I’m not looking for love. I’m definitely not even interested in dating. But when I first see the handsome stranger singing on stage and our eyes lock, it feels like kismet. For seven blissful days, we fall into an intoxicating romance. Until one night when I learn just how forbidden we are…
Sloane goes to an event to get new business contacts. Newly formed, she needs to get a job and direct her career. To end the night with a handsome man is all that she least desires … at least until she hears the deep and sensual voice of a stranger with piercing blue eyes, who with his timeless voice sings and delights everyone in the place.
Malone is struggling for the job of his life. He did not expect the woman who captured his attention as he sang in a karaoke at a charity event turned out to be a great company on that and the next seven nights. However, destiny will play a part on the couple and a difficult choice will be made.
Think of a short, romantic story. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the romance is not dead. Not even chivalry. Smoothly and accurately, the author creates a couple that will win over your heart in a blink of an eye. And leave you wanting to know more of their story. Although the end is a little open, the reading is definitely worth it.
Perfection! Sloane and Malone’s first meeting and their week together is the right hook if you haven’t read Satisfaction Guaranteed and will answer any questions you may have if you did. It’s a win-win read!
: DELAYED SATISFACTION by Lauren Blakely is the prequel novella to the author’s SATISFACTION GUARANTEED focusing on twenty-eight year old, veterinarian Malone Goodman, and twenty-two year old, college graduate Sloan Elizabeth.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Malone and Sloane) DELAYED SATISFACTION follows the quick building relationship between twenty-eight year old, veterinarian Malone Goodman, and twenty-two year old, college graduate Sloan Elizabeth. Sloan Elizabeth is looking for a job, and an evening of networking with a group of veterinarians and executives at animal rescues finds our heroine entranced by a man whose voice is that of an angel. Enter veterinarian Malone Goodman, and the two embark on a week of dates that ends when everything comes crashing down.
DELAYED SATISFACTION is a very quick read that introduces some of the back story and history between Malone Goodman and Sloane Elizabeth whose story will continue in SATISFACTION GUARANTEED…..But saying that, the prequel is more of a tease that should have been included in Satisfaction Guaranteed.
5 stars
I received a copy of the steamy novella Delayed Satisfaction: A Prequel Novella to Satisfaction Guaranteed by Lauren Blakely and this review was given freely.
A tantalizing sweet excerpt that ends abruptly while laying the foundation for a steamy forever romance in the sequel Satisfaction Guaranteed. Piper’s friend and roommate Sloane finds more than she bargains for while job hunting at a networking event and fundraiser for animal rescue in the form of instant attraction to veterinarian and crooner Malone Goodman. Unfortunately things come to an abrupt stop when Malone realizes his new boss is Sloane’s father.
