The writing style was just not for me. I feel like there were so many sex scenes that I couldn't enjoy the overall message of the book.

You know what, maybe love is in the air. Because when I tell you that I inhaled this book, I mean I was on another plane of being. MY EMOTIONS!!!! I knew this was a love story, but God did I underestimate how much love would be packed into this story and how much it would affect me. Is it possible to feel loved by a book??

“Archer’s Voice” is a powerful, beautiful love story about trust, acceptance, and complex communication. I really liked how Mia Sheridan handled Archer’s ability to communicate without his voice. It struck a very strong note in me, as I work with many nonverbal individuals and know firsthand how much you don’t know until you learn to communicate using their language.

Because communication is not exclusively vocal. We all know body language makes up a good part of it, but words can also be shown in many different ways. Voice isn’t reserved just for sound that comes out of your mouth, that is spoken. Sometimes voice is sign language (featured in this book) or through a communication device or through writing on paper, reading lips, etc. Whichever it may be, that is your voice. And our sweet, incredibly misunderstood Archer’s voice shouldn’t have been so different from everyone in Pelion, Maine. If only they’d taken the time to listen with more than their ears and preconceived prejudices.

Until Bree shows up, and everything changes for Archer.  I fell headfirst into Archer and Bree’s tender, tentative love—how much they trusted each other and believed in one another, despite each of their own past trauma and current obstacles. It was first love and it never read so real to me. When love is right, it’s bigger than anything. (Note: LOTS AND LOTS OF SPICE in case you were wondering!)

I already wish I could read this again for the first time. LOVE is, in fact, the reason.

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

I read Archer’s Voice in two sittings and it’s the first physical book I’ve finished in a while. 

Archer’s Voice follows the stories of Archer and Bree, their traumas, and how (with the faith of one another) they are able to work through their pasts in order to share a future together. 

I enjoyed this book from the start. Though, I will admit, there was about 1.5 pages near the end where I thought I was going to have to hate it. Iykyk. Anyway, if you’re a romance girly and you haven’t read Archer’s Voice, you totally should!

Such an amazing book, I loved every second of archers voice and I was so happy about the ending everything I wanted to happen happened but the epilogue is what got me because I just wished that it wasn’t so rushed like the book ends so nicely and I was happy about all that was in the epilogue but I just felt like maybe just more details of how they got from the ending to the epilogue would have been nice
