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.

I got Half way snd couldn’t keep on going so I am saving it for another time
Rushed, formulaic volume writing designed to generate sales without any appreciable attention given to building characters into actual people who have viable relationships. The editing was equally lacking for this flat, disappointing waste of time and money.
This author is the only one, so far, that is on my “blocked” list. I will never buy another single book she has written because this book was so bad.
Great read
Satisfaction Guarenteed is a totally satisfying read.
Sloane and Malone’s second chance romance is super sexy and sweet.
Sloane is the forbidden fruit that Malone just can’t seem to resist as she is his Boss and buisness partners Daughter.
They have a past together and now she has come back into his life,where she is working closely with him and where he talks her into a one week fling so she can find her O.
Lauren’s words and story telling is perfect.
I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read book 2.
Highly recommend.
5 Sexy Stars
Talk about a delayed gratification- no, not the other book, this one. Sloane and Malone had an limbo like period in which they tried to move on but their connection was more than anything else. Talk about romantic, also frustrating! lol. Good thing they have more patience than I do.
Sweet and all kinds of inspiring (guys seriously, take notes!), Satisfaction Guaranteed is a fun romp and makes you purr. Well only, if your are the special genus…
It is part of a series. I highly recommend reading in order. The couples are adorable, the romance is easy to believe and love. And it is so cute and witty.
I love Lauren Blakely & the narrators of the audiobook, but this book just didn’t do it for me. The conflict seemed like something that should have been overcome with a simple conversation and the lounge singer aspect seemed smarmy to me. I know I’m in the minority & many others loved it, so give it a try.
Malone a vet has been warned off Sloane daughter of the vet practice he started working at after
school. Malone has always yearned for Sloane after a week spent together 7 years ago. Sloane’s
father has stood between them all this time. After running into each other the feelings are reignited.
Malone a club singer playing standards asks her to come and see him play. The story continues
with Sloane going to work out of her fathers vet practice and seeing Malone everyday. I love the
banter between them and how they try to ignore the chemistry. A fun flirty read and great listen
to the singing of styles of Jason Clarke. Another winner by Lauren Blakely.
This book was both fun and hard to read.
I truly loved both of these characters. They were both great people, hard workers, friendly to others and ambitious. There only downfall is they are really into each other but yet his boss is her father.
The hard part for me with this book was all the lost time they had. They stayed away from each other for 7 years. I know they didn’t want to talk to the Dad/boss for multiple reasons but it was just hard to sit back and read about these two people who are perfect for each other.
I loved sitting on the sideline reading about their banter and flirting, it was fun to read.
Can’t get enough of Lauren’s books. Fantastic job.
I loved the sexy story…
I loved Sloane & Malone’s story. He’s trying to be the good guy, since Sloane’s father is his partner. I loved this sexy, singing vet. He and Sloane are steamy! I love the ‘forbidden’ romances.
I first listened to the prologue to this book, Delayed Satisfaction in the car after another Lauren Blakley book, The Dating Proposal. Lauren Blakley likes to hook you in with a prologue in the back matter of her current releases. It’s very effective. You can pick up Delayed Satisfaction for free on Amazon.com. I encourage you to do so. Read it before Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Satisfaction Guaranteed centers on two main characters, Malone Goodman and Sloane Elizabeth. In Delayed Satisfaction, both characters find each other one night at a fundraising event where Malone is singing karaoke. Both living in New York, they are at the beginning of their careers. Malone is a veterinarian who’s looking to join a practice as a junior partner in hopes of taking it over and buying out the other partner at some point.
Sloane is still trying to find out what she’s good at. Both encourage one another to pursue their dreams. At the end of the prequel, you discover an obstacle to their very HOT romance.
Once Satisfaction Guaranteed picks up, it’s 8 years later. Both have taken hold of their dreams and credit each other with giving them the encouragement to pursue them. Sloane has opened her own animal rescue and Malone sings at his sister’s lounge, The Jin Joint. By a twist of fate, they end up in each other’s life on a daily basis and the sexual tension begins to be unbearable. These are smart and pragmatic people. They realize what’s happening and they develop a plan to work it out – which becomes delightful and super-HOT to read about.
Personally, animals are my first love. They are where I learned about boundaries, treating all creatures with respect and unconditional love. So, Malone Goodman is my kind of hero. His dilemma is discovering what is most important in life is worthwhile and I found myself rooting for him and Sloane the whole time. Plus, if you do get the audio version, you will be hard-pressed to not find Jason Clark’s voice swoon-worthy; as he sings in the audio version. I am happy to recommend this book (s) as a super fun romantic read. I’m confident you will thoroughly enjoy.

5 Swoony Stars!!!
I’m a sucker for ALL THINGS Lauren Blakely and this book hit my kindle at just the right time…I’ve been reading some pretty dark and heavy romances so to be able to hop back into her sexy, laugh out loud worlds that’s she creates was a pure joy.
This book focuses on Malone and Sloan…yes they rhyme!! And their reconnecting seven years after a one-night stand. Little did they know that when they next met not only would their attraction to each other still be strong and powerful….but yeah, her dad is his business partner…can you say AWKWARD?!?!
This doesn’t stop them from exploring what’s still sizzling between them especially when they’re sharing office space! We all know Ms. Blakely knows how to write hot and oh so sexy intimate scenes and these two are no exception! I loved their banter and witty one-liners. I also loved that they weren’t afraid to go after what they want in every aspect of their lives and if that includes finding their own HEA I’m 100% on board as are they!!
This book is a definite must read by the Queen of Rom-Com!!
I enjoyed I didn’t find as funny as some of her other books. I loved Sloane I kind of wished that she would have made Malone work for it more since he let go of their fledgling romance so quickly. I didn’t get that being the boss’s daughter would be such a problem if she was definitely the one that got away. I guess I wouldn’t know since I was never in that predicament… All in all I did enjoy and am catching myself up so I can read Overnight Service..so to the next one!
I absolutely adored Malone and Sloane’s story because they get a second chance at love and they’re perfect for each other. I’ve been a fan of this author for years and every book she writes is better than the one before. I love experiencing the story through both character’s point of view, there’s always just enough sexual intimacy to accentuate the storyline and she comes up with awesome names for her characters. How much sweeter can a couple be when their names are Sloane and Malone? This pair of lovebirds really struggle with seeing each other behind her father’s back and I love and admire characters with real integrity. And last, but not least, both characters love dogs which are near and dear to this author’s heart…and mine! I read an early copy of this book and all opinions expressed in my voluntary review are completely my own.
I thoroughly enjoyed this feel-good, second chance romance!
This story gave me lots of happiness & smiles and tons of delicious tingly feels. With zero drama/angst,
this one had my heart happy the entire time.
Malone was crooning & I was swooning.
I was definitely satisfied.
The audiobook was FABULOUS!
Another quick, fun read by Ms. Blakely. A visit with some previous couples and characters was a bonus.
Well edited.
Malone and Sloane met seven years ago. They were on a whirlwind journey towards a relationship when Malone went to interview for a new job. Unfortunately, the man he was interviewing with was Sloane’s father. Malone got the job and felt he had to end the relationship before it really began. Seven years later, they run into each other again. This time, reining in feelings is a tougher job. This time they walk a fine line between a life together and a life apart. Which side will win out? Will Malone keep the job first or will he finally put his happiness first? Will Sloane continue to deny her heart because her daddy is Malone’s partner?
As always, lots of fun banter, laughter, and good times. A feel good, fun romance. Enjoy.
Lauren Blakely is one of those authors that you know that you’re going to love the storyline, the characters, laugh, have fun, her stories are like your favorite bag of chips once you start you can’t stop and Satisfaction is Guaranteed.
The narrators are many, I don’t have to tell you, but they are all perfection.
Satisfaction definitely guaranteed when you read this book. Lauren Blakely delivers a truly fun, steamy second-chance romance.
Malone Goodman is a veterinarian who is in practice with a man who has been both a mentor and father figure to him. Malone has hopes that Doug will retire and sell the practice to him so that he would be able to run his own practice like his deceased father had always wanted to do. Much to his surprise, Doug announces that his daughter, Sloane, is going to start using the vet office to run her animal rescue out of. The same woman that Malone had a relationship with seven years ago and Malone made the decision to end the relationship with her out of respect for his mentor.
The cat and mouse game that Sloane and Malone play with each other is fun to read and some of the bedroom scenes will leave you fanning yourself.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the follow-up book based on Malone ‘s twin sister.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Totally loved this book. Malone and Sloane were so hot and sweet together.
