SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

Author: Lucy Monroe ISBN: 0758211783 5/2007 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: Brava

Anytime, anyplace, Ethan Crane's your man. An agent's agent, he’s tough, smart, and fearless. Exactly the guy you want when the stuff hits the fan—and precisely the kind Beth Whitney avoids like the plague. It took a fiancé (make that ex-fiancé) in the business to teach her, but she's learned her lesson: Don't. Date. Agents. Ever. It's this little rule that's kept her gainfully employed at the agency, doing her part for world security from behind a desk. So when a case throws the two together, Beth's determined to keep it strictly professional. So far, so good—except for the steamy kisses, the red-hot phone sex, and...What was that rule again? To Ethan, Beth couldn't be less his type if her father ran the agency, which, oh yeah, her father does run the agency. Still he can't help but be impressed by her inspired work in the field—a total turn on. Off the field it’s even better. Seems the old adage that opposites attract happens to agents too. Even if Beth insists it’s just a fantasy. Hot pursuit of a notorious information broker is what they should focus on—not each other. That can wait until they’ve accomplished a job well done. Or can it?

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Lucy Monroe's new release is a sexy contemporary called SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. It's the first book in a new series about special agents. If the other books are going to be as hot as SATISFACTION GUARANTEED, then I am already waiting at the bookstore for the next one to be released!

Lucy Monroe is such a versatile author. I love her paranormals, her historicals are wonderful and her contemporaries are just as good. She has a gift for writing incredibly hot sex scenes! Let me say that the sex scenes in SATISFACTION GUARANTEED are scorching! Frankly, I wouldn't want them any other way, coming from a Lucy Monroe book.

Although I have to admit that SATISFACTION GUARANTEED isn't my favorite book by Ms. Monroe, it is a still a good read. The sexual tension between Beth and Ethan is intense! The two of them are great characters and definitely carry this story. Beth is such a sweet woman who has been hurt very badly in the past and has to learn to trust her heart again, while Ethan is just discovering that maybe being married and having a family isn't so bad after all. Since they're working in very close proximity with each other, Beth and Ethan find out some pretty interesting things about each other!

There is a secondary storyline to SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. I have to admit that I didn't pay too much attention to it. I focused primarily on the two characters and how they were going to achieve the famed "happily-ever-after" at the end of the story.

If you're a fan of Lucy Monroe, like I am, than definitely place SATISFACTION GUARANTEED on your to be read pile. Even if you're not, I think you'll enjoy this fast-paced sexy contemporary romance!
