From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.London, England. International Guy is now in service to the queen—of romance novels.I’d heard of Geneva James, the smashingly sexy, phenomenally successful British author whose steamy novels make her readers’ fantasies real. Now she’s hard at work on her latest piece of sizzling fiction—or at least, would like to … sizzling fiction—or at least, would like to be. It turns out that a case of writer’s block is making it hard for Geneva to bring her latest book to its climax.
That’s where International Guy comes in.
She’s desperately in need of inspiration—and open to any kind of help International Guy can give her. Her entire career may be riding on how this fan-favorite story ends. The last thing she wants is to disappoint her fans. The last thing I want is to disappoint Geneva. Luckily, inspiring women is my specialty. Bringing Geneva out of her funk is business. It’s also going to be a pleasure. With my team in play, I have no idea how this story is going to end.

Audrey Carlan knows how to keep me invested in her characters and her stories and London is no exception. My heart was broken and I didn’t know how and when Audrey was going to put it back together again. She left us all wondering where this series was going to go and we were all pretty shaken up in Montreal and thank goodness London has arrived. We get some much needed answers that I could have screamed at her for making me wait for….who am I kidding? I did. Of course, she makes it worth the wait!
Every book Ms Carlan writes reminds me of the value of life and love and friendship. This story solidifies that fact more than ever before. Chapter two makes me cry and laugh and burst with love and feel everything you can imagine. This team of people is incredible and we should all be so lucky to have our own tribe like that to enhance our lives.
In every tragedy, we have to pick up our broken pieces and move forward so the hard parts of life don’t swallow us whole. Everyone experiences monumental moments in their life that change and shape the person you are and it’s extraordinary. Even shattered pieces of our heart can weave themselves back together as long as we live our life to the fullest. When I boil right down to it, every book teaches me something I didn’t even realize I needed at that point in my life which proves time and time again how fantastic of a story teller Audrey Carlan is.
Since the beginning of my review seems heavy, here is the lighthearted part, lol.
AC makes my heart sing in London. Who doesn’t know what it’s like to meet their favorite author and have a total fan girl moment? And if you haven’t met them yet, you imagine what it would be like. This story is sweet and endearing, but it is also spicy and hot….like panty melting hot. Geneva needs help fighting her writers block and she gets it in more ways than one with the help of Parker, Sky, and Bo. Wait until Sophie pops up and even more drama unfolds. You will swoon, laugh, sigh and be giddy as friends and lovers come together in a perfect blend of harmony that only Audrey Carlan can deliver.
Ok, London without a doubt made me wish I was a member of the IG team! Really, haven’t we all dreamed about meeting our unicorn author. Now imagine not only meeting that author but then helping them to find their muse, their inspiration again. To be part of the reason that someone so amazing begins to believe in themselves once again. That is just magical. Plus this book was hot! I just love when books can pull off sweet, touching and HOT AF!
When a world announced author is having a writers block who does her agent call….. the IG team. Author Geneva James has reached her writers funk. She needs to be inspired and reminded why her top selling trilogy is on top. This time Parker is accompanied by Skyler as they set their eyes on helping Skyler’s all time favorite author out of her funk. So off to London they go. When Geneva sets eyes on Skyler she can’t believe her muse is there in flesh and blood. Parker and Skyler are determined to help Geneva and there’s no limits to what they will do help. Oh and we can’t forget that Bo too has BIG PART in helping Geneva get out of her funk. I wouldn’t mind a little bit of that!
Parker and Skyler have finally reunited, bonding and reconnecting after weeks apart. Emotions run high and true feelings and expectations for their future comes tumbling out. Parker comes to terms that his past can not dictate his future and that he needs to trust his heart, and that his past relationship is not the same as his future one. Once Parker comes to terms with it and allows his feelings to break through his walls he’s built around his heart… WOW what beauty that is revealed.
London was refreshing and I am thrilled that Parker and Skyler have once again found their footing and are walking along side one another in harmony and feeding each others souls.
~FEED YOUR SOUL~
Parker, Royce and Bo are off to London to help Geneva. She is a world famous author who has writer’s block and can’t finish the much awaited final book in her trilogy. Parker enlists Sky’s help since she could relate to having lost her muse.
Love that Parker, Bo and Royce help women who aren’t sure of themselves and give them a confidence boost. This is a fun, easy read. I am enjoying traveling around the world with IG and learning what sights they enjoy at each stop. Grab you copy and start reading!
EEK…Outstanding Book! When the last book ended I had a “NO” moment and with this book, we get to see all the passion, fire, wit and romance that is “Skypark” – Parker Ellis and Skylar Paige light up this book while in London. All the family of International Guy is in this book as well. When reading this book all you’ll want to do is smile and that in itself is the beauty of Audrey Carlan.
International Guy will be in London for this case to help a famous romance author, Geneva James, find her mojo. She’s experiencing writers block & needs to complete her A-Lister series. They will try to work the magic and help her find her muse. You HAVE to read the books. No really, you HAVE to read the books. Audrey has me just as wound up as I was with her CG series. This series is a journey. Once again I’m in love with all the characters. If you’ve followed along so far you know Montreal left IG in turmoil. There will be some healing but also heartaches & a new antagonist. I’m left on the edge of my seat for more sooo Berlin here I come.
Geneva James, the world’s latest literary darling is one book away from completing her best selling trilogy but is suffering from a major case of writer’s block. With a movie deal hanging on the completion of the book what else can her agent do but call on International Guy to solve the problem.
After the events in Montreal it’s business as usual for Parker and his team although this time, as Geneva’s number one fan Skylar – and let’s face it, we all know how she feels – is along for the ride. With the mutual fangirling going on between Skylar and Geneva, an impromptu book signing and a large dose of Bo for inspiration, it’s not long before Geneva finds her muse again. So it’s another tick in the box for International Guy but are there clouds on the horizon? Does Skypark have a stalker and if so, who is it? I have my suspicions.
I love how this author writes characters that draw you in wanting to know more about them, even though they’re not ‘the stars of the show,. I’m now left wanting to read Geneva’s books and personally, I’d love more of her and Bo. And Rachel and Nate – how did they get together? They’re such a great partnership. Not forgetting my personal favourites Wendy and Mick. I might even have had a tear or two in my eye at one point reading this book because of them. Now it’s onwards to Berlin and their next client.
“You put yourself in danger and our relationship at risk.”
Something about this series feels like coming home. Each book wraps around me a little snugger and tugs at my heart. I love the words of wisdom, friendship, challenges, humor, steamy scenes and the passion of the International Guys with their women, friendships and assignments.
“Life is full of risks. When you have something worthy, the risk suddenly seems small.”
This book briefly ties up a cliffhanger and gets the wheels going on another mystery. Little bits are thrown in and have you wondering when the other shoe is going to drop…although I have no idea why you wouldn’t read the whole series…this book may be read as a stand-alone.
Berlin~International Guy Book 8 is downloaded and ready for me to dive in and get lost in Audrey’s words!
J’avais tellement hâte de retrouver Parker Ellis après les événements tragiques du précédent tome et je suis tellement ravie de la direction qu’ont pris les événements.
Parker Ellis va donc devoir apprendre à suivre son coeur et non son instinct et ne plus laisser le passé dicter ses choix. Il n’a pas su écouter ce que lui disaient Royce et Bo et il aurait pu perdre la femme qu’il aime profondément. L’heure des explications a donc sonné pour lui et Skyler et il va devoir écouter ce qu’elle a à lui dire. J’ai adoré Parker dans ce tome car Londres est un épisode qui va lui faire le plus grand bien. Depuis le début de la saga , nous avons un homme sûr de lui et de son charme et ici sur le sol anglais, on va sentir ses failles, ses doutes mais surtout les conséquences insoupçonnées de la trahison de son ex petite amie. Sa mission va donc le mener sur le sol anglais et aux côtés de Geneva James, une auteur à succès. Audrey Carlan nous embarque dans un nouvel univers , celui qu’on adore et dans lequel on prend un grand plaisir. Le monde des auteurs, des dédicaces et je me suis régalée car c’est un univers que je connais bien et qui me parle donc.
Skyler Paige sera également de la partie et j’ai adoré la retrouver dans ce tome. On la retrouve sur le premier plan et c’est super de la voir prendre part à une mission. Elle saura trouver les mots quand son auteur préférée aura le syndrome de la page blanche . Elle est fan absolue des romans de Geneva James et elle connait tous les romans par coeur. Elle saura aider cette auteur à retrouver sa flamme et à retrouver le contact avec ses fans. Elle se retrouve d’une certaine manière en elle car elle est passée elle aussi par ce stade. La relation entre elle et Parker va prendre un nouvel envol et j’en suis plus qu’heureuse. Ils parviennent enfin à trouver du temps à deux et la sensualité est d’autant plus au rendez vous. Et vous aurez aussi le retour surprise d’un personnage dont on n’avait pas eu des nouvelles depuis longtemps.
Pour celles qui savent ce qui s’est passé dans le précédent tome, vous savez qu’un élément important de l’intrigue était laissé en suspens et j’avais très peur de découvrir ce qu’il allait advenir de ce personnage que j’adore tant. Si vous ne voulez pas de spoiler ne lisez pas ce qui suit. Wendy a subi un événement terrible qui mettait gravement sa vie en danger. Nous avons la réponse à notre question mais je ne m’attendais pas à un autre rebondissement. Cela m’a brisé le coeur car c’est un personnage qui a toujours été très optimiste et qui apportait tant à la saga . Ce qu’elle a subi sera donc très douloureux et c’est une épreuve qu’elle va devoir traverser avec Michael. Ce dernier m’a aussi surpris dans ce tome. On savait ses préférences d’ordre intime mais c’est un homme meurtri et blessé qu’on retrouve ici.
Bref, j’ai adoré ce nouveau tome qui a répondu à toutes mes attentes. L’amour y est présenté sous toutes ses formes et par le biais de divers couples que nous adorons de plus en plus. Le tragique de certaines situations est compensé par l’humour qui se dégage de Bo et on espère que ce bonheur retrouvé pour de nombreux personnages pourra perdurer . Un sentiment de danger reste cependant bien présent et il faudra attendre les prochains tomes pour savoir que l’avenir réserve à cette belle équipe.
An author’s muse can be a fickle mistress. When she’s whispering in your ear, characters are developed, worlds are created and love, loss, angst, suspense, and more flow from head to fingertips creating works of art. But when she’s silent…when she’s silent it’s as if the birds have quit chirping, the world has ceased spinning, it’s axis off-kilter, throwing the writer into a world of darkness, anxiety and utter frustration. At the pinnacle of her career, London based, best-selling author Geneva James has met the proverbial wall. Her muse refuses to speak, silence, crickets…
International Guy’s next assignment, help this writing phenom find her muse again. She has a book to finish that not just her new publisher is counting on, but her adoring fans, hanging from the proverbial cliff awaiting the next installment of her story. There’s even a movie deal in the works if this story can get written.
Jetting off to London, this time hottie Parker James Ellis is accompanied by his love, Skyler Paige, in a two-for-one deal. The added bonus, since Skyler was the writer’s inspiration for the books heroine, publishing Agent Amy Tannenbaum promises Sky that Paramount Pictures will know this and she could get the part. This is a dream come true for Sky, who has read Geneva’s books and loves this story!
What’s that? More than whispering? Hmm…some real, hot inspiration? Aaahh yeah, again. More.
Did I love this one? Hell yeah I did! For someone who’s a pantster (writing jargon), Audrey Carlan’s writing feels so perfectly planned, everything in the story makes sense, fits just like the pieces of a puzzle. With each installment in this 12-part series, there’s an HEA at the end. We get that feeling we all seek from an HEA, yet there are many pieces left to fit in this puzzle, subtle breadcrumbs being left among the pages, that tell us there’s more than just an epic love story and some way hot Audrey Carlan signature heat.
So if you’re ready to jet to the next International Guy destination, put your seat trays up, your chairs in their upright positions, and one-click book 7, London, by the incomparable Audrey Carlan.
‘Live your truth!’
Parker and Skyler head to London to help an author with her writers block! Could you even imagine being able to do that??

So wonderful!
I flew through books 1-7 at a rate of one a day. Now I have to wait for the next and it is frustrating as heck. These books are addictive. You can’t put them down. I like the characters more and more as the story goes along.
