Message from Viola Mari book synopsis from eXtasy Books
The man who makes
Marissa crazy is the only man she wants. But it’s a bad time to let lust call
the shots when a comet cloud is careening toward Earth and Marissa’s the only
one who can save everyone.
World-renowned
oceanographer and meteorite specialist Marissa Jones uncovers evidence that a
comet cloud will soon destroy Earth. When aspiring writer and her best friend
Jennifer begs her to take a Saturday morning sci-fi writing class, Marissa
reluctantly agrees. Writing her real-life story as fiction gives her an
astonishing new perspective on the anomalous set of craters she discovered off
the La Jolla Coast. But this favor for her friend stirs up more than scientific
results…writing teacher Justin Lincoln goads her constantly and taunts her with
his irresistible curly blond locks and steely physique he knows only too well
make women drool. Marissa teeters on the edge of anger and raging attraction
for this irritating man. But it’s a terrible time to let lust call the shots
when the world’s about to end and Marissa’s the only one who can save everyone.

Review of Message
from Viola Mari
Message from Viola
Mari was an unexpected romantic sci-fi delight. I should preface by saying
I’m a huge sci-fi fan and have become incredibly picky over the years when it
comes to the genre. I know what I like in sci-fi and I know what I don’t like—and
I have no patience for the stuff I don’t like. So, I was understandably
hesitant when I read the blurb for Message from Viola
Mari and realized it had sci-fi elements.
As I dove into the
book, I was completely taken by the sci-fi aspect. There are craters on the
ocean floor that occasionally disappear and reappear later. And people start
going missing. Oh and there’s that impending comet, that will end all life on earth.
With all of this sci-fi doom that Marissa knows is coming, no one believes her
because, well, it sounds ridiculous. And
because she’s a woman.
But, as this is a
romance book blog site, you probably know there’s some steamy love and hot sex
in there. Author Sabrina Devonshire does not disappoint. Marissa, at the urging
of her best friend, signs up for a sci-fi writing class and immediately falls
head over heels for her professor. But, being the strong, independent woman
that Marissa is, she fights him every step of the way. The sparks that fly
between them and the words that are tossed across the room are fun to read and
experience.
Marissa is a strong
female protagonist that won’t let a man push her around—and during a fight
scene later in the book, she kicks some serious ass—so it takes her a while to
lower her defenses and let Justin, the professor, in. Their relationship gets
off on a bit of a rocky start, but soon thrives. That is, until, well…you’ll
have to read the book to find out what happens.
Message from Viola
Mari was a pleasure to read—a nice blend of romance and science-fiction. It
has a quick pace and fun characters that keep the reader flipping pages, and
both the romance and sci-fi keep you gripped until you reach the end.
