How to Read the Always Satisfied Series

Written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely, the Always Satisfied series is a collection of contemporary romances set against the vibrant backdrop of New York City. Because each book follows a different couple and is written as an interconnected standalone, you can comfortably dive into any story without feeling lost. However, reading them in order allows you to fully appreciate the recurring characters, cameos, and timeline details.

Always Satisfied Books in Publication Order

If you want to experience the series exactly as it was released between 2019 and 2020, follow the publication order. This list includes both the full-length novels and the companion novellas that flesh out the couples' backstories:

  1. Delayed Satisfaction (2019) – A prequel novella introducing Sloane and Malone.
  2. Satisfaction Guaranteed (2019) – The official Book 1, focusing on Sloane and Malone's second-chance, forbidden office romance.
  3. Instant Gratification (2019) – A friends-to-lovers romance featuring Jason and Truly.
  4. Delayed Gratification (2019) – A prequel novella to Instant Gratification, showing how Jason and Truly first met.
  5. Never Have I Ever (2019) – An enemies-to-lovers romance between a single-dad divorce attorney (Zach) and a wedding planner (Piper).
  6. Overnight Service (2019) – An enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romance about rival sports agents Josh and Haven.
  7. Special Delivery (2019) – A holiday-themed novella following party planner Quinn and former NFL player Vaughn.
  8. P.S. It's Always Been You (2020) – A second-chance romance about Presley and Hunter, originally released as a three-part serial.

Chronological Order & Pacing Caveats

While the publication order works perfectly, some readers prefer a strictly chronological approach, placing the prequels before their respective main novels. If you choose this route, read Delayed Satisfaction before Satisfaction Guaranteed, and read Delayed Gratification before Instant Gratification.

For the best character development and flow, we recommend sticking close to the publication order. Keep in mind that P.S. It's Always Been You was originally delivered as a multi-part serial but is best read as a single, complete book to enjoy Presley and Hunter's scavenger hunt journey.
