Synopsis (Goodreads):
Iris Collins is the messy one in her family. The "chaos bunny." Her sisters are all wildly successful, while she can't balance her budget for a single month. It's no wonder she's in debt to her roommates. When she unexpectedly inherits a house from her great aunt, her plan to turn it into a B&B fails—as most of her plans do. She winds up renting rooms like a Victorian spinster, collecting other lost souls...and not all of them are "human."Thoughts on The Only Purple House in Town: Oh my goodness. Iris and Eli were wildly sweet together as they worked on figuring out how to be be in a relationship. They went from being strangers (-ish) to sharing living space (of sorts) to getting a little smoldery when their other housemates weren't looking. They were just sweeeeeet.
Eli Reese grew up as the nerdy outcast in school, but he got rich designing apps. Now he's successful by any standards. But he's never had the same luck in finding a real community or people who understand him. Over the years, he's never forgotten his first crush, so when he spots her at a café, he takes it as a sign. Except then he gets sucked into the Iris-verse and somehow ends up renting one of her B&B rooms. As the days pass, Eli grows enchanted by the misfit boarders staying in the house...and even more so by Iris. Could Eli have finally found a person and a place to call "home"?
But let's start at the beginning. Iris and Eli both felt a little out of step with those around them in different ways. Iris didn't really fit in with her family (yikes, to that, btw) and Eli was becoming mildly detached from human life (or whatever you want to call it) as time went on. His ties to his grandma and his businesses are keeping him grounded for now, but for all his success, he's as adrift as Iris.
Fortunately for the both of them, Iris's plan to rent out rooms in her big house draws them together. Well, them plus a few other lost souls who needed a place to land. Which turns out to be everything they collectively needed because the group as a whole work together VERY well. And let's face it, found family can be the BEST family sometimes.
An interfering (and annoying) neighbor, a house with a whole lot of character, a secret or two, a few quirky individuals, magic, minor mayhem caused by said magic, and two people who find each other at exactly the right time. *thumbs up*
