The latest three books of Audrey Carlan’s International Guy series will not leave you disappointed. We pick up the story in London where Parker and Skyler work to get past their issues from the last book, while working with Geneva James, an author who, similar to Skyler, lost her will to write. Skyler was an integral part of this book, which was a nice change, given that she doesn’t usually have the same level of involvement in the International Guy business like the rest of the team do.

Berlin brings us to an auto company that is looking to launch a strong campaign. Wendy and Mick make the trip to Berlin, as Mick has a world renowned advertising company. Ms. Carlan does a wonderful job of keeping the storyline fresh and making readers want more. Not only does Mick have a leading role in this installment, but we also get to meet Paul, Parker’s brother, and his love interest.

Washington DC is the final installment of this volume, and what a way to end it. I love that we get introduced to a new character, Kendra, and learn about the past that she and one of the main IG men had together. What will this mean for them? Can they work together or will this be a union that won’t be able to work together for long? Washington DC takes on a more serious tone, with the featured client being a cosmetics company who are involved in a political battle to have a law passed which would allow for much more lax rules surrounding the testing of products. I appreciate how Ms. Carlan took the time to write about animal cruelty from the perspective of International Guy, and how their morals surpassed the need to keep a good standing with their client and potentially risk their reputation. This was a very serious topic, and I think Ms. Carlan did a great job.
I can’t wait to see what the final installments of International Guy hold for the team – we’ve come to love these characters and cannot wait to see how the series concludes.

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

This is the third set of stories of the International Guy guys by Audrey Carlan. This series features Parker Ellis as the focus along with his love interest, Hollywood star Skylar Paige. Their relationship has had some bumps in the road up to this point in their love story. The two have to figure out what they're doing and if their relationship is worth continuing.

So Skylar and Parker (SkyPark) decide to make a go at it. Both of their schedules are absolutely crazy. She's doing her press junket for and upcoming movie release and he's helping women achieve their goals business and personal alike. I like how they're willing to work on their relationship not just say well this is too hard. Anything that's worth having is hard work.

The relationship lessons they're both learning are both beneficial for the characters as well as the reader. Communication is key in any relationship as these books will showcase. I like the advice Parker gives his clients too. It's not just about his pretty face. Business strategy is key in the world and his company definitely helps their clients to succeed.

I'm looking forward to seeing what's next for these two in the final three books of International Guy.

Well since we're being honest, I'll admit that when this series first came out I had very high standards and expectations for it because Calendar Girls was simply put, amazing. The first 2 adventures were a little slow for me, but knowing the series would be a journey and each part played a role in the big picture I held on. And I'm so glad I did- each addition just keeps getting better and better. Don't try and jump around in the series, read it in order to fully enjoy it. And you will enjoy it, and then you'll want to read everything else she's ever written. In one weekend- a forget about the laundry, fend for yourselves with meals, who needs a shower I'm reading type of weekend.

This was an ARC that we were lucky to receive.  I absolutely love this series.  It was difficult to write this review, since you have to read from the beginning to get a good feel for these awesome characters.  You will not be disappointed.  The guys have different monikers, Parker = The Dream Maker; Royce = The Money Maker; Bo = The Lover Maker.  While also employing Wendy the most amazing hacker/personal assistance ever!
This volume covers London, Berlin and D.C.  The IG are back at it!
In London, the IG team picks up where they left off in Montreal.  I will say that Montreal had me sweating and upset, because of what happens.  (UGH!  So hard to write this and not have spoilers!)  Parker and Skylar continue to grow their relationship, while the team bands together to help each other through the event that happened in Montreal. The team in hired to help struggling romance writer Geneva James, who happens to be Skyler's favorite author, get back into her writing groove.  Parker is absolutely fabulous helping Geneva see the worth in herself again, which is beautifully written.  He also comes to realize that he has to let the past go in order to have a full future with Skyler.  There is an unknown force that is trying to keep the two apart and the team works to uncover this threat.
In Berlin, the team has to help a automotive manufacturer with a huge marketing scheme.  When all of the IG guys are together on a case, holy hotness!  They work as a well oiled machine, each bringing their strengths to the table.  In this story, Wendy's fiancee, Mick, is brought in, but is faced with a ghost from his past.  Leave it to Wendy to lay the smack down on that ghost!
Ugh, then the IG team was off to Washington, D.C. I will say this, Fair Warning, this portion of Volume 3 was at times a very hard read. Not because the story content and characters didn't flow, because it did, just the content. This segment has the team working with a beauty company, that wants to sway the last few votes needed to obtain legislation that will help the bypass some FDA regulations. So with that being said, it does deal with sensitive background information on one senator (rape and abortion), while uncovering horrific animal testing that is being done. But will the team be successful in taking down this huge company without risking their own business? Well you, my fellow reader, will have to read this awesome installment to find out.
Remember, if you haven't read this series, start from the beginning!

Trois nouvelles villes et trois nouveaux tomes qui nous rendent de plus en plus accro à cette saga. L'histoire entre Parker et Skyler prend de l'ampleur et les personnages prennent aussi de l'ampleur

Londres

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.

Berlin

ce tome semble un peu comme une parenthèse dorée où certaines mises au point seront nécessaires mais où le bonheur coulera à flot . Il y a certes un peu moins d action mais le rythme reste correct et cela nous permet de nous attacher encore plus à l'histoire personnelle de chacun des personnages. J'aurais aimé en savoir plus sur Royce et Bo et ce sera là mon seul bémol pour ce tome qui a su tout de même me conquérir.

Washington

n nouveau tome que j'ai trouvé très fort au niveau de l'intrigue qui reprend un super rythme. On se recentre sur les IG et sur les histoires personnelles de chaque personnage. La thématique abordée par Audrey Carlan est très forte et trouve un écho très fort dans le contexte actuel. Le pouvoir, la politique et l'éthique vont donc se livrer un combat atroce où le bien devra triompher du mal.

I am in lust with this series! Each city gets better and better. I’m so ready for Vol 4! I just can’t get enough of it. Audrey really makes you feel like you’re a part of the story and you just fall for the characters. Anxiously awaiting more!

I received this book from #NetGalley in return for an honest review.

I’ve enjoyed this book however, I struggled to get into the character relationships and dynamics of the story. This is no fault of the author as I have not read any of the previous titles in this series. This is something that I am going to remedy as from these books, the plot and the writing style I know i will enjoy them too.

3 cities are visited in this book - London, Berlin and Washington and with each city we are (or I was) introduced to new characters with the IG team helping an author, a car company and dealing with legal, political and ethical issues. The relationships build through the stories and I will definitely be purchasing previous and future books in this series.

I have rated this collection 3 stars due to my gap in knowledge about previous stories only.

#InternationalGuyLondonBerlinWashington

LONDON
Parker and Skylar are one combustible couple! :-D

The previous chapter in this series almost ripped me in two with all the drama. It was so goodto reacquaint myself with Wendy and her devoted fiancé. They kept making me laugh and suffer, too. I'm addicted to their great story.

As to Parker's new mission, I loved travelling to London for a meet-up with a romance author. It was so much fun living her situation, the work as a famous author, her plights and privileges, and all that surrounds being her fan. It was like living both worlds.

Sightseeing, fresh tea, good manly camaraderie, and lots of sultry love from a very-much-in-love couple dreaming of a future together. The romance in this episode is positively off-the-charts. Skyler and Parker vibrate with love. What's more, a little seed of suspense is planted for the next installment. I'm eager to find out what's that all about.

BERLIN
I was thrilled to read more about Wendy and her devoted fiancé. They are so in love! And hilariously quirky. We get to know how and here they live, so unexpected! I relished those scenes and so many more in this installlment.

Parker and Skyler continue to deepen their relationship, they are very cute and passionate together. There is progress between them that felt right. Parker's new mission is a minefield of surprises as friends and family pop up and mingle their interests. It's one of the most entertaining episodes with a love of love, mystery and emotional connections.

Sophisticated, yet very focused on friendly bonds as well as true love.

WASHINGTON
This is getting intense.

Parker's firm is getting involved with some seriously twisted and sleazy business methods. This episode deals with pharmaceuticals with high amtibions and low morals, so IG is facing a battle to ensure that no evil is done in their watch. I found this topic highly engaging, but disturbing too. It's such a shame that so much harm can be done in the name of product selling.

Politics, bills, animal welfare, and honour mix with some other significant developments in Skyler's life and Royce's past. I loved how emotional and thrilling the plot got as all the characters pitched in. I'm also terribly curious about a new character that is a force to be reckoned with, and how her presence will play with one of the IG men. The ending here has elements of cuteness but also threat. Very promising!

Seriously, this series is just getting better and better like an old wine. The longer you wait, the better the taste.

London

IG is supposed to help a struggling bestselling author get out of her writing funk. She has been experiencing writers block ever since the last publisher humiliated her last book. IG is hired by the author's agent who wants to bring Skylar on board as she has been the muse for the leading character to the trilogy. Parker and Skylar help the author to see her worth and show her that her readers are still very happy to wait until the trilogy is finished. And the fact that Bo, a ladies man flirting with her, doesn't hurt either.

Berlin

While Wendy is still recovering from her injuries, Parker and Sky are getting comfortable in their relationship. When they start to get mysterious emails and texts from an unknown person they didn’t take them seriously until they started to arrive more frequently.

IG was asked to come to Berlin to help with a promo campaign to bring a new brand of hybrid cars to the market. While all 3 of them are there, they need the help of Wendy's soon to be husband and things start to get more than complicated.

Washington

IG needs help of a new lawyer and Parker hires a new member to the team.

The team was assigned to convince politicians to pass a new bill. However when IG gets wind of the real reason for their engagement, IG starts to do some digging on their own. When Wendy finds disgusting facts about the company and her relations, all members agree to bring the company's intentions and actions to the surface.

From all 3 parts of International guy Vol. 3, I loved Washington the most. It kept me on pins and needles the whole time. I haven't wanted to put it down at all.

AMAZING...WITTY...Tragic, Passionate...An outstanding piece of work by Audrey Carlan. From London to Washington D.C. The International Guy team reveal in the love of Skylar and Parker as well as Wendy and Mick. They see an old friend in Paris and show the heroes of the Military in Berlin. Family and old friends return and in Washington D.C. they stand their ground for what's right and moral. This is an exceptional Series, written by an amazing woman who will show inspiration in each of her books. This book deserves more than 5 stars!

Another great installment of Parker and the gang. As we continue through the journey we start to learn more about Wendy and Mick and Royce. We of course get to continue with Skyler and Parker’s journey. A definite read. Can’t wait until Volume 4!!

London is book 7 in the International Guy series. Book 6 left us with many unanswered questions that are addressed at the beginning. This book sees Parker going to London to help a writer with writer block. It is a fun story expanding Parker and Skylar’s relationship. Definitely a great read.

Berlin is book 8. In this book International Guy is hired to help with a car marketing campaign. We learn a lot more of Mick’s past and watch as he becomes friends with the rest of the group.

Washington DC is book 9. In the book, we see the dark and ugly side of politics. Parker and IG are put in a bad moral and eithical situation. We also get to meet Kendra, someone from Royce’s past.

I have to start with this series of novellas is fast becoming one of my favourite reads of 2018. In these three cities we get to see everyone trying to recover from the mess in Montreal.......
London
Skylar and Parker are moving forward with their relationship and travelling to London with Bo to help a best selling author who is struggling with writers block, they are hired to somehow find her muse and to ultimately get her confidence back. I loved seeing Skylar interacting with Parker and Bo to help get this writers mojo back and as always I loved the interaction from Skylar’s security team, London was my home town so it was great to see it described from someone else’s point of view.
Berlin
Parker is in Berlin to try and solve an advertising dilemma and he needs to call for reinforcements from Michael but that means Michael and Wendy coming face to face with a woman from his past and is Wendy up for the trip after the shooting in Montreal. Berlin also sees Parker catching up with his brother who is based in Germany as a special operative in the forces and he has news he needs to share with his younger brother. What I loved about this book was seeing Wendy come into her own to protect the man she loves as well as seeing why Micheal is the way he is with Wendy why he feels the need to protect.
Washington
This is where we get to really know Royce and we also get to meet a new member of the IG security team. This story is by far the most intense because its about politics and deception, scheming politicians and lobbyist are IG targets in this book but as intense as it starts it finishes with Parker and Skylar making plans for the future and welcoming two new fur babies into their life’s....
With each book I’m falling more and more in love with the characters as they us the life experiences to help others and I can’t wait for more from the very talented Audrey Catalan.

As with Ms Carlan’s previous serial, Calendar Girl; I have been totally addicted to and eagerly anticipating each new instalment of International Guy. Unfortunately, Volume 3 is my least favourite so far. The London story was just OK, with the most interesting parts centring around Geneva and the tour of London. Berlin was only saved by the storyline that focused around Wendy and Mick, as without their input, it was grating. An obligatory stalker, repetitive scenes between Skyler and Parker, Skyler’s constant adolescent dialogue and juvenile mannerisms, and the overload of I love you’s, that very simply equated to I love the hot sex……I must say I’m a little baffled as to why Ms Carlan has begun to portray Skyler as an immature airhead as I don’t remember her being this obtuse in the previous stories.

In Washington D.C. the book really took off and while most things political bore me to tears, the introduction of the sexy, and super smart Kendra and a plot that was devastating, but gripping too, certainly set an exciting pace. I also think that the story was permitted to flow more with minimal Skyler presence and the serious and controversial storyline made it impossible to put down. So basically, my 3 Star review is solely for Washington D.C. as without this story, Volume 3 would have been ordinary at best.

I was very much looking forward of this part of the International Guy-series, because of the destinations of London and Berlin.
And they didn't disappoint.
But first of all the cliffhanger from the previous part got continued and we finally knew what happened to Wendy as well as whether Sky and Parker were able to talk with each other and forgive each other for their false accusation. Especially for Parker as he was in the wrong.
As the story progresses, the parts in the actual city or the story line there somehow fades more to the background as the main story gets more shape and new conflics arise.
Nevertheless was London interesting and the reader got to know some parts, which might not be on the usual touristy route.
In the London part we see (finally) Parker and Skylar grow as a couple and solving one of Parkers cases for International Guy together. Somehow there the solutions sounded a little bit to easy.
After London the guy have contract in Berlin, where we get to see some more history of Parker with the introduction of his brother. He was mentioned here and there previously, but finally he really appeared. Coincidently it was also convenient that he was in Berlin, as he could immediately help with the case. But he was not the only help. Also Wendy and Michael (Wendys fiancee) went to Berlin to help finishing the contract. Again some further background story is revealed, this time for Wendy and Michael. These littel episodes are always something to look forward to as it shapes the charakters.
Last but not least work took the guys to Washington to help passing a special bill through the congress.
Well for me the beginning was a little bit boring as I know very little how in America those bills are passed and what is required. BUT once those few pages were over the story continued, and somehow from Royce passed appeared and at the moment it looks very promising, this story-arc. It will be interesting, what is going to develop there.
The case that the guys had to work was also quite unusual to those from the past. In general it sounded quite easy, but Audrey Carlan chose a topic, which is not easy and very controversial.
In my opinion it was good that the guys had a certain attitude and followed their believes instead of just fulfilling their contact.
Again the end solution felt a little bit rushed and tooo easy when everything fell in place, but that is creative liberty.
In volume 1 the story started with 3 guys, until now the group of people grew even further and all of them have quite interesting personalities to explore.
As the plot thickens everything get prepared for the big showdown in volume 4 and meanwhile I have my assumptions who will be the bad guy/girl and what might happen further. I am very much looking forward, how that will play out.
In general the reading flow is great and exciting which makes it hard to put the book down.

InternationalGuy London is the next installment in this series. I have really loved the relatinship between Skylar and Parker. SkyPark has really grown on me and I am rooting for a happy ending for them.
This installment picks up with Skylar and Parker reuniting after the drama in the last book. Can Parker trust Skylar again?
Parker is called to London to help struggling writer Geneva James get he mojo back to finish her third book in her series. Parker decides to bring Skylar, and she fangirls for the author. This was a fun part of the series bringing these characters into the romance novel genre. Geneva fangirls over Skylar right back, and wants her to star in the movie adaptatin of her books. There is alot of chemistry going on throughout this part.
Lots of Rachel and Nate Van Dyken cameos in this part too. This adds a lot of fun for fans of them.
And there is a Sophie sighting from Paris here as well.
Stay tuned as we are off to Berlin next......

International Guy – Berlin
 
The next stop in the IG series is Berlin.  The team is there to help an auto company launch a new campaign. The whole gang ends up being involved with Wendy and Mick playing a role too.  Mick is the ex of Monika who has hired IG.
We also meet Paul, Parker’s brother and his new love interest.
The ominous text messages being sent to Parker and Skylar also continue.  They are getting creepier, and I expect that to takes a role in more parts of the series.
The characters are a family, and throughout the stories you feel a part of it too.  Skylar and Parker are great together, and are one of the highlights of these books.
And of course, any fans of Rachel Van Dyken will just love the scenes of Rachel and Nate as Skylar’s bodyguard.
Next stop is Washington DC….


 International Guy – Washington DC
 
The IG team is called to Washington DC to help a cosmetics company get a new bill passed.  This was a very different book in the series as there were more serious issues addressed.  The company hurts animals in the process of testing their products. They also want to get things accomplished in a crooked way.
 
The IG team has hired a lawyer, who just happens to be Bo’s ex, Kendra. This adds for some drama, but I think there will be more of this story to come out.  I do not think it is as it seems.
 
This book takes on the feel of Washington DC with politics, right vs wrong and some graphic descriptions of backstories from characters while telling this part. It was one of the best told parts of these novellas.
 
There is some lightness and happiness also when the whole IG team are now the owners of furry babies.
 
 
Looking forward to the next installments and the answer to some of my questions– Will Skylar and Parker continue with their HEA, What is Kendra and Bo’s story, who is sending the strange texts to Parker and Skylar, Will we leave more about Annie, their assistant?
 
Next stop is Madrid….

In London, these two really firm up their devotion to each other and start to envision a future together. It was so cool to see them help a big author, while dealing with security issues and working through major trust obstacles started in the previous book. Also, some creepy messages are coming up? Makes me worried what is to come. Plus the beginning starts on such a down note that I cried.
In Berlin, Wendy's honey takes a bigger role in the story. I do love the bits where we see their relationship and connection. Things are secure and cozy with Parker and Skylar for now. I think we all needed this ahhhhhh moment. However, the creepy texts have continued and who knows where it will lead! I'm loving this journey.
DC covers a couple sensitive subjects that will tug at your heart and shed a light on some things. This is the first time IG has dealt with a contract that they would regret- good thing they have a sexy smart lawyer now! I have so many thoughts as to who the crazy stalker is, but I could be way off. I’ll have to wait and find out.

I have fallen in love with International Guy! This three city installment had me on the edge of my seat! There are deep parts that make your blood run cold. Animal cruelty...sexual assault...crazy stalker(s). I couldn't read this at a slow pace. I am enjoying seeing each character, of the eclectic crew, unfold. I want more!

International Guy volume 3 picks up exactly where volume 2 left off, so if you haven’t read the previous, go back and do it!
Tonight, my life path is laid out in front of me, spooky like a fork in the road. - Skylar
Wendy is still recovering in the hospital after being shot, Parker and Skylar are working on their issues with each other and their relationship. With this first story we are off to London and the job requires both Parker and Skylar. They need to help a romance author find her groove and find the inspiration to finish her story.
The second story Parker is off to Berlin to work on a campaign for a car company. We get to learn a little more about Mick, Wendy’s fiancé, when someone from his past comes back in a big way. Can I say how much I love Wendy?!?
The third and final story in this volume has Parker and the guys of IG working in Washington DC and working with their newly hired lawyer, who just so happens to have a past with our boy Royce. This story does deal with animal testing, and several other issues that may be difficult for some to read, so be warned.
Throughout the three stories Parker and Skylar’s relationship continues to bloom and they continue to work on their past issues. Also both Parker and Skylar are receiving texts and messages from a creepy stalker person. I’m so curious to find out who this is….I definitely have my own thoughts on who it may be.
I am loving this serious and the whole IG group. I can’t wait for future volumes to see what is in store next!

I love the International Guy series. I enjoy all the books I’ve read by Audrey Carlan. There is plenty of heat in all her stories!

Back with our darlings from International Guy.

On the last job things got a bit dangerous. Wendy got shot! And Parker thought Skyler had cheated on him.

And that's where we start with the London Book.

Wendy's still not woken up from her surgeries and Parker and Skyler are still not over the missing trust issue in their relationship. BUT, they're working on it, and the new job needs both of them to be in London. A famous author lost her muse and she needs to finish this book sequel asap!

Story 2 will take us Berlin for a last-minute ad campaign for a car company.
This story will bring back someone from Wendy's fiancé Mick's past.

And in the last book we're in Washington, D.C. for some dangerous political case about a cosmetics company and animal testing! ... and for that we need to hire a lawyer for IG - and she might have a past with our boy Royce!

And during all those stories Skyler and Parker are getting slightly creepy/threatening texts!
Who's the new stalker? And is he/she dangerous???

══════════════════════

Well, that was really exciting and sweet and funny.

I really like these stories.

You have to get used to the guys and the writing and the happenings in the books. But once you get to know them all - it's a really great world to read about!

I adored the stories. London was amazing. The whole author-thing. The sightseeing. Perfect!

Berlin was cool too. I loved how much Wendy and her guy Mack are involved in the stories. And I loved that we finally got to meet Parker's military brother Paul and his new love!

Washington was more serious and dangerous and heartbreaking!

The stalker texting them all through those three books was very interesting too! We still don't know who it is - the next books will be very exciting!

I can't wait!

I'm still not completely in love with some of Audrey's writing style. All characters talk way too formal for my tastes. And what's with calling all love interests and partners MATE? Sounds like a shapeshifter romance! BUT I really enjoyed these 3 stories! Those 3 guys are just adorable and hilarious! I really hope we'll get that happy end for all of them by the end of the 12th story!

INTERNATINAL GUY, VOL III was another great book in this series. Sexy, funny, exciting & intersting & mysterious & adorable. ☺ Run to your nearest amazon for your own Parker, Bo & Royce & Mack & Paul ... - they will be sold out in no time!!! I just adore all of those guys! ☺
