I read Ranger and loved it so I figured that I would give Archer a try, but I definitely preferred the last book of the series rather than the first. How could I not when this is inspired by Hochner from Criminal Minds? Personally, I didn't see a lot of the same characterization that I would have expected from that character, which was a bit disappointing, but it was close enough that I was able to through till the end.

I thought the plot was utterly predictable. The main character was decently relatable and a strong woman, but I couldn't get past all the growling and "baby"s, it's just not my thing. The sex scenes were decent, I love a man with a good mouth. But for the love of god, never tattoo somebody while you're fucking them, that is a recipe for disaster in so many ways.

2.0

I had high hopes as this was sold to me as “criminal minds meets small town romance” and while some of the references and characterisations were on the nose, it fell a little flat to me for either tropes. 

Archer felt like Hotchener however outside of his personality nothing felt like the brilliant profiler that Hotchener is. 

If I read this book without the imagery of CM, it still falls flat. The storyline didn’t work for me as the FMC just didn’t fit. She came off as annoying, which in hindsight is fair and very true to who someone in her shoes would be, but pair that with MMC and it was a lose-lose case. 

I also really hate the instalove/instalust and “her being a virgin waiting for him to finally see her” trope. Can we please move on from them?
