From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series. My name is Parker Ellis. You can call me The Dream Maker. This is where my story begins.There's a world of women waiting for me, but my journey starts here, in three cities: Paris. New York. Copenhagen. International Guy Inc. is owned and operated by Parker Ellis, a ladies' man with a high IQ and a big libido. He's the most successful life and love coach in the world, and he's smart enough to know he can't run a multimillion-dollar company alone. He hires two friends whose areas of expertise complement his own. They comprise The Dream Maker, The Love Maker, and The Money Maker. 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. Quite literally. This International Guy likes his playboy lifestyle, and he's not looking for commitment. After all, there's a whole world waiting for him. But as he goes from city to city, and from woman to woman, it's possible that he just might find his own love along the way... This volume includes the first, second, and third International Guy novellas.… (plus d'informations)
After failing to read it straight through, I skimmed around this book, which is really the first three novellas in a serial, and I'm sorry, but it's a no from me. I read some of Carlan's Calendar Girl books because they were over the top and sexy. I had some issues with the way sex work was portrayed and with the hero, but overall it was a good enough series that I was willing to give International Guy a shot.
In the first ten pages of the book, though, you could win douchebro bingo. I hated the main character. He's the stereotypical dude who thinks he's God's gift to women and he and his two buddies have started a business to LITERALLY FIX WOMEN. I was hoping they'd get their egos shot a bit, but no. "I never minded helping out, especially since he'd knock me a bit of spending money that I'd blow on one skirt or another." "'Too bad you wasted all that time. I banged Melissa within the first two weeks of class. Had her as one of my top five repeats all sophomore year.' Bo's gaze slashes to mine. 'Shit! That's why she never let me in there? Girl was one of the only women to ever seem disinterested. Hurt my confidence.'"
These three men, who are supposed to be helping women, are shitty to women. I don't like being in their heads, reading about them, etc. Carlan tells us over and over how they understand women and how hot they are and mostly I wanted to slap them. This review is based on an advanced copy I received via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Full disclosure - I quite obviously didn't finish the book/three books. ( )
