This story seems to be from the viewpoint of Parker Ellis who co-owns International Guy with his 2 friends Bo and Royce. It is a company that helps people to make themselves better in business, love or whatever they need help in. Parker knows women and how to make them feel “loved”, Bo makes them over with clothes, hair, etc and Royce is the money man who can help them with finances.
I guess there are 12 books and this called International Guy: Paris.

I’m not really sure what to feel. It’s unlike anything I’ve read before and not what I usually like. I LOVE HEA with 1 couple. Sure this was a fun read and really really hot but I just didn’t like that Parker had sex with several people. I loved the interactions with his dad and his friends but I really prefer there to a HEA for a couple. I like that no one was hurt and went into it with eyes open but not my style. I really was hot which I like but it wasn’t my kind of story though Audrey does write really well and it was a quick read

This was really good! Gave me Calendar Girl vibes but, not so much where it felt like an exact copy of her previous work. Now I just want more of the boys!

My name is Parker Ellis. You can call me The Dream Maker. This is where my story begins.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. When I started reading I couldn't put it down I read the book in one day.Audrey Carlan is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

International Guy is a series you can't stop reading. I couldn't put these first 3 books down. I love the men behind International Guy. Parker, Bo and Royce have an amazing friendship and bond that shines throughout this series. Parker is the main focus on the first 3 books as he navigates 3 different cases in 3 different cities. You first meet Sophie and you can't help but love the changes these men make in her life. The friendship between all of them is amazing. By book 2 Parker is on a new case which involves his dream girl Skyler. With his help she blossoms and the change in Skyler and Parker is amazing. You hope his dream girl will become his forever. Only time will tell I guess. Book 3 the final in this volume Parker helps Princess Christina over come her fears. Not only does he get her to do that but steers her in the arms of the man she loves. It's beautiful to watch the changes the ladies go through with the help of the International Guys. I can't wait to read more of this series now that I started.

While I've heard fantastic things about Ms. Carlan's books I hadn't read one. I must say I am impressed by her writing and ability to draw a reader into her world.
1: Paris
While I really enjoyed this story I didn't fall in love with it. There was no particular thing, I just didn't connect to the story. The writing was great and set in the romance capital of the world which was fantastic. Since I didn't know anything about the series I felt a little punched in the gut when there wasn't a traditional HEA. Overall I'd give this one 3 stars.
2. New York
Now this one was my favorite!!! I loved the feel of this one and completely fell for Parker and Skyler. Their chemistry was just on point and the easy way they fell into one another so completely really drew me in. This one is deserving of all 5 stars!!!
3. Copenhagen
I really liked this one and it fell in the middle of the order in which I liked each novella. I loved Princess Christina. The way she was willing to back down to ensure her country had the proper Queen even if it meant breaking her own heart along with that of the man she loves but Parker will ensure the rightful Queen sits on the throne.
This one ends on a cliffhanger with Parker and Skyler. Can't wait to see what the next one has in store for them.
This one was a 4 star read.

Audrey Carlan does it again with International Guy. She has left me wanting more. If you loved the Calendar Series you will love International Guy.

I've read and loved Calendar Girl so I kind of had an idea of what to expect. I really enjoyed Parker he was so likable. Usually, I have a problem with characters sleeping with multiple people. You know before you go into these what to expect. I find myself rooting for each one.

International Guy is a company that specializes in helping people with unique problems, problems that are out of the norm. This book has the three novellas and I really enjoyed it a lot. These guys that are part of this company are best friends, more like family than friends. They love women and each one of them specialize in different aspects. For instance, one is Dream Maker, one is Lovemaker and last is Moneymaker. They know how to work together and give the client what they need, or what they are asking for. I love these short stories, they are funny, the guys are sexy and each one is unique in it's own. I love Audrey Carlan's books and I know you will love these.

I received this book from Netgalley for my honest opinion.

International Guy: Paris, New York, Copenhagen by Audrey Carlan

This is three novellas’ in one book. These books are about Parker Ellis who is a part of International Guy, an organisation that helps people to find themselves or to be a better version of the person they currently are, an identity refiner is how I see it.

International Guy: Paris

This one was insanely fun to read because I was not sure what to expect. I enjoyed Parker’s interactions with his brothers as well as Sophie. I though each book would be about a different brother so I got really confused at the end of this book but I really like Sophie and Parker’s chemistry with each other. Sophie wants to be CEO but she needs help to get her image just right, hence the entrance of Parker Ellis who is a part of International Guy. This story is sweet and short, but it works well.

4 stars

International Guy: New York

This one is my favourite so far because Skyler brings out a different person in Parker and Parker does the same for Skyler. These two build up a connection both in bed and out of it, I was pleasantly surprised at how they connected with each other. I was not expecting it and I do love how the story hints at Skyler being the forever girl for Parker. I’m intrigued as to how the future stories in this series about Parker will go, will he find his forever or be destined to help others possibly find theirs?

4 stars

International Guy: Copenhagen

In terms of the plotline, I loved this one so much because it was based on a royal family and I have a weakness when it comes to this theme. This story resolves around Parker trying to get Christina to embrace her destiny as the Queen of Denmark and marry Prince Sven, who is in line to be King. However she thinks her sister Elizabeth would be a better fit. I can’t spoil it but there’s a few things that come to light and my heart for them all because it’s not as clear cut as it seems!

4 stars

This is definitely worth the read, I recommend it wholeheartedly!

International Guy is a multi part story involving different cities and different clients. International Guy is a business made up of 3 friends who all serve differing roles in the company. Volume 1 takes place in Paris, at which time all 3 men are working with Sophie who is learning how to take over her father's company following his death. This was a story about building confidence and believing in oneself. I found this story to be just okay for me.

Volume 2 takes place in New York and involves mostly Parker assisting a popular actress in finding and embracing her true self. I enjoyed Volume 2 more than Volume 1 and found it to be more interesting and engaging. Skyler and Parker had amazing chemistry and their interactions were insanely hot.

Volume 3 takes place in Copenhagen, where mostly Parker again helps Princess Christina with finding her worth and accepting her place in the kingdom.

Though Parker was the main male character, International Guy is also run by Royce and Bo who were seen throughout each volume, but so far in lesser roles. They all seem to have a tight bond and are more like family than friends. Overall Volume 1 started slow, but I enjoed Volumes 2 and 3 more and would be interested in finding out what happens in the next installment of International Guy,

Parker loved all women. Making them feel confident about themselves was an absolute thing of beauty. Standing by their side while they found themselves was completely empowering. It was his one defining grace and he worked hard with his best friends to build up his company. He works hard and meets the needs of everyone of his clients. He would change lives and he may finally find the one he had been looking for all along. Absolute love the start of this new series! Audrey Carlan draws her readers in and makes you fall in love with her characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
