Another superb book from a brilliant author. Every book I have read by her has been amazing. I love the storyline and characters. Would definitely recommend.

I loved the characters and the storyline development of this book. It was absolutely one of my favorites so far and I can't wait to delve in to the next one that this author writes. The storyline was simple, enjoyable, and entertaining.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This book is a quick read and hot and steamy. I haven't read the other books in the series but will add them to my "to read" list.

I loved this series. The adventures the IG crew went on took them to so many great places. I loved the lipstick messages. I loved that they were a family, no matter how different they were. You could count on drama, danger, and Skyler & Parker could steam up a sauna all on their own. I'm going to miss the series, but hope some of the supporting IG members get their stories too.

A continuation of the international series and being a jack of all trades to help his clients all while finding the love he is looking for. Another hit by Audrey Carlan!

IG has my emotions up, down and all around.
International Guy Volume 4 - Madrid, Rio & Los Angeles is a wonderful end to a year long journey. I'm am sad to see it end but am so happy I got to travel along with them. These stories have all the emotions, romance & heat I've come to love from Audrey Carlan but then there's also the relationship building, mystery, tension, angst & the stories that pull you in & not let you go.
I’ve said this before and I will say it again. I’ll shout it from the rooftop. You HAVE to read the books. Audrey has me just as wound up as I was with her CG series. This series is a journey. Once again I'm in love with all the characters. I'm left on the edge of my seat wanting more. I'd love to see Calendar Girl & International Guy on a TV screen. Would definitely need to be a mini-series. I am sad to leave these characters that I've come to know and love but am REALLY excited & will watch for the spinoffs for Wendy, Bo, Royce and anyone else Audrey sees fit to gift us with. Absolutely recommend.

Okay, now that I'm hooked (I still need to go back and read the first 6 installments) the series is over! These three take on a pop star in Madrid and then the stalker ramps up and Parker and Skye go to Rio with Paul and his partner to help him find out what is going on with his company and deal with his company. Just as that is coming to an end Parker and Paul's parents are involved in a hit and run back on Boston. It is a mad dash back home and finally the stalker is found out (not going to tell you who it is though). Now we are gliding along with harmony and Parker and Royce are forced to take on a job in L.A. doing a reality dating show. Perfect for Skye to finally get her man. The series wraps everything up with Parker and Skylar but there are still so many questions with Royce and Beau! Definitely need more!

Once again I really enjoyed Audrey Carlans series, it’s a continuation of the stories and adventures that the International Guys inc experience in their day to day work. I love that they have a new adventure in each city and it’s never the same thing over and over again. I was picked to review international guy Madrid,Rio, Los Angeles from Netgalley for an honest review.

MADRID
OMG my mind is just spinning after finishing Madrid. That sure was some rollercoaster Audrey Carlan took me on, and I fear it is far from over!
Before you get on a rollercoaster you start feeling the dread as you are waiting in line for the ride to start... as you are standing there watching it zoom past you with highs and lows and twists. Yeah Madrid starts with something I just didn't see coming. A betrayal that shocked me and had me dreading the rest of the ride.
Then the roller coasters starts - you are enjoying yourself feeling the excitement... that's when they head over to Madrid, and start working with a brand new pop star. This was full of those feel good moments. I love how Audrey writes characters that don't match the preconceived notions of beauty and perfection. Rather she embraces imperfections and shows how beautiful they are. It is one of my favorite things about her writing.
Then the damn twists started on this rollercoaster and my stomach dropped. Some I saw coming - ok, only halfway saw it! But then what unfolds... just no words. All I want to do is dive into the next book to see what is in store for everyone.
Madrid is a steamy installment in the IG series with some beautiful moments as dreams are followed and some intense, suspenseful moments that will have you holding your breath.

RIO
And the twists and turns keep coming at us in Rio. This book had so much going on it. I kept putting my kindle down bc I was afraid to see what would happen next, just to pick it up 10 seconds later so that I could find out what was going on.
Once again, I love how Audrey Carlan doesn't shy away from issues even if they involve the side characters. She tackles the issues and controversies head on, unapologetically, yet with heart.
For me this installment really focused on the importance of family in our lives. Whether it is the one you are born to or the family you choose.
On to the last book...

LOS ANGELES
I can't believe this series just ended after our trip to Los Angeles. 12 books... I truly can't believe it, it sounds like such a HUGE number but I sucked these books down.
Los Angeles tied everything up in a bright sparkly bow. Parker and Royce head to LA to help with a brand new reality show, but little do they know that Skyler is cooking up a little scheme that will shock the boys in LA. Don't worry it is all good ;)
I can't wait until Audrey Carlan decides to write more books in this IG world. The little hints we got at the future of the other members of the IG team have me salivating for more.
This series was a sexy, suspenseful, passionate journey around the world.

As I finished this book and series I am full of mixed emotions. Sad to see it end and because it did so beautifully. Yes I did cry a few times. Who couldn't with the love Parker and Sky have for eachother. This series is addicting because you end of loving the characters so much. Well except for one character lol.
This book is full of suspense, laughter, love, great steamy sex, and family. Thankful for Netgalley giving me this book. Thankful for the author what beautiful writing. Plus I am crossing my fingers that she gets inspired to write Bo and Royce story soon.

I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I have always loved the IG series. I love how it is a different city all the time and how they seem to know just how to help the next client even while dealing with so much else going on in their private lives. These three are the final part of the story and it wrapped up nice and I loved it.

This volume covers the last three novellas of the series. We continue on with Parker and Skyler’s love story, with the couple jetting off to Spain, Rio and Los Angeles. The mysterious notes take on a sinister edge and Tracey's attempts to control Skyler's life are becoming annoying to both her and the reader. Carlan does a great job at wrapping up Parker and Skyler's HEA but I was hoping to see more of Bo and Royce's stories before the end of the series.

I just love this series. I love the fact they r separate stories but all came together as one. This author does an amazing way of doing this. I highly recommend this to anyone

The Dream Maker, The Love Maker, and The Money Maker made up IG. Together, they advise the wealthiest people in the world: Hollywood hotshots, European royalty, and the CEOs of multibillion-dollar companies. And sometimes they can’t help it when things heat up and they end up in bed with their clients. The stories continues …
In Madrid, they helped a shy young singer finding her voice.  In Rio, we met Parker's extended family which he helped uncovered the family business financial woos. In LA, Parker is a judge for a reality show Mix and Match where there is a huge surprise.
Best final three – all the feels, action packed, suspense, drama, romance, HEA for Skyler and Parker. Bittersweet ending to a very unique series.

This was such an amazing book!!!

There was so much suspense, drama and so many things happening in this addition to the series. I absolutely love the IG family and how they will do anything to protect one another. They are truly amazing at what they do.

Sky and Parker continue to be a power house couple that we all strive to be. They are supportive, loving and just overall amazing.

I cannot wait to see where Audrey takes us next! This book was super sexy, full of suspense and left me wanting more.

In this installment of International Guy we travel the world and head to Madrid, Rio and Los Angeles. I loved the connection and chemistry between Parker and Sky and how perfect they are for each other. Parker and Sky's story is filled with suspense, mystery, surprises, steamy scenes and we finally find out who Sky and Parker's stalker is. Great writing, a wonderful series and all the beautiful cities we travel to along the way make this a five star read. This is Volume four and includes books ten, eleven and twelve. I look forward to reading more book by this author in the future.
