A delightful romance, Satisfaction Guaranteed is about a workaholic accountant who needs a man, or at least the is the story according to her well-laid-out life plan.

The problem is, she’s been so busy working her way up the career ladder, she wouldn’t spot Mr. Right even if he were carrying a neon sign. So, being an organized businesswoman, she comes up with a strategy. She’ll hire a man to provide her with a variety of experiences. That way, she’ll know what she wants. It’s just that easy, right?

This book is the first book I have read from this author. It was quite enjoyable and I would welcome to read future works from her.

A great story that was a lot of fun to read. Seriously steamy. Quite a few laugh-out-loud moments blended nicely with the tension of various types. A great beach read.

Thank you to NetGalley, Riverdale Avenue Books, and Isabelle Drake for giving me the chance to read this story and share my honest thoughts and opinions with others about it.

Publisher note: holy typos!

I didn't enjoy the writing style of this book and didn't find the characters to be compelling. Definite let down.

Mistaken identity, workaholics, the need to find love! This book has it all. Plus a little steam and real life issues. I really enjoyed this book. The cover does not do it justice.

Ironic humor to observe this sweet story. Truly brightened my day. Just the perfect blend of steamy and storyline. Easy to see happening in real life.

Elizabeth is a hardworking accountant. Jack is an attorney who has had it with the 'always win no matter what' world. Mistaking his office for an escort service, she hires him to find her perfect man.

I am glad I read this book though, although steamier than I had both anticipated and would normally read. I found the characters likeable, the story line was good and overall I enjoyed the book.

I received a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review. first off I didn't initially realise that this was a rerelease. that being said this book was okay. Elizabeth is a hard working career woman who decides to hire an escort so she can figure out what kind of man she likes (okay sure sounds like a great plan). however, she ends up in the work office and propositions a lawyer instead who of course goes along with it. the story was okay, several mistakes that an editor should have caught but more importantly the ending was way to abrupt and incomplete.

I really liked the new cover. I checked the old one out on Goodreads and it was very generic and drab.
The premise of the story was interesting. A workaholic accountant decides to take her love life in her hands and find out what exactly she wants from her dream man. To do that she hires a male escort. Only, Elizabeth walks into a wrong office and unwittingly meets a young attractive lawyer who just happens to be quite enthusiastic about playing out every fantasy of hers.
I found myself constantly arguing with the characters in the book, which can mean only one thing: they are engaging and on some level relatable. I do believe that there is nothing wrong with wanting a marriage and being focused on your goals. I also think a lot of people fantasize about ‘a safe stranger’, but the way Elizabeth went about it was confusing and inconsistent. I liked the way we get to see the work she does and the forensic side of accounting. My biggest problem was Jack and his problematic ethics both personal and professional. I just didn’t buy into ‘he couldn’t have told her because of the case’. The topic of sexual harassment is really important and it could have been dealt with in a better way.
Overall, this is not an innocent girl-meets-boy chicklit. This is hot, steamy, raunchy romance with some explicit scenes and work-related plotlines.
Thank you to NetGalley and Riverdale Avenue Books for the Arc provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

This was hot hot hot - I was not expecting there to be so much steam. The second half was riddled with typos though, so I hope those are fixed by the time it co.es out.

I started reading this book thinking it was going to be a typical guy meets girl story, following along with their romance; observing any ups and downs within their blossoming relationship. This book however is far from typical and it is a lot raunchier than expected.

I rooted for Jack & Elizabeth the entire way through this book, hoping that their chemistry would result in them finding a perfect relationship with each other.

The story is told with split perspectives; so you get to see things from both characters point of view and you get to hear what both parties are thinking. This is one of my favourite parts of the book, because you can see how the two characters truly feel, rather than relying on solely their actions/words as described by the other person.

I personally would have liked an extra chapter or two, or even an epilogue to cover what happens next for Jack & Elizabeth, but overall a really good read, definitely worth four stars.

Thanks to NetGalley For providing me With an E-copy in Exchange for an honest review .

This was actually a good read , I liked the story line , although it was too fast-paced for my liking ( would have liked to now more about the background of the characters before their first meeting ).

Elizabeth was a good heroine , I liked her scenes while she was doing her job ( she is an incredible and very successful accountant, ( really interesting ) ) , her personality was good too , I liked her character's development .

On the other hand , we have Jack " the lead male character "( a new relocated attorney who decided to play an escort for Elizabeth" because he is attracted to her " ) , I actually wasn't a fan of him , as much as I tried I didn't found him charming .

The plot was interesting , predictable but a funny romantic read anyway , really thankful for having the chance to read it .

The author's writing style is really good , I liked her descriptions of the characters and their feelings .


For the fans of The kiss Quotient and Pretty Women , this one is for you .

P.s : the cartoonish cover of the book that NetGalley send me is more interesting than this one :P

Not my usual style of book- steamier than I had initially anticipated based on the cover.

A good read with likeable characters and a good story.

This was a super fun, sexy read. I could have easily enjoyed another hundred pages. The characters are well written and I loved the development and flow of the story.

This book I found on Netgalley has a much different cover. I also found out that it was originally released ten years ago. The female character Elizabeth Sewell is an accountant and is a person that has her life on a plan. She has everything working so far and she is looking at making partner in the firm if she can land this one account. What she does not have is a man or any type of love life. She feels she has no game, she cannot flirt. So Elizabeth does what she thinks would solve the problem and that is, she decides to hire a male escort. When she arrives at the office she finds a man named Jack Harley. They hit it off right away and he tells her he will pick her up that night. He arrives later on his Harley and she finds herself actually excited. The night goes better than she thought. What she does not know is that Jack is not an escort but an attorney who has relocated and did not have any information on his door. The story takes off between them and of course, comes to a point when she finds out the truth when she goes to court with a friend. Can she really now walk away from what she was actually looking for at the beginning? It appears so. Read this fun story to see what happens.

Unfortunely this book was not for me. I felt the story line was weak and it didn't hold my interest.

This is Elizabeth and Jack’s book, Elizabeth is a workaholic accountant and she know she needs a man and it’s definitely time to find Mr. right the problem is she’s so busy working her way up the ladder she couldn’t spot Mr. right if he was right in front of her face so she comes up with a strategy she’ll hire a man to provide her with enough experiences tha will show her just what type of guy to look for easy right? Jack is an attorney he just left a high status firm and he’s going out on his own in private practice, when a sexy brunette walks into his office and mistakes his new office for the recently relocated escort service he sees this as a good opportunity and hey she’s hot why not?! Lol this book was OK it was funny and had some steam to it there was something missing for me I don’t know, it was good It just wasn’t my top favorite. Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me.

The story of Elizabeth and Jack. A case of mistaken identity when she makes him an offer thinking he is a male escort. He doesn't put her right as her wants to take her out on a date, but then the longer he keeps the truth from her, the more difficult it is to tell her.

I liked how it is told from both of their points of view.

An entertaining read!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Ok so full disclosure; I would not have requested this book if this image had been the title page. The one of Netgalley was cartoonish and seemed a bit more chick lit style.

BUT I’m glad I did read it. It was more steamy than I anticipated, but nothing wrong with that. I liked Elizabeth as a character - although her constant daydreaming, even when her friends are saying something important bugged me a bit. I felt the character of Jack could have been developed more but the female characters were interesting.

The storyline was a hit too - I’ve enjoyed books like The Kiss Quotient recently and this out even more of a spin on the whole Pretty Woman storyline. I found myself invested in Elizabeth’s job, especially when she was trying to land a client she desperately needed to prove her worth.

Overall a good read and while I wouldn’t usually go for this kind of book (especially based on this photographic cover), I’m glad I had a chance to give it a go!
