It was a very cute book, I laughed, I cried, and I definitely felt the emotions with the characters, especially in the end and the epilogue.

As a person with PTSD, I didn’t like how it seemed that their PTSD was magically cured by love, when that’s not how it works. Sometimes having support helps, but it comes in unexpected waves and storms, and this wasn’t portrayed in the best way.

Also, as a person who works with Deaf people daily as an interpreter, I think more research on the language could have made it more believable to me. There were a lot of phrases that were used that wouldn’t be used if people were signing because it’s not a translatable phrase. ASL is not just a signed version of English.

With more research and effort to try to make these parts more realistic could have easily made this a wonderful 5 ⭐️ read.

The story is sweet, although it dragged on a little at times. The sex scenes seemed a little immature and desperate, almost as if they were wattpad stories. There could have been less of them, too. My biggest pet peeve with this book was the repetitiveness of several of the phrases. Every time I read the word “delicious” I cringed. It would make a good drinking game though... Take a shot every time you see the phrases delicious, glittering, smiled a small smile (or any form of this same phrase) or I drank him in. Those were on every other page it seemed. Also, the “molest” comment was a little uncalled for and weird. It was definitely out of place and random. Aside from some immature writing and repetitive phrases, the story was okay. Definitely wasn’t a tear jerker though (I cry easily when I connect with a book.) This one just didn’t do it for me. All in all, it was alright. Wouldn’t recommend on my own, but wouldn’t stop someone from reading it if they wanted to.

The bar was set so high I was disappointed.
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.

bri__'s review

There are alot of reasons as to why I did not finish this book and that includes: lack of depth in characters, poor writing, insta-love, chapter 19?????, lack of depth into trauma and PTSD and the poor pacing. I was very nearly put into a slump by this book.
