I went into this book without any details. I'm glad I did. 

Watching Archer and Bree fall in love was beautiful. Seeing them face their own trauma was heartbreaking. 

The story is so tender, and I love both of them so much.

tcgav's review against another edition

Genuinely I’m so confused as to how this book has over 4 stars, and was probably the most recommended book to me ever! 

My main issue is the author telling everything literally rather than showing. The writing is bad. 

Other than that: 
Weird infantilizing of the mute character even within sexually explicit scenes which feels particularly gross for me. Language at times was terribly ableist and weird, especially describing the MFC’s love for the MMC. Feels way too contrived to have

brothers fighting over a single girl in both generations

. The way what I see as non-consent (intoxicated, inexperience, character is mute) is handled is gross. How does someone own a town?? Everyone states the MMC is supposed to be so sweet and lovely but his jealousy and inability to trust the MFC when she says she will do something or feels a certain way (despite her literally never having lied to him) is gross and not in line with a sweet, lovely, MMC. His virginity also like goes beyond virginity into borderline not knowing about sex at all which just comes across again as infantilizing and gross. There are just an ungodly amount of explicit scenes with nothing of substance or interest in between. 

I am the target audience for this book like everyone recommended it to me for a sweet MMC and disability representation but it’s just so poorly executed in every way in my opinion, I couldn’t even finish it.

The beginning is kinda slow but other than that the storyline keeps you locked it. Archers childhood is rough but he is sweet, caring,vulnerable man that with have you think 'husband material'. <Be prepared to hate Travis in this book >. I would recommend this book
