I really enjoyed the very original and entertaining, Satisfaction Guaranteed. This is the first time I've experienced singing in my audiobook listening and I quite enjoyed it. My advice, though is to get your speed right. If you're like me and have your speed set at 1.65 - 1.75 or faster, the background music will not be in sync. My first thoughts were that he was purposely playing the piano bad as part of the storyline. But the punchline never came. This had me stopping and wondering and I eventually slowed it down to 1. Holy shamoly...their talking was so slow that if I had to listen to a whole story at that speed, I'd fall asleep.
Normally, I wouldn't like a storyline where the hero or heroine put their career before love. In this case, I got it. He was a young guy with a budding career, a dream to fulfil, and a passion to be the best veterinarian he could be. Yes, he knew there were sparks and a very deep connection, but he also knew that if the time was right, he could find her. Their time was finally RIGHT NOW!
Another original was that this story was more about the hero than the heroine. Again, normally I would struggle with this as I like to "play the part" of the heroine. We still get the heroines thoughts and feelings but it was snippets like we would normally get for the hero. Like a romance reversal.
I thoroughly enjoyed Satisfaction Guaranteed but one of the epilogues was a little too cheesy for me. The singing was fantastic and Jason Clarke has an amazing voice, but the cheesy dialogue in between made me roll my eyes just a wee bit.
Lauren Blakely is one of my favourite authors and I absolutely LOVE her stories in audiobook form. I will definitely be back for more.
