Ashley’s Review
I really enjoyed this sapphic, opposites-attract rom com. It was funny, awkward at times, heartfelt, and lovely.
In this original story, Cade Elgin is part owner and main operator of the renowned Elgin Art Gallery. Thrust into her career at an early age, business mode has become her default. She's all work and no play. She's been intimate with very few women (as most seem interested in her for her career and what she can do for theirs) and has never experienced an orgasm. So it's a bit ironic that she inherits a sex toy shop in Portland when her aunt passes away. But she doesn't inherit it alone. Her new co-owner is free-spirited artist Selena Mathis who has taken a vow of celibacy. Can the two avoid temptation as they work together to save Satisfaction Guaranteed?
I enjoyed this story's Portland setting, the art scene, and the attention to detail (including that LEED certification reference.) But most of all, I enjoyed Cade, Selena and their cast of supporting characters. I hope the author writes more stories in this world.
Blurb
For fans of Casey McQuiston and Abby Jimenez comes a bold, hilarious, and out-of-the-box novel about mixing business with battery-operated pleasure . . .
When it comes to her career, Cade Elgin has it all figured out. Only “professional talk” has become her default mode, relationships are nonexistent, and don't even mention the word “orgasm.” All work and no play makes Cade a dull human. But when she inherits a sex toy store, Cade is caught between business and a store filled with every imaginable kind of pleasure—including her infuriatingly irresponsible and deliciously sexy new co-owner.
Selena Mathis learned the hard way that she can have too much of a good thing. Which is precisely why she's taken an oath of celibacy and is focusing on how to make Satisfaction Guaranteed a success. She won't mess this up. Not this time. But once again, Selena's emotions are getting in the way, and tempting her with a serious attraction to buttoned-up Cade.
But the shop isn't exactly vibe-ing, and Cade and Selena are on the verge of losing both their income and the possibility of love. Can they find a way to work together . . . before Satisfaction Guaranteed runs out of batteries?
