Archer's Voice

It had potential. The past of both MCs was intriguing. But the plot... Well... Not so much.

We follow Bree, and she was a nice girl, who was instantly obsessed by Archer (enter hot misterious awkward guy). Her initial connection, with her father being mute is understandable, but she instantly took it to a 100. Her fixation was too much too fast.

Now Archer was interesting. He was like a child, and Bree kept mothering him and the interaction got weird that way. And also, kinda toxic in the sense of him not being able to breathe without her.

The townspeople were good supporting characters but we found out very little about them. Travis was a character I wanted to know more about but sadly didn't.

And, like I said, the plot. Huge chapter cliffhanger followed by swift resolution every time.

Overall, I liked that Archer was sweet and really tried to better himself in the end, that made the book enjoyable enough.

book & cook club February Romance Books choice!

i am frankly frightened by the public opinions and ratings of this book. It sucks so bad, it made me wish I never learned to read.

i loved Archer's dark humour so much😭

5/5 - I seen so much hype about this book, but never looked into what it was about, but I'm so glad i read it. This was a beautifully written story about 2 broken people working through their tragedy and trauma, who essentially fall in love. I will say I was unprepared for the spice, but I was not upset. The story took me through a whirlwind of emotions; from anger, to laughing and crying. I will read this book again in the future as it truly tugged at my heartstrings.

This book became my favourite book of all times! There's not a single bad thing I can say about it. Love the characters, hate some of them (but you have to hate them), forgive some. Love the plot and the growth of the characters.

Prefiero no opinar

Básicamente una chica con 0 sentido del espacio personal horny por un mudo...

Medio insta-love el asunto y a veces me parecía más físico que nada, sobre todo al inicio.

Me triggereaba la terrible representación del pstd y los traumas de los personajes, no, solo...no.

Costó trabajo creerme ciertas partes, incluso pensé en dejar la lectura, pero bueno, supongo que cumple su trabajo de ser entretenido y le doy eso.

Idk, muy equis para mí ksjdj

look the TW before reading it !
okay... this is a good romance book
big plus because the communication- amazing

BUT, this is an instant love... and because of that the relationship wasn't credible, I didn't really cared for them that much
the spice was okay if you like it (communication, consent etc...) but too much and detailed for me

spoiler and confusing things;
at a specific moment Bree said something she wasn't supposed to, in the way that it wasn't HER secret but HIS so she wasn't allowed to do it, I was PISSED ugh how would you do that to “the man you love” ?!
you're telling me that the man, at his twenties, NEVER communicated with anybody before Bree ? like she's the good girl and everyone's mean ? duh


anyway its a 2,75 because it's a good book but some points weren't for me

Me ha gustado mucho, que bonitoooo.
Es verdad que el final se me ha hecho un poco precipitado pero por lo general ha estado muy bien.

Was the writing great? Absolutely not. There were a few things that were kind of icky in the book but maybe I'm just feeling a little bit sappy so I was able to just kind of breeze past them. This is a classic happy ending story. 

Okay.. I absolutely loved this book. From cover to cover, I was so hooked. Archer Hale is so so precious and deserves everything good. I was so sad the more I learned about his childhood and how people treated him. I love Archer and Bree SO MUCH. They are one of my favorite couples and Archer Hale will forever have my entire heart. The epilogue took me out. When the boys used sign, I cried. It was so wholesome, I loved it. Also, when he ran to her house in the middle of a thunderstorm because it triggers her PTSD? CRIED. It broke my entire heart and then healed it all over again. I don't want to say goodbye to these characters. I have. Feelings about Travis.. Idk. I might still read his book, I'm not sure though.

I have heard such wonderful things about this story and I was so excited to read it.

“I was thinking about how I thank my lucky stars every day that I ended up here... right here, with you.”

I loved that Archer's healing was his own and wasn't relying on Bree. I was worried about how the love story was developing and it didn't feel healthy when Archer was expressing how he didn't believe he could recover losing Bree. I appreciated that he took the time for himself to learn how to live for himself and not anyone else.

Archer is probably one of my favourite male protagonists. I loved reading him growing into himself and him learning that he is worth more than he originally believed.

My only issue is that some of the storyline was predictable for me and some felt quite rushed whereas I personally felt like it needed to be dragged out further for me to feel any connection to it.

However, I loved this and it was such a sweet read.

“I Archer you. God, I Archer you so much”

One of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. Possibly the most beautiful love story I've ever read. I love Archer. I love Bree. I have nothing but good things to say and warmth in my heart for both characters. Such a powerful story. Would highly recommend to a friend!

Will forever be chasing the high this book gave me. The butterflies were through the roof. Read this right now and thank me later.

xoxo, girly now in a book slump because this was so good

4.5/5 Stars

Booktok brought success to a lot of books. Some of those I don't understand but this is not one of those cases.
I'm glad I've learned of its existence and decided to pick it up to read.

This was a beautiful love story between two broken people who are able to help each other heal. A book to help us remember that everyone has a voice, we just need to try to hear it.

I liked it

Words aren't enough to express how much I love this book.

⭐️: 5/5

2.5.

I'm so sorry. I really had high hopes for this one. It reminded me of “Southern Storms” by Brittiany Cherry but the villains just felt sooo cartoonish. It was also extremely long and I still don't feel like I fully understood the past. I might read “Travis” to see if that provides any more info but this was just not for me. I'm just in a mood I guess because my latest ratings have been rough

*♾/5. I have SO much to say about this book. First of all, I immediately fell in love with the writing style, it flowed so easily. That made it easier to ease into the story. Bree is one of my favorite main characters now, she's the sweetest and I loved the way she accepted Archer..the way she gave him a chance. Archer..ugh I could go on for days about him. It honestly hurt when he kept saying he was hard to handle. I was just like NO, YOU'RE NOT! He's just so sweet and considerate. One of my favorites scenes was the thunderstorm scene..my heart MELTED. I really liked how Bree just gave him a chance without knowing him, that's what made this story “It” for me. I loved the way Archer slowly let her in.. after what happened. There were times where I felt what the characters felt..which was a lot honestly. I'm glad that Bree & Archer were able to be there for each other, as friends..and then as more. They are definitely one of my favorite couples. And this is definitely in the top five of my favorite books. No words to describe my love for this book. No words whatsoever.

Well, hello, finally a male character who is not an asshole. And a female character who is not so self-absorbed and bimbo. I sighed in relief as I finished reading this book. At least it's not another horny teenage melodrama, thank God! Not that we don't have a pair of horny couple here. I digress.

There's plot, and there's some unnecessary disruption, unnecessary details. There can be more to the story itself, but alas, the author must've thought the sex scenes are equally important. It's nearly there, but did not quite reach the climax (pun intended). Almost. Likable characters, though. The background story is interesting enough, makes you wonder just what exactly happened in the past. Predictable, but keeps you wondering just as well.

Both MC have their own trauma, their own tragedy, but somehow it got a little downplayed. Unfortunate, really, as there are so many chances that the story can be developed to tease readers' emotion, to ensure the MCs really deserving of our unconditional love and support. A decent read, this one.

oh. my. god. this book was so beautiful i absolutely loved it! i just finished it and i already want to reread it. instantly became one of my new favs!

(reread mar 21st): i could read this book forever. wow

(reread apr 6): when in doubt...read archer's voice

I love Bree and Archer so much. Their chemistry was so well done! They literally spoke their own language.

Archer. Sweet, silent Archer. He deserved so much in his life. I'm happy he got there in the end. Not just as he found his place in the world, but how he found himself. He started off as a grumpy hero (we all know I love that trope) But as I learned more about his past, I realised that he wasn't grumpy, he was wounded. But he overcame that, and like Bree, I loved him for it.

Bree. She was kind to everyone and held her tongue when she couldn't be. She was strong and resilient. She knew what she wanted and didn't waiver. There was something in the way she loved Archer so fiercely that made me want to cry. I knew Archer loved her too, of course. But, ah, the way she loved him. It broke my heart.

The character development was really well done. I loved the side characters. Although they didn't add to the plot, they added to the story, if that makes sense.

Lastly and most obviously, I have to acknowledge the last few chapters because Mia Sheridan did me so dirty with that one. Not gonna go into too much detail but my emotions were all over the place.

Verdict: Archer's Voice made me want to move to a small town and fall in love.

TW: abuse, alcoholism, attempted rape, shooting

So, bad books, work sucks but it's not too bad? A bit of escapism would be nice? Quickly, grab a fluffy romance novel and laugh, cry, cringe. Sometimes at the same time. That pretty much covers how I came to read this book - and for a long time, I was absolutely loving it because probably most of us have “leaned back against [our] car and grinned like a fool”. This is Bree Prescott, heroine in this wonderfully sappy romance, fawning over Archer Hale, “the local, mute loner” - well, you get the gist.This book features a lot of those moments and they were definitely a huge part of what made this book appeal to me. The writing is... adequate. It's certainly not great but it fits the overall mood quite well:“I stared at him, our eyes meeting and tangling just like the first time we had met.” As long as you don't actually think about “tangling eyes”, you'll be fine. There are even a few insights in there that were unexpected, at least for me: “Maybe there was no right or wrong, no black or white, only a thousand shades of grey when it came to pain and what we each held ourselves responsible for.” And, at times, it gets very, well, soggy... “He moved toward me, his lips parting slightly, the look on his face a mix between uncertainty and blatant lust.” What follows is exactly what you're thinking of right now. Spelled out. Blatantly. If you like that, you won't be disappointed. At times, I actually loved this book and was already thinking how this review would read - raving, that I was sure of. I was touched by little things that reminded me of my wife of more than 20 years. Everything was hunky-dory. And right before we were happily riding into the sunset, Sheridan royally messes up. I won't go into the details but it's so horribly bad, I felt cheated, lied to - belittled as the reader, Sheridan's audience. I don't need to be taken overly seriously but there are limits to my patience and while I suspend disbelief, experience and parts of my brain for a good romance, I won't be fooled. With the last few chapters Sheridan really manages to totally destroy the entire book for me. I'm still reeling right now because I still feel abused. Without that, I'd have awarded this book four stars at least, with this “twist” I cannot help make that two only and an author I will avoid from now. Blog Facebook Twitter Instagram

This isn't a happy fluffy novel – there are some great lovely scenes, but there is a lot of trauma these characters have to work through. 


Now, I picked this one up because it has a TON of reviews and seems to be a staple for romance readers. I've been reading romance now for... 3-ish years? so every once in a while I try to read these books that much of the community loves. It is me, checking in. I'm glad I picked this one up, I think it is gripping and an emotional read. Not a favorite of mine, but I see why it gets so much hype. 

This is a book that is hard to put down, but can be overly dramatic at times, like I don't know how someone can own a town, is this really a thing? This felt like it could be a movie at times with how over the top some things were, but at the same time it made it an interesting read. 

Content warning: abuse, attempted rape, alcoholism 

3.5. This was a cute story. The end was very abrupt though.
