Satisfaction Guaranteed is a cute, sexy, and fun short story. I ended the book with a smile on my face.

Enjoyable friends to lovers story! Very sweet with pretty good character depth, sensual and sizzling, but not erotic with a nice set-up involving secondary characters for the next book. I know it was a short story, but I wish it had a little more of a complete ending. I'm definitely going to read the next one though.

This review will follow the I-Review format aka Question and Answer format.
You: What made you pick up Satisfaction Guaranteed by Tori Scott?
MBR: It was quite by chance that I stumbled upon Satisfaction Guaranteed by Tori Scott. I follow author MJ Fredrick on Twitter and it was she who tweeted about this novella which caught my eye, and seeing that it was for just 0.99 $, of course me being me, I just had to buy it.
You: Tell us a little bit about the hero Grayson Montgomery.
MBR: Successful in his own right, Grayson has just turned 30 years old and is biding his time until the woman he loves turns 30 so that he can take her up on the promise that she made to him 15 years ago, before she left town and broke his heart.
You: Now tell us a little bit about the heroine Caramia Kensington.
MBR: Caramia is the owner of Satisfaction Guaranteed and is going to turn 30 years old when the clock strikes the midnight hour. She is ambitious and always had been and had turnd her back on what Grayson had offered when they were fifteen years old because her ambitions didn't feature her married, pregnant and barefoot before her teens were through.
You: How does Caramia and Grayson meet for the first time?
MBR: Caramia and Grayson both grow up together going to the same school. There is no particular mention in the book of how they meet for the first time.
You: What was it that drew you into the story with Satisfaction Guaranteed?
MBR: I found myself really fascinated with the secondary story that was taking place as I read along. The desire that the poor preacher's daughter feels for the rich man whose childhood had been far from ideal makes for a very interesting premise and I couldn't get enough of both Regina Baker and Sam Hyatt as I delved deeper into the story.
You: What was it that you liked about Satisfaction Guaranteed?
MBR: I liked the fact that Tori Scott did a pretty decent job of developing her characters and built up the sensual vibe between Grayson and Caramia before plunging them both into the physical aspect of their relationship. It made the connection between them more endearing and realistic to me.
And of course, I absolutely loved the tidbits of Sam and Regina's shared childhood that were brought into the story. They definitely have a story that is worth telling and am glad that the sequel to this entitled Perfectly Satisfied is going to quench my thirst for their story.
You: Is there anything you would want done differently in Satisfaction Guaranteed?
MBR: Not really. I felt that Tori Scott has done a fairly good job out of telling a well rounded story in such a limited number of pages and it worked for me.
You: Any memorable quotes/scenes from the story you would like to share?
MBR: I liked the bits where Grayson seemed totally in tune with Caramia so much that he knows exactly the stuff she's made out of and gently draws her into his circle of love that in the end Caramia found as irresistible as I found it to be.
You: Who would you recommend Satisfaction Guaranteed to?
MBR: Satisfaction Guaranteed is great for a quick read in between those emotionally draining novels. A novella that flows smoothly and leaves you begging for more. Recommended for fans of novellas and fans of reunion romances.
Rating=4/5

BRIEF SUMMARY
Caramia owns Satisfaction Guaranteed. Her business prepares the most romantic seductive scenes for men who can afford it for their women. While finish preparing one of her scenes for her next client she is surprise to see Grayson her old childhood crush. Grayson is back for Caramia so he can collect on a promise made fifteen years ago. If both are single at thirty they would have sex. Caramia never took the promise seriously.
THOUGHTS ( May contain spoilers)
This book is a novella but it came packed with satisfaction guaranteed for the reader that will not disappoint. I loved what the author did by giving us one story while teasing us with another. A clever way to draw the reader in. Although the story is about Caramia and Grayson we got a teaser of Sam and Regina. The book follows four childhood friends who has crushes on each other. The first chapter sets the pace for the story as the author dove in and entertain us the moment the scene starts. Grayson was sexy and sweet and Caramia was enjoyable to read about. As the story progress we got teasers with scenes of Sam, the very rich and clueless playboy and Regina hard working regular girl who has always had a thing for Sam. I eagerly await book 2.
Story: GOOD
Intimacy: SWEET
Enjoyment: GOOD

First book in new-to-me-author Tori Scott's Satisfaction Series. To be clear, these are short novella type stories. The characters have grown up together, gone their separate ways although always remaining in contact with one another. The first book tells the story of Gray, who has loved Caramia forever it seems. When he pushes her a bit too hard, she pulls away and tells him she wants more than a teenage pregnancy and forced marriage. They make a promise to each other, one Cara doesn't take seriously until Gray shows up ready to fulfill the promise of long ago. It is such a sweet, tender and sizzling romance. The interaction between the characters is a highlight of the book. I'm looking forward to the next book that takes up where this one leaves off, PERFECTLY SATISFIED. If you're looking for a quick, delightfully sexy and fun read, give Tori Scott's "Satisfaction Guaranteed" a look.

This was a new author for me. This was a quick good read. Can't wait to read the sequel.
September 13, 2011
I enjoyed this short novella. It has romance and sensuality, the characters are likable and it's one of those feel good type stories. Gray has loved Caramia for 15 years and the time has come for him to make her his for good. The man is darn romantic and I just want to eat him with a spoon hahaha! The sex scenes are pretty mild but I believe it is to follow the romantic feel of the story rather than jumping into hot, wild monkey sex which probably wouldn't have carried the same feel if she would have went that route. There is also a secondary romance involving Reggie and Sam, close friends of the 2 main characters. I look forward to seeing where that relationship will go and thankfully I'll be able to in the upcoming release "Perfectly Satisfied". I am hoping this next book not only walks us through Reggie and Sam's story but also wraps up the loose ends with Gray and Cara. We shall see but until then I say buy this book and sit back and enjoy ;)

Actually 4 1/2 stars!
Tori Scott’s SATISFACTION GUANTEED is a wonderful story that pushes all of my romance buttons. Cara sets romantic scenes of seduction in hotel rooms, homes, wherever her client wishes to make a visual amorous statement.
In this case, she was hired by a wealthy childhood friend, Sam, to set the scene for a tender, wicked night of passion in a hotel room. Little does she know he was the shield for another childhood friend who has always loved Cara. Gray intends to not only make good on a promise to have sex with Cara but also show her he is in it for a lifetime, if she will have him. Ms. Scott writes great seduction scenes that draw you in and make you part of the story.

Woo-Hoo this man figured his woman out!
It finally hit him. What Cara wanted wasn’t the fancy trappings of candlelight and wine. She wanted romance. She wanted to feel like the most important woman in a man’s life, to know he cared enough to spare nothing to make her happy. He might only have twenty-four hours to give her that romance, but he would do his level best.
"Cara, I'm not going anywhere. I've waited years to get you back again, and I'm not letting you go." She looked into his eyes. He could only hope the truth of his feelings were reflected there. He moved up and over her in one fluid movement. He took her mouth and her body simultaneously. It was too soon to tell her he loved her, but he could damn well show her. He poured every ounce of emotion into his lovemaking, telling her with his mouth, his hands, his eyes just how much he cared. He held himself tightly in check, giving her time to reach the same level of passion before he took them both over the edge.

Cute...sexy..and a lot of fun to read. I guess it only goes to show that one: never waste time. You won't. Know if something or some are meant to be unless you try. Two:sometimes the best thongs in life are worth the wait. I smiled with the wonderful ending and went w bought the next book on this trilogy before I even wrote this review. EXCELLENT READ. .....I revommend
BEWARE: READ KNLY IF YOU CAN HANDLE..HAPPINESS AND LOTS OF SMILING.

Decent love story book for sure. Readers who like romance novels will like it. Those who don't (like me) will find it tolerable/interesting/okay to read...I obviously didn't mind it too much that I read both of them, lol :)
September 10, 2013
Though the story was short, Tori Scott does a great job making characters that stand out. The two couples have their share of issues to resolve before they get their happily ever after. I would recommend this short story to others.

Wow! The way Gray romances Cara in this story is enough to give me goosebumps all over! They waited 15 years for this moment and, man, was it worth it! I can't wait to read the next book in the series which, entirely by coincidence, I already have downloaded! Thank you Tori!

Surprisingly fun and sweet story! Total smut, of course, but I was blown away at how much I enjoyed this story of where things don't go as the main character had planned and she's taken totally by surprise. <3 Very sweet and very romantic!!
December 26, 2011
I'm on the fence about this book. It's really short and lacks much of a story line, it's like the beginning and ending of a regular book. That said, it was good for a novella.

Ummm...what's with all the four and five star reviews. I could understand maybe a two, and I know this might sound mean, but seriously.

Way too short for me! I was getting invested in the characters and the steam and then it ended.

Short but I really enjoyed it. Straight to the point and pretty steamy as well.

This was such a romantic, short read. I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see what happens to Grey, Cara, Sam, and Reggie.

I liked the writing and the characters. I only wish more focus was put on the main characters instead of 1/3 of the story revolving around others.
