Praise for
Hot Boyz
"Marissa's 'BOYZ' turns up
the heat in this fast paced novel about family, relationships
and getting some love. It's hot, intelligent and hard to
put down."
Nina Foxx, author of "Get Some Love"
"HOT BOYZ is hot, hot, hot!"
Evelyn Palfrey, author of "The Price of Passion"
"It’s the kind of book that
you'll want to read with a friend so that you can call
her up and say, 'Girl, can you believe that!' With her
twisting phrases, and appreciation for the writing craft,
Monteilh is on the verge of becoming one of the premiere
story-tellers of this new renaissance.”
Victoria Christopher Murray, for Quarterly Black Review
"A classic Los Angeles novel,
HOT BOYZ is erotic, funny, and a contemporary page-turner
-- Marissa's most ambitious work yet."
Cydney Rax, for Book-Remarks.com

Praise for THE CHOCOLATE SHIP
“Hot chocolate! A sassy, spicy feast
for the spirit . . . when that spirit is heat-seeking and
ready for any adventure.” BookPage Reviews
“Marissa Monteilh has a definite way
with characters. They are fully developed creations who readers
will think of as real beings for the length of the story.”
A Romance Review
“If you're easily put to the blush,
the dark, semi-sweet, provocative prose of Marissa Monteilh's
soulful, swingin' novel, The Chocolate Ship, will scald and
scandalize you. Ms. Monteilh's crisp, clean prose in The Chocolate
Ship is spicy, sleek, and thoroughly modern in attitude and
style. This is a novel to tease and titillate, to "get
your freak on" while showcasing the brash, coy, diva-like
stylings of an author to reckon with.” Heartstrings
(C.L. Jeffries)
“Monteilh’s sophomore novel
is an excellent follow-up to her debut novel, May-December
Souls. The Chocolate Ship is a good read and a definite page-turner.
There’s more drama in this novel than on the most popular
daytime soap opera.” Romance in Color
Praise
for MAY DECEMBER SOULS
“Monteilh has written an emotionally
charged novel about life and the reverse stereotype of an
older woman involved with a younger man. This will definitely
be a hit for this first-time author.” Booklist
“Emotionally compelling! The voice
of May December Souls is what knocks you over the most. May
December Souls is a recommended read; it's a contemporary
novel that will make you laugh, make you feel, and make you
think.” BookRemarks.com
“A great book that touched my soul.
. . . A great novel with rich characters. This story touches
the heart because it's not just a love story but it's a human
story as well.” The Circle of Friends Book Club
“Love has no age boundaries. Marissa
Monteilh has an interesting writing style and those that can
appreciate a little humor mixed with a reality check will
truly enjoy the novel. I look forward to her next effort.”
Rawsistaz Reviewers (Zane)
“May December Souls is a coming-of-age
romance as well as a great road map on how to explore oneself,
apart from showing the love between a man and a woman. Don't
write off unconventional love until you've tried it! It also
demonstrates how romance reflects the great worth of a woman.”
