The first rule of working together? Don’t fall for the boss’s daughter. Definitely don’t fall for her when you’re trying to buy the business.The trouble is Sloane is smack dab next me from 9 to freaking 5. And she’s as captivating, brilliant, and sexy as ever, which means I’m taking more than the recommended dosage of office romance temptation every day. Make that every single second, because … second, because she’s not only “the one” — she’s the one who got away.
But she’s the very definition of off-limits, so I keep my hands to myself. Fine, we might flirt. Okay, we do indulge in the occasional dirty text. And there was that one time when we kissed on the street. But we’ve been good since then.
Until the night she issues me a challenge — seven nights of O lessons and then we walk away. Sounds like a simple arrangement.
But I was never good with those kind of rules.

Malone and Sloane. Adorable already right?
They had an amazing week together seven years ago.
But then Malone found out that she’s the daughter of his new boss at the vet clinic.
They ended things and went on with their lives. Never really forgetting about that amazing week and the lost possibilities.
Now Sloane’s back. Her dad brought her into the office with her animal rescue charity.
Can Sloane & Malone work together every day and not fall for each other again???
What will happen with Sloane & Malone?
Will there be a HEA?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!
That was adorable!
I just adore Lauren’s male POV romances. And Malone is really adorable!
A sexy, talented, singing vet!?! #MINE
The way he loves animals and his sister and his mom. And of course Sloane.
But it won’t be easy with her dad always hanging around the office.
He was supposed to be retired already!
I loved reading this book!
It was funny, sweet, sparky, sexy, animaly.
Can’t wait to read the next book about Malone’s sister Truly!
I didn’t really love the blurb – it doesn’t sound like it was written for the story. And the ‘challenge’ she issued was more or less issued by him and not her – plus it doesn’t happen until after the middle of the book! Very weird blurb.
And the story was a bit like that too. I loved it. I loved the people in it. I loved the male POV and the little chapters from Sloane’s mind. But it was a bit slow in the beginning and a bit fast toward the end. Plus all that ‘old’ music was just so not my thing.
It also wasn’t as funny as I’d hoped it would be.
But it was a really sweet romance.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED was a funny & adorable love story full of animals and music and sexy lessons! Run to your nearest amazon asap for your own Malone – this one is MINE !!!
I took a break from reading this author a while ago because the story-lines stopped being unique for me. I felt like I was reading different characters same plot story-lines and it got old but then I read this synopsis and thought “what the heck” ……
Well, now I need to go back and #bingeread every single book I haven’t read!!
Alright, so let me tell you a few things about this book …. You have to read it LOL No, seriously, you have to. Why? It was so damn easy! I don’t know how else to put it. So easy, you will smile from beginning to end. There’s no big dramatic whatever. There’s no hidden mystery or twist. This was just two people with a bit of history going for it a second time. Fun, flirty, sexy and as I’ve mentioned (lol) easy!
Seductively sensual, and alluring romance between Malone and Sloane. It’s not all roses but the journey was humorous, entertaining, and heartwarming. I loved every second of this story.
Lauren has done it again. This was a second chance story about Malone and Sloane. They met 7 years ago but once he found out that she was the daughter of his new boss he put a halt to things. 7 years later, she is back in his life. They try to stay away from each other but their chemistry is off the charts and it keeps pulling them towards each other. They finally give in to the chemistry and let me say it was off the charts. I loved this story so much. You will want to one click this book. It will be worth it.
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
I’m an unapologetic, loud-and-proud Lauren Blakely fangirl, and I make no bones about it. She writes the books I want to read, the books I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for, the ones that are at the top of my to-be-read list. I love all her books, but of all the goodness she delivers, her male-point-of-view romances are my absolute favorite thing to read. There is something so genuine and authentic about the way she takes readers into the mind of the hero, telling the story from his perspective. I simply can’t get enough of these stories from her, and the second I learned that this book would be a male POV romantic comedy – Blakely’s first in two years – it rocketed right to the top of my most anticipated books of the year list.
As a romance reader, I’m also a big fan of tropes, and boy, do I love a good second chance. Satisfaction Guaranteed isn’t just a good one, though, it kicks that trope up a notch because both the heroine and the hero consider the other “the one who got away.” Seven years earlier, fate gave them a taste of sweet paradise, only for reality to step in and rip it away in a heartbreaking right person/wrong time scenario. From the moment Malone first sees Sloane strolling towards him on the street, I felt this couple’s palpable chemistry bubbling up between them. It wasn’t only physical, though, they’re both also still harboring some very strong feelings for each other. Sloane and Malone were in sync in so many ways, but ultimately, the sexual tension they skirted around became undeniable. Fate—in the form of Sloane’s father—steps in again forcing them to figure out a way to finish what they started seven years earlier.
I devoured this romance, my heart thumping with giddy pleasure as I completely immersed myself in the experience of reading a Blakely romantic comedy. Music plays a huge role in this story, and with each song that Malone crooned to a crowd or to Sloane, I queued it up on my phone to listen along. One of my favorite things about Blakely’s writing is her attention to detail. She always gives her readers a fully-fleshed out, richly developed plot, but what make her stories so consuming are the quirky and fun little details she peppers into them. I always learn something new reading her books, and I look forward to these interesting facts nearly as much as I do the romance. These are the things that make a couple unique, the things they do or experience together that become part of the fabric of their relationship. This extra layer of character development is something that is often overlooked in other romances, but never in one of Blakely’s.
Brimming with effortlessly sexy banter, combustible chemistry and a solid foundation of friendship, Satisfaction Guaranteed ticked off all my must-haves in a perfect romcom straight out of the gate. Blakely stepped it up by pairing a confident, smart heroine and an utterly charming, completely swoon-worthy hero in a very naughty, slightly forbidden relationship with just enough angst to have me pining patiently, not painfully. At times, I couldn’t turn the pages of this book fast enough, and at others I was doing my best to slow down in order to make this sweet and romantic story last. I had high expectations going into this book, and Lauren exceeded them earning this book a spot as one of my top favorites of the year. Five smooches from me for Lauren Blakely’s Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Lauren Blakely does it again! Satisfaction Guaranteed is a fabulous story about Malone and the one who got away. Malone met Sloane 7 years ago, before he found out that she was his business partners daughter. Knowing that he gave her up but now she is back. In true fashion of this author we get another great love story with strong women and men who just make you swoon. I totally recommend this book.
Lauren Blakely writes a purr-fect story.
Malone has thought of only one woman in seven years. The daughter of his business partner who had warned him away when he was hired as a new vet. He has worked hard for the last seven years to build up the vet practice to take over for his business partner.
Sloan’s has moved into the city and has started a pet adoption business. Now her father has thrown into the mix to help her out that she can run her new business out of his vet office with his business partner to help out.
After an encounter where they throw caution to the wind Malone learns a secret that he takes as a challenge. Their chemistry is off the charts hot and Malone wants to make Sloane purr.
What happens when their time together gets in the way of what is best for the people around them and the business?
There is only word to describe what you’ll get when you read a Lauren Blakely novel and that is SWOON. From beginning to end Lauren brings a story and a group of characters that you’ll instantly love and want more of. In Satisfaction Guaranteed she gives Malone aka Dr. Goodman, a sexy vet(who doesn’t love a animal lover) that moonlights as a lounge singer(and he sings…..) the only flaw is his in love with his business partner’s daughter, Sloane. Sloane is a beautiful independent woman who helps animals(another animal lover) but has a flaw that only a ‘Goodman’ can fix. Not matter how hard these two try, they can’t fight what fate has in mind. The humor, heat, and love of these two captured my heart and Lauren can keep it if she keeps making characters and stories like this. And FYI if you read Lauren’s books a few characters you know will pop up through the story and bring your mind back to all the love and memories of their stories. Like I said at the beginning only one word……SWOON and this book is 5 stars Swoon worthy. Can’t wait for Instant Gratification, Lauren. Lauren Blakely
This was a quick, quirky, funny, sexy, romance with a slightly emotional touch (not much). I love the way Lauren Blakely incorporates comedy into her romances. There were some touching and laugh out loud moments. I enjoyed the side characters as well. There were wonderful characters and the plot is good but I felt like something was missing. It was a bit of a slow burn, maybe too slow. I liked it but didn’t love it as much as I have her other books. It is still an enjoyable read but I wanted more.
****ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.****
Who wouldn’t love Malone — a sexy veterinarian by day and a swoony, lounge singer at night! I loved these characters and thoroughly enjoyed this second-chance, standalone contemporary romance. And if you loved Big Rock and Mr. O, you’ll love re-visiting the the all male POV. Sloane and Malone’s chemistry jumps off the pages and who doesn’t love cute furbabies added into the mix. Another enjoyable read by this author that I would highly recommend.
With a delicious leading couple, great supporting cast and a plot which will make every romantic heart sing with happiness, Satisfaction Guaranteed is,in so many ways, the perfect romance story. Funny, witty, charming and so satisfying , it succeeds in telling its story without resorting to being cheesy or hackneyed. I absolutely loved it. Malone and Sloane are delightful and are definitely a match made in heaven.
Lauren Blakely delivers on every level. The writing is spot on, the humour sharp and mature, the pace perfect. I can safely say that this book does exactly what it says on the tin. Fabulous!!
If you see me walking around with a ridiculous cat-ate-the-canary smile, let me tell you it is the Lauren Blakely Effect. This effect is activated by the swooning sweet, panty-melting hot and feel good witty stories by the reigning queen of Rom Com. And everyone needs to be affected by this.
Lauren Blakely writes stories from male POV effortlessly and brilliantly. They are some of the best ever male POV stories I have read. Satisfaction Guranteed is another amazing addition to the list. Malone Goodman is the pussy whisperer who can make kitties purr in satisfaction. Well it is his profession. He is a renowned vet. But the vixen he really wants to satisfy is off limits. Sloane is his senior business partner’s daughter. But blinding attraction, nuclear hot passion and undeniable chemistry has become too hard to resist. So when Sloane starts running her animal rescue from Malone’s office, they decide to tackle the forbidden thing. But can they balance every delicate thing on their plate?
This is a classic Lauren Blakely story. You will get everything you can expect and more. This is the magic of her writing. I never get tired of her sexy, sassy and swoonworthy stories. And how is it possible to write a perfect male lead character in each book? It is nothing less than miracle. A man who is kind to animals, can croon old music, has a heart of gold and exceptional sense of humor and always thinks about his partner first in every way. And of course the perfect man needs the best woman to bring him to the knees. Sloane is exactly that. Smart, honest, beautiful, compassionate and funny, she is just amazing. The memos from Sloane were highlights of the story. And their chemistry? WOW. It was scorching hot, absurdly funny and overwhelmingly intense. Everything at the same time.
Lauren Blakely once again won my heart and she delivered what she meant on the title. Satisfaction Guaranteed, my dear readers. A hot and sweet treat for your senses. Like an adrenaline filled carnival ride, Malone and Sloane lit up my mind and left me in the happiest dizzying mood.
Received ARC for Honest Review
I received an ARC and am willingly giving my honest review of the book.
Let me start by saying I’m not a cat person. I usually stay far away from anything that has to do with them. On that note, I could just not stop reading this book! I loved all of the pussy cat references and LOL’ed plenty!
Malone and Sloane are great independent characters but when put together are so much more satisfying. Their story had me swooning g the whole time. I loved being in the world with characters from previous books and Lauren knows how to keep the focus on the main characters which shows how amazing she is!
This is definitely one I’m going to have to listen to the audio so I can hear the singing! SWOON!
Malone and Sloane are an equal opportunity love match. They struck out at first bat, but still have two innings to go. It’s time to get their heads in the game or it could end up costing them much more than their hearts. Satisfaction Guaranteed proves to be a fitting title in more ways than one. Blakely not only delivers a second chance romance for a take charge couple with lust on their mind and love in their heart, but she gives readers the chance to enjoy the thrill of the ride.
Audio Review from September 2019
This book was absolutely adorable!!
The story was fun and fresh, I loved the twist of the male narrator singing!
Jason Clarke is amazing! Andi was amazing! Ahhh!!!
The plot is nice and there a a few hot sex scenes, but the dialogue sounds like 12 year olds speaking.
I love Lauren Blakey but this was not one of my most favorite books by her. I didn’t fall in love with the characters like I usually do it’s still a decent book. Just not one of my favorites by a great author.
