This wasn't for me.
I had a hard time buying into this one; three guys who specialise in...idk, some kind of whole life makeover for folks who need to buy in their help to look the part or keep up appearances.
Oh and the business name was International Guy. I tried to suspend disbelief, really I did, but I had a hard time imagining a world where a name like that wouldn't incite international derision.
I'm sure that's just me.
All three business partners travelled to Paris to makeover a perfume heiress, showing her how to dress and present herself. Hmm. Anyway, professional they were not, all three guys leering over her and the H feeling her up at every opportunity. It just felt icky rather than sexy and erotic to me.
Then he hooks up with a random (in detail) and I'm just not interested in reading anymore. I was hoping for sexy and romantic not this.
I'm sure plenty of others will enjoy this as the writing flowed well, but this was heavy on the erotic and too light on the romantic for me.
Thanks to the publisher via netgalley for the arc.

I received an arc by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I've read Audrey Carlan's "Calendar Girl" series in the past and though I've never made it past book 6 (it became rather tiring and repetitive after that) I had really enjoyed her writting and found the plot lines interesting and original.
So when I saw on NetGalley, that she wrote a similar series, but with 3 guys on the job, I though it would be equally fun to read them.
Boy, was I wrong! I don't know what happened, but this story is full of tropes, cliche after cliche, cheesy dialogues and a plot so unbelievable, that my eyes must have reached my brain several times, while I was reading it.
So, NO. I won't be reading the next two books, that I received as a package from NetGalley. I can only torture myself so much.
I'm sorry that I didn't like it but I can't recommend this book to my friends or rate it higher.

This book is different, I can say that much. I wanted to love it but I couldn't.
It's written entirely from the perspective of the male lead. I don't think I've seen that before. I can absolutely see why people love it but it didn't work for me. I tried valiantly to get through this one. For 6 weeks, I took breaks, read other books, came back to it after a couple glasses of wine, but the guy was a dog.
My skin crawled the whole time I attempted to read this. While I'm sure it's an issue with me, more so than the book/ author Parkers character felt more like a creep, a predator than a potential book boyfriend.
I pushed my way through to 60% hoping things would get better but it didn't and I'm done.

Da ich bislang viel zu wenig Werke von Audrey Carlan gelesen habe und unbedingt mal mehr von ihr lesen wollte, habe ich mich für „Paris“, dem ersten Band der Kurzgeschichten-Reihe „Dream Maker City“-entschieden. Hierbei hatte ich ehrlich gesagt nicht die größten Erwartungen und habe mich somit einfach mal überraschen lassen.
„Paris“, die Stadt der Liebe, ist dabei die erste Station von Parker Ellis, elf weitere, darunter New York, Berlin, Madrid und London folgen. Audrey Carlan besitzt einen eher einfach gehaltenen Schreibstil, der sich flüssig liest und durchaus zu unterhalten weiß. Die Figuren sind – für die Länge, bzw. Kürze der Geschichte – gut gezeichnet, man lernt diese ausreichend kennen, allerdings sind diese nicht immer sympathisch. Ein Schwachpunkt sind hierbei auch die Dialoge, die sich oftmals doch sehr hölzern lesen.
Die Geschichte ist dabei schnell erzählt: Parker Ellis ist der sogenannte Dream Maker, der zusammen mit seinen beiden Partnern Bogart und Royce die Agentur „International Guy“ führt. Hierbei fliegt er um die gesamte Welt, um seine Aufträge zu erfüllen, die hauptsächlich davon handeln, Frauen zu verführen, ihnen neues Selbstbewusstsein zu verleihen oder einfach einen netten Abend zu haben. In Paris trifft er dabei auf Sophie, die Erbin einer Parfüme-Manufaktur…
Wenn man mal für ein paar Stunden den Kopf ausschalten möchte, wird man hier sicherlich gut unterhalten. Dennoch gibt es hier einen ganz großen Punkt, der mich doch sehr stört und das ist die Darstellung von Mann und Frau in den Büchern der Autorin. Während bislang immer die Frauen als nahezu perfekt und fast schon sexbesessen dargestellt werden, steht in der „Dream Maker City“-Reihe dieses Mal der Mann im Vordergrund, der natürlich unglaublich sexy, selbstbewusst und unwiderstehlich ist. Dies kann vielleicht mal nett sein, allerdings gefallen mir Figuren mit Ecken und Kanten deutlich besser als die oftmals viel zu aalglatten Figuren, die Audrey Carlan hier kreiert hat.
Das Cover ist dagegen ganz hübsch anzusehen und besticht mit tollen Farben. Die Kurzbeschreibung konnte mich ebenfalls überzeugen, sodass meine Neugierde am Ende gesiegt hat und ich dem Buch eine Chance geben wollte.
Kurz gesagt: „Paris“ ist ein eher durchwachsener Auftakt der „Dream Maker City“-Rehe, der zwar hier und da durchaus zu unterhalten weiß, aber insgesamt doch recht blass bleibt. Mal sehen, ob sich der zweite Teil „New York“ steigern kann.

I can't finish this. I'm 17% in. It's just too crude. Three guys with annoyingly large ego's think they know enough about women that they'll be paid millions to straighten them out. I should have stuck with my instinct which was to stop reading after the first paragraph. "I love women. Young. Old. Tall or short. From the nerdy, bookish types to the sultry bombshells - I'm not picky. Give me thin lengthy figures or curvy with something to grab on to … name it and I've touched it, talked to it, kissed, and fucked all varieties." If that wasn't enough, this was the last straw, about 17% of the way in... " "With previous clients, I didn't have the desire to sink balls deep until they scream out my name." Sorry, but this isn't a romance.

Great start to a series
This is interesting, three guys work together to help women succeed in business, love, whatever to be their best selves. They made a very lucrative business out of this. It doesn't hurt that the guys are all gorgeous.
They travel to Paris to help out a young French heiress, Sophie, take her place in the company she inherited.
I love the creativeness of authors!

I...did not love this. I read Audrey Carlan's "Calendar Girl" series a while back and enjoyed it, so I decided I would read this as well. I don't know if it's because of the male point-of-view, or because I've read so many other romance books between Calendar Girl and this...but I just couldn't enjoy this. The MC, Parker, was so inappropriate that most of the things he was doing would be considered sexual harassment in normal circumstances, but it was made to be OK here. It just made me super uncomfortable.

I stumbled upon these books on my kindle and my sister always talks about how good this author is so I decided I’d give this series a shot and I’m glad I did. I’ve only just begun with Paris but I’m already obsessed.
Sophie is struggling, after being left the business to take care of she knows she needs help, she hasn’t been trained and doesn’t know what to do so she calls in help. What she doesn’t expect is the kind of help she gets from the men that come her way.
Parker is so swoony, he’s handsome and knows it. He loves and respects all women and has a need to show each women their true greatness when they don’t see it for themselves. His company is there for exactly that.
There’s an instant click when these meet and being able to see this bond between them grows amazing. I absolutely adored watching it.
I can’t wait to see what comes from the next book, it’s going to be interesting that’s for sure.

What a great start to this Series. Just when you do not think Audrey Carlan can do it again.... SHE DOES...
In Paris we are being introduced to what I would say is the DREAM TEAM... We have 3 very smooth and swoon worthy men who are International Guy, Inc... Can I please hire them? How could you turn away these glorious men who will turn your life around in all of the best ways possible.. Need confidence, style, love or just overall guidance... DONE..
Their job in Paris is with Sophie Rolland who needs help running her own successful company. She is definitely beautiful, but lacks confidence and really initially the drive she needs to succeed.. Can these guys turn it around for her? It was so amazing to watch Sophie flourish and gain what she needed.. She and Parker also share a special bond that neither are overly familiar with, however, it appears to be just what the other needed.. Through trials and tribulations they complete their job and are ready to move on.
Do not miss this fun and sexy story. You can expect a few laugh out loud moments which is always nice. I cannot wait to read further and get to know more about Parker, Bo and Royce....

As I have read the "Calendar Girl" series by the same author (and enjoyed it) I had hopes that this series would give me the same feelings.
Sadly, the first book havent done that for me, even though I like the premise.
I still have the next 8 books, so I am hoping to get the same magic, as I did with CG :)

Sexy, flirty, fun and SO creative! It's awesome to see things favoring a hero's POV. Like a "Bold Type," only what would happen if we all got to be a fly on the wall with the guys instead. Such a fun read!

This one is weird. Not even sure why I finished it. I'd heard good things about Carlan's work, but I'm mightily disappointed.
It started out with promise. Three college friends -- Parker, Royce, and Bogart -- co-own a company called International Guy. It's a lame moniker for a cool business. Each guy has a special skill set and together they do life makeovers, improving people's businesses, their self-confidence, and/or their social lives. They're Hitch-plus-Queer-Eye-plus-business-coach.
In this installment, they head to Paris to work with a young woman who recently took over the helm of a large corporation after the death of her father. Sophie's sharp and eager, but mousy and untried. The IG team does what they do: the money guy goes through the financials and helps her spot potential problems, and the style guy fills her closet with designer labels, and the third guy (Parker) takes her to bed. What?
Parker essentially thinks with his wiener. It's like his compass: it points; he follows. Upon meeting Sophie for the first time, his divining rod perks up so he begins to seduce her. Yet, he's not a suave, sophisticated gentleman. He's supposed to be 29 years old, but he has the manners and the vocabulary of a teenage frat wannabe. There's also a lot of weird language used in the sexy scenes.
And then -- spoiler alert -- they don't even fall in love! They bang for a couple weeks while the other guys work on her style and her business, and then they go their separate ways! And based on the blurbs of the other books, that's the way it continues. In each book, Parker bangs another woman to higher self-esteem and then leaves her behind.

International Guy by Audrey Carlan is a series of 12 novellas all set in the world of Parker and his friends.
Parker Ellis and his best friends Bo - Bogart and Roy- Royce are the owner of International Guy Inc., a unique company. They´re called Dreammaker, Lovemaker and Moneymaker with reason. And their first story leads to Paris.
Sophie is a the heiress of a perfume empire and she needs a little help in some departements. And Parker and the other men are too happy to help her gain confidence and self-esteem.
International Guy : Paris is a witty and fun novella, the perfect summer read. The characters are great and I love the writing and the story. I give 4 sweet stars.

L'année dernière, nous découvrions la plume d'Audrey Carlan avec Calendar Girl qui a rythmé notre année avec les aventures de Mia. Cette année, l'auteure qu'on ne présente plus revient avec le même concept, un tome par mois mais cette fois avec des hommes. J'étais assez curieuse de découvrir cette nouvelle série.
Dans International Guy, nous faisons la connaissance d'un trio. Parker, Royce et Bo. A la tête d'une entreprise de coaching et service en tout genre fleurissante. Ils s'occupent de tout pour tous. Leur première mission, venir en aide à une chef d'entreprise à Paris dont la confiance est mise à rude épreuve. Ils vont devoir l'aider à redresser la barre et être la meilleure possible.
Premier point concernant cette lecture, j'aime toujours le côté petite lecture tous les mois. On ne s'en rend pas forcément compte, mais savoir que la suite des aventures de nos personnages arrivent tous les mois, ça a un effet vraiment addictif. Comme une série TV que l'on découvre semaine après semaine. Le format permet également de ne pas avoir de temps mort puisque tout va très vite.
Concernant le concept de l'histoire, l'entreprise de notre trio, je trouve ça vraiment sympa à suivre. Cela permet de varier et de découvrir différents jobs, univers et une fois de plus villes. Ici, c'est Paris, que forcément, je connais bien. Notre chef d'entreprise, Sophie, a perdu son père récemment et doit maintenant prendre les reines de l'entreprise familiale de parfum.
Si j'ai aimé globalement l'histoire autour de Sophie, je regrette néanmoins le manque d'approfondissement de l'histoire. A peine notre trio est-il arrivé qu'ils changent totalement le comportement et l'estime qu'elle à pour elle. Pour tout vous dire, cette rapidité a fait que cela manquait cruellement de réalisme. Si les choses avaient été développées, je pense que j'aurais vraiment plus accrochée. Sophie a de nombreux défis à relever et doit faire face à de nombreux problèmes au sein de ses employés.
International Guy, c'est aussi l'histoire d'une équipe de trois hommes qui n'ont pas froid aux yeux. A Paris, c'est sur Parker, celui qui est plus ou moins à la tête d'International Guy. Il a pleinement confiance en lui, est un tombeur comme jamais et surtout m'a vraiment fait l'effet d'un chaud lapin.
Exit, l'homme professionnel et qui garde ses distances avec ses clientes, Parker ne mettra que quelques secondes à vouloir coucher avec Sophie et passer à l'acte. Quand je vous parle de rapidité, c'est aussi le cas pour le côté sexuel. On ne se le cachera pas, International Guy, est autant voir plus, porté sur le sexe que Calendar Girl.
Bien sur, la comparaison avec Calendar Girl est assez inévitable. Même format, même spécificité, même côté sexy. Ce qui m'inquiète, c'est le tempérament de Parker qui clairement me donne l'impression de passer de filles en filles. Du coup, je me pose des questions sur la suite, puisque chaque tome se passe dans une autre ville avec un autre client. J'ose espérer que l'équilibre entre histoire et scène de sexe sera un peu mieux dosé que Calendar Girl qui s'était avéré en dents de scie.
En conclusion, j'ai aimé découvrir cette nouvelle série, je suis curieuse de voir comment l'auteure va mener son histoire. J'aimerais vraiment en savoir plus sur les deux autres personnages, Bo et notamment Royce qui m'intrigue vraiment. Concernant Parker, je ne suis pas sous le charme, il est un peu trop dans l'excès, du moins dans ce premier tome.
En revanche, je suis vraiment curieuse de découvrir le second tome, à New York car avec la petite mise en bouche en fin de tome, cela promet vraiment quelque chose de plus aboutit et approfondit !

Quand je vous parle de rapidité, c'est aussi le cas pour le côté sexuel. On ne se le cachera pas, International Guy, est autant voir plus, porté sur le sexe que Calendar Girl.
Bien sur, la comparaison avec Calendar Girl est assez inévitable. Même format, même spécificité, même côté sexy. Ce qui m'inquiète, c'est le tempérament de Parker qui clairement me donne l'impression de passer de filles en filles. Du coup, je me pose des questions sur la suite, puisque chaque tome se passe dans une autre ville avec un autre client. J'ose espérer que l'équilibre entre histoire et scène de sexe sera un peu mieux dosé que Calendar Girl qui s'était avéré en dents de scie.
En conclusion, j'ai aimé découvrir cette nouvelle série, je suis curieuse de voir comment l'auteure va mener son histoire. J'aimerais vraiment en savoir plus sur les deux autres personnages, Bo et notamment Royce qui m'intrigue vraiment. Concernant Parker, je ne suis pas sous le charme, il est un peu trop dans l'excès, du moins dans ce premier tome.
En revanche, je suis vraiment curieuse de découvrir le second tome, à New York car avec la petite mise en bouche en fin de tome, cela promet vraiment quelque chose de plus aboutit et approfondit !

ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review
I have not read any of Ms Carlan's books in the past, however I have heard good things about her so I decided to give her International Guy series a go.
I am still a bit confused what to call these guys. Motivational guys? Makeovers? Mah, whatever they are, I did enjoy IG: Paris.
I liked that our leading lady didn't whimper and simper, she just needed guidance.
I do like Parker, Bo and Royce, though I wish we had gotten more of Bo and Royce - perhaps they are later on in the series
There is instant spark between Parker and Sophie, and things do heat up pretty quickly between them - though I did feel that Parker is pretty unprofessional the way he hits on his clients right away - but maybe this is just me.
IG Paris is a sexy Parisian romp, and I am looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.

I read this position in Volume 1 of the International Guy series. It was very sexy and intriguing but a bit slow paced.
May 9, 2018
These books are about Parker Ellis who is a part of International Guy, an organisation that helps people to find themselves or to be a better version of the person they currently are, an identity refiner is how I see it.
International Guy: Paris
This one was insanely fun to read because I was not sure what to expect. I enjoyed Parker’s interactions with his brothers as well as Sophie. I though each book would be about a different brother so I got really confused at the end of this book but I really like Sophie and Parker’s chemistry with each other. Sophie wants to be CEO but she needs help to get her image just right, hence the entrance of Parker Ellis who is a part of International Guy. This story is sweet and short, but it works well.
4 stars

PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME.
En vrai, j'étais très curieuse de lire de la New Romance, et j'avais envie de lire un truc léger, je me suis dit que ce livre d'une centaine de page serait pas mal...
GROSSIERE ERREUR.
C'était si mal écrit déjà : je m'attendais pas à de la grande littérature non plus mais quand même, j'avais l'impression de lire les fanfictions que j'écrivais à 13/14ans (et croyez-moi, c'était vraiment pas terrible).
Bon et si l'histoire avait été pas mal, ça aurait peut-être pu rattraper un peu mais non c'était bourré de clichés, j'ai pas arrêté de soufflé du nez et rouler des yeux (gngngngngn j'aime les femmes, je les respecte gngngngng *souffle du nez très fort*)
Bref, pour une lecture que j'espérais drôle et sans prise de tête ça a plutôt été tout l'inverse.

Not the book for me. I have read other books by Audrey Carlan but this was from far my least favorite, well it was the one I didn't like. The main characters, Parker and Sophie are boring and not interesting. Parker is a know-it-all and Sophie is a shy, little girl that just needs a change of clothes and style to become a confidant woman. Really? In a matter of what? Less than a week? This makes women feel that it is all it takes for women to solve years of insecurity and self-doubt. Not for me at all.

I'm bummed that this book did not work for me. I've read other books by this author and loved them. I could not stand the MC of this story. He and his friends owned a company that helped businesses, but he was entirely unprofessional in his interactions with his client. It bothered me so much, I couldn't continue reading any longer.

Ma chronique : http://ibelieveinpixiedust.blogspot.c...
Dans ce premier tome, nous faisons la rencontre de Parker Ellis, la tête pensante fondatrice de International Guy, un société de coaching pour femme. Lui et ses deux meilleurs amis, Bo et Royce travaillent au service des femmes, pour les aider à s'affirmer, prendre confiance en elles...
Leur première cliente est Sophie, une jeune française qui vient d'hériter de la société de son père. Pour être bien prise au sérieux par l'ensemble de son équipe, elle va faire appel à Parker et ses collègues.
Femmes, argent, pouvoir... Parker est le stéréotype de l'homme sûr de lui qui est persuadé que de pauvres petites femmes perdues ont besoin de lui pour s'épanouir... Ca fait grincer des dents, non ? Et bien pourtant, j'ai trouvé qu'il avait un vrai respect de la femme qui m'a franchement plu ! Alors oui, Parker est du genre rentre-dedans mais à aucun moment, il ne met Sophie mal à l'aise.
On est plus dans un roman érotique qu'une romance. En effet, pas de sentiments amoureux entre le Dream Maker et la jolie française mais une belle amitié, une attirance réciproque et une irrésistible alchimie.
En fait, ce qui m'a le plus gênée dans cette histoire, c'est la construction temporelle. A peine arrivés, les trois hommes transforment Sophie en deux temps trois mouvements et en trois jours, ce n'est déjà plus la même personne. Mouais. J'ai eu du mal à m'y retrouver, et j'ai aussi trouvé que les deux héros se sautent dessus bien trop vite (mais bon, ils n'ont que 150 pages en même temps ^^).
Et en 150 pages, il s'en passe des choses : on découvre Parker, ses collègues, l'historique de leur entreprise ; on métamorphose Sophie ; on parle d'amitié, de harcèlement... On n'a pas le temps de s'ennuyer. Les pages se tournent toutes seules et, sans vraiment être captivée par cette histoire, j'ai envie d'avancer.
L'auteure nous a prévenues, il y aura du sexe dans chaque tome mais j'espère que ça restera quand même assez sobre. Les scènes hot à outrance de Calendar Girl m'avaient un peu exaspérée et j'espère qu'avec sa nouvelle série, l'auteure saura mieux doser. Pour le moment, je n'ai pas été gênée et puisque je me suis lancée dans les comparaisons, je dirais que j'ai bien plus apprécié Parker à Mia donc il y a matière à faire une série sympa.
D'autant plus que les dernières pages laissent présager une jolie suite...
Bilan :
Je suis partagée pour ce premier tome...
J'ai aimé que les bases soient posées, que l'on découvre les héros et leur façon de travailler. Malgré son coté arrogant, j'ai plutôt bien apprécié Parker et a vision respectueuse de la femme. J'ai malheureusement eu beaucoup de mal avec la façon dont l'auteure gérait le temps et tout allait trop vite.
Néanmoins, je ressens à la fin de ce premier tome, la même chose qu'à la fin de chaque tome de Calendar Girl : une irrésistible envie de lire la suite !
Et ça tome bien puisque le premier et le second tome ont la même date de sortie !

Paris is a sizzlingly HOT and empowering start to the International Guy serial!
Parker Ellis…fits his title of Dream Maker, and it’s not just because of his prowess in the bedroom. He truly sees what a woman needs, and in this case, Sophie Rolland, the perfume heiress and grieving daughter. With his chosen brothers and team, they enhanced what she already had and encouraged her when it came to business practices.
Sophie Rolland…bloomed from a shy, plain Jane into the gorgeous, tough, and caring business woman she was underneath. She made the smart decision to hire Parker and the rest of the International Guy team, in my opinion. What could a young woman do when suddenly faced with the responsibility of running a huge perfume company while still grieving the loss of her father?
One thing I want to make clear about this story. In my opinion, Parker, Bo, and Royce did not change Sophie or give her anything but guidance, tips, and encouragement. They did not change her. They showed her the woman she was underneath all the uncertainty and shyness and helped her show that to the world as well as the people in the company she now runs.
Audrey Carlan always packs sizzling heat and impactful lessons in her books, and International Guy is no exception. BUT. She unbelievably keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait to see what other journeys and adventures she takes us on with the IG team!

I hadn't read any of this author's previous books before I decided to pick this one up. I figured since I have been on a romance kick lately that I would give it a whirl. I can honestly say I am not wowed by this author.
I am not trying to put down this author or say she isn't a good writer. I have now only read one book of hers, but I will say there wasn't anything overly impressive about her writing of this short story. Maybe that is the issue? It's a novella of a story that could have been a great story had it been a full length book.
This is one of the books that is over as soon as it starts. I was left feeling a little ripped off in the meats and potatoes section of this book. There is no real character building or chemistry with these characters. I am not a fan of books that are all about the sex with a little bit of plot. That is what this felt like. For me, that isn't romance.
If someone is looking for a quick sexy read that won't require any real thought process or emotions, this is definitely a book they should read. (I know that sounds mean, but I am not meaning for it to.) Sometimes, we all could use a book that we can breeze through that won't overwhelm us with emotions... This is most certainly one of those books.

3,5 stjerner
I starten var jeg ikke stor fan af Parker Ellis eller hans to bedste venner, Roy og Bo, som han har firmaet International Guy med. Parker er bare lidt for perfekt og succesfuld, og holy cow hvor ville han overskride mine grænser med store skridt med sin opførsel. Men langsomt og sikkert trækker forfatteren mig ind i historien med smukke beskrivelser af omgivelserne (jeg vil til Paris), romantiske gestusser, hotte sexscener og ikke mindst en stor portion humor. Så vidt jeg husker, skete der nøjagtigt det samme, da jeg læste "Calendar Girl"-serien. Audrey Carlan er lige så god til at forføre sine læsere med sine historier, som Parker og Bo er til at forføre kvinder.
Jeg glæder mig til at læse videre i serien. Jeg håber, at der kommer mere fokus på Bo - hans karakter er anderledes. En skørtejæger med forstand på tøj, make up osv til kvinder har jeg ikke set før.

Audrey Carlan from the very beginning introduces us to her face, Parker Ellis. who with his companions Bo and Royce run the famous company Intenational Guy, a company that assists in all personal and professional problems.
In this new story Audrey makes us sigh for each of the 3 guys that are presented (I say Bo is my favorite), the 3 have an incredible chemistry in the workplace and out of it.
In this book Parker and his friends embark on the city of paris to help the famous performer company that is now is led by the incredible Sophie.
In this book we can accompany the character of Parker and his companions going to help beautiful sophie in their business, the growth of sophie as a person grew and I was as proud of her as her growth in business was simply wonderful! She has become the powerful woman she was born to be, this book has so much passion that it engages the characters, hot scenes to leave you breathless and so many learning how to believe in yourself!
Audrey carlan managed to arrest me from beginning to end, making me sigh at every chapter!

This new series has a lot of promise. I enjoyed book one, where the guys go to Paris and help Sophie transform and prepare herself to take over her dad's business. Paris is the city of love, and there is romance stirring between Sophie and one of the guys, Parker. But it sounds like the other two guys are quite the catch as well. It all ends well and on to the next assignment.
I'm curious to see as the series goes on, if it will solely focus on Parker or some books about his partners. For now it feels like an adventure, and I'm ready to be taken along to each destination.
