I started reading this book but never finished as I didn't really like the main chracter so found it difficult to be interested in what actually happened in the book. Not for me sorry

This installment of the International Guy series was E*P*I*C. We follow our dream team to visit clients Milan, San Francisco & Montreal in this volume.

Please note it is *NOT* my intention to have any type of spoilers- and I can’t stress enough you NEED to jump on this journey and own your truth. These do need to be read in order to have context on where the journey begins
.
The relationship between Pretty boy Parker and miss Peaches Skyler herself really hits the ground running early on. There are paparazzi, compromising photos, overhead phone conversations, bodyguards, agents, and assistants all in the mix. There is a healthy dose of jealousy, possessiveness, ex’s, and media ready to ruin them before they even really get to get going. I love the authenticity Audrey uses when writing Skylers character. A true Hollywood actress, who is humanly and beautifully flawed.

There are definitely “cliffhangers” in the sense that not all is *well* when the novella ends, however there are still 6 novellas/2 volume’s left to release– DO NOT let that discourage you!!!

In Milan, Parker & Bo are assisting on a fashion campaign, in San Francisco, Royce and Parker do some love making, and Montreal is full on corporate espionage! Each installment is uniquely brilliant, and I can’t wait to see where our journey leads us next

Milan – Parker and Bo’s next assignment is a fashion show in Milan where they help show the models, who are ordinary woman who don’t always feel comfortable in what they view as their imperfect bodies that everyone is beautiful in their own way. The relationship between Parker and Sky continues to heat up but it isn’t without its difficulties.

San Francisco – Parker and Royce visit the City by The Bay to help their client Rochelle find her perfect mate. Royce thinks that he might be the perfect choice for her but is not so sure? When trouble arises between Parker and Skyler will they be able to find their way back to each other.

Montreal – The team is off to Montreal to help Alexis find out who is betraying her and her company. Their investigation is full of twists and suspense. When Parker and Skyler’s relationship is tested will Parker be able to resist temptation?

I can’t wait to see what adventures the International Guys get up to next. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Every novella and volume of this series keeps getting better! From learning to accept who you are and loving your body in Milan to appreciating what's in front of you in San Francisco, every city, every novella explores a new concept. Ultimately, Parker, Bo and Ryce are searching for love in their own lives.

I like that now we're getting deeper into the story of these 3 brothers-from-another-mother and their families, the families they make for themselves. Their community keeps them strong through the ups and down of love, their jobs, and everything that gets in their way.

International Guy is a whirl wind journey that I can't wait to see where it takes us. The underlying and continuous story of Skyler and Parker pulls at my heartstrings and give me all the swoons. Just when I think I can put my kindle down for the night, I'm pulled right back in for another few hours of fun!

This is the second book/volume 2 I have read from Audrey Carlan. I really like Bo, Royce and Parker. They make up the International Guy Inc company. I thought it was going to be different then what I had expected after reading the second novella and then the third. In this volume it’s Milan, San Francisco and Montreal. I was very surprised how the series is shaping up. I was hoping Parker would find the love of his life and it’s looking like one day he might settle down. I am hoping that the rest of the characters in the books find happy endings too. I can’t wait to read more in the series. You have everything in this series funny lines, drama, exciting cities, romance and just plain old fun. The author makes you think that you are there in each city enjoying the scenery she paints you. If you want to get away from the real world for a few hours get a comfy couch a glass of wine and let your imagination take you away to the world of International Guy Inc.

Once again, I loved everything about these stories! Milan, San Francisco and Montreal all brought something unique and different to the table and I enjoyed every single moment!

I really feel that the Milan story gives so much more! It’s the story of learning how to accept yourself and truly love yourself for who you are, no matter what your size ;)

San Francisco finally gives us Royce and a look into the relationship between Parker and Royce. While expecting to be doing some matchmaking, this case turns into something they didn’t expect all the while Parker is dealing with issues that left me in tears at the end.

Montreal was my favorite of the three! There are so many emotions because of what happens a the end of San Francisco but I have a feeling there is so much more to come in London!

Once again, Audrey Carlan truly held me captive during these three stories! Filled with fun, sexiness and so many emotions, I truly enjoyed every city and each journey I went along on!

Omg this book is amazing. I love the first one and to read this one is just as good if not more. I can’t wait to read the next in this series. This is a must read.

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.

San Francisco - Rochelle is a powerhouse of a business woman looking for her perfect match and thinks that IG are just the guys to help her find him. Even on the plane flying out with Royce and Parker, I knew this would be a great story with some roller coaster action. Rochelle is everything you want to see in a female character - successful, strong-willed, quick witted, and confident. Royce is immediately enamored with Rochelle, but Parker has some reservations for his friend and that causes some tension between the guys.

While in San Fran, Skyler and Parker hit a major roadblock and left me very worried for them and their relationship. We all know that long distance creates issues that traditional relationships don't always have, but can these two overcome this?

Montreal - Alexis (Lexie) - Lexie hires IG in the hopes that they can help her track down who is sharing trade secrets from within her company. Wendy gets to help out this time and use her computer know-how! Parker is still reeling from everything that happened with Skyler and is at a loss with their relationship. I felt completely immersed in what was going on and was gripping my kindle willing myself to read faster to know how this would turn out.

I cannot wait for IG Vol. 3!

Oh boy! I am seriously LOVING this series! Audrey Carlan has sucked me in BIG STYLE!!

Volume 2 contains the next 3 destinations in the series. (NB - International Guy is also available as 12 individual books). And I would highly recommend reading them in order!

Here's a brief run down:-

First up – Milan. The client – T-Bone. He's one of the top new fashion designers of the year and needs International Guy's help with giving his amateur models the confidence they need to work the runway.

Next up – San Francisco. Client – Rochelle Renner. She's on the hunt for a husband, and needs help with selecting the lucky candidate!

This then brings us on to Montreal. Client – Alexis Stanton - CEO of a cyber tech company who needs help to discover which one of her employees is stealing trade secrets and selling them to her competitors.

Montreal was my fave out of the three. I adore Wendy, (International Guy's Assistant), so was pleased to see her getting stuck in!

Thoroughly enjoyed this volume, and would highly recommend. I desperately want to know what happens next!

This book was yet another wild ride! In this volume, the author manages to step up the drama and love. The story is full of twists and turns, many of them you can't even see them coming until they slap you in the face! I would love to see more from Bo and Royce. At times I felt like Parker's POV didn't gmake their characters justice. I hope we get more of them in the next books!!

Even though I enjoyed Milan and San Francisco, Montreal is definitely my favorite of the three! A real roller coaster ride that kept me at the edge of my seat till the last page!

Wow--International Guy Volume 2 really kicks it up a notch -- this volume continues the travels of Parker, Bogart & Royce and what a journey it is! These volumes do continue from one into the other with a cliffhanger ending so you must read them in order but they are well worth it! Hot chemistry, interesting storyline, emotional and intense -- everything I love about this author's writing -- you can't go wrong! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

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.

International Guy, Volume 2 by Audrey Carlan contains the books 4-6 Milan, San Francisco and Montreal.

Bo Parker and Royce´s business is thriving. They´re very successful in their field of work and their next case leads them to a fahion designer in Milan.
But more importantly, for Parker, is his relationship with Skyler. She loves him deeply, but his own insecurities and their job make a relationship difficult.

San Francisco is the next place of work for International Guy. A very busy businesswoman needs their service. And while Royce seems to find love, Parker and Skyler have a major fight and fallout. Parker, lead by his stubborn head breaks up with her and makes everyone miserable.

Montreal. Montreal is the installment with the most action and drama. Alexis Stanton needs help in finding the mole in her business and the whole team are up to Montreal. Parker´s bad mood is hard to bear with - but in typical Parker kind - he refuses to hear Skyler out.
The work situation peaks and members of the team are wounded. I literally sat at the edge of my seat reading this installment. My heart was bleeding for S P and M.

International Guy is mostly written in a single POV, a captivating read with characters I easily could connect with. I love Parker, Bo and Royce´s stories and can´t wait to read how the three friends find their maybe HEA.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Montlake Romance for my unbiased opinion of the book. Parker goes alone in a unique situation that has him wondering what he got himself into. This is the second book in the International Guy series and the story keeps getting better and better. When his next job is with is star crush Skylar a famous actress who has lost her will to act and live in general. When Parker starts helping her through her issues the sparks fly something fierce and after days of fighting their feelings, they both jump in headfirst with their eyes open. After a set of challenges and break them apart different challenges bring them together. I love the addition of Wendy to the firm, changes the dichotomy of Parker, Royce, Bo for the better! I couldn't read this book fast enough, I can't wait for instalment 3 and 4!

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

In this installment of International Guy we find Parker vising Milan, San Fran, and Montreal. His business ethics are sometimes questionable when it comes to the women he's working with. Though now his girlfriend, Hollywood A-lister Skylar Page, keeps him in check. 

I've enjoyed reading Parker's advice to the businesses he's working with in these stories.  He acts impulsively though in both business and personal. Doesn't tend to work out as well for him personally.  So you'll see a bit of drama in this round of International Guy. 

It'll be up to Parker to pull his head out his behind in the next set of stories...which I'm looking forward to reading as well.

Audrey Carlin’s International Guy Series continues with Volume 2 in Milan, San Francisco and Montreal. I love this series and these amazing, hot guys!! Looking forward to the next volume!!

International Guy volume 2 by Audrey Carlan lets you continue the travels of Parker, Bogart & Royce. Travel to Milan, San Francisco and Montreal with the IG firm as they handle issues from bringing the sexiness back to a fashion show, finding the right match for a business woman and investigating the culprit of a coding scheme. Whatever the need, the IG firm is there with their good looks, charming personalities and confidence.
In this edition we also see more of Wendy their assistant and she gets to put her detective skills to good use. She is a great character, and has become family to Parker, Bo & Royce.
What I love most about these books are the ups and downs of Parker and Skylar. In volume 1 they meet, and like each other. In volume 2, you see them be in a relationship something that is not the norm for Parker. Their scenes together are heart warming, loving and at times frustrating. There has to be some angst, who doesn't love some of that thrown in.
I can't wait for the story to continue as the reader is left hanging at the end of Montreal. Fall in love with Parker, Skylar and all the International Guys and their adventures around the world.

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 journey continues in three new cities: Milan, San Francisco, and Montreal.

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.

https://thelovelyteacheraddictions.blogspot.com/2018/08/mon-avis-sur-international-guy-milan.html

ce tome marque un pivot dans le déroulé de l'intrigue et j'ai adoré ce tome que j'ai trouvé plus consistant et plus approfondi. Les thématiques abordées sont une nouvelle fois fortes mais on creuse aussi dans la vie personnelle de chacun des héros pour les découvrir et les apprécier davantage. Audrey Carlan a su redonner un nouveau souffle à sa saga avec ce tome qui est différent et plus palpitant que les autres. En route pour Montréal désormais....

http://thelovelyteacheraddictions.blogspot.com/2018/08/mon-avis-sur-international-guy-san.html

j'adore la saga d'Audrey Carlan qui ne cesse de me tenir en haleine. Les étreintes sensuelles ont laissé place à des intrigues passionnantes et plus poussées que les précédents tomes. Une fois qu'on a fini cette mission à Montréal , nous n'avons qu'une seule hâte : dévorer le tome suivant à Londres car la fin de ce tome est tout simplement terrible et mettra à mal ma patience.

5 Wonderful Stars!!!

Ms. Carlan has hit it out of the park with these books and this series. I'm absolutely LOVING everything about them. The characters are amazing, there's swooning and fanning myself and even a few laughs. I can't believe I've waited this long to discover her amazing writing.

Parker, Bogart and Royce are all amazing. Their ability to help everyone and anyone that comes to them just proves there are men out there that really listen to what people are saying. They do it with class too...and along the way, potentially find love!!!

I'm ready for the rest of this series!!!
