4.5

4.5 stars** As advertised, this is one of the top 100 romances on Goodreads. Yes, it was a page-turner. Yes, it kept my interest and felt like a wholehearted ending to a love story. And there were some steamy scenes. But the characters were frustrating at times & sometimes I felt like saying "coulda warned ya!" 

And one last thing: why (WHY!) does every single chapter have to mention Bree getting a shower (either alone or with Archer)?! She comes home from work and showers. She showers before going to Archer's. She showers when she's sad & when she's happy. It's great to know Bree is always clean & follows basic human showering routines but why must it be mentioned in EVERY.DAMN.CHAPTER?!

I went into this book without any details. I'm glad I did. 

Watching Archer and Bree fall in love was beautiful. Seeing them face their own trauma was heartbreaking. 

The story is so tender, and I love both of them so much.

The beginning is kinda slow but other than that the storyline keeps you locked it. Archers childhood is rough but he is sweet, caring,vulnerable man that with have you think 'husband material'. <Be prepared to hate Travis in this book >. I would recommend this book

I was so incredibly excited to read this book, because of the never ending hype that it’s been getting online for the last several years. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my read of Archer’s Voice. As the book went on, I started to enjoy it less and less, because the dialogue became cringier and the characters became more naïve/ridiculous in their inner monologues and decision making. I think the general plot idea was a super interesting one that could have been explored in a compelling way, but extremely predictable plot twists and many “convenient” things that were used to advance the plot just came off as cheesy. I know that I’m very much opposite to what most people who have read this book felt, but I unfortunately didn’t enjoy this book nearly as much as I was hoping to.
