Loved this book. The writing was gorgeous and the vibe was perfect. This book is a mix of small town romance with characters marked by their dark pasts and kinda slow burn…? Also, there is dual pov, which I absolutely adore in general but especially in this one. No one can say anything against my precious Archer. I loved how this book shows that men can also suffer and be miserable and need to be cared for and can cry and can be in love so wholeheartedly. On the contrary, the book tackles some pretty tough traumatic experience (Bree: rape/sexual assault and Archer: family issues) as well, so be sure to check the trigger warnings. Yet, this book perfectly describes how two people can heal through love, trust and communication and that’s what I love about it. Actually, it’s not a stereotypical love story but a book about tenderness and understanding. At last: read this book, it’s pretty awesome and even worth a reread. 

Ps: you should not read this book if anyone (your parents for instance) can look over your shoulder (I speak from personal experience) xD

I’m going 3.75 stars. This book was super cute and I’m obsessed with Archer! I want to protect him at all costs because he’s just so pure. The story was good and I enjoyed most of the characters. It was great to see asl representation in a book. I liked the growth for both Archer and Bree. My main turn off has to do with

the implied sexual adult against Archer and how Bree’s reaction wasn’t recognizing that it was 100% rape. I know nothing actually happened to Archer at the strip club, but the reader, and Bree, didn’t know that initially so I was upset seeing Bree say that Archer made the “choice” to go in the back room. <\spoiler> Other than that though this book had me smitten

CW: sexual assault, domestic abuse

Bree Prescott set out on the road in hopes of finding peace. Recently, her father had been murdered during a robbery and she was sexually assaulted by the criminal. Bree could not stop reliving the events of that night. She wanted a change of scenery, so she set out for a place with happy memories from her childhood. Bree rented a cabin on the lake for a couple of weeks. Her plan was to find a job and enjoy the quiet of the small town. She found a job quickly and started to make a couple of friends. She met a man her first day when he helped her pick up some items she had dropped. He didn't speak to her, but was helpful and quiet. When she asked about him, she was told he was Archer Hale. He was unable to speak due to an accident as a child and kept to himself. Bree rode her bike past his property when she was heading to the beach near her cabin. She couldn't stop thinking about him.

Archer Hale was part of the family who ran the small town. One of his uncles inherited the deed to the property most of the town sat on. His widow now controlled the town and his cousin was working toward becoming police chief. Archer had very little contact with that part of his family. As a young child, Archer lost his parents during a tragic event which also caused him to lose his ability to speak. He ended up living with his other uncle who was a recluse. That uncle died several years past and Archer was now alone. Whenever the townspeople saw him, most of the residents ignored him or said very little because they didn't know how to communicate with him. He missed having someone to spend time with. Bree caught his attention when he stopped to help her pick up her dropped items. She smiled at him and treated him like he was like everyone else. It had been a long time since someone had done that. 

This story was sweet. Two broken people found a way to make each other whole again. Archer was someone who made Bree feel safe. She learned to trust again. Bree treated Archer as someone who was important. She could see that he was an intelligent and capable person who communicated differently from others. He could speak. Archer's voice was his hands. It was hard not to get angry with the people who were in Archer's life prior to the loss of his parents. They basically forgot about him and he suffered for that. Archer's life could have been so different if he had someone advocating for him. I enjoyed the slow realization of Bree and Archer's feelings for one another. The ending was very satisfying with a lovely epilogue.
