With Marina being a lady in the street and a tiger in the bedroom, Mangus thinks he has the perfect woman. Mangus gets a rude awakening when he discovers Marina's anger and physical abuse towards him. To make matters worse, a sexy new neighbor named Maxine extends an olive branch to Mangus to try to get him out of his abusive situation. Will Mangus break away from Marina?

Something He Can Feel is a thought-provoking and daring novel by Marissa Monteilh. Monteilh masterfully brought a tale of spousal abuse at the hands of a woman. The storyline was innovative because you rarely hear of the plight of men who are physically abused by their wives. This subject was presented in a very precise and clear manner that will definitely connect with readers. You will see how much of Marina's fractured childhood and young adulthood lead to her extreme anger and physically abusive demeanor towards men. You will feel for Mangus as he tries to deal with this issue on his own. The irony in this story is that Mangus is a police officer whose job is to protect and serve, but he needs to be protected from his own wife. There is a healthy dose of erotic sex scenes between Marina and Mangus, but it ties in well with the whole control and abuse aspect of this story. Something He Can Feel is a classic, emotionally-charged tale. Marissa Monteilh has once again elevated her supreme storytelling skills to new heights.
