Oh how I love Vol 1! If these three indicate how the rest of the series will go, we’re definitely in for a treat! I didn’t want to put it down. Audrey really knows what to write to draw you into her stories. Well written and highly entertaining. Would definitely recommend:)

Paris – Parker travels to Paris to help Sophie prepare to take over her father’s perfume business. She is prepared for the challenge and all she needs is a little support to give her the strength she needs to succeed, and he is more than happy to give her his personal touch.

New York – Skyler is an actress who is finding her career and life draining. Parker help her realize why she loved acting in the first place and they have a connection that extends beyond the bedroom, but will he forget her as soon as he starts his next assignment or is this the start of something more?

Copenhagen - Princess Christina wants to serve her country and due to her past the best way she knows is to step down. It is up to Parker to convince her that she is the perfect choice and doesn’t need to sacrifice her happiness for what she believes is right.

I enjoyed the first story in this series and I look forward to seeing where the adventures take not only Parker but Royce and Bo as well. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This steamy collection of tales, takes place in different locations for each book. Follow three friends, aptly named "The Dream Maker", "The Love Maker" and "The Money Maker" - as they travel to various destinations to help clients, comedy ensues. Audrey Carlan is one of my favorite authors and she doesn't disappoint with the first volume in this series!

I was excited to be able to try International Guy. It blew me away. I absolutely loved it.

The book centers on Parker Ellis and his two coworkers who run a business that help anyone solve an arrange of problems for the right amount of money. In International Guy: Paris, Parker flies to Paris to help Sophie, a young woman who is being thrust into leading her father's company after his death. She is shy, unsure of what needs to be done, and how to conduct herself professionally while staying true to herself personally. Parker and his team help her work through from difficult situations. IT was amazing to see this woman transform into something she always inspired to be. In International Guy: New York, Parker is headed to NY to work with Skyler Paige, his celebrity crush. We have learned from the first novella that Parker is head over heels about Skyler. Skyler's assistant is worried about Skyler when she is ready to throw in the towel on her career. Parker is determined to help Skyler find her muse again, but can he move past his own demons and open up to the girl of his dreams. The last novella, International Guy: Copenhagen, has the crew going back to Europe to help convinve a princess to marry her love, who has just become the next in line to be crowned King. Can they guys get the princess to move past her fears and accept her fate. I loved that the Skyler and Parker "relationship" continues into the third novella but hate that she left it at a cliffhanger.

I found this book to be a fast read. I didn't want to put it down. Audrey does a great job of developing her characters, adding enough details to enhance the plot, and leaves you hanging and wanting more.

I just finished International Guy Volume 1. Omg it is freaking awesome! I love how Audrey Carlan gives such an amazing back story when introducing characters. She makes it so easy to fall in love with them and wanting more.. So far I think New York is my favorite so far but I also like how the previous client is still along the journey in some way.

Want more??? Go and read it!!!! I highly recommend this book!!!

Calendar Girl is the first series that got me hooked on Audrey's books. All I can say is when you get three hot friends that start a consultant company right out of school. Then you are bound to have plenty of hot scenes. These three stories had a little bit of everything from suspense, romance and angst. I can't wait to see what's up next.

International Guy is my first read by Audrey Carlan. These serials are interconnected while having different story lines per city. They are super fun, fast, and sexy reads. Parker Ellis and his partners are problem solvers. Each case is unique, promoting the power of the female. By reconnecting their client with their inner goddess, empowering them to look their best and assisting with their business financials, these gentlemen pay special attention to leave these clients ready to conquer the world.

What I didn't expect was to like Parker Ellis despite is casual approach to relationships. I've never read anything that didn't end in a traditional HEA. The first novella features a non-traditional HEA that works for both characters. It definitely was unexpected, but it works for what the characters needed.

There is plenty of character development featuring Parker and his besties, and it's super easy to get wrapped up in every story. Paris, NY and Copenhagen couldn't be more different from each other, but the underlying theme was consistent. I liked each one separately and together as the first volume of the serial. I can't wait for more!

Spoiler Free Review For Audrey Carlan's International Guy Vol 1:

Parker, Bogart and Royce, oh my!!! International Guy is a company founded by 3 "gentlemen", each with their own specialties, to help women with anything that they need no matter how big or small a job as long as it doesn't involve breaking rules or laws. This volume contains the first 3 stories in the series and oh man.....they are worth the read. Steamy, yes but a bit teary at times. Parker is the main guy but Bogart and Royce have their parts to play. I give this 4 stars but read for yourself and see what you make of them.

“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.”

First of all, this book was fantastic! It is so different from any other book I've read. I love that it's in a male perspective. I've read many books from the male POV but never like this. Parker is sweet, caring, hilarious, sexy, etc. Essentially every womans dream guy. "Dream Maker", I see what you did there. I loved being inside his mind at all times.

IG Paris gets you sucked in. It was as if you are in Paris sipping on some wine at the Eiffel Tower with Parker himself. Audrey's words paint a marvelous portrait. Same with New York and Copenhagen. Without spilling the beans New York was probably my favorite. The connection Parker has with the client is lovely and extremely sexy. The end of Copenhagen has me begging for more! Volume 2 can't come soon enough!! XOXOXO

International Guy Inc. caters to their clients needs. No request is too demanding or to strange. As long as it’s not illegal they are in. The owners of the company are three hot men that met when they were in their first year of Harvard. Parker Ellis, Bogart “Bo” Montgomery and Royce Sterling. Smart, capable, and hot men that all have their own expertise. They are the Dream Makers. Bo is the Love maker, he helps the clients find love as well as helping them with their appeal and fashion sense. Royce is the Money maker, everything he touches turn gold. If a client has money problems or concerns he is the man. Parker Ellis is the Boss, since he came up with the business plan, concept and theme. He is the initial contact for every client. He has a little bit of all of the others, but he can read also woman. I figure out what makes them tick and what the client needs.
Book #1. Their client in Paris is a young heiress. Heir to the largest perfume empire in France that is worth billions. When her father suddenly dies she needs all three men of International Guys Inc to help her take her place as the CEO.
Book #2. New York’s client is a beautiful, famous, actress who has lost her will to work. And is also Parker Ellis’ dream girl. So he takes this client on all by himself. She needs to learn to live her truth.
Book #3. Copenhagen brings a Royal client that will need some tough detective work and some basic understanding on the rules, and how these royals are raised.
Through these clients, we see how well they deliver and we see that the International Guys Inc men are sexy, intelligent, sweet and hot. Love sparks with a client, but will it go the distant? And heat and sexy times helps another client with her confidence. But we also get to see True Love win. So hot, so sweet and so deliciously sexy these stories will carry you away.
Loved these stories and these sexy, intelligent, hot men do there magic as they use their expertise, to bring happiness, fun and help their clients find their happiness.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.

International Guy is a new series by Author Audrey Carlan.  It features Parker Ellis who owns a company titled International Guy.  They offer a service of helping women catch their ideal man.  This series is like a cross between Carlan's Calendar Girl and Rachel Van Dyken's Wingman, Inc series. 

I enjoyed reading this set of stories.  Seeing Parker in his element and learning more about the women who've hired him and his two friends to help teach them what's needed to land their man. He becomes invested in Paris with their first client.  Not "in love" vested but close friends vested.  It's when he gets home to NY that he will be tripped up to fall for a client - his favorite actress.  Then he jets off to Copenhagen to help a Danish Princess. There's still a tug to NYC though...which should be interesting to see how this works out as Parker travels the world helping women find love!

If you like to learn about new places; hear a mans opinion about what a woman should do in their dating life, and see if Parker will ever fall in love - this series is for you!

International Guy is another great book by Audrey Carlan. If you loved her Calendar Girl series, you will love these books. It is easy to love Parker, Royce and Bo and their ability to solve “unique problems”. This was a great start to the series and now I’m counting the days until the next book is released. Great summer read!

International Guy is another great book by Audrey Carlan! She keeps readers turning the page like her Calendar series with the 3 guys running the International Guy business which helping women with self- esteem, money issues- whatever they need. Parker, Bo and Royce are the guys!

Volume One has 3 books:
Paris- where the guys help Sophie with taking over her dad's company!
New York- where the guys help Skylar- who has lost herself amongst Hollywood fame
Copenhagen- where the guys help Princess Christina with sadness and tragedy

They are all interconnected stories. Can't wait for the next addition of the worldwide adventure!

After failing to read it straight through, I skimmed around this book, which is really the first three novellas in a serial, and I'm sorry, but it's a no from me.
I read some of Carlan's Calendar Girl books because they were over the top and sexy. I had some issues with the way sex work was portrayed and with the hero, but overall it was a good enough series that I was willing to give International Guy a shot.

In the first ten pages of the book, though, you could win douchebro bingo. I hated the main character. He's the stereotypical dude who thinks he's God's gift to women and he and his two buddies have started a business to LITERALLY FIX WOMEN. I was hoping they'd get their egos shot a bit, but no.
"I never minded helping out, especially since he'd knock me a bit of spending money that I'd blow on one skirt or another."
"'Too bad you wasted all that time. I banged Melissa within the first two weeks of class. Had her as one of my top five repeats all sophomore year.'
Bo's gaze slashes to mine. 'Shit! That's why she never let me in there? Girl was one of the only women to ever seem disinterested. Hurt my confidence.'"

These three men, who are supposed to be helping women, are shitty to women. I don't like being in their heads, reading about them, etc. Carlan tells us over and over how they understand women and how hot they are and mostly I wanted to slap them.
This review is based on an advanced copy I received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Full disclosure - I quite obviously didn't finish the book/three books.
