I have never read a sapphic romcom before and it seriously needs to be more popular. This is a sex-positive romp that touches on topics like imposter syndrome and abusive relationships, all while promoting an organic fake dating romance. The sense of community and steam in this book won't leave you wanting more... Satisfaction guaranteed.

This book had some real funny moments! It was cute and the opening of her aunt's funeral is surprisingly hilarious and lets you immediately know what you're getting into. It has an opposites attract dynamic that gets inside both heroine's heads (I always love a dual POV).
3.5 stars
The audiobook is okay, but the narrator does an oddly deep voice for Cade and also pronounces Cade like Cate (or at least that's how it sounded for me at 2x).

Satisfaction Guaranteed is such a unique book. The storyline was a new one for me and I loved it!! I was rooting for the main characters the entire time and I loved the shop and all the classes. The characters could not be more different and it worked perfectly for the banter and tension

I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to read this book. It's always fun to read books set in places I know and love, but the Portland setting here was extra special. I laughed out loud at some of the rainy weather references. (We really do rejoice in dry, grey days in winter.) And the Keep Portland Weird vibe is absolutely part of what makes this city.
Cade inherits a Portland-based sex toy shop from her aunt, and with it, Selena as a business partner. But the shop, Satisfaction Guaranteed, is in bad shape, and they only have a month to make it profitable.
This book is so beautiful and defies a lot of potential stereotypes. Selena teaches sex ed at the store, and that positivity pervades the book. Cade has never felt she fits in her family. Their relationship is so special, as they see the best in each other.
I also really loved all of the side characters, both in Portland and Cade's friend Amy in New York. They created an excellent and supportive community.

Had a fuckin blast with this one. Great gay sex scenes. Incredibly horny but also a riot. Exactly what I was hoping for when I picked up a romance novel about a sex store.

Thank you so much for letting me read and review! I really appreciated the sex positivity in this book, and the characters were so easy to like. I rated this 3.5/5 stars. Sometimes the plot jumped around a little bit and wasn’t super smooth, but I still enjoyed it.
