Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan
5.0
So there are really no words for me to describe how much this book broke my heart. And I will also emphasize that if you do decide to read this, to read every page thoroughly, and even when you THINK one thing happened and you start bawling like a baby, staring at the wall wondering if life is even worth living, please just read the next page. TRUST ME!!! You’ll know when you get there.
First, let me start by saying that this book was really easy to get into, and even easier to love. The setting— small town in Maine, cottage, beach vibes, lovely people, is perfect. It’s summertime going into fall, and then we get a few winters. P e r f e c t for the fall time right now. At least if you’re in the northern hemisphere! Second, you’ll love most of the characters. The good ones, anyway. And once you do, it’s all up from there.
Archer…. dear Archer. Now I really understand all the swooning and love for Archer Hale that I’ve had on my fyp for the longest time. He’s a breath of fresh air and his love for Bree is invigorating. His love is magical. And Bree. Her love for him is the same. It was captivating reading a book where at times I felt like the woman was guiding the man, and in some instances she literally was. And Archer’s story, though Bree’s is also traumatic, is nothing short of heartbreaking. I cried and cried and cried for Archer. But watching him come alive was everything.
I just got off a few month binge of Elle Kennedy and other smut based books like Tessa Bailey too and the love in those pages isn’t the love in these. Sometimes the girls were bratty or whatnot, but not Bree. And not Archer. The best way I can describe one of the main differences between Archer’s Voice and some of the other romances that I’ve read is that in the other romances, they parted due to problems between the both of them, whereas with this one the conflicts the characters are dealing with seldom include each other. Their love was never motivated by social pressure or anything. It was pure from the start, and since Archer signs and doesn’t speak, it really was something truly so intimate and special that I haven’t read in a book before. It’s up there right next to Emily Henry. And there was surprisingly still so much spice in this book. I really don’t know how she wrote all of everything that is in this book because frankly, it IS a lot. But it’s wonderfully done.
This is one of my most annotated books now and rightfully so. There’s individual character development, and conflicts from both of their pasts. But then we get to see the two of them together for a long time, for the majority of the book. There’s no real “waiting” for them to admit they’re drawn to each other and then give it a shot– it’s kind of just there from the very beginning. It’s love at first sight without either of them trying to fight it for whatever reason they “can’t be together”. I hate when a book ends and I feel like I didn’t get enough of the couples. Believe me, I wanted so much more when I finished this. But I was satisfied with what I was given. It was enough.
