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 am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
Another great swoon worthy book by Lauren. I really enjoyed Malone and Sloane’s story. Lots of hot chemistry.
Pure Blakely Brilliance!
I know without a doubt, if I need a pick me up, feel good story, I can count on this author to deliver. This book is in my top 5 of her novels for lots of reasons. Firstly, she is a master at writing in the male POV. She can depict a male’s emotions and give us such detail on what makes them tick without making them seem like a douchebag. Secondly, she is a genius with the flirty, dirty banter between her couples, and this book was superb. She also makes her characters feel so genuine that I come away wanting to hang with the gang. The thing I cherish the most about her tales are that she makes her heroes and heroines equal. It is not all about the hero having to please and pleasure the heroine only, there is a perfect balance, and that to me is sexy.
Malone is the crooning vet that has a heart of gold. He is extremely loyal and honorable. He is looking out for everyone, human and animals alike. And only someone with the same mind set could be his life partner. Luckily Sloane is that girl. She is smart and vivacious and only Malone can bring out her inner feline. Except their relationship can’t happen due to Sloane being the daughter of his business partner and mentor. This then brings about a lot of tension and the need for them to escape away to Tahiti for a week. If only it could be forever.
This book is highly recommended for all rom-com lovers and especially Blakely fans. They will treasure how this couple fit into the Big Rock book family and how it also sets up the couple for her next release. I can’t wait to re read this one already, but I’ll add the audio and listen to Malone croon his tunes to me.
Satisfaction Guaranteed is Lauren Blakely’s next epic swoony romance. I have read every single word she has written and have loved them all. She really can write anything and everything. My name is Sandra and I am a Lauren Blakely addict. There I said it. Now, we can move on to Malone and Sloane’s story.
She was off-limits. Seven years ago they had one week of a real good time. That’s when the off-limits speech came in from his new boss. Her father. Every time they ran into each other over the years, it was a quick hello how are you. Now, they were totally, epically, hugely fucked.
Malone didn’t see this coming. Sloane working in his place of business. In her father’s office. As he was looking over paws and test results, Sloane was in the next office finding homes for animals. He had a hard enough time keeping his distance from the one woman he always wanted and now she was even more tempting then ever. Not only because they had unfinished business but because she is beautiful inside and out. She makes liking her too easy. She is everything he can’t have.
Sloane wants him. Badly. He makes her swoon with every song he sings. Every wink he throws her way. Every look he gives her. And when he is taking care of an animal? She falls even harder. She knows they have unfinished business from seven years ago. She wants to finish it so much. She knows he would be just the man to make her purr. And she wants to purr…
He is up to the challenge. The challenge to give her something that she has been missing. Come on…we all knew they wouldn’t be able to resist.
…And I am so happy that they didn’t. This book is fucking hot! It might actually be my favorite Lauren book! It had everything and more. Malone is dreamy with his swoony voice and his love of animals. He is also so sweet and sexy as sin. Sloane is beautiful, smart, sexy, and strong. She knows what she wants and goes for it. These two have many passions and it made me fall for them even more.
Overall…it was everything! It gave me all the feels. I laughed. I cried. I swooned. All of them so hard. I was hooked from the very beginning until the very end. It was fun seeing past characters. That’s one of my favorite things about Lauren’s books, she throws in some gems to find. I can’t wait for Instant Gratification!!!
P.S Now I want pancakes for dinner and visit an Amina’s rescue center.
Quotes:
Tonight is a bubble, and I’m going to enjoy the hell out of it until it pops. Because it will.
I reach for her face, lift up her chin, and meet her gaze. “Sloane Elizabeth, you’re still the most alluring woman I’ve ever met.”
Sloane: You say things like that and . . .
Malone: And what?
Sloane: And it makes me swoon.
Malone: Then I’m doing it right. But maybe save the swooning for when you get here, because then I can catch you.
Sloane and Malone finally get their chance!
A fabulous week of getting to know one another ended abruptly when Malone’s dream job is with a man who turns out to be Sloane’s father. Career must come first, and that’s the status quo for seven years. Until Sloane’s dad brings her animal rescue agency into his and Malone’s veterinary practice’s offices.
The steam quotient is very high as both Malone and Sloane realize their chemistry is as combustible as ever. And when one “what happens in Tahiti stays in Tahiti” night reveals an even bigger problem, Malone decides to throw caution to the wind and fix every thing that needs fixing.
I enjoyed the gradual maturing of this relationship that reflected the maturing priorities of the two main characters. Priorities are examined, risks are taken, choices are made, and the twist with Doug at the end was absolutely priceless. Their HEA had a sweet ripple effect that benefited two other couples as well.
The writing style was different – mostly from Malone’s POV with a few short bits from Sloane tossed in – but it really worked to demonstrate Malone’s heart, humor, loyalty, and dedication. Sloane may not get much direct page time, but she makes the most of what she gets so the reader never feels that the entire story is just from his POV. As a side note, I absolutely loved the immersive inclusion of the oldies music, how it was used to convey emotions and how Malone used it in his side career. Simply brilliant. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Wow another great read from the very talented Lauren Blakely and another hero to swoon over……
I loved being back in the Big Rock World and I loved that this story was centred around a veterinarian office. I loved the witty flirty banter that Malone and Sloane shared and for me this is second chance / romantic comedy at its best.
Malone Goodman had a fling with Sloane Elizabeth a few years ago but when he found out she was his business partners daughter he realised he has crossed a line that was never going to be crossed again problem is this woman haunts his dreams he can’t get her out of his head …….
Sloane is now running her animal rescue out of her fathers office so what will happen when these two face each other on a daily basis, will lines be crossed will love and passion win the day…..
This book ticked all my boxes, I love the characters, I love the chemistry and the flirty banter, I love the story and I loved catching up with characters from the previous books in this series of stand-alones. The hero is swoon worthy and the heroine is adorable and together they are perfect. The perfect mix of love, passion and humour make this a great read. The title says it all !!!!!!
“I can’t take it anymore. Just get me naked and do bad things to me.”
With a quote like that, you know this book is ALL about guaranteeing someone’s utmost satisfaction.
I loved this book! Actually, when it comes to male POV stories, Lauren Blakely has nailed this niche. Plus, I love her creativity in delivering the heroine’s thought. Honestly, it’s genius and funny. Also, let’s not forget, Ms. Blakely is all about giving her audience the sexy, naughty bits. There’s plenty of heat in this book to have you reading one handed. *Wink* Wink*
Malone and Sloane (yes, their names rhyme and in the book it’s a funny joke too) deliver what I like to call the trope fusion. Forbidden romance with a second chance to make things happen. The biggest obstacle in this romance is… ahhhh nope. Read it and find out.
I love Blakely romance novels, and after reading I was once again a satisfied reader. I GUARANTEE you’ll feel the same.
Lauran Blakely has absolutely become my go to for cute light romance books this year! She always does a great job creating characters that I actually like throughout the entire book.
Malone is an attractive vet who loves his job and his patients, and to add to the sexiness factor he sings at clubs in his free time. Sloane started a rescue clinic to help find foster and adoptive families for pets, together they are the perfect animal loving couple! The chemistry between Sloane and Malone (I love the rhyming names) is off the charts and I couldn’t help but smile at their constant flirty banter. Characters from previous books always seem to pop up in Lauren Blakely books (I need to make a character cheat sheet), and I love to see how all the couples are doing. I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out, I really want to know more about Truly (Malone’s twin) because I loved her sass every time she was brought up in the book!
*** I RECEIVED AN ARC IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW***
I’ve said this before, but every time I think I’ve found my favorite Lauren Blakely book, she releases a new one that immediately makes it to the top of my favorites list. Satisfaction Guaranteed is definitely one of my favorite Blakely books, but also one of my fave books for 2019, so far. Not only did this story have two extremely relatable, funny, smart, sexy characters, but we got to re-visit some fave characters from the Big Rock Series. I always get SO EXCITED when I get to catch up with some characters from previous stories I’ve also loved.
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, Malone and Sloane (their names are everything). Their names are so fitting for the type of characters they were with their flirtatious and banter dialogue. I felt their attraction with each exchange they had throughout the book. Their story was one that can cover many different tropes (forbidden, co-workers, friends – lovers, and even second chance).
Sloane and Malone met seven years ago and they had instant chemistry, both physical and emotional. They spent some time together and the more they learned about each other, the more infatuated they become with one another. That is until Malone realized that this amazing woman was the only daughter of his mentor; his boss, which made Sloane completely off limits. Sloane and Malone parted ways, but they kept tabs on each other throughout the years (which included some slight social media stalking). When Malone and Sloane had spent time together before realizing they could not pursue their relationship, they had confided in each other and talked about heir dreams. They encouraged each other to pursue something that made them happy.
Seven years later, they bump into each other and their chemistry stronger than it was before, if that is at all possible. They had a natural magnetizing attraction despite knowing that they could not pursue their desires and follow their heart. They shared a kiss during that brief encounter, thus setting the course that will follow them after seven years apart. When work circumstances bring them together, under the same Veterinary Practice, Sloan and Malone and truly faced with temptation and their flirtatious relationship and conversations are natural.
Lauren gave us so much swooness in this book. I couldn’t put it down. I’m sure this book will be one of my top re-reads of this year and others to follow as it is one of those stories that really brings you to a happy place. You will not be able to stop smiling, laughing, awwwing, and rooting for these two wonderful characters.
Thank you Lauren for another amazing book.
****ARC for an honest review*** Male point of view Romcom… Malone and Slaone had an amazing connection when they first met. However, timing was not right for them. Experiencing a second chance book from a male point of view was exhilarating and a glass of fresh water. The woman POV can at times can have a lot of back and forth on decisions and you wonder what a male would do in that situation. Both characters yet again had depth and substance to them which is nothing short of what Lauren Blakely always provides. This title is perfection because your satisfaction is guaranteed.
Satisfaction was DEFINITELY guaranteed!!!
Malone made me sigh every time. Not only did he have an awesome job but was a singer too!!! He loved his job, values, and his mentor/business partner. The only hard part was that the woman he wanted a second chance with was Sloane, the daughter of his business partner. He had been warned to stay away so when Sloane starts working with them, he has to work hard to keep everything professional.
Sloane who has a “little” issue when it comes to men, finally confides in Malone and takes him up on his 1 week arrangement. Little do they know that it is hard trying to keep things looking normal while at work. Even when things become hard for her when Malone starts to pull away, she decides to take matters into her own hands.
This book will have your emotions all over the place. You will laugh, cry, and annoyed at times. Lauren has written another great book and made sure that your satisfaction was guaranteed.
A funny romcom from the very talented Lauren Blakely. Seven year since Sloane and Malone met. Shared a passionate week, then reality came into play. Fast forward and now they are working together. What can go wrong when you’re working in close quarters with someone you are insanely attracted to? You’ll laugh at the antics and swoon with the romance. Sometimes you just can’t walk away from something you want. Sometimes you have to find a way. Sit back and enjoy the budding romance of these two and even get a glimpse of other characters you’ve come to love…you’ll love this book. Satisfaction Guaranteed
Is it possible? Did Lauren just give me a hero I love more than the others? I think she did! Malone is everything. A funny, loving, sexy, animal loving singer that can cause immediate swooning. He just might be able to hold me over until I can get my hands and the Blakely stud.
Good, cute quick read! Who doesn’t love a books with lots of cute pets, a handsome crooner, a strong willed heroine & an off limits relationship.
OMG I absolutely adore Lauren Blakely’s male POV RomComs!! I always know there will be a wonderful, sexy, charming, swoonworthy, and funny hero. And Malone fits the bill so perfectly. Oh and he’s a vet, who clearly loves animals. Sigh. Oh yeah and he sings, but not pop, rock or country, no this man sings the classically romantic songs that will surely make you swoon. Heavy sigh. I honestly could not get enough of this seemingly perfect man. Sloane comes back into his life seven years after the one wonderful week they spent together before he knew who she was. Sloane is now an animal rescuer which just makes them even more perfect for each other except this is an even bigger complication. Back then, he could not allow himself to be with her because she posed a huge complication to his future not to mention he was told not to. Not much has changed as far as the complication piece, except now that they have come back into each others lives, their chemistry is even stronger if that is even possible, so there is no way to ignore or deny it. So they don’t. They act on their attraction and agree to allow themselves some glorious time in “Tahiti” but that’s all it can be, because his situation really has not changed so he still can’t keep her. Or can he? Is there a way to make this all work out for them to live happily ever after? It is definitely a fun and super sexy ride to find out in this new must read RomCom that will surely bring out the romantic in you!!
Lauren Blakely is always a fun & steamy read. This book also includes adorable pussy cats & a Frank Sinatra loving crooning main character – how can you resist?? Sloane & Malone met 7 years ago & felt instant chemistry, but broke it off when they found out Sloane’s dad Doug was soon to be Malone’s boss & business partner. Fast forward to present, when Doug offers his daughter office space at their vet clinic for her animal rescue charity. Sloane & Malone are perfect for each other & it doesn’t take them long to realize that’s more important than fighting their attraction. Read the book, I think you’ll enjoy it!
Lauren Blakely has written another winner!
Satisfaction Guaranteed is definitely what you will get with this book. I love second chance stories and this one scores an A++. This story is about Malone and Sloane, who met 7 years earlier and hit it off right away however Malone has to break things off as he just learns that Sloane is the daughter of his new boss. Fast forward 7 years and they meet again on the streets and start flirting with each other and then Malone learns that she will be working in the vet’s office with him and her dad. The attraction is still simmering between them and I love the way they banter back and forth with each other. Malone is totally swoon worthy. How can you not fall in love with a guy who loves animals, likes to sing and is a great son, brother and friend. Sloane is still the sweet and funny woman that Malone fell for before and I love how she isn’t afraid to speak her mind and let him know what she needs. These two together make the ultimate couple. The story will make you laugh and cry and just make you fall in love with these two. I love a story written from the man’s POV and this one won’t disappoint you. Trust me when I say you have to read this story.
Lauren Blakely knows how to write the perfect man. Dr. Malone Goodman is practically perfect in every way and I devoured Satisfaction Guaranteed in just one sitting.
Satisfaction Guaranteed is dirty and perfect in the best ways possible. Blakely hit this one out of the ballpark!
Lauren Blakely serves up Satisfaction Guaranteed with her ever present charm and humor.
“It’s not a huge deal that you revealed you stalk him. And hey, he keeps tabs on you too. You’re just a couple of stalkers.”
Between all the schmexy time and adorable animals, since both Malone and Sloane work with animals, you will also love the wit and banter between everyone that comes and goes throughout their daily lives. Lauren Blakely really does deliver it all.
And did I mention how steamy this book is? Hold on to your panties, because you might need to change a few. Whew!!
“I’ll get you purring. It’s a one hundred percent satisfaction guaranteed promise.”
Dr. Goodman and Sloane Elizabeth have aced Chemistry 101, they are absolutely electric.
They find themselves working together after Sloane’s father brings her business, an animal rescue, in to work side by side with their already thriving veterinarian business. Malone has thought about Sloane for years, but was told by his business partner at his time of hire that his daughter was off limits. Malone liked his job and therefore stayed away, but the attraction has always been there. Now, it’s years later and they are working in close quarters, the sexual tension is palpable and soon neither can stay away.
Seven years of waiting…I’ll just say…it’s combustible.
If you love Lauren Blakely and you love a good book, then you will love Satisfaction Guaranteed.
One word?
Yet again, Ms. Blakely has gone and written a book that had me weak at the knees, swooning and sighing happily. Normally I am a dark romance girl. But lately I’ve found myself gravitating towards lighter reads, and Lauren is known for her amazing, fun, swoony, hot as hell, witty and hilarious reads and Satisfaction Guaranteed was just that and .
A male POV read? YES YES YES! Loved it. More than love it! Devoured every single word. I’ve read a few male POV reads but nothing has and I don’t think ever will measure up to A Lauren Blakely book, read in male POV. The author is flawless, and she delivers them amazingly. Quite literally has me weak at the knees.
Satisfaction Guaranteed is a second chance romance filled with swoon-worthy scenes and she bought back some old favorites faces but had a whole new twist for this plot.
:
Malone and Sloane are the mains and they are absolutely addictive, lovable, adorable, and you can’t help but fall for these two and cheer them on.
These two had an epic week together several years ago but it was short lived when Malone found out Sloane was his bosses daughter. So going their separate ways… They carried on with their life like that epic week they spent together never happens. But years later, and Sloane is back and is now bought into the vet clinic where her father and Malone work.. and things aren’t so easy to keep forgotten anymore.
Will these two be able to keep their hands off each other? Or will they find themselves drawn to each other all over again and unable to resist. Will there be a happy ending for these two?
You are going to have to read the book and find out.
Let me say… This read was and that it was anticipated to be. It was addictive, it was fun yet intense all rolled into one. It was an easy read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I laughed and I swooned, and I fell in love with these characters over and over again.
5 swoony stars!
