Product Description
After three years together, Mia can't help wondering if she's got a real future with Miles -- who's all that and then some, as long as the words "love" and "commitment" don't creep into the conversation. But the lady's willing to put her doubts aside until after the vacation they've planned together with a group of their closest friends: a luxurious Caribbean cruise on the maiden voyage of the Chocolate Ship. The brainchild of billionaire black entrepreneur Delmonte Harrison, it's the "Love Boat" with a soulful spin. En route to Paradise, anything can happen and anything goes. Wings are sprouted, taboos are tolerated, truths are revealed, hearts are broken and reassembled -- and lovin' is served up as hot as Caribbean spice. All of a sudden Miles has a new crew of admirers. And Mia, who has caught the roving eye of the very fine Delmonte Harrison himself, is well on her way to discovering that temptation fever does not discriminate From Marissa Monteilh, the acclaimed author of May December Souls, comes a sizzling, sexy, fabulous, funny, and wonderfully romantic adventure of personal discoveries and glorious reawakenings on the unpredictable sea of love.

 Fun, hip and modern take on "The Love Boat." June 10, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I found this book to be a fun, dishy, sexy read - perfect for summer. Based on the other reviews I've scanned here, not sure what other readers were expecting. "Mutiny on The Bounty" or "Titanic" perhaps? Lighten up, people. When I read the cruise ship concept I figured it would feature vignettes of different characters (like the old TV show) and not just a deep character study of one or two. There's plenty of snappy dialogue that made me laugh and kept me turning pages. And just the right amount of steamy sex. I felt the sway of the ship, smelled the ocean water and was awed by the ethnic majesty and opulence of the ship. Her lush, detailed description swept me way and took me there. Based on the cover's promises, I think this author more than delivered.

This book was a hoot, from the fight scene to the sex scenes (everywhere) on the ship. Good idea. Where's Part 2? I'm going to get my ticket to cruise so I can have a ride of my own.
A good read June 12, 2003

I really enjoyed reading "The Chocolate Ship". It was good reading from beginning to end. I enjoyed reading about the characters and also the relationships between them. Having just come from a cruise, it was nice to read about how exciting a cruise can be!!!

This book is a great source of entertainment about a group of singles and couples from the Los Angeles area that embark on a vacation of a lifetime aboard a black owned cruise liner called The Chocolate Ship. This book took me on an enchanting ride that shocked me at times, made me laugh, want to book a cruise, and wish I was the one on the other end of that romance scene! This book entails "call your girls up drama", comedy, heart-touching poetry, and a lovely surprise ending. Marissa Monteilh provides a stimulating journey of fun, daring and exciting twists. Take this journey for yourself. You'll love...The Chocolate Ship-

A wonderful pleasant reading material. down to home with no big words, simple to digest with good taste. A little seashell could last a memory of a life time. Something to keep for your very own. There are much little details, many little things and we learned to appreciate.
I enjoyed the materials Mrs. Monteilh, Looking for to read the coming up "May December Soul"
Thanks for the free ride 'sailing' on the Love Boat!!!
