I'm simply speechless. Archer's Voice is an emotionally loaded masterpiece that stays with you long after you turn the last page. Some moments may be triggering, but the raw, heartfelt journey of Bree and Archer is nothing short of breathtaking.  

The character growth in this book is phenomenal. Watching Archer transform from an insecure, closed-off man into someone confident and ready to love Bree with everything he has was so moving. His struggle with feeling unworthy because he's mute was written with such depth. I felt every bit of his pain, longing, and eventual self-acceptance.  

Bree’s journey was just as powerful. Her trauma surrounding her father’s death and the flashbacks that haunted her finally started to fade once she found peace, with Archer. She went searching for solace, and she found it in him.  

The romance was everything, yearning, softness, passion. It was that soul-crushing, deep-into-your-bones kind of love. Every moment between them felt real and beautifully intimate. Mia Sheridan crafted a love story that is tender, heartbreaking, and healing all at once. I’ll never forget this book.

The writing style felt wooden and slow, with unnecessary descriptions of events, while simultaneously lacking emotional depth and detail. I was not invested in the world or the characters at all. The pacing was so slow and then suddenly all the action flies at you in a way that does not allow you to absorb what is actually happening.

Ugh. My heart aches for Archer. His and Bree’s love story was really sweet. I kind of wish it had been a little longer though, because the end felt a bit rushed. And, that One Thing that happened at the end was just. . .mean. I didn’t sob like I was led to believe that I would, but tears were definitely shed. Overall, I’m glad I finally gave this a try.
