Publisher's summary

For fans of Casey McQuiston and Abby Jimenez comes a bold, hilarious, and out-of-the-box novel about mixing business with battery-operated pleasure....

When it comes to her career, Cade Elgin has it all figured out. Only “professional talk” has become her default mode, relationships are nonexistent, and don’t even mention the word “orgasm”. All work and no play makes Cade a dull human. But when she inherits a sex toy store, Cade is caught between business and a store filled with every imaginable kind of pleasure - including her infuriatingly irresponsible and deliciously sexy new co-owner.

Selena Mathis learned the hard way that she can have too much of a good thing. Which is precisely why she’s taken an oath of celibacy and is focusing on how to make Satisfaction Guaranteed a success. She won’t mess this up. Not this time. But once again, Selena’s emotions are getting in the way and tempting her with a serious attraction to buttoned-up Cade.

But the shop isn’t exactly vibe-ing, and Cade and Selena are on the verge of losing both their income and the possibility of love. Can they find a way to work together...before Satisfaction Guaranteed runs out of batteries?

Critic reviews

"A truly funny rom-com that’s full of heat and heart." (Kirkus Reviews)

"An enchanting must-read." (Publishers Weekly)

Just an all around fun book

Satisfaction Guaranteed is exactly what I was hoping for going into it after reading the summary. It is a super fun book with charming characters. It gets ridiculous sometimes in the absolute best of ways. It dealt with some heavy issues very well and I enjoyed it so much.

Lori Prince is an amazing narrator and her style always brings such emotion to the characters and she did it again with this one.

What a fun book !

I love this audiobook ! It was so much fun. I love the playfulness of this story and the characters!! Buy this book. Bye for now…
I’m off to listen to her next book😉🎉🎉🎉

Probably The Cutest Thing I’ve Ever Read

This book didn’t have the right to be this darn good. Seriously, I had to pause it a few times towards the end because I was sobbing happy tears. The synopsis says it’s for fans of Casey McQuiston and I just finished One Last Stop, also one of the cutest books I’ve ever read – so I would say that fits pretty well. Which also means I’m going to be checking out Abby Jimenez very soon!

Now, back to Satisfaction Guaranteed. Stetz-Waters does a fantastic job writing basically two polar opposite characters and throwing them into a situation that, really, neither one of them could control. I liked that Cade had to soften some of the things that she was known for and that Selena had to “grow up” (which she was already attempting to do). Also, both of their pasts where really there and something that both of them had to get over (with each others unknowing help). Cade has pretty much only had people enter her life because of who her parents where. She also had a particular problem that she hadn’t solved – and wasn’t sure it was ever going to happen. While Selena was basically at rock bottom emotionally after her break up with her former art school advisor and overall bad-person.

Now, take those two things, throw in a crazy relative that passed away leaving a sex-toy shop to the both of them and you have one of the craziest AND one of the cutest books I’ve read ever. Satisfaction Guaranteed had me grinning ear to ear as it progressed – knowing that there was going to be a moment when these two beautiful people would finally crash into each others orbit. Then after that happened, the things that were said, done, etc. had me in full on happy sobbing tears. It’s been a while since a book has had me that torn up over what was happening — good or bad!

Lori Prince is genuinely one of my favorite narrators, especially romance narrators. Every time I see her attached to a book I usually pick it up. This was no different, and her narration added to the story like it always does. Her performance was perfect for both Cade and Selena.

If you’re looking for a book that’ll put a smile on your face, look no further than the aptly titled Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Fun

What a fun book, it's full of humor and very enjoyable. As usually narrator Lori Prince did a great job! It's a book that I will go back to listen again and again.

The story made smile the whole time

I read the actual book half way through, and had to listen to my audio version from start to finish first, which is not usual for me. This was a great story and adventure. I think this is the best book I have read yet from this author, and I hope her other stories go audio as well. This was a story you would not think would be written, but it was fresh to read and listen too and provided real-time emotion and drama. I inwardly smiled the whole time I read it and listened to this tory. There was a lot of great humor. it was told from a refreshing point of view where sex, our bodies and toys are real everyday things that no one should be ashamed or embarrassed about. Its okay to agree or disagree and there is no reason to pass judgement. Great story and so much fun to read and listen too. I did go back and reread the story after I got done with the audio. I just love it, great story to escape inot and it was a of of fun.

Satisfied, guaranteed!

This was a quirky, delightful story. The characters were charming and likable; the setting an off-the-wall sex toy shop. I enjoyed this book, which was narrated by rock star Lori Prince. Definitely worth the credit!

Engaging towards the end and good ending

Every one in a while the story was "canned" but mostly really natural and good. The reader was very good. Kept me engaged on a long car drive.

I had a great time listening to it

I simply like it. The story and the narrator. I really recommend it to everyone looking for a good romance story.

Sometimes love requires that you be crazy 🥰

First I want to say that I loved this story. Second, that Lori Prince is the quintessential narrator for any story that requires seriousness mixed with hilarious humor and complex expressions of passion and love.
I was also very disappointed to find that while Kindle offers 8 books by this wonderful author, Audible only has one!! What a shame 🤨🤨🤨.
If you enjoy screwball comedy, mixed with loads of “passion”, along with meaningful messages about the difference between great sex and great love making, self worth, and the value of being both yourself and also being true to yourself, then this is a story for you.
The bonus is that all of these themes are delivered to you by a cast of characters who make the Marks Brothers seem like altar bones.
The next time I feel depressed over something totally unimportant, I will go into my archives and resurrect this book, knowing that it I’ll lift my spirits.
💙💜💛❤️🧡

A different theme

I’m afraid I found this story pretty boring up to about chapter 10. In the last half of the story I became ‘invested’ in finishing and looking forward to what would happen. A slow love development with very interesting sex scenes which were tasteful descriptive but not’too much’ information. Humorous at times.
