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 loved this book so very much! I read it on Google Book. Sloane Elizabeth and Malone the Vet!
This was a super quick, fun read. I really enjoyed reading this book from Malone’s perspective with Sloane’s list sprinkled in. It made reading more fun and kept me turning pages. My only issue is that conflict seemed forced but the fun factor was way up there, so I didn’t even mind that. Also… read it in a day, so if you’re looking for something light that will make you smile, this is a great choice.
This was a quick read between pet doctor, Malone, and his business partner’s daughter, Sloane. Both Hero and heroine are likeable characters, but not a lot of in depth character development. They originally meet and spend a hot week together 7 years ago. But when they discover the connection each has with her father, they decide it’s not wise to pursue a relationship. Fast forward the 7 years, and their feelings haven’t change for one another, but the “obstacle” still exists. I kind of wondered why their past relationship wasn’t explored more, which would have provided the character development, but then the author surprised us with a free title, Delayed Satisfaction, which actually covers their first relationship. Story is told from a dual point of view, which provides readers wtih comedic notes. Would have rated this story 3.5 stars.
I really enjoyed this book & Lauren Blakely. I am trying to figure out why I have gotten so cynical. 7 years later & Malone can’t approach Doug? Sloane, Doug’s daughter, never tries to tell her own Dad how much she loves Malone & wants to be with him? Since day 1 you don’t talk to your dad that you have a good relationship with? Ridic….but i hung in there because Malone is every woman’s dream!
I really enjoyed it I’ve rad a lot of her books and enjoy the characters
I burned through this one today. Male POV is one of my all time jams so when I read this was going to be one…click! It was sexy and fun, no angst and I had a good time reading it.
Wow.
This was HOT
Sloane and Malone! Cute right?! Right!
They was perfect for eachother.
The chemistry was on fire between them and everything in between!
The pair of them have a little bit of history so when they bump into each other again after so long all the thoughts came rushing back.
I honestly really liked this book, it was a easy read, it keeps your mind focused and wanting more.
I loved how we was back in the ‘Big Rock’ world too!
I absolutely love Lauren Blakely books and this one didn’t disappoint! The words just seem to mesh so well and just paint the perfect picture.
Satisfaction Guaranteed by Lauren Blakely welcomes us back in the Big Rock world and I loved it.
Meet Malone Goodman, the singing vet who’s dream is about to come true. And Sloane Elizabeth, his strictly off limits crush for a long time.
OMG, I love this book, I laughed so hard; it’s the perfect summer and beach read, witty and fun.
A cute story between Sloane & Malone. Chemistry, more like fireworks keep these two not being able to deny their attraction. Love the way this story evolved and played out. It was definitely hot and steamy and very inspiring lessons!! Another winner by one of my favourite one click authors.
This was a wonderful story! It’s Malone’s who is a veterinarian that is also a part time lounge singer on the side. He also sings to his patients which is sweet and cute! He’s hoping to actually be the sole owner of the practice that he’s been a partner of for seven years with Doug. Sloane is Doug’s daughter and strictly off limits Malone and her met a few years back and they had an amazing connection but they realized that even though they seemed to just click they couldn’t act on it being as things stood in their way beyond their control. So they’ve simply moved on their separate ways all these years. This story was a page turner and very cute and sweet! It’s a complete story that is exceptionally told by the author. Look forward to reading more books from them.
Malone is a veterinarian who also moonlights as a club singer. *Swoons* Sloane is his business partner daughter and is completely off limits but that doesn’t mean the attraction isn’t there between the two. Malone and Sloane became my favorite book couple after reading this story. They had good banter, driven and huge animal lovers. I have to say the sexual chemistry was off the charts between the two and I thought I was going to combust while reading. I loved seeing characters from previous novels make an appearance. It was like catching up with old friends. This book has become one of my favorite Lauren Blakely novels. The writing was solid, the plot held my interest and it left me with a big smile when I was finished. If you’re looking for a fun, steamy, animal loving book, look no further.
Such a cute and fun read!
Malone and Sloane made me fall in love with them since the beginning. I stood no chance. Malone will steal your heart easily. He is smart, funny, charming and understanding. He’s so good with Sloane and I was dying for them to finally be together. And Sloane? She’s one of a kind. She’s caring, a hardworker and honest.
The power of the chemistry between these two pours out of the pages. The development of their relationship is amazing. I loved how open they were with each other and how they weren’t afraid of speaking their feelings. Their connection is incredible and they can’t help but realize how they belong together.
Adorable, sweet and fun.
Lauren Blakely what can I say – she does it again with Satisfaction Guaranteed a fantastic new second chance romance with a sexy vet and the girl he cant have.
Malone has fallen for just one girl – Sloane the girl he spent a great week with, but when he finds out that his mentor and business partner is her father Malone knows that he needs to do everything he can to stay away from her. Flashforward 7 year and for the most part, he does that is until he finds out that Sloane will be joining their veterinary clinic running an animal rescue. Now Malone is stuck trying to keep things professional – that is until she needs his help in the bedroom. Now trying to separate their time at work during the day and in the bedroom at night is blurring the lines and Malone needs to make a decision.
I love Lauren Blakely’s male POV stories – getting inside the head of her male characters is so much fun and with Malone, she doesn’t disappoint. Ms. Blakely does a great job creating complex characters with witty dialog and great character development. Not to mention the fact Malone is not only a sexy vet he is also a croner that can play softball – why can’t I meet a guy like that. Sloan is also fantastic and a fun character to get to know. We also get some crossover with great cameos from other Lauren Blakely characters which is always fun. If you are looking for a fun summer read dont look any further than Satisfaction Guaranteed – its that good.
Satisfaction Guaranteed by Lauren Blakely is a fun, flirty and hot adventure. Malone and Sloane were awesome characters. This book was definitely a multi-themed one. Second chance, workplace romance, kinda off limits. But all these pale compared to the chemistry that they have. While they started off as a challenge, not much more than a fling, there was no way to hold back for them once the dam was cracked.
Overall I very much enjoyed Satisfaction Guaranteed by Lauren Blakely, how it was able to tie in past characters of Ms. Blakely’s and how special Malone and Sloane were as characters, both individually and as a couple. Not to discount the sheer fun and fire that they created on the page. Definitely a fun read.

Satisfaction Guaranteed
By: Lauren Blakely
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Andi Arndt
Satisfaction Guaranteed! The title fits this book so perfectly, I could not be more satisfied. I love all of Lauren Blakely’s books, but there is something that about this one that resonates with me. I am not sure if it is the animals? Who could ask for a more wonderful couple than one that takes care of cats and dogs? But I do believe it is the music. Listening to this book, the music is what truly added to my experience in this story. Malone and Sloan had met earlier in their lives, but when opportunity knocked, and that opportunity was Sloan’s father offering a job to Malone, their relationship was ended. Now years later, the two meet again and that chemistry is still there, and their passion is only rising. But will they act on their feelings? With so much at stake, the risk is high. Blakely has packed a lot into this story. She weaves the story letting the characters live out their dreams. She deals with learning to please a woman! And best of all, she lets us hear the standards, music that makes my heart sing! It’s a wonderful listen, one surely not to be missed.
This narration is nothing short of 10 stars. Andi Arndt and Jason Clarke are amazing in this. Arndt as always is wonderful as Sloan. She brings her to life, giving her the confidence and beauty that she is. Even a little singing in there too! But that brings us to Jason Clarke. What a crooner! He brings those standards to the forefront, singing 7 songs, each heartmelting! Blakely expertly wove these songs into the epilogue and created a masterpiece! It’s one of my all time favorite listens!
Add on the novella Sweet Desire narrated by Carly Robins and Jason Clarke and you have a bonus to make you want to listen to the Sinful nights! I love these quick looks into other stories!

Absolutely ADORED this story! Satisfaction is completely guaranteed!
Malone and Sloane (LOL) have a bit of history between them but it was complicated, so they went their separate ways. Seven years later, when they find themselves working at close quarters together, the frisson between them is undeniable, and if truth be told, they’ve never really let go of one another.
These two were adorable and pretty darn sweet. I loved their flirtatious banter and their easy way with one another. The chemistry between them was divinely hot! Malone is one swoony, sexy guy!!
Overall, a fun and fantastic feel-good, sizzling read. Thoroughly recommend!!
4.5 Malone and Sloane are so cute. The fact that Malone is a vet and great with animals makes him extra swoony. I loved that most of the pov was his and that made the book that much more enjoyable. I loved the undeniable chemistry and pull these two have. It felt so natural with these two and they were so cute together. I enjoyed their build up to their relationship a lot. I flew through the book, it was just that good!
When does a man KNOW he has found the one? How does he control himself to be sure, let alone keep all feelings in check while discovering if his feelings are true. And what challenge will he take to prove his prowess for her is genuine…even thru the ages of time.
Lauren Blakely has a new masterpiece with Satisfaction Guaranteed. Humorous, cute, HOT, sweet, challenging in a unique way, and hot…oh I think I said that already.
Sloane is a daddy’s girl, but she is the most independent woman on the streets. She knows what she wants and has no problem accepting challenges to achieve her goals desirer. She knows her limitations and where that line marked STOP is drawn… until Malone.
Malone is driven, smart, witty, caring, and a great source of support for animal-kind (small animal that is). Yet Malone has another side to him that seems to be a joy for all. He loves to sing those ole school crooner songs at the local tavern..LOL And the ladies seem to love it too.
Time can be a very stiff adversary and patience is not always a gift as some have said. But passion never dwindles when the heart knows and is true to its direction. When the teacher becomes the student ,allowing themselves to experience the new in their life, learning can be so dang fun.
Lauren, this is such a fun story with some interesting side notes. It rolls thru the mind and leave the body stirring in all sorts of ways. What a fun ride and what a fun ending.
Great story and I happily give this story 5-stars. BTW, this one leaves me so ready for the next one!
Satisfaction Guaranteed and Delivered in triplicate!!!
Satisfaction Guaranteed is the first book in the new Always Satisfied series by Lauren Blakely. This book is a page turner and will have you reading well past your usual lights out time and way into the morning. Just call in for a sick day from work and have some fun relaxing on the couch or better yet at the beach with this book and some snacks.
Malone is a vet and is partners with Sloane’s father at a vet clinic. However, before Malone and Sloane knew each other they “knew each other” in the most intimate and steamy way. It turns out that they had spent a week together 7 years prior to the story and the said fling week was off the charts hot. But alas, they soon realized with a major thud, or more aptly a bucket of cold water, that they could not be together due to Sloane’s father and Malone’s partnership. The kicker is that Malone cannot stop thinking about Sloane and that week, along with what may have been if not for the circumstances. While Sloane, subconsciously, has been waiting to Malone because she thinks he is perfect.
In the present Sloane’s father is set to retire but before Malone can do anything he finds out that Sloane’s animal rescue business will be run from the vet clinic. So these two are now in each other orbit daily and let’s say the air is not just ripe with pet smells but these two are more than emitting pheromones as they are in heat for each other and the sexual tension so think you could cut it with a dull knife!! These two have to figure out how to work with each other and it is interesting to read how they try to handle all the ins and outs of their working relationship.
As always Lauren has woven a terrific and engaging story with wonderful characters and interesting side stories, along with a few characters from previous books. Sloane is smart, fun and flirty but is also nice and sweet. Malone is everything you want in a romance novel leading man – the perfect guy who has strength and is an alpha but also shows his sweet and tender side at just the right moment. Plus the guy sings and loves animals!!!
Sloane and Malone need to decide if they are willing to take a second chance on something that could be near perfect but could hurt other people around them or will they just keep orbiting each other with all sorts of turning but no big bang.
I loved Satisfaction Guaranteed and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun book to spend some time with.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own but I hope they help you to grab a copy of this book and have a great reading experience.
4.5 Stars
Satisfaction Guaranteed is the all new fantastic novel by Lauren Blakely. It is the first book in the Always Satisfied series and OMG it was so good. I loved catching up with old characters and I adored the new ones. I laughed, I swooned, and I never wanted it to end. Satisfaction Guaranteed is witty, full of banter, and was seriously unputdownable!
Malone was HOT HOT HOT!! He is a junior partner for a veterinary office and very successful. His love for his job is what makes him good at what he does. The only problem is his bosses daughter, Sloane. They had a short fling awhile back and even though he’s never forgotten her,she is off limits. But when Sloane comes to work at the office, all bets are off.
I loved this book so much! Malone and Sloane’s attraction was off the charts hot. Their chemistry was on point too as well as their banter. Satisfaction Guaranteed was an enjoyable read and I can’t wait to see where Ms Blakely takes this series!
