From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.Milan, Italy. Where fashion rules, these twelve models are getting schooled in the sweet arts of sensuality and seduction.With intimate pictures of me and starlet Skyler Paige igniting a tabloid sexstorm, the gig in Milan is perfectly timed. I need a distraction. And what a distraction: a dozen gorgeous Italian … a distraction: a dozen gorgeous Italian lingerie models—every one of them a mouthwatering temptation…
The problem? These aren’t professionals. They’re real women—soft, lush, and inexperienced. They need International Guy to show them how to embrace their sexy on the runway.
With my personal life challenges and just a week to empower each one, I’m not on my game. All I can think about is Skyler. Her voice. Her body. Her taste. I swore I’d never settle down. With so many women in so many cities, can I really consider taking myself off the market for just one woman?

This is the fourth book in a twelve-novella series.

With book four in the International Guy series Parker & Bo find themselves in Milan, the home of fashion where their latest job finds them having to turn 12 average housewives into glamorous lingerie models, ready to strut their stuff on a runway at a fashion show and less than a week to do it. As well as having all this on his plate, Parker is having to come to terms with the realisation that he’s falling in love with Skylar Paige, his movie star girlfriend, but with his every interaction with the opposite sex, however innocent, being scrutinised & reported on by the paparazzi, is there enough trust between them for their burgeoning relationship to survive.
I loved the underlying message in this book with the use of “normal” sized women as models. That they are just as, if not more beautiful than any supermodel. Anna Maria’s husband said it all when he told his wife that “she was the sexiest woman alive and even more so after having his babies. He loved how her body has changed, because it showed how their lives had grown and changed together. She was a mother now. It was a new role, a new body. And when she was an old woman, a grandmother she’d have a grandmother’s body, and he’d love her even more then because she would’ve given him a legacy.” Now that’s the kind of husband every woman should have
I don’t know how I’m going to make it through the IGs available & not have the next one immediately.
Parker is in Milan & Sky is still in New York filming. The book summary gives you the basics of this installment. Enough that you should be interested, especially if you’ve read the first 3. And if you didn’t, it will be your loss. I’m not giving any spoilers.
Parker & Sky make my heart swell. Bo, Roy & Wendy are great supports. I’m sure they’ll all get a spotlight at some point but for now it’s all about SkyPark.
Can’t wait to read San Francisco. I love this story as much as I love Calendar Girl. That one has been a go to re-read for me & im sure this one will be too.
I should get used to not being surprised at how well Audrey crafts a story! She continues to write these characters that you cannot help but want to get to know them more.
Parker Ellis is back for more in International Guy Vol. 2 and we get to see him travel to Milan, San Francisco, and Montreal this time.
Milan – T-Bone – Oh what a bonehead! He is introducing a new inclusive line of lingerie for every woman and has unfortunately caused some discord with his behavior. Parker is able to go in and realizes that these “everyday” women are uncomfortable and do not have the confidence to pull off the moves that the designer is asking for. Parker helps the women, one by one, to “Embrace your sexy”, and help T-Bone have a successful show.
While in Milan, we also get to see Parker and Skyler find their way through misunderstandings and issues from prior relationships. Skyler may have all of the money in the world and fame, but all she is wanting is to spend time with Parker and really see if they have what it takes to make their relationship work.
Une fois de plus, nous découvrons un tome complètement différent des trois premiers tomes car Parker Ellis n’est plus aussi actif et il va subir quelques revers et va devoir faire des choix très déroutants concernant sa vie personnelle.
Parker Ellis sera donc de retour pour une nouvelle mission bien plus personnelle. Même s’il se rendra avec Bo à Milan , cette partie du roman n’est qu’une infime partie de ce nouveau tome. L’essentiel se focalise donc sur la vie privée de Parker. Nous avions eu quelques éléments sur sa vie passée avec Kayla mais cette fois , il sera obligé de se livrer encore plus s’il ne veut pas prendre le risque de perdre celle qui prend de plus en plus de place dans sa vie privée. Le tome précédent s’était terminé sur une note un peu négative même s’il n’en avait pas conscience. Cet homme est assez maladroit dans ses paroles et il a vraiment du mal à exprimer ce qu’il ressent véritablement. On a l’impression qu’il ne vit que pour le sexe avec Skyler mais en creusant un peu plus , on se rend compte qu’elle prend une place de plus en plus importante dans sa vie. Lui qui n’aime pas les étiquettes va être obligé de poser des mots sur sa relation avec la jeune femme. Je dirais donc que c’est un mal pour un bien car cela le pousse dans ses retranchements. J’aime de plus en plus la tournure que prend l’intrigue le concernant .
Skyler Paige prend aussi de plus en plus d’ampleur et je l’adore de plus en plus. Elle doit allier sa carrière et sa vie amoureuse et elle risque de souffrir entre deux. Ce que j’aime désormais est le fait qu’elle communique avec Parker . Dès qu’il y a un souci , ce dernier est vocalisé et j’apprécie grandement car je n’aime pas trop les quiproquo inutiles dans certaines romances. Je comprends tout à fait sa jalousie envers Sophie car elle sait l’importance qu’elle a eu dans la vie de Parker. Elle la voit encore comme une menace et je me suis dit parfois que Sophie était envahissante et toujours là comme par hasard. J’espère donc que je me trompe et qu’elle sera juste la confidente de Parker. Ce qui est aussi intéressant est de la voir sur son lieu de travail avec les désagréments qui sont liés à sa carrière. De plus, on découvrir aussi Rick, sa co star et l’objet de jalousie de Parker. Espérons donc que la pression ne soit pas trop forte.
Ce nouveau tome nous emmène aussi à Milan , ville italienne qu’on associe forcément à la mode . Le créateur T Bone a eu une idée de génie en décidant de ne pas faire appel à des mannequins de profession pour son défilé de lingerie. On découvre donc des femmes de tout horizon , de toute corpulence et une fois de plus Bo et Parker feront des étincelles en encourageant ces femmes à assumer leur forme. En général dans le milieu de la mode, les héroïnes sont loin de nous ressembler mais là on ne peut que s’identifier à ces femmes qui vont repousser leur limite pour être fières d’elles. Quand je vous disais qu’Audrey Carlan proposait des images de femmes fortes et qu’elle projetait une image plus que positive de la femme.
Bref, j’ai été conquise par ce nouveau tome. L’intrigue prend un nouveau tournant qui me plait très grandement. Audrey Carlan continue de nous divertir avec les aventures de Parker et à présent je ne souhaite qu’une seule chose que Bo et Royce prennent enfin le devant de la scène car je veux en savoir plus sur eux.
The fourth book a twelve-novella series in the sexy International Guy Series by the awesome Audrey Carlan
Forth Client: Milan, Italy.
My next client takes me to Milan, Italy. Italy is where all fashion rules, everyone knows that or don’t they? Well this task involves twelve impressive models of all shapes and forms, young, old, from teacher to mom, married or unmarried; these models are getting taught the sweet sweet arts of sensuality and most importantly of all seduction.
When very intimate pictures of me and the most beautiful starlet Skyler Paige ignite a tabloid that get people thinking I’m one lucky guy. I find that the big gig in Milan is timed to perfection. Oh how I need a distraction. The best distraction i can come up with is a dozen gorgeous Italian lingerie models.
The only problem I have with them? These ladies are novices. None of them have any experience in modelling. These are real women. Such soft, lush, and a huge temptation for me. I have to clear my head and concentrate on the sexy woman that I’m seeing back in New York not look at these lovely ladies. These ladies definitely need my experience and International Guy to show them how to do their best and learn embrace their sexiness on the runway in front of many people.
I’m beginning to think my life is spinning out of control but some part of me feels like it’s a good thing. Sky has offered to move from New York to Boston where I live and that way we can spend more time together when i’m back home in the States. I’m shocked that I’ve found my dream girl and we are working on our relationship. International travel puts a downer on it but with face-time and phone calls it makes a difference.
Another thing every woman should know, Beauty is skin deep, Be happy who you are and be confident in yourself. Never let a man put you down or treat you so badly.
Another 5* book by Audrey this is going to be a huge hit.
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.
Milan is the 4th novella in the International Guy series. Parker, Bo and Royce have a unique business helping wealthy clients with everything from finances to love. When they take the job in Milan, it is Parker and Bo who head there to help a group of woman learn to walk the runway for a fashion show. T-Bone the designer has created a lingerie line that is for women of all shapes and sizes. He hires everyday women to be his models. They have no background or experience so Parker and Bo set out to help the women see how beautiful and desirable they are.
I really enjoyed this installment of International Guy. In every story so far they have help their female clients gain confidence, see their beauty and value but this time it was so much more since it was every day ladies. The Parker and Sky love story continues to grow as well. Audrey keeps you reading. I highly recommend this fun romance.
Come along for another inspirational adventure with the men on International Guy Inc. Parker and Bo are off to Milan to inspire woman of all shapes and sizes to embrace their sexy. The guys have been hired to help everyday woman find their inner sexy and walk the catwalk. Easier said than done. Parker and Bo find some bumps in the road, but Parker being Parker once again hits the ball out of the park. With some creativity and Parker charm, he soon has the ordinary becoming extraordinary.
In this installment, Parker has to make some hard choices on where he and Skyler’s relationship stands. Although they both have agreed on a monogamous and go with flow relationship , some steamy photos of Parker and Skyler brings their relationship to the limelight with the press. Now Parker is the sought out man in Skyler Paige’s life and along with it comes fame he is not accustomed to and some pressure in their new relationship. Can Parker survive the attention that comes with being Skyler Paige’s MAN? Will Parker finally let down the wall around his heart to fully allow Skyler into it?
Audrey Carlan did it again. Her creative flair, gift of storytelling, and love for her characters allows the reader to experience it as if it’s their own. This series keeps getting better and better and I can not wait to see what Audrey has in store for us in the next installment.
~Embrace your sexy~
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!
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.
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!
Audrey Carlan brings beauty in all shapes and sizes to center stage in this book. I adore this installment so much. Every woman should feel beautiful in their own skin and love themselves for who they are and the guys provide support and motivation for them to realize this. Every woman should know their worth and Audrey shows this in such a passionate as well as sexy way.
I love Parker and Sky’s relationship so much. The support and compassion they have for one another is just as spectacular as the love and extremely hot sex that they share. They make me giddy and I didn’t even want Parker and Sky to be a couple when they first started out in this series. Thank God they have this mind blowing attraction to one another that starts to rock them so internally because they relationship is tested right from the start. You will root for them just like Audrey’s other amazing couples as you also may have a tizzy or two.
My man Bo makes me laugh and appreciate him even more in this installment and you need to read it to understand why! The men make my heart explode as Ms. Carlan tackles self esteem issues in such an inspiring and breathtaking way. I battle with body image and society’s expectations, as well as so many other women do so, I was really pulled deep into this story.
Audrey this book touched me in ways I’m not even sure I could explain enough to show its power and motivation. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This story is captivating, encouraging, awe-inspiring and incredible and that is all because of the power behind your words, Audrey Carlan, and proves once again why you a #1 NYT best selling author!
