I really enjoyed the sex positive message this book had; it isn't something to shy away from or be ashamed of. I also enjoyed the bohemian lifestyle of Cade's parents, almost wishing they were more present in the book. I can see why they weren't, though, given Selena basically filled their free-spirited role while they weren't present. As a personal critique I've never enjoyed when characters do the "I really like them but they could never like me" trope. It's just not one that I enjoy so that seemed to pull me out of the story a bit but overall I loved the relationship Selena and Cade built together and how it worked out in the end. I especially loved that Cade did not exert her influence in the art world during Selena's auction. That Selena got the validation for her artwork that she deserved from the money raised was awesome.

Satisfaction Guaranteed is the story of two unlikely business partners attempting to save a sex toy store left to them by the deceased owner. Cade, niece of Ruth, is the black sheep of her family, liking order and plans while everyone else is a free spirit. Selena, an ex-painter, lives with Ruth and works in her store until she passes. Now the girls must work together to try to save the store and house, while also keeping their relationship professional.
OMG!! I loved this book! It was funny and sexy, provided education through the story, and a wlw story with amazing sex positivity!
An adult contemporary romance, Satisfaction Guaranteed is everything you want in an adult romance! I was so sad to see it end! The book contains romance, steamy scenes, great characters, and an interesting setting! Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to any romance readers and especially anyone looking for some good wlw rep!
The characters in this book were awesome! I loved how different they were yet how much they fit together both physically and in personality. I loved that the book allowed space for self discovery without being a coming out story. I also loved the representation of someone not experienced with self pleasure and climaxing as compared to an “expert” who enjoyed the role of “teacher.” The characters were also so healthy! You miss that when you read so many ya/mg books! I loved the maturity, with the dose of self doubt that we all feel as new lesbians, people with new partners, or just in general when having sex.
I loved the story’s inclusion of wlw sex! The sex scenes and all of the discussions about people with vulvas were realistic and educational. It was so refreshing to see wlw sex in a positive light and the characters even highlighted the lack of education for people with vulvas and their own self pleasure. I also enjoyed the taste of slow burn, typically I do not like slow burns but the book moves quickly and only burned slow for a little bit.
My only critique would be that although the book tries to center the store as all inclusive, the characters could have been more diverse.
