A different kind of romance: comedic but dead serious

The immediate difference that sets Wolf’s writing apart from your typical romance novel would be the characters. The main character being a male on the spectrum and the woman of his interest being a prostitute (though he’s unaware of that fact). The result is a fun, inspiring, and mind-penetrating read. Even after finishing the novel, my brain was still processing the situations and moral challenges that Wolf brings to light in his clever, plot twisting way. So if you enjoy romance (the real deal, not just mushy scenes) and a bit of a challenge to grow as a person yourself, you will absolutely enjoy this book.

This is fantastic book and I can’t wait to watch the film. The book is lovely written and tackles hard subjects like human trafficking. You instantly warm to the characters especially Shawn and Violent. Shawn is autistic and sees life differently which is lovely and he wants to get married but finds it hard to find the right woman until he meets Violent but her life is not perfect and feels she not worthy of nice life or Shawn. I recommend this book. Brilliant. I really like the front cover which drawn me to the book. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book.

Allen Wolf did a fantastic job bringing awareness to autism and human trafficking. This book is going to stay with readers long after they've finished. Both heart breaking and haunting I think people will enjoy the realness of this story without being too sad to continue.

What a brilliant book, one that both addresses a very real challenge in our society and incredible acceptance and grace. The story is compelling and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. You quickly learn to really love certain characters and hate others. The emotional tug is consistent and the desire to help women in slavery grows with each word. It's a beautiful love story that also reminds the reader of how our own sense of pride and judgement are hurtful to those we love. Allen's story and writing style capture your heart. This is a must read and a great book to read alongside your child to discuss the topic of modern day slavery.

The Sound of Violet is a sweet romance, and I could not put it down. It’s a well-paced story with a quirky sense of humor that I wasn’t expecting from a story touching on topics of human trafficking, autism, and personal tragedy.

Thanks Netgalley for a arc copy of this book for a honest review.. 


The sound of Violet it's about  Artism and  Human trafficking. There were some funny parts at the same time it was heart breaking and a beautiful written at the same time. 5 star read for me 



Happy Reading 📚

Congratulations on a wonderful story of humanity at its best by overcoming the worst. I am honored to have read this in prerelease. The character development is full; giving the reader an insight into life experience and emotions that are not typically approached. The story progresses easily with details such that the scenes jump from the page. Easy to see how this was a screen play. Very well balanced romance with an undercurrent of social awareness. Highly recommend this offering

Shawn is autistic and dreams about meeting “the one”, however he has a hard time getting passed the first date. Until he meets Violet, a prostitute who mistakes his invitation to dinner as him wanting to hire her.

Equally funny and heartbreaking, this book was beautifully written giving awareness to both Autism and Human Trafficking.

3.5 rounded up
Fun quick read. Not really sure what I expected but enjoyed this. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC for an echange of an honest review.

Very interesting story. Highly recommend it.

The sound of Violet is a sweet Christian book with a focus on sex trafficking, as well as autism.
The author does a pretty good job on highlighting some of the struggles that come with having autism and living with someone with autism. I liked the main characters, Shawn and Violet. Most of the supporting characters worked well too, especially Shawn's brother. I'm not sure what was going on with his grandma. She went from kind to really hateful so fast, I almost had whiplash. It just didn't fit with the kind of person she's originally portrayed as being. Either way, I couldn't put it down.

I love this book. I fell in love with the characters and the story captivated me. Can't wait to see the movie version.
