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.

Oh my dear lord! I love this writer so very much! She simply creates the best comedy couples in the whole world!
This time, she brought a romantic veterinarian and a sweet animals rescuer. What a hotter couple in every way.
Like all the big rock’s series, the book begins with a delightful prologue where the protagonist tells what is the goal of his life, in this case, Malone wants not only to make the girl feels pleasure during sex, he wants her to … purrs like a cat.
Malone needed to give up his flirting with Sloane after discovering seven years before that she is the daughter of his boss, of course now nothing has changed, but when they begin to work together the attraction between them will be uncontrollable.
Sloane rescues animals from the street and gives them home. When she sees her crush again and reveal that never has an orgasm, Malone makes this his life goal, his pleasure task.
The beginning of the book is a bit slow, whit them always hiding their attraction, but gradually the connection between them deepens to the point that they begin questioning if they will really be able to live without each other.
Filled with hilarious moments and filled with sweet scenes, Lauren Blakely created a plot about how to fight for the love of your life with many moments of tension and agony to bring the reader to the climax of history.
I love the covers this series but this, in particular, is extremely perfect for the book with this beautiful cat making me melt and purr. I loved to see some characters from previous books and loved passionately the playlist that fits perfectly with the plot.
5/5 stars

Seven years ago, Malone and Sloane spent a glorious week together, but when Malone found out that Sloane was his business partner’s daughter, that was that. They had kept in touch, but hadn’t seen each other in a year, when they bump into each other. The attraction hasn’t faded away, but it won’t get easier as Sloane will be working in the same building.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED is this summer’s beach read! Malone is a veterinarian, Sloane started an animal rescue; what’s not to love! Charismatic characters; cute interactions with dogs and cats; music; friendships. It has everything: perfectly paced, no lulls, great epilogues, other blossoming romances; it’s such a happy book! While there are a couple of serious issues, they’re handled swiftly, deftly, and move the story along.
Lauren Blakely found yet another clever way of steaming up the pages. It’s astounding how she can so seamlessly blend sweet and super hot without missing a beat and leave the reader … satisfied! And paraphrasing the famous Hamlet soliloquy was genius! Ms. Blakely writes the best kind of fantasy: characters you’d like to be friends with, the sort of life you strive for, a woman you’d like to be, a man you’d want as your boyfriend. She writes the life we aspire to, the love we hope for; they are dreams that look attainable, no outlandish plot twists or Cinderellas and billionaire jerks.
I think SATISFACTION GUARANTEED would be an ideal book to introduce gentlemen to the world of romance novels, because they could learn a lot! SATISFACTION GUARANTEED is happiness, love, sunshine; it’s like eating a fruit ice on a beautiful summer day. Light and refreshing; just perfect!
The books I read from Lauren Blakely the more I become an even bigger fan of her work. She has never delivered a book that I have not loved. Her writing style is one I enjoy as it draws me in and weaves a tale that entertains me and has me turning the page unable to put the book down.
Your satisfaction is definitely guaranteed with this one.
I loved Malone, he is a gentleman that has you swooning straight off. Sloane, I loved her mystery, shes challenging which is something that appeals to Malone. Against all odds these two are made for each other.
Such a fun read! It’s been a while since I’ve read a Lauren Blakely book and I forgot how witty and charming, swoony and fantastical her characters are.
Satisfaction Guaranteed is about second-chance love and finding your one person, going after them, no matter the cost.
Malone and Sloane (HA! see what she did there!) We fun and sexy and I loved every interaction between the two of them. Malone is a charming crooner and Vet, while Sloane runs an animal rescue and just so happens to be the daughter of Malone’s business partner. Although Sloane is forbidden, in her father told Malone to stay away… when the two reconnect after 7 years of chance encounters – the two explode with passion when they get thrown together to work.
Loved this book and it’s ending and CAN. NOT. WAIT… for Malone’s twin sister – Truly’s story next!
For Satisfaction Guaranteed, Lauren Blakely dives back into telling the majority of the story through the male perspective, and boy have I missed the way she takes on the hero’s point of view and runs with it, delving into male idiosyncrasies, their say it like it is mentality, and their competitive nature that seems to come out regardless of the situation or the absurdity of circumstances.
And, the fact that there’s already an established past between Malone and Sloane makes the plot that much more intriguing because I find myself more invested in story lines where the hero and heroine have a second chance to be together, and even though these two only spent a week in each other’s lives, it was clear just how much an impression they made on each other and the fact that they never stopped thinking about their time together, even 7 years later.
Malone is definitely one sexy and total package book boyfriend; he’s a vet, which means he loves and cares for animals, but he’s also a lounge singer, crooning out the classics and seducing women with his voice and his sex appeal. It’s clear that Sloan has remained on his mind during the years apart, so when she reenters his life and wears her feelings for him on her sleeve, there’s not much Malone won’t do to have Sloan back in his life and in his bed because the sizzling chemistry between them forces their hand in more ways than one.
As much as I enjoyed Malone and Sloane, I have to admit that I adored Truly, and I’m beyond excited to get her story.
Satisfaction Guaranteed is a quick, light, steamy read that oozes sexuality and attraction and proves just how much satisfaction Malone and Sloane provide each other even after several years apart.
4 Posion Apples
You know a Lauren Blakely book has the main characters names rhyming (Sloane and Malone) it is going to be a fun read. This book was full of not only humor but steamy, sexy scenes. Sloane and Malone met years ago and shared a hot and intense weekend. It ended with them going going their separate ways not because of what happened but the fact that Malone discovers Sloane is the daughter of the man he going into business with. Father and daughter do not share the same last name. Years later is where this story starts. The two run into each other again and both can feel the connection is still there and it turns out Slaone is going to start working at the vet clinic Malone and her father run. This was such a great story. I loved that Ms Blakely ties in appearances from some of her past books. One of the characters mentioned is Nick from Mr O who happens to be cousins with Malone. It is always a treat to get a chance to revisit with characters from other books. The way the tie ins are written into the story add to the overall sense of the world Ms Blakely creates with her books. The chemistry between Sloane an Malone is so strong. I love that Malone is more than just another alpha male. He has so much depth to him. His love of music and singing songs from years gone by is refreshing. The songs he sings are ones that remind you what love is about. You will not be disappointed with this story. Absolutely wonderful read!
4.5 Stars
I guarantee all of your sexy rom-com needs will be satisfied after reading this book. Lauren Blakely once again brings us a story chock-full of heat, heart, and humor. Her brand of romantic comedy is the gold standard and she does not disappoint.
Malone and Sloan are one of those couples you cannot help but fall in love with. They are perfect for each other in every way, but obstacles keep falling in their path to togetherness. So instead, they make a limited-time arrangement to complete the ‘unfinished business’ between them.
Little do they know that a limited-time affair isn’t going to cut for them. Their connection, chemistry, and history are just too strong for a short-term interlude. But are the perceived hurdles in their way to high to navigate to a happily ever after? Or will they just run those hurdles down to get to the ending they both desire?
This was an absolutely fun-filled read with a dash of angst and some major feels. It also made me a wee bit sad because the cover of the book has a cat that looks somewhat like my cat that passed away last week plus there were quite a few cats in the story, so yeah, I was definitely missing my Boom. But Malone and Sloane’s story brought a smile to my face, thanks to the lighthearted feel and the wit and banter these two had going along with all that friendly flirting and sexual tension between them. There’s a sole source of conflict that’s stopping these two from truly being together and it’s the same one that stopped them short seven years ago: Sloane’s dad, aka Malone’s business partner. But that conflict was set aside for the greater good by Dr. Goodman, who was, indeed, a good man (and veterinarian AND singer!) because every girl needs to be satisfied, if you know what I mean. Wink, wink. Satisfaction Guaranteed was a reminder of sorts that plans can change, especially when our priorities do and you don’t always necessarily have to sacrifice one thing for another. You can, indeed, have it all. Five stars.
Satisfaction Guaranteed is Lauren Blakely’s newest swoonworthy, sexy romance. It’s like she knows exactly what I love and writes it! Second chance romance is my favorite and Lauren writes them better than anyone else. This has a little added forbidden which just adds a to the sexiness. Malone is a sexy, smart veterinarian who’s also a crooner. Start fanning yourself now, ladies. He’s smart, mature, loves animals, he’s loyal and he sings like an angel. When a sexy blonde catches his eyes while he’s singing, he barely makes it through the song to get to her. They have an instant attraction but he can’t pursue her because she’s his new boss’s daughter. Fast forward seven years and Sloane is back in his life. This time they are actually working together. How long can they keep it purely professional? Malone never backs down from a challenge and he vows to give her what no other man has ever been able to. Can they work together by day and spend their nights in each other’s arms? Will Malone let The One get away again? Oh Malone, you captured my heart. Everything about you is perfection. I feel like I say this a lot but Malone is one of my favorite Blakely Boys! I love his confidence, brains, sexiness and I’m a sucker for a man who can sing. Sloane is the perfect woman for him. She’s dedicated, smart, gorgeous and isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. They support each other as much as they show their love for each other. Lauren Blakely knows how to write romance with sexy, smart leading men and women, lovable secondary characters and adorable animals! Overall, I loved every word. I laughed, cried, majorly swooned and got very hot and bothered. I also had the pleasure of reading while listening and let me tell you, that amped up the tingles! If you’re not an audio book fan and are looking to try one, GET THIS! You won’t be sorry!
“You can’t be this good-looking, this smart, this caring, this charming, and this talented too,” she says softly. I tap my chin.
“Hmm. You’re right. Something must be terribly wrong with me. Perhaps you’ll find it.”
“I’m not sure if you’ve gotten the message yet. But everything you do turns me on.”
“Yep.”
“If I have a drink of water, that would turn you on?” She pretends to down a glass. I do a slow, exaggerated nod. “Absolutely. Major wood.”
“You do make me purr.”
“That’s the goal, woman. That’s always the goal.”
I love Lauren Blakely’s light romance. They are a mixture of just enough heat, laughter, fun and of course sexy.
It’s hard to respect Dad and at the same time want to romp in the sack with his daughter. Especially a daughter that you had a short fling with years ago. But the heart wants what the heart wants. Malone is just as loving and as perfect as a guy can be. He’s funny, nice, respectful and swoon worthy. He works hard, is good at what he does and to top it all off he loves animals.
Sloane has a heart of gold, wants to save all the animals and has never reached the pinnacle of satisfaction. She’s always remembered the almost affair she had with Malone and nothing has ever compared.
These two together are just as cute as can be. The spark between he two of them can light the brightest of fires. He agrees to give her what she has been missing and she agrees to loosen up. What a fun journey this was and as always, Lauren you made me smile with another 5-star read.
NO SPOILERS!
Satisfaction Guaranteed was a fun, flirty, sexy, lighthearted standalone romantic comedy that made me laugh, smile, and swoon. I absolutely loved the storyline and characters, as well as Lauren Blakely’s writing style and sense of humor. I adored Malone and Sloane’s love story from beginning to end, and was ecstatic with the conclusion. With every new release, Lauren Blakely has produced romantic comedy gold, and Satisfaction Guaranteed was no exception!
I live for male POV romcoms and Satisfaction Guaranteed absolutely nailed it! A sexy, swoon-worthy, singing vet and the woman who got away grabbed my attention and I honestly could not put this book down! Malone and Sloane were an amazing couple and I enjoyed that their chemistry was just as on point now as it was several years ago when they first met. I love that Sloane has a secret that she’s keeping from Malone yet when he finds out? Holy. Hell. The hotness level of this book went through the ROOF! This couple just fit so perfectly together it made Satisfaction Guaranteed the perfect read to start my summer!
Can this book live up to its name? You better believe it!
I love it when my leading man is a little bit quirky and a whole lot sexy, and Malone is all of that! This man is swoon-inducing, panty-melting seduction at its finest. He’s smart, successful, loves animals, and knows his way around a bedroom. And he sings! I’m telling you, Malone is perfection!
Sloane is so easy to be enamored with. She’s sweet and kind, caring and as animal-loving as Malone. She’s funny and sexy, sometimes shy and sometimes a vixen. Women can be complex, and I love that you see all the different sides to her personality.
This book certainly doesn’t lack chemistry and seduction. It oozes out of every scene. From the very beginning these two will hook you into their story. It was an all-around fantastic book. And I love this all-male POV! I’m one of the rare readers who found Lauren Blakely after her bestselling Big Rock series, and I definitely need to go back and read them! Especially when there are apparently cameos with some other well-known LB heroes I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet.
This is another book in a long list of LB novels I think you’re going to love!
Endearingly funny rom com. Lauren has once again given us a story that leaves us wanting more…Malone and Sloane are couple with off the charts chemistry. Malone is a vet and Sloane runs an animal rescue with a lot in common they also have complications. Sloane is the daughter of Malone’s mentor, boss and partner. Malone has been warned from day one Sloane is off limits. For seven years he has not crossed the line until a chance meeting between Sloane when she kisses him on the cheek. All bets are off as these two star crossed lovers face reality and admit their chemistry. This is their story as they face family, success, hope, trust and love when Sloane’s father brings her rescue business into the office forcing the two to work daily. This book is guaranteed to give you satisfaction. A five star read!
I was provided an advanced reading copy of this book to review and to provide an honest review.
Lauren Blakely is back with her specialty- male POV comedy, and by golly it’s fantastic, as expected! Malone, oh Malone….. a super-attractive vet who sings lounge tunes? Swoon! I adored Sloan’s character- how perfect that she worked in animal rescue. Filled with flirty dialog and amazing chemistry, there wasn’t one single line in Satisfaction Guarantee that did not leave me just that. Second chance romances are always a favorite, and I love getting a glimpse of Blakely’s characters from past books- this crew is so fun. As always, her books read just fine as standalones, but she creates such a fun network of characters, you’ll want to indulge in her backlist if you are a new reader. Loved this one from start to finish!
3.5*
Satisfaction Guaranteed is a sweet, sexy, second-chance, slightly forbidden, romance. Years after spending one incredible week together, Malone and Sloane (say that 5 times fast), are thrown back together and find the attraction and chemistry hasn’t waned a bit. But, (and isn’t there always a but?), once again they find her father standing in their way.
Ms. Blakely really knows how to write a swoony-worthy hero and a sassy heroine, and Malone and Sloane are perfect examples. Unfortunately I just never completely connected with them, or with their story. Everything was there- the chemistry, the banter, the swooniness, but for some reason this book just didn’t clilck with me. I don’t know if I wasn’t in the right headspace when I read it, because it really did have everything I adore from her stories. I definitely think this was a case of it’s me, not the book.
I am looking forward to doing a “reread” via the audiobook- to hear Jason Clarke sing?!? Yes, please! And I can’t wait for Truly’s book!
Seven years ago Malone spent an amazing week filled with between the sheets fun with a woman named Sloane, but that blissful little week came to an abrupt end when he found out that she was his new bosses’ daughter. Between her younger age, and her connection to his new boss he figured it best to let her go, at the time he thought he was doing the right thing.
But now that Sloane has wandered back into his life again he is starting to think he made a mistake back then… he wants a second chance with her. But everyone knows mixing business with pleasure never ends well!
With it’s sexy feline infused references, and non-stop passion filled banter, Satisfaction Guaranteed is bound to have readers smiling from the first page to the last! This story was outstanding, the words were addictive and emotionally charged, and the characters were lovable and had off the charts chemistry. Malone completely stole the show for me, I mean what is not to love about a sexy veterinarian, who has impeccable taste in music, and has an amazing (sometimes dirty) sense of humor! I highly recommend you get your hands on this one, and meet this charming couple, their naughty little happily every after is certain to leave you thoroughly satisfied!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am leaving my honest opinion.

4.5 ‘Malone Will Make You Purr’ Stars!
I loved Malone and Sloane’s funny, sweet & steamy, forbidden romance! This is told in Malone’s pov with peeks into Sloane’s mind in a clever way. Malone and Sloane had a brief and passionate affair that ended quickly. They have never forgotten each other, always wondering the ‘what if’s’. Now, seven years later, they have a second chance at what they always wished for. Unfortunately work gets in the way once again. But this time, it is impossible to deny their explosive chemistry when they work side by side. Finding inventive and romantic ways to fan the flame of their desires. I am totally in love with Malone and Sloane! They are both strong, witty, and caring people. They are so perfect together, with their shared love of animals, they also encourage and support each other, and their chemistry is off the charts. Malone is so swoony as an animal whisperer by day and a crooner by night! It is also great to catch up with old friends in this Blakely world, setting up more intriguing love matches. Lauren continues to create hilarious, touching, and hot and sexy romances that capture my heart!
