Violet (For The Love of Purple Book 3)
Violet feels all the things, catches glimpses of the future, and knows exactly the right pillow for every person she meets, which is good, because they rarely choose the right ones.
Linus isn’t usually a baker, but for three weeks every year, he returns to the town where he was once a small boy with garbled words and bakes bread so that his aunt can take her annual vacation.
There’s a whole town with opinions on whether the two of them belong together. Fortunately, there are also friends with hammers, and hooch-making ghosts.

Sweet Finish
Not the direction I thought this series would take, and I'm glad I was wrong. Another deep, touching story - if you are looking for a story about acceptance and second chances, this is the book for you. I'm actually hoping Audrey revisits Perception Bay from time to time. There are more stories there begging to be told!
A dolphin and a sea dragon, in human identity, and a care-full voyage of discovery and sharing.
Ghost Mountain is where I want to live -- when I want to be someplace other, I pick up the pack and go there. Perception Bay offers a way to look for a path to where I need to be and who I need to be. Violet knows things, like puzzle pieces, and keeps alert for the places the pieces belong. Linus is having the amazing experience of being seen and heard and valued for exactly who he is and where he is, with someone not drawing boxes and scripts for him to fit and follow. Violet, Blue, and Indigo are not fitting in and belonging in a pattern already extant - not a pack or a prophecy or a mission. For The Love of Purple is more an exploration of the journey and process of finding and making a kinship wherever I am and wherever I go -- Shape both myself and my environment to nourish and nurture. Thank you again for books that celebrate connection and courage and caring. Full disclosure: I received a free copy of this book to review. Three days later when it was actually released at Amazon, I purchased the book as well -- writing a review is to share my "Read these books!"
Thank you!
Audrey, I am not yet done reading this book, but I just need to say this to you. I am so very grateful for the beautiful, sensitive, meaningful, and often funny ways you use words. In all if your genres and under all of your pen names, I ALWAYS find words that speak to and open my heart; that make me cry; and make me laugh and teach me better ways to be more. Thank you so much! 💝
Amazingly thought provoking series
I love everything that Audrey Faye writes but this series is special. These 3 books and specifically this final one, is a direct hit to the times we live in now where everyone is becoming more aware of the individual stories of the people around us. I actually made notes on tactics to use when getting to know new people to add to my managerial toolbox. Regardless of all that, it was a great story, well told with seriously defined and enjoyable characters. As always no gratuitous sex to deter from great story telling. LOVE LOVE LOVE Audrey Faye.
Another sweet book
I have loved this whole trilogy and this one did not disappoint. A sweet, low stress romance in a town full of fun quirky people and found family. It’s a warm hug of a book when you just need a comfort read.
Not fair! 😉
I was hooked when I walked down the street and got my first glimpse of Perception Bay’s heart. They love. They accept. They welcome, even as they freely adjust their own hearts and attitudes. I want more!
Beautiful!
This third book in this trilogy made my heart happy and my soul fly along with the characters. Violets story is surprising, and unexpected and magical and filled with love and being seen, and friendships, and inclusion. I hope this town is revisited often by the author, there are so many people I want to know more about!
I loved all three
Heartwarming tales of love and finding your place in the world. Stories about how everyone can find their happy place and the people they need to be with. I'm not so sure that life is really that simple or that we all get to have such happy endings, but it sure is nice to escape into such a world for a few hours.
Loved it!
Thank you, Audrey for this wonderful portrayal of an autistic adult man. I loved how we were able to feel his thoughts and his journey. And I love this town and its quirky inhabitants.
For the love of Purple
What a wonderful trilogy, it was quirky, loving, funny and I loved the girls friendship that started when they were so young. I love all of Audreys stories but this was amazing you will love it. Start reading it and all of her stories you will be amazed how good they are. Great job.
