Oh, my goodness. You want a roller coaster of emotions? Read this book. One chapter you're happy, the next you're shocked, the next you're throwing the book in anger, and next you're hugging it to your chest and crying. Well done, Ms. Sheridan. Well done.
Bree's past trauma came barreling in out of nowhere at the start of the book, and throughout we're given little pieces until we get the full story. And man, it's a doozy...Bree is escaping to Pelion, Maine, to try and get closure and room to work through her past, and in the process, she finds a whole new, truly fulfilling life.
Oh, sweet Archer. This poor guy had been through the wringer with trauma, physical and mental abuse, societal banishment, and overwhelming loneliness. Seeing him adjust to the real world, become acclimated to affection from Bree and others in the town, and seeing his personal, mental, and emotional growth was like watching a small child experience life for the first time.
Watching Bree and Archer grow, learn, and establish a life together was incredibly sweet, and seeing Archer work through his codependency to become self-sufficient was a proud turning point for him. They complimented each other so well, and their intimate way of communicating with each other spoke volumes.
The ASL aspect was truly beautiful! It was so refreshing to see this representation in a contemporary book, and it painted such a great visual picture for me when reading. I would love seeing this in more novels, and it would make a great movie/TV adaptation.
My only beef with the story (not including the bonus epilogue because I thought that was just really corny and unnecessary) was that Bree was a grown woman WHO WOULD NOT STOP SAYING TUMMY! Oh, dear Lord in Heaven, just say stomach like an adult. It's not that hard. And she said it SO many times! MEEEEH. Okay, rant over.
The book was also full of fantastic side characters that really helped build this world and maintain it! Keep in mind that this is an open-door romance with a fair amount of language throughout.
*Trigger warnings* severe panic/anxiety attacks, attempted rape, domestic abuse, physical, verbal, and mental abuse. Also, SCREW TORY. She can step on a floor full of Legos in the dark.

I love Archer and Bree
This is a lovely romance novel that had me crying for a good while. I absolutely enjoyed this story and Travis can of course go to hell.
I’m sorry, but I am not a fan of this book. It was a boring read at most times, repetitive, so all over the place towards the end, and 3 stars is probably generous. Rip.
