We follow Archer and Bree as they each try to navigate their life and trauma mostly together and seperately. Bree shows up in town and meets with the mysterious Archer Hale, she's drawn to him and eventually learns he's mute due to a past accident. Having fled her hometown due to her own traumas and experiences, she is better placed to understand him.
I expected this book to dive deeper into their traumas or to explore more of their past, mke the plot thickens slightly but it felt predictable in many cannon events and ended on an expected note.
Having a mute character with so many intense emotions is quite fresh compared to other romance books, but in other aspects it felt rushed. Everything about him seems so convenient it just helps the story, he's a quick learner, he knows his ways and such.
Too many filler chapters of them making love, we could've explored many more themes in between.
The main characters are lovable and though it felt like we brushed a surface level subjects, their personalities make up for it cause they feel like golden retrievers.
