Rating: 5/5 

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. 

Their love story was so pure and precious. Archer Hale is my favourite contemporary romance book bf now. He is so so so so so precious. I just want to hug him!!! Bree is so sweet and precious!!! UGHHHH I JUST LOVE THESE TWO SO MUCH!! I will protect them with everything I've got. I will not be accepting any criticism against this book.

There was no unnecessary conflict or misunderstanding. Every conflict was reasonable and understandable and was solved in a great way!!! it was very nice and refreshing.

I loved this book so much. It was sad, funny and romantic that left me wanting for more. the main characters both have trauma that they overcome individually and together that is sad but has a happy ending. Really hits you in the feels with its twisted fate, Archer and Bree have good communication despite their challenges and Archer is a complete sweetheart that is definitely worth the read. Would definitely read a sequel of this!

This was a cute and unique romance. the beginning was amazing to me and the development of their friendship was my favorite part. however, there were some parts in this book that just had me rolling my eyes.

like the part where there’s a weirdly stereotypical bullying scene between jocks and a nerd where the protagonist helps him?? it literally added nothing to the story and just made me so confused. also when archers dads wife somehow finds out about the protagonists life history and uses it to pull the guy to tried to rape her from her past to kill her????? like it felt so far fetched and stupid i did not understand how anyone could fully get past that. 

also i kinda felt like the protagonist was kinda pushy. if not for that i could’ve enjoyed this so much more :/

This 👏🏽 book 👏🏽 right 👏🏽 here 👏🏽 !

My favorite quotes are at the end this time because there are so many!

Archer’s Voice took me through so many emotions and I found myself with tears in my eyes not even a fourth of the way the way through. It can easily be binged in a day, but I made myself slow down because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Archer & Bree. To top it all off, this copy has an extended epilogue that really put the icing on the cake! 

Full disclosure, this was SPICY spicy😆. But I HIGHLY recommend it! 

< Favorite quotes >

“Sometimes an understanding silence was better than a bunch of meaningless words.”

“Try to believe that maybe more light shines out of those who have the most cracks.”

“..the loudest words are the ones we live.”

“I knew I loved her – fiercely and with every part of my heart, even the broken parts, even the parts that felt unworthy and without value. And maybe those parts most of all.”

“Bad things don't happen to people because they deserve for them to happen. It just doesn't work that way. It's just… life. And no matter who we are, we have to take the hand we're dealt, crappy though it may be, and try our very best to move forward anyway, to love anyway, to have hope anyway… to have faith that there's a purpose to the journey we're on.”

I have read a lot about damage, healing and vulnerability but this one reached home.

All, I know is that my own breathe peaked and slowed with Bree's and Archer's. This book was really written from the good heart and I am glad to read it, I feel myself blessed to coming across Archer's Voice.

The more i think about this book the more i realize i hate it. I think that the traumas from the main characters were romanticized. And the second that they got together i lost all my interest, which was way to soon. And wtf was with the plot with the hooker! it did not add anything to the story, they already have alot of traumas! I get it he doesn’t have experience but during that, he does repeatedly say that he knows he is doing the wrong thing. So why justify him going to a stripclub???!! And the ending wtf was that?! It was a whole new plot in the last few chapters. Overall i just cannot give it more than one star…
