parker is not just a bed hopping gigolo. And so glad that I didn’t abandon the series before reading book 3.
I liked this story. Fairly simplistic but satisfying. The Skylar story arc is what will keep bringing me back at this point. These books are all quick easy reads so you can barrel through them in a day or two.
