From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.My name is Parker Ellis. Making other people’s dreams a reality is what I do. It’s what I live for. Then I met Skyler Paige. She’s my every fantasy come to life, my dream woman. Regardless, that doesn’t mean I’m going to turn my back on clients who need International Guy’s services. I’m ready for it all—as my … ready for it all—as my journey continues in three new cities: Milan, San Francisco, and Montreal.
International Guy Inc. is owned and operated by Parker Ellis, a ladies’ man with a high IQ and a big libido. He’s the most successful life and love coach in the world, and he’s smart enough to know he can’t run a multimillion-dollar company alone.
He hires two friends whose areas of expertise complement his own. They comprise The Dream Maker, The Love Maker, and The Money Maker. Together, they advise the wealthiest people in the world: Hollywood hotshots, European royalty, and the CEOs of multibillion-dollar companies. And sometimes they can’t help it when things heat up and they end up in bed with their clients. Quite literally.
This International Guy likes his playboy lifestyle, and he’s not looking for commitment. After all, there’s a whole world waiting for him. But as he goes from city to city, and from woman to woman, it’s possible that he just might find his own love along the way…
This volume includes the fourth, fifth, and sixth International Guy novellas.

This series is exceptional, entertaining and amazingly written. Audrey Carlan showed us again her writing skills. That stream of words that flows from her pen is brilliant.
The journey continues. Except the boys aren’t alone anymore. They’ve got support of their genius PA Wendy. That woman has got skills, it should be illegal…. and she became a sister from another mister to all of them. Family forever.
In between Parker is falling in love with Skylar – that actress he saved from selfdestruction but the path of their new relationship is unbelievably stony. Trust issues and jealousy due are in their way.
Milan – the city of fashion – Bo and Parker helps with fashion show of sexy lingerie for every kind of woman….bring women, knowing absolutely nothing about modelling, to a fashion show with their beauty and sensuality owning the stage.
San Francisco – to seek the perfect mate for owner of financial imperium. Open her eyes to see what is right in front of her. Roy falling in an instant lust but in the end seeing this woman is anything but perfect for him.
Montreal – to find leaks and stealing of trade secrets – this one was a hard nut to crack for the whole IG team. And the end….
I am totally in love with these series folks. I devoured every single word. I am even more hungry for what’s going to come….. hurry up Volume 3.
MILAN: 3 Stars
I didn’t read the first lot of 3 stories before these ones and do recommend you do to get the background.
Parker is the CEO of IG a business he runs advising the wealthiest people in the world on love and life.
This time he’s in Milan to lend his help for a fashion show, lingerie for real woman.
His relationship with Skyler becomes exclusive and they have to battle the paparazzi relentless pursuit into their relationship. I think we all know how brutal social media can be and dating an a-list celebrity cannot be easy.
I find the guys Parker, Bogart and Royce to be annoying frats boys.
I didn’t care for them to be honest.
SAN FRANCISCO: 4 Stars
Parker and Royce are heading to San Francisco, helping a wealthy client to find a man.
Royce had a flirty smirk on his face which to me and I know Parker noticed spells trouble. Royce has done his homework and seems to know everything about Rochelle their client.
The chemistry between Royce and Rochelle is palatable.
As Rochelle lists her must have, one leaves Royce out of the running. Parker not keen on Royce lusting after Rochelle but seriously what can he do, he slept with two of their client, one being Skyler.
I do like Parker and Skyler in this one they seem to have found their groove. The job was successful and a job well done. They found the client a good man. However, things are not so well for Parker and Skyler.
I did find I liked guys in this story, always there for each other and treat each other like brothers.
MONREAL: 2 Stars
The guys are heading to Montreal.
Cyber-tech company CEO wants them to ferret out a rat in her company who’s selling secrets.
Unfortunately, this one was my least favorite.
The CEO Alexis was, in my opinion, shameless flirt and completely unprofessional.
After the last book, Skyler and Parker relationship comes to a screeching halt. Due to him being a dumb ass he becomes a whiny bitch pretty much throughout the whole book.
Audrey Carlan continues to out do herself. Volume 2 has the next 3 books in the series – Milan, San Francisco and Montreal. Through out these three books, we continue the journey of Parker and Skyler’s new relationship and how they deal with the stresses of her life and his past. It also continue to show the brotherhood between Parker, Royce and Bo. We also get to find out more about Wendy and the “sister”she has come to be to the guys. There is a “cliff hanger” moment at the end of San Francisco- making me very glad that I had the next book. I can’t wait for the next book to see where their adventures take them .
AUDREY CARLAN
MILAN: INTERNATIONAL GUY BOOK 4
5 Stars
“Live your truth.”
When you are reading this series 5 Stars is just not enough! This has become one of my all time favorite series. I love the characters, writing style, the emotions that come from the reading and of course the guys! I patiently (drumming fingers, pacing, constantly refreshing the screen) awaited Volume 2’s release…as expected…I was NOT disappointed!
“Firsts should always be sealed with a kiss.”
This book continues with the brotherhood, loyalty, empowering women through Milan (which I loved), humor, self discovery and some steaminess.
“Home isn’t always a place. It’s a feeling.”
Headed to San Francisco Next…I actually just vacationed there a few months ago so I’m hoping I can visual the story from a different perspective.
********************
SAN FRANCISCO:
INTERNATIONAL GUY BOOK 5
“Love is tricky; it doesn’t follow rules and regulations, and people don’t wear signs over their heads saying ‘compatible.”
Ahhhh this series keeps getting better. The more you get to know the IG’s the more they seem like close friends and family. You feel you are a part of their story. You hurt when they hurt, laugh with their humor and want to revenge the hurt bestowed upon one of them or someone they care for.
“…this is family. When one of us gets hurt, all of us get hurt.”
This book is filled with twist and turns. Just when you think you have a handle on everything the story takes you on a different journey. You will be cheering, hurting, laughing, angry, hopeful, praying for revenge and even healing.
“Nothing in life is smooth sailing. Sometimes we have to make our own waves in order to move forward.”
I’m looking forward to MONTREAL: INTERNATIONAL GUY BOOK 6. I’m hoping it includes some of the storyline that was in San Francisco and brings some insight to certain characters (sorry no spoilers from me)!
Want.What.You.Have
**********************
MONTREAL: INTERNATIONAL GUY BOOK 6
“I thought she was mine. I held all of her beauty and what I believed was her soul in my heart.”
This series gets better with each book. I’m not sure if it’s solely the storyline or you feel you know the characters more from the previously developed stories…you want them to be your real life friends and chosen family.
“Your mouth is coming up with all kinds of excuses, but your body is responding to me.”
This book had me an emotional mess. Of course there is humor intertwined in the devastation, betrayal, suspense and mystery that Montreal brings to us.
“And like all dreams can do, mine so easily turned into a nightmare.”
I’m looking forward to the next adventure in London: International Guy Book 7!
International Guy Volume 2 picks up right where 1 left off. This book has the IG team traveling to Milan to train models, to San Francisco to help a wealthy CEO find a husband since she is tired of men coming after her for her money and to Montreal to find a mole in a tech company. Parker and Bo work with the models since they are needing a confidence boost and to be made to realize they are beautiful even though they are not typical models. Royce and Parker partner together to find the CEO a husband and find an embezzler. The entire team is needed in Montreal to find a mole in a tech company.
Volume 2 takes you all over the place emotionally. It includes love, lust and betrayal. We really get to know the characters better in this book. I love that Wendy is getting included as well. This series just keeps getting better and I can’t wait for the next book. Grab the first book and start reading.
In Milan, you start to get a better idea of how well rounded International Guy is. They can help in so many capacities! It’s so cute to see how Parker and Sky have jealousy streaks. With the lives they lead, I can see that being a recurring theme. It takes a lot of trust to have a long distance relationship. The bond Parker has with his coworkers and friends is enviable. I was smiling through most of this story!
San Fran-Things get really serious in this book. Not only do we start to get to know one of the men of International Guy better (finally- and hello Mr. Chocolate awesomesauce), but there’s a new problem Sky and Parker have to face. Their relationship is nothin but problems and they need to work on their reactions to everything! This ends on a low note, unfortunately.
Montreal- Things are getting way intense in this installment. Parker was making me mad! First of all, this dude is letting his past cloud his judgement. Plus, he’s such a mess, he’s not thinking clearly or making good decisions. Then there’s a shocking twist! I wonder if this is the direction the International Guy series is headed in and how many books there will be.
Milan by Audrey Carlan is the fourth 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.
Picking up after Copenhagen and some more developments into the relationship between Parker & Skyler, we next see Parker and Bo on their latest project in Milan. A lingerie fashion show featuring everyday women as models. A job that takes some insightful and sensitive work from the International Guy team and is a huge success.
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: San Francisco. Enjoy!

I instantly clear my schedule when this series has a new release. Filled with romance and adventure, these three tales will make you fall for the IG team even more, while keeping you on your toes. Each of the International Guy books are page-turners that you will embrace and immediately want more of. Audrey Carlan is an outstanding author and knows just how to captivate her readers!
I love this installment of International Guy! In Milan Skyler and Parker stole the show with how they define their relationship. Though Parker and Bo are in Milan helping a fashion designer turn real women into models, SkyPark is on fire the entire time! I love that the guys of IG are jack of all trades and that they are making women feel sexier, more confident, better and they are doing it with style and care. I love the interaction that Parker has with the women in the fashion show because he is real and you can tell that he wants them to come into their own and flourish!
In San Francisco, we see Royce in great detail step out of his behind the scenes role. Royce is one sweet, hard-working sexy man that is searching for the love of his live. Coincidently the role that IG takes in San Fran is that of Matchmakers, his awesome is that! I seriously am enamored with the bond between Royce and Parker, they look out for each other even re is going to be backlash over opinions about each other’s lives. That right there is real friendship! Skyler and Parker are so in love, without the use of that word though…..then Skyler is threatened in a seriously sick way. Parker goes into action and wants to solve Skyler’s problem and he uses his resources at IG to help his girl out. By the end of this book, I was eccstatic that IG helped their client, but I was gutted by the events after. It is a fallout that is genius by Audrey because I didn’t see it coming. San Francisco leaves me with a NEED to read more because this story has captivated my mind and my heart!
Montreal takes the entire IG team to Canada. They are spies trying to find a mole in a successful company losing profit to competitors because of leaks. I enjoy how the team is so multi-faceted and how they attack the problems that they are facing are brilliant! They are so intelligent and their approaches captivate my attention fully! Parker is struggling in this book and my Heart goes out to him, then he makes me angry because I want him to man-up and talk! Communication is the key to any relationship. Montreal ends in a cliffhanger and I am chomping at The it for more because the IG Team will forever be changed. Argggggg, this series is effervescent, it gives you everything you could want and more and I want more…..so much more.
I am enjoying everything about International Guy…….I want to hire their company to help me! Audrey Carlan’s imagination knows no bounds and I for one am thankful to get to read this series. It is giving me more than I ever imagined!
The boys are back at it again, living large and helping woman be their best selves. This volume was a emotional rollercoaster, it had me feeling so much. LOVED it and can’t wait until the next one.
‘Brave The Ride’
Wow what an interesting story. The IG men head to Berlin to help a motor company with an advertising issue. Needless to say what they agree upon creating, is nothing if not perfect. Parker has to enlist help from Wendy’s fiance Michael and oh boy do things get very interesting. Seriously creative genuises at work
The Berlin trip is funny, entertaining and you really get a sense of the bond of family the IG men and friends have. Parker always has such profound words and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
There is also an element of suspense kind of behind the scenes and it’s racking my brain as to who it may be but isnt that the beauty of reading a story where you are so intrigued you are just chomping at the bit to find things out???
A great continuation of Parker’s story. It’s just like the first book and a rollercoaster ride that will leave you begging for more. This one also ends on a huge cliffhanger.
I love reading the adventures that the 3 men (and a lady) of International Guy are up to in these three stories…and they don’t disappoint. Is there nothing these men can’t assist on? They verge on moles, matchmaking and modeling. There’s even a little danger and some updates in IG’s love lives. Can’t wait to go on more adventures, and I love the world traveling!
Milan
Bo and Parker head off to make fashionistas out of the beautiful and bold ladies on the Italian coast. These woman are not your typical models with chiseled bods. They run the gamut and it’s our boys jobs to make they do a turn on the catwalk with all the sass and sashy they deserve to. In between next top model tips there are some heavy moments of strife with Parker, Skyer, and Sophie. Have love will travel indeed!
San Francisco
Royce and Parker are headed to Cali to do matchmaking. They should have it well in hand until Royce finds himself smitten with the delectable Rochelle. Too bad her list seems to disqualify him. The IG guys are nothing if not professionals though and if a match is what she wants a match is what she’ll have. Matchmaker matchmaker make her a match her her a find catch her a IG man catch her an IG man.
Montreal
Parker heads to Canada nursing a broken heart and trying to come to terms with Sky’s betrayal. A tech CEO Alexis needs his help to find a finky rat with her ranks and Parker will take the distraction especially in the form of the sexy on legs woman.
