Dr. Feelgood

Dr. Feelgood #1

by Marissa Monteilh

From the author of MAKE ME HOT comes a steamy tale of a popular heart surgeon and his four women, told in their own voices. They call him Dr. Feelgood . . . One woman would never be enough to satisfy noted cardiologist Dr. Makkai Worthy, better known by his sex partners as Dr. Feelgood. Womanizer extraordinaire, he's a chip off the old block of his rolling-stone papa and commitment isn't an option. At 37 and single, he's happier than he's ever been, living the lifestyle of the rich and fine. A gifted surgeon, Dr. Feelgood knows how to operate in the O.R. by day. But by night, it's his smooth operations in the bedroom that are driving his four main squeezes crazy. First, there's demanding-diva Georgia. She's bound and determined to be the doctor's one and only until suspicions arise that she's keeping something on the down low. Mary Jane is a sweetheart of a nurse who works in Dr. Feelgood's cardiology unit. He tries to stay hands off, until a player friend starts to make a move and he's forced to stake his claim. Self-absorbed Monday is as fast as the day is long, and she boasts that she can bag any man without getting serious; but the sexually talented Dr. Feelgood flips the script and uncovers another side of Monday. Spicy Salina's white husband is not one to share, so when he's sent to jail for choking the good doctor, the drama really begins. Dr. Feelgood's escapades as a true player could force him to finally settle down, or they might just motivate him to begin another affair of the heart. Watch out, because the ladies are lining up, and the doctor is in . . . Marissa Monteilh is a former commercial actress and television news reporter. A single mother of three, she lives in Atlanta, Georgia, and is currently developing projects for television and film.

[Kimyatta Walker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dr. Feelgood is the story of World Renowned Cardiothoracic Surgeon, Dr. Makkai Worthy. Makkai is a serial sexer...that's the only way I can describe him. He loves women and knows what to say and do to make them feel good. He is clear though that he is not in it for any sort of commitment. That doesn't mean folks don't catch feelings though.

We start off with him getting his butt kicked by the husband of one of his lovers. Well, yeah, that should happen! It's unfortunate, because I can't imagine this handsome man's face turning purple as this jealous husband is trying to beat the life out of him. You almost want to feel bad for him, until he says to the woman after the beat down, "Do I know you?" DUDE WHAT?!

Anyway, Makkai juggles his women expertly (or so he thinks) through the book. It kinda reads like a therapy session. You hear from each person back and forth. Makkai finally takes over the story. He says he is tired of the women telling their version. According to him, it's never as they say.

It's a fun story. You want to slap him, and each woman he deals with. Then you want to feel sorry for him. You almost can't blame him for being who he is. Wait until you meet his dad with his NASTY self! (okay..that was bad..lol..)

If you don't like cliffhangers, then you'll want to wait to read this book until the end of July when it's sequel You've Got It Bad is released.

There was a lot of scenarios throughout the book to digest, put I didn't want to put it down.
