International Guy #4
Milan
The fourth book in the sexy International Guy Series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Audrey Carlan.
Milan, Italy. Where fashion rules, these twelve models are getting schooled in the sweet arts of sensuality and seduction.
With intimate pictures of me and starlet Skyler Paige igniting a tabloid sexstorm, the gig in Milan is perfectly timed. I need a distraction. And what a distraction: a dozen gorgeous Italian lingerie models—every one of them a mouthwatering temptation…
The problem? These aren’t professionals. They’re real women—soft, lush, and inexperienced. They need International Guy to show them how to embrace their sexy on the runway.
With my personal life challenges and just a week to empower each one, I’m not on my game. All I can think about is Skyler. Her voice. Her body. Her taste. I swore I’d never settle down. With so many women in so many cities, can I really consider taking myself off the market for just one woman?

Three close friends have made a consulting firm. Most of the time through this series they have to leave Boston for their work. This time Parker and Bo are sent to help a lingerie designer empower women. I loved the message they gave to women of all sizes. We are all beautiful in our own way. I love this series and seeing Parker in his relationship.

Un tome une nouvelle fois different et très grisant. Je suis plus que ravie de la tournure que prennent les choses . La mission est certes présente mais le focus se fait plus sur Parker qui se livre enfin dans ce tome. Prochaine étape désormais en savoir plus sur Bo et Royce

Edit: Rereading all of them with a friend
I liked this story better than the last. Probably because the "main" story were more interesting and I liked that it focused so much on women being happy looking they way they do. The main theme is that beauty arent a size thing, and its also about what you feel on the inside. I like that idea :D
I am getting more and more interesting in the "second" main story, which is the love story between Skyler and Parker (but again, some of the more erotic scenes seems like the same over and over again, so fewer would have been preferred)

What an AMAZING Series by Audrey Carlan.. Milan is no exception to that.. Just when you think you could not love the dream team and the Assistant of IG more.... YOU DO!
This book was different and had a different feel than the others so far. This one was a bit more intimate in the job they went to accomplish. He and Bo head to Milan to work with models for a lingerie shoot. The models that were hired were more your everyday woman in that they are all shapes and sizes, came from different jobs and backgrounds and had limited to no experience on the runway. It was immediately realized that they were going to have to take a different approach. Through trials and tribulations they work hard to make these ladies comfortable and see their true value. It was really heartwarming really. Trust me you need to read this to actually SEE how this turned out! AMAZING
The other side to this are Parker and Sky, of course.. Wendy makes a small mistake, well sort of a big mistake that has all eyes on Parker and Sky... BUT, was it really that bad? Is it something they can work with? Skyler is still upset with him over Sophie and what he had said to her and Parker is still a bit jealous over Rick.... Can they work through this and find their true potential?? I will say it has been so much fun watching them grow and learn what a real relationship should be. There are some big decisions that are made and even more that could be coming in the near future....
If you are looking for a fun series that has some steam, twists and turns, lots of laughs and is just overall fun then this is the Series for you!! I cannot wait to continue.

Loving this series
Milan takes Parker and Skyler’s relationship to another level and we get to see how important trust is even when your past has you doubting you will ever trust someone with your heart again. This instalment shows us and makes us believe that all woman are beautiful when we get to meet a designer who is running a fashion show with woman who are not models they are your everyday mum all different shapes and sizes and it’s Parker and Bo who give them the confidence to walk down a runway in lingerie and be comfortable in their own bodies. What a great message to give to the world “Embrace your body if you believe you are sexy so will the world”

I was so excited to see this Milan installment was out. This has to be the best one so far.

Milan was very enticing, and I loved how Parker realized quite a few things - both about himself and about Sky!
July 24, 2018
Milan is my favorite International Guy installment so far! Not only does Parker and Sky make a big decision, but the message the guys teach their client is important to all women. It’s not only wicked hot, but it’s very moving and encouraging.
Park and Sky made me so happy! They make such a sizzlingly hot couple and the beauty of it is that it’s not just about sex. There is so much more than that. It’s so much fun witnessing their chemistry and the depth of their affection for each other. And when their relationship is tested, my heart started pounding harder! Gah I love them both so much!
The Dream Maker and Lovemaker tag-teaming the process of coaching normal women to embrace their sexy? Utter perfection. And Park’s first idea? It was inspired. And hilarious as it pertains to Bo’s reaction. I loved that part! Then Park’s idea for the catwalk/stage? Maybe I’m a softie, but that really touched my heart and soul as a woman, especially a woman who has the same or similar esteem issue as some of the models.
I don’t believe I could love Milan any more than I already do! It was wicked HOT as can always be expected from Audrey Carlan, moving, inspiring, touching, and completely epic! I cannot wait to see what else we get to enjoy! Audrey Carlan rocks serials like no one else!

I didn’t read the first lot of 3 stories before these ones and do recommend you do to get the background.
Parker is the CEO of IG a business he runs advising the wealthiest people in the world on love and life. This time he’s in Milan to lend his help for a fashion show, lingerie for real woman. His relationship with Skyler becomes exclusive and they have to battle the paparazzi relentless pursuit into their relationship. I think we all know how brutal social media can be and dating an a-list celebrity cannot be easy. I find the guys Parker, Bogart and Royce to be annoying frats boys. I didn't care for them to be honest.

Audrey Carlan brings beauty in all shapes and sizes to center stage in this book. I adore this installment so much. Every woman should feel beautiful in their own skin and love themselves for who they are and the guys provide support and motivation for them to realize this. Every woman should know their worth and Audrey shows this in such a passionate as well as sexy way.
I love Parker and Sky’s relationship so much. The support and compassion they have for one another is just as spectacular as the love and extremely hot sex that they share. They make me giddy and I didn’t even want Parker and Sky to be a couple when they first started out in this series. Thank God they have this mind blowing attraction to one another that starts to rock them so internally because they relationship is tested right from the start. You will root for them just like Audrey’s other amazing couples as you also may have a tizzy or two.
My man Bo makes me laugh and appreciate him even more in this installment and you need to read it to understand why! The men make my heart explode as Ms. Carlan tackles self esteem issues in such an inspiring and breathtaking way. I battle with body image and society’s expectations, as well as so many other women do so, I was really pulled deep into this story.
Audrey this book touched me in ways I’m not even sure I could explain enough to show its power and motivation. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This story is captivating, encouraging, awe-inspiring and incredible and that is all because of the power behind your words, Audrey Carlan, and proves once again why you a #1 NYT best selling author!

There isn’t enough words to express how much I love Parker. This man is so damn sweet and loving he just makes you melt into a puddle of feels, seriously.
Milan brings us a fashion show, a fashion show for not your normal type models but models with curved, plus size models. Teachers, moms, all kinds and they’re about to flaunt off just how beautiful they are but they need help, plenty of it and who better to help than international guy.
We get to see just how caring Parker is in this one, we see him show these women their bodies are beautiful and honestly, it was emotional af to me. I love him, so damn much.
I loved, LOVED seeing Parker and Skyler interactions. They’re adorable and I can’t wait for more.

J'avais adoré Copenhague mais dans Milan on retrouve ce que je n'aime pas chez Audrey Carlan.
L'histoire est assez superficiel, tous comme les personnages.
L'histoire autours de Milan est trop courte et n'ai su'une excuse pour voyager. Les conseils données aux mannequins sont banals et ne résolvent pas grand chose à mon sens ...
On verra le prochain tome

3.5/5
http://www.my-bo0ks.com/2018/09/inter...
Me voilà partie pour Milan en compagnie de Parker et Bo d'International Guy. Après un troisième tome à Copenhague qui m'a vraiment emballé, j'étais vraiment enthousiaste à l'idée de savoir ce que nous réservait ce quatrième opus, à Milan.
Cette fois-ci, c'est en Italie que sont appelés nos International Guy. Ils viennent au secours d'un créateur de lingerie qui a choisi des jeunes femmes de toutes tailles, toutes origines et toutes classes sociales. En gros, Madame tout le monde pour défiler. Mais cette mission ne sera pas facile, car nos deux héros vont devoir donner confiance à ses modèles amatrices.
Je vous avoue qu'à la lecture du résumé et notamment la partie où il est question d'une situation compromettante avec une autre femme, j'ai eu vraiment peur. Peur que l'histoire entre Parker et Skyler soit déjà sur la sellette et que Parker face... comme à son habitude dirons-nous. D'autant plus qu'à la fin du dernier tome Skyler a de nombreux doutes sur la fidélité et du statut de leur couple. Fort heureusement pour moi, ce n'est pas encore le moment où tout dérape jusqu'au point de non-retour.
Ce quatrième nous offre une nouvelle mission intéressante et pleine de surprises. Je dois dire que je m'attentais à ce que Parker flanche rapidement au vue de jeunes femmes en lingerie. Je suis mauvaise langue, il est professionnel et mène parfaitement à bien sa mission.
J'ai apprécié en savoir plus sur Bo, que l'on avait trop peu vu depuis le début. Participant un peu à cette mission, on cerne mieux sa personnalité et ses ambitions. Mais ce n'est pas le seul sur qui on en apprend. Parker gagne en intérêt au fil des tomes. Si au début je ne lui trouvais rien d'intéressant, trop dans l'excès et vraiment prêt à sauter sur tout ce qui bouge, depuis le troisième tome, je trouve qu'on apprend enfin plus et notamment ce qui se cache derrière cette carapace sulfureuse.
La relation Parker/Skyler est également bien présente. J'aime les réserves qu'ils ont l'un envers l'autre. Bien que les choses aillent assez rapidement et les difficultés soient assez vite surmontées. En revanche, je trouve qu'ils gagnent en profondeur, et deviennent mignons à suivre.
En conclusion, International Guy, Milan m'aura vraiment surprise dans le bon sens. J'ai l'impression que l'auteure, Audrey Carlan développe vraiment plus ses personnages ce qui se répercute positivement sur son histoire. Hâte de découvrir la suite.

There were pictures everywhere of Parker Ellis (International Guy Inc. CEO, wealthy), & Skyler Paige Lumpkin by the pool naked.
Wendy (exc. secretary) lucked out Parker didn’t fire her.
Was Skyler “Peaches” cheating on Parker with Rick Pettington her (on/off again BF/costar)?
Tracey (Skyler’s BFF/agent) wants her to make a public statement about the pictures.
Skyler takes Parker to meet her family.
Cathy Skyler’s mother, & Randy greet him.
Rachel Van Dyken (bodyguard), Nate Van Dyken (bodyguard), Wendy & Michael Pritchard (Wendy’s fiancé) were there also.
This is Italy’s hottest cabaret show: Martina, Viola, & Francesca.
The walkway is alive with all size/shapes & races of models.
It is time for T-Bone (woman’s intimate bra/underwear line) to show his wears.
Parker travels the globe. Will he ever fall in love?
Warning: This book contains extremely graphic adult content, violence, or expletive language &/or uncensored sexually explicit material which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written erotic romance book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great romantic movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. Not my normal read but I liked it, that said I will rate it at 4/5 stars.

Another stellar installment of International Guy and Parker is just as delicious and charming as ever! My affection for him continues to simmer. I call dibs! I could just lick him all over! And Milan - gah - what I would give to visit and celebrate my Italian-ess!
I was incredibly excited to dive in to Milan after the way book 3 ended with Sky so unsure of herself and how she fit into Parkers life. I physically felt her insecurity and my heart broke a little for her. But rest assured, I am properly pieced back together after this juicy episode. Because - SkyPark! I love these two together. They are sexy and sweet. Both are finding their way and learning to navigate this new territory of relationships, jealousy, long distance plus the paparazzi. It's fresh. Entertaining. All expertly written and paced!
Parker is off to help 12 regular ladies learn to model for a lingerie fashion show in Milan. The designer mistakenly thinks raunchy moves and barely there pieces empowers them. He misses his mark just slightly. However Parker comes to the rescue and recognizes right away that these ladies need confidence and class, not stripper moves that demean them. He goes to work one woman at a time helping them embrace their sexy. (I adore these little take aways from Audrey's books. "Embrace your sexy" is Milan's and those are powerful words to live by.) I love that these aren't bony, thin supermodels. Instead they are wives, career professionals or moms. This! This I can relate to! We all need to love the body we're in after all.

Milan by Audrey Carlan is the fourth book in her brand new twelve novella length series,
International Guy
. A series I was a little worried about reading because I initially had the impression that Parker Ellis was a cad and a womanizer. I soon learned that he is a dedicated businessman, best friend, and a devoted son who doesn't take his emotional entanglements lightly but is NOT yet ready to settle down.
Picking up after Copenhagen and some more developments into the relationship between Parker & Skyler, we next see Parker and Bo on their latest project in Milan. A lingerie fashion show featuring everyday women as models. A job that takes some insightful and sensitive work from the International Guy team and is a huge success.
Sexy, intense, and a very well-written and enjoyable read. Told almost entirely from Parker's POV, this book keeps you interested in the International Guy organization and desperate to know just what on earth is going on in Parker's head. Up next is International Guy: San Francisco. Enjoy!

Oh how I need a distraction. The best distraction i can come up with is a dozen gorgeous Italian lingerie models.
The only problem I have with them? These ladies are novices. None of them have any experience in modelling. These are real women. Such soft, lush, and a huge temptation for me. I have to clear my head and concentrate on the sexy woman that I'm seeing back in New York not look at these lovely ladies. These ladies definitely need my experience and International Guy to show them how to do their best and learn embrace their sexiness on the runway in front of many people.

With book four in the International Guy series Parker & Bo find themselves in Milan, the home of fashion where their latest job finds them having to turn 12 average housewives into glamorous lingerie models, ready to strut their stuff on a runway at a fashion show and less than a week to do it. As well as having all this on his plate, Parker is having to come to terms with the realisation that he’s falling in love with Skylar Paige, his movie star girlfriend, but with his every interaction with the opposite sex, however innocent, being scrutinised & reported on by the paparazzi, is there enough trust between them for their burgeoning relationship to survive.
I loved the underlying message in this book with the use of “normal” sized women as models. That they are just as, if not more beautiful than any supermodel. Anna Maria’s husband said it all when he told his wife that “she was the sexiest woman alive and even more so after having his babies. He loved how her body has changed, because it showed how their lives had grown and changed together. She was a mother now. It was a new role, a new body. And when she was an old woman, a grandmother she’d have a grandmother’s body, and he’d love her even more then because she would’ve given him a legacy.” Now that’s the kind of husband every woman should have

International Guy Volume 2
Audrey Carlan
Milan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s been a little while but I’m glad yo be back in with Parker, Skylar and the IG team. If you haven’t read the 1st Volume in this series, you should definitely start there. There is a lot of story, that although is different city with different clients, the past of International Guy front man, Parker Ellis continues throughout.
Today Parker was heading to Milan, to help with a fashion show for real women’s lingerie. I loved this story, gone are the days where models are stick thin, and Parker and Bo are walking into a storm of nerves and drama. Wrangling an over zealous designer and nervous real women means the International Guys will pull out all the stops. Showing women what they really are was a beautiful message, received loud and clear.
While Milan is the story of fashion, Parker and Skylar continue their tumultuous relationship. While she’s hours away, dealing with the press and Parker’s job on top of her own movie filming comes to a head. Parker wakes up to the fact that Skylar is more than a roll in the sheets, she’s someone very special. Watching 1st hand their relationship growing is so nice. Even when your famous life and love doesn’t come easy, even for The Dreammaker.

Embrace your sexy
Omg what a great read. I was anxiously awaiting for Milan after Copenhagen leaving me wanting more.
Milan was awsome. I love Parker and Bo. They are the perfect best friends/brothers.
Parker and Skyler's relationship goes to the next level. After the leak of the photos, Skyker and Parker show how trust is important in a relationship. They both have a rocky past but I feel like that only makes them stronger. They are great for each other. I love their chemistry. As I'm reading I get butterflies just imagining the chemistry between them.
This installment is beautiful not just in the relationship between Parker and Skyler but because Audrey touches on the subject that all women are beautiful. The client is a designer and he hired women in all shapes and sizes. We learn how a woman can be beautiful regardless of how we look and what we do. I love how Parker makes these 12 women realize that if they feel it and become comfortable with themselves they can own the world.
I love this installment. It is very empowering to women.
Can't wait to see Parker and Royce in San Francisco.

Milan is the 4th novella in the International Guy series. Parker, Bo and Royce have a unique business helping wealthy clients with everything from finances to love. When they take the job in Milan, it is Parker and Bo who head there to help a group of woman learn to walk the runway for a fashion show. T-Bone the designer has created a lingerie line that is for women of all shapes and sizes. He hires everyday women to be his models. They have no background or experience so Parker and Bo set out to help the women see how beautiful and desirable they are.
I really enjoyed this installment of International Guy. In every story so far they have help their female clients gain confidence, see their beauty and value but this time it was so much more since it was every day ladies. The Parker and Sky love story continues to grow as well. Audrey keeps you reading. I highly recommend this fun romance.

I was crazy to start reading this book, the way it ended copenhagen made me anxious too! And I can say that it has become a favorite so far.
At first we see the relationship of Parker and Sky evolving in an incredible way, the chemistry, the attraction and the passion involved is too much. We see not only hot scenes, but a novel evolving and making a way, a step forward.
In this book we also have Parker traveling to Milan to help plus size models (yes big girls!!!!!! and what I loved the most about him) what fascinated me in this book was how Dream Maker handled the situation with his companions, they led the women to believe in themselves, making them love each other the way they are, and empowered each of them,, only brought the beauty that was erased.
Beauty comes in all sizes YES!!!!! a book full of learning that marked me so much for who I am and love myself anyaway.

AUDREY CARLAN
MILAN: INTERNATIONAL GUY BOOK 4
5 Stars
“Live your truth.”
When you are reading this series 5 Stars is just not enough! This has become one of my all time favorite series. I love the characters, writing style, the emotions that come from the reading and of course the guys! I patiently (drumming fingers, pacing, constantly refreshing the screen) awaited Volume 2’s release...as expected...I was NOT disappointed!
“Firsts should always be sealed with a kiss.”
This book continues with the brotherhood, loyalty, empowering women through Milan (which I loved), humor, self discovery and some steaminess.
“Home isn’t always a place. It’s a feeling.”
Headed to San Francisco Next...I actually just vacationed there a few months ago so I’m hoping I can visual the story from a different perspective.
