Welcome to The Capture Agency, a fantasy dating service for dominant men who know what they like and how they like it, and women who can handle limitless pleasure.

Kane Woods, a man of superior size and strength who's always had to reign in his desires--until now. And Gage Michael, who learns that his ex is using the service…and decides to capture her.

I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. This author is usually a hit or miss for me. This one was a very big hit! Satisfaction Guaranteed is a 3 story anthology. I thought that all stories in this book was good...which is a rare occurance in my opinion.
The Capture agency is a dating service where women can be "captured" by dominant men and given endless pleasure. I thought all of the heroes were very strong, likable heroes who went after their women with a determination I definately appreciated.
If you are offended by strong language or explict sexual interactions, well this book is NOT for you. There is some light BDSM, but nothing to cringe about...lol

Want to be whisked away by a pirate? Want an alpha man to pursue, capture and fuck you silly? If so, this book won't do it for you. I want my money back. I was left unsatisfied and mildly disgusted with the three pathetic women in this anthology.
First, I want to commend Ms. Teglia on a good concept. The Capture Agency is a pretty great idea. The set up was good. Her writing style flowed. There were some holes and inconsistencies, but they were really minor and most women reading this won't care.
Second, I recommend this book for women who need a man to complete them. This is a good book for someone who is searching for Mr. Right and perhaps feel their Mr. Right Now just isn't good enough. I recommend this book for women who enjoy slightly kinky sex and think that it's terribly dirty and deviant for handcuffs to be involved.
Third, I do NOT recommend this to any person who is expecting BDSM sex or any type of capture/pursuit story. This is a flat out romance novel with vanilla sex scenes. The sex scenes will be a severe disappointment for those into kink and BDSM. Just skip/skim over the sex scenes. It won't be worth your time.
Hard Match - ☆☆
My name is Rachel. I'm a single female who's the top at my company but I have sexual hang ups and I need a man who is at least as smart as me or smarter. I'm a card carrying Mensa member with an IQ of 130. I need a man who can keep up with me but there are less than 2% who can qualify in the general population. I'm blonde so I should have more fun than you dull brunettes.
Right...after reading about Rachel's lack of fun and meaning in her life, all I could think of was... narcissistic much? I doubt Ms. Teglia meant it that way. Still, I didn't like Rachel and felt no connection with her. Chase could do better. He's "perfect". Personally, I thought Chase was a pussy. It's more likely for Rachel to take a strap-on to his ass.
Perfect Stranger - ☆☆
My name is Sabrina. Men who I'm interested in can't handle my deviant role playing desires. I'm sexy, a brunette and I can't trust a guy to meet my conflicting needs. Guys who give great sex can't be interesting to me for a relationship because everyone knows, great sex and a relationship don't mix.
Are there really women out there like this? Geesh, if I were a guy, I'd stay the hell away from Sabrina who is a sneaky, boring coward. Seriously, she decides to snoop where she's been told not to and instead of asking for clarification, she runs away. Talk about a wuss. Her idea of deviant sex... I tried not to laugh. If that is deviant sex, then I worry what the definition is for normal boring sex.
Kane, if a woman goes through your stuff and jumps to conclusions, I'd drop her. She's going to be one of those high maintenance women who turn into psychotic harpies. I can just see 15 years down the road, she'll think he's cheating on her and rather than talk it over, she's going to go all Fatal Attraction on him. Kane, R.U.N now. Save yourself.
Perfect Stranger - ☆
This one just confused me. Did Emma really not know it was her husband Greg or was it just a game? Then I thought about it, do I really care? Once again, a comedy of miscommunication creates a conflict that is ludicrous for me. Emma, if you can take the word of some woman over your 15 years experience with your husband, you deserve it. What a dumb cunt. That's what I think of her. Shallow, insecure, juvenile and petty all describe her well. She didn't come across as the wronged wife. She came across as just plain stupid and pathetic. Greg, grow a pair. I guess the two of you deserve each other. The sex scenes was supposed to be all spiced up now that they are rekindling their love. Um, right. Wow, their sex before this must have been like fucking the dead. Wait, that is more kinky than what they did before.
I left this as a 2 star because it was 2 to 1. I was pretty disappointed in this story and now I know why it could be borrowed from the library. It wasn't anything deviant, sexy or kinky. Just an anthology of 3 women who have issues and believe Mr. Right in their life will fix it all.

This is a 4.5 for me - very hot and good stories! The only thing I will say is the description is a LITTLE misleading. I was expecting these stories to be more about men dominating women, but it really isn't. Which is fine, and don't get me wrong, these men and sex are TOTALLY hot. Buuuuuuut, if you're looking for something in the domination genre, don't expect it from this book. It's more about men who know what they want and take it. These men are hot, and I would take all of them to bed if I could!

3 stories, 3 scenarios. Three stong women looking to be 'captured' and cherished. Three alpha males looking to fulfill their fantasies as well and winding up wanting more than just the fantasy. Well done!!

Cute book with three stories that seem to all occur at the same time period. They are:
1. Hard Match
2. The Perfect Stranger
3. Ex Marks the Spot
(my favorite)
Nice characters, uncomplicated and HOT. Easy to read.

Erotic scenes were pretty good, but I’d prefer more emotional pull.
This book contains the following 3 stories about 3 women who work together for an insurance agency. Sabrina tells Rachel and Emma about a matchmaking agency called the Capture Agency. A computer program finds matches for people, primarily for women who want to be “captured” and dominated in the bedroom.
3 stars for HARD MATCH.
Rachel almost never dates because her career is her focus. She has a high IQ. One of her requirements is a man with a similar or higher IQ. Chase founded the agency when he developed the computer software. His assistant tells him they can’t find a match for Rachel because of her high IQ. Chase is the only one who would fit her requirements, but Chase doesn’t want to be matched. Chase plans to tell her they will refund her money, but when he meets her, he is drawn to her and decides to be her date.
3 stars for PERFECT STRANGER.
Sabrina has had a fantasy for a long time of herself being captured by a pirate. When she expresses a desire to role play or be kinky, her boyfriends break up with her. Kane is an author of romance novels and other fiction. His agent suggests he use the Capture Agency to experiment sexually which might help him with his writing. With his writing talent, he is a natural for making up stories and games, to the delight of Sabrina. He lives on a boat. When he and Sabrina first meet, he actually says with a wink “Arrrrrr” in his best pirate voice.
2 stars for EX MARKS THE SPOT.
Emma believes her husband Gage had an affair with his assistant, so Emma moves out of the house. Gage overhears Emma planning to try the Capture Agency. Emma thinks she is unsexy and unskilled in the bedroom and hopes a night with a stranger dominating her might help. Gage makes sure he is the stranger assigned to her. He tells her to arrive at a certain hotel room and to put on a blindfold before she opens the door to the room.
REVIEWER’S OPINION FOR ALL 3 STORIES:
For the first two stories, the erotic scenes were pretty good and worthwhile reading. The plot and characters were ok. For the third story, I found myself skimming the sex scenes and wanting it to be over. For all three stories I would have liked to be pulled in a little more emotionally. This might be solved by spending more time on character development and fun to read conversation.
DATA FOR ALL 3 STORIES:
Story length: 289 pages. Sexual language: strong/erotic with rear door activity and hand cuffs. Number of sex scenes: 14. Total number of sex scene pages: 98. Setting: current day Seattle, Washington area. Genre: erotic contemporary romance.

So, I read this book in its entirety when it first came out - the first two novellas are ok - good, but the third, "Ex Marks the Spot" is one of my MOST FAVORITE novellas/stories in all of romanceland.
I love it. I tell the author regularly.
I wish she wrote more like it.
The 4 stars is because the other stories are just c-ish reads to me but the last is A+++
Even KNOWING exactly EVERYTHING that happens, parts still make me tear up, and gosh - I wish there were more romances and stories like that one.
Love. It.
B
2019: TBH I really only ever bother re-reading Ex Marks the Spot. I still quite like it although - I mean there's recovery and disappointment and other shit and reading at like 5 AM after being up for 20 hours so ... I liked not loved it. Won't mess with the score/rating though today.

This book is about 3 women and their experiences using an alternative dating agency. The Capture Agency matches people up who have unusual sexual preferences, while sex is not a guarantee, the agency matches those with compatible wants. Two of the women can't seem to find they type of man that will let them play with their fantasies. In fact one woman broached it with her boyfriend, only to have him leave immediately. The last woman feels this agency would be the best middle ground for her, having just found out her husband is cheating on her. She can broach sex in a safe environment.
The first 2 stories were funny and very hot, the last one, not so much. Emma had so many issues it was surprising that she could let go.
Overall a fun book to read!

This is a collection of 3 soft-core erotica stories build around the premise of a dating agency that carefully screens and matches up clients for kinky sex. All three are happily-ever-after love story connections where the early part of the relationship is fantastic dream sex. The "kinky" side is really not kinky at all, just simple role playing. If you like contemporary romance for the sex scenes, this might be a good choice for you.

This book is very good and very hot. 3 different stories about 3 coworking women that decide to use a special "love-slave type fantasy" dating service. The dates have to capture their woman when they least expect it and then take them away for their "adventures". Really like the story with owner Chase (who doesn't date his clients) and the story of Gage who becomes the blind date to his ex wife that he never quit loving.

I have enjoyed reading Ms. Teglia's books. I've noticed recently that the writing patterns are similar in each book, but really, does it matter? I liked this book a lot except for the last story... it was fine, but it wasn't as good as the other two. I wish that she had maybe put the third story in the middle so that Sabrina's story (which I liked best) was the last. Oh - well! I enjoyed it anyway...
May 25, 2009
well, i dont really like this book.. or maybe the author.. idk.. the plot doesnt seem to expand and the storyline is all about sexual pleasure.. for those who crave for something erotic, this is the best book to read, but for those who searching for something beyond sex, i wont recommend satisfaction guaranteed..

Loved this book. Three stories in one. Three girlfriends decide to go to a fantasy dating agency to find men for sex and romance. I especially liked the last story about Emma who reunited with her estranged husband. It was beautifully written.
