Received an ARC for an honest review.

This was a great final installment to Parker's side of the International Guy series - and yes, it does wrap up his and Sky's story pretty nicely. Without giving away spoilers, I really liked how they dealt with the stalker, although it got WAY more serious than I expected it to. Also, my original thought of who the "bad guy" was was quickly wiped away once Madrid started.

There are definitely some things that were questionable - mostly the gender stereotypes at play and some of the cloyingly sweet sentiments - but overall, it was still fun watching Parker and Sky come together.

My one real issue with this series is how little we get to know Bo and Royce. I wanted to know so much about their lives - ESPECIALLY during #12 - and it was so frustrating that we couldn't get their stories. I know that Carlan says that we'll get their stories, and even more Wendy, in future books, but I really think that she would have benefited by incorporating those stories into Parker's.

Overall, a fun read that kept me on the edge of my seat at times and kept me emotionally invested. I'm looking forward to the other stories. Especially Bo...after all those chicklets, I'm ready for him to get his.

Parker, Bo, Royce, and the rest of the gang are at it again. It picks up from the last book with Parker and Sky still not knowing who their stalker is and trying to figure out that mystery. Madrid shows off their skills helping a rising star reach her potential. They get to go to Rio and deal with family issues with Parker's brother and his love. In Los Angeles, they get a surprise while working on a reality dating show.

Audrey Carlan has given us love, mystery, family, and humor as they work their magic while figuring out who is after them. It reminds us of what we would do for love and for those we love. While this brings an end to Parker and Sky's story, she reminds us that there are more stories to be told about the other characters we have met in this series. I have enjoyed the roller coaster ride that Audrey has taken me from discovering what IG does for others as well as seeing a love go through the ringer and come out stronger. I look forward to reading about everyone else I met in the IG family.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Montlake Romance for this privilege.

Awww I'm sad this was the last book! This series was amazing and this book was the same.
I guess I could do a reread.

Was I sad to see International Guy coming to an end hell yes but Audrey Carlan gave me everything I wanted and more in her final instalment of this great series.
Madrid; Skylar is just what the IG team need for their next client in Madrid, a young girl who is about to explode on the pop scene problem is she has no confidence and needs a makeover, this was just what Parker needed to make sure Skylar and his puppies were with him and protected but just when he thinks everyone is safe once again danger strikes......
Rio; This is family issue and as always the team protect family and friends so they have no hesitation heading off to Rio to look into Parker’s brother Paul’s boyfriends business which has been leaking money for a couple of months. Family means everything to Parker and he won’t standby and watch Paul hurt especially as Paul stepped up to protect Skylar when her security team were not available.
Los Angeles: The final instalment and what a way to end a series, this book brings all the other 11 books together as we see truths come to light from people the team and Skylar trusted. We get to attend a wedding and we get to learn a bit more about Royce and Bo which hopefully means more books about them and this series would not be complete if Parker and Skylar didn’t get the HEA they so deserve and what a perfect ending for the couple we have all come to love over these 12 books.
I loved this series, I loved the characters, I loved the plots and I love the idea of 12 stories about friends, families and lovers. Looking forward to were we go next with this very talented author.

Parker is my dream hero and this final installment was everything I could ask for in a finale! With plenty of drama, mystery, and sexy escapades, this series is the perfect escape. I love the international locales and exotic settings almost as much as the hero! Well done, Audrey Carlan!

I can’t get enough of the International Guy family. The love between the guys, Wendy and Skylar is fantastic.
Book one takes us to Madrid where Sky and Parker are working together, alongside Bo, to help an up and coming popstar gain a little confidence in herself. Of course, the crazy stalker messages are still coming through to Sky and Park. Plus that ending, oh man. Talk about scary!
Book two takes us to Rio and this may be one of my favorite books of the series! We got more of Paul and Dennis. Rio had me on the edge of my seat! I couldn’t stop reading. I definitely had my suspicions of who the stalker was, I figured the correct person, but oh man Audrey Carlan went above and beyond with the craziness of it all. I LOVED IT!
Book three has Park and Royce heading to Los Angeles to be judges on a dating show, but they got way more than what they bargained for in the best way possible. Los Angeles was what everyone needed.
The epilogue was PERFECT. It truly was the perfect ending to Skylar and Parker’s story. I hope to see more of the crew in the future, because I fell for Royce, Bo, and Wendy and I know there is so so much more to their stories, especially with how Los Angeles ended for the boys.
A must read book and series!

International Guy Los Angeles, was the finale we all needed for SkyPark's story. After finding out the shocking truth with Tracey behind not only the threatening texts and the bombing at Parker's apartment but also the bomb that killed Skyler's parents, Skyler was in a dark place. IG LA takes place a few months after Tracey was found out. Parker tries to help Skyler get through her depression. At Wendy and Mick's wedding she realizes she wants to marry Parker but he wants to wait til she is in a better place. He doesn't want her to mask her pain with the wedding then regret her decision later. Little does he know, she is more then ready. Elliott, Skyler's new manager, and her plan an elaborate way to propose to him herself! It's so sweet, and I'm so happy they get their happily ever after. Thanks for the wonderful series, Audrey! I can't wait for Bo's book!

To be honest, I almost didn't want to read this one...not because I didn't think I would love it (which I did), but because I knew that would mean the series was over. I was hooked on this author with a weekend binge of Calendar Girls (yes, all 12 in a very, very short couple of days) and have loved every book since. This series reminded me of Calendar Girls, in that it mixes up locations but has something that ties all of it together. Add in the suspense and it's been a winning combination.

Definitely read them in order if you haven't started them yet. And clear off your schedule because you won't be doing much else besides reading once she pulls you in!

Holy smokes! What an ending to an awesome series! I couldn’t wait for the last three books to be released, and let me tell you what, I was not disappointed! In Madrid, we see Parker and Skylar’s love grow even stronger, especially when faced with chaos. We keep getting closer and closer to the stalker being revealed….who could it be?! In Rio, all is finally revealed! It’s about time! All the clues finally added up, and the big reveal did not disappoint. Finally, we close the series in Los Angeles, where Skylar and Parker finally get their HEA. What a lovely way to end the series….with enough about Bo and Royce to keep their stories alive in future novels. Thank you Audrey for another roller-coaster of ups and downs, but smiles all the way!

This was a wonderful journey for Skyler and Parker. We saw their love grow and saw how strong they stood together when someone is threatening them. I enjoyed seeing who the stalker was and the thrill of trying to figure out who it was. We also get to see the sense of family the three men have built within each others lives. This was a wonderful series and can't wait to read more by Audrey Carlan. This is the last book of the series and this author did a great job wrapping it up and giving you the closure you will need after reading this entire series. The only exception is I really want to know Bo and Royce's stories, but the author says they are coming.

I’m sad this is somewhat over! Once again, Audrey has done an amazing job with her creative imagination! Absolutely loved the last 3 books!! Can’t wait for the next stories to come out!! Loved!!!

And so it comes to an end. The final installment of International Guy. This time it takes place in Madrid, Rio and Los Angeles.
Parker and Skylar are solid and try to spend as much time together as possible. But their relationship is not blessed with luck. Skylar has a stalker and Parker gets threatend. In the previous books it was already alured, who it might be. But Audrey Carlan managed it to lead the reader to wrong directions. Even though with some remarks in the Madrid installement there was a possibility on who the culprit might be, but it took until Rio to finally find out how and especially why.
The book turned from romance novel in quite some to to a crime / thriller novel with explosions and conspirancies.
For me as a reader it was like an emotional rollercoaster. One minute everything is good and they are lovey-dovey and the next they are fighting for their live.
Towards the end I was also curious, whether Parkers brothers in heart, Bo and Royce, would also find their sweethearts, but these stories will probably be told in a different book.

In general it was an entertaining read, but there were some things, which I didn't necessarily liked.
One issue was that there was tooo much sex. Somehow I had the feeling, that their sex scenes were just in place for the sake of having sex. It didn't really contribute to the action or the flow. And to be honest, sometimes I just run over the page.
Towards the end, everything felt also too easy. Everybody got their happy end (apart from Bo and Royce, who have to wait a little longer) and everybody was just friends with everybody.



Thank you very much to Montlake publishing and NetGalley for providing an ARC to review.

It’s always been about love, money, and dreams. Love of the work. Make as much money as possible. Help make dreams come true. Now I know none of that matters if you don’t have the right people in your life. My team, but more important, the love of a good woman. My future lies in her hands, and I’ve never been happier.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Audrey Carlan is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book

The fourth and final installment of IG was amazing and worth the wait. It kept me on my toes and I loved it. Sad to see the series end but hopefully we will get more stories off of this one.

Audrey Carlan has done it again. I am so happy it ended the way that it did. She has done this before where she extends the epilogue past your normal 1-3 years which I love. This last volume had the suspense that I love when reading. However, I found it to be a little predictable. I also found Sky a little naive. But, with that being said, I loved how the story played out. I truly wish that we were given a little more about the other characters stories, but I know I won't be disappointed in any of her new releases that come out. Another thing I love was that I connected to all of her characters. There was something in each that was relatable. I think all of the places that they went were awesome and fun and each had their own story.
My favorite part of Los Angeles was that Skyler took hold of her own destiny. She knew what she wanted and she found such a fun way to get it.

I truly am sad that this series is done. I loved the places and the adventures it took us on. I love the way Audrey writes and I look forward to her next book.

What the frack?? The shockers, developments, and twists in this book bout freaking killed me. I love how Parker and Skyler end but I want more lots more. Let's see where Bo and Royce go especially after the little tidbit revealed in the last bit of the book. And omg the crazy stalker holy bananas. Audrey you bout killed me but I loved every minute of it! Now about Royce and Kendra..

I don't even know where to begin, except, to say I didn't want it to end. Parker and Skyler were absolutely beautiful. You can't help but get pulled into their journey and that of their family. A true page tuner...I couldn't put it down and had no desire to.

“It’s my job. Your happiness, it’s all that’s important to me.”


This book has quite a twist in it that will have you questioning motives, decisions, sensing betrayal and put your emotions through the wringer! I’m afraid to say too much without giving away any spoilers!!!

“It’s not that I don’t think he’s right for you, it’s just you’re doing all the changing for him. What has he done to make his own commitment known?”


Never Stop Dreaming

RIO: INTERNATIONAL GUY BOOK 11

This book is such an emotional read from the start. The unknown, promises, betrayal, hope…some humor and good steaminess sprinkled in.

“You feel like heaven raining down on my skin...I want to drown in you, taste your soul…”


This book will test your faith on moving on after the ultimate betrayal. Questions the core of your existence. Your judgement. Trust. Faith in others.

LOS ANGELES: INTERNATIONAL GUY BOOK 12


“Just roll with life as it comes. Stop letting fear drive your decisions. It’s time to let love take the driver’s seat.”


This book is everything!!! As much as I didn’t want this series to end...you will not be disappointed with the way Audrey Carlson left the IG team. I sure hope some tidbits we were left with is a hint of more to come some day...

“I’m going to lick my wounds and regroup. She’s it. My endgame. I just have to find a way to convince her I’m hers.”


To my Dream Girl . . . To my Dream Maker . . . HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE . . . Love, US

Hang onto your seats and enjoy the ride of Parker and Skyler as the mystery behind the messages are finally revealed. And boy are we in for a surprise with this one. I love SkyPark. They are a sexy hot couple and there is no stopping them from being together. Bonus we still get everyone making their appearance in this one. You can't help but to fall in love with this whole group of people. I got misty eyed at the end of this one because it's that fantastic. Major heart squeezes as the International Guy Parker and Skyler stories come to the end. But don't worry we haven't seen the last of the gang yet. I'm so looking forward to more Wendy, Royce and Bo to come and the drama that follows. I couldn't put this one down. This is by far one of my favorite series out there.

International Guy book 10
Madrid
Audrey Carlan
🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️

Holy crap, this series continues to keep us on tender hooks, if you have been taking in the Skylar/ Parker stalker drama this one is the one where you think everything is made clear…. Then surprise.

Heading to Spain with Sky in toe to help a new singer find her new pop star self, Parker thinks that they are safe. But as the saga of the stalker continues to create issues, it becomes very clear that this person really has it in for Sky and Parker, and being 8 hours away hasn’t averted his or hers nastiness.

While wishing away their home problems, Sky, Parker and Bo are sent to help Julietta a new up and coming singer. She had the voice of an angel but extreme lack of body worth. It is Bo’s crazy sexy Antica and style who helps her in the clothing department but Skylar plays a much bigger role in helping her self image. Taking her in like a little sister, they create a pop star in 10 days, leaving another job complete and successful.

But in return home, the apparent stalker is known, but not everything is as it seems. I didn’t see it, but this one ends in a huge bang…. I’m off to read Rio now.





International Guy Rio
Book 11
Audrey Carlan
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Un. Freaking. Believable. This was without a doubt the best book in series. It’s a culmination story, bringing together a lot Of The strings that have been dangled in front of our faces.

After the explosive ending of Madrid, I knew Rio would more than the normal IG story, that has the team helping someone needing something, but as an injured Parker heads to Rio to help his brother, Paul’s new boyfriends family owned company wth embezzlement issues, we got more insight into hot Paul, his background and also Dennis who has taken Paul’s heart. But along with the company work, Dennis’ family issues and of course the stalker , that has now almost killed those closest to Skylar their lay low idea is once again put to the ultimate test.

As the stalker is confirmed, and another family member targeted all bets are off. Now it’s war, but it’s poor Skylar caught right in the middle, this is one story you’ll want to s art and not stop. Thank god for holidays , I was able to enjoy it in one sitting. I know I’ve said it before, but this series is amazing, sexy, sweet, hot, and explosive. I’m feeling to finish book 12 now and the ending of the International Guy series. I’m sad, and excited all at once.



International Guy # 12
Los Angeles
Audrey Carlan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a perfect ending to an amazing series. Los Angeles is the perfect ending for Parker and Skylar, from their coming back from devastation and ruin after the stalker was outed, to their happy ever after.

The beginning of this story was somewhat like the previous stories, a new job for International Guy, but this one is a little different. Without giving anything away, I’ll just say that even with all the twists and turns Audrey has thrown at us, she left one last one…. Or, Maybe more than one.

Where this is the end of International Guy as we know it, I’m so looking forward to Bo’s, Royce and Wendy’s follow on stories. International Guy will go down as one of all time favourite book series.
