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

I was so incredibly excited to read this book, because of the never ending hype that it’s been getting online for the last several years. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with my read of Archer’s Voice. As the book went on, I started to enjoy it less and less, because the dialogue became cringier and the characters became more naïve/ridiculous in their inner monologues and decision making. I think the general plot idea was a super interesting one that could have been explored in a compelling way, but extremely predictable plot twists and many “convenient” things that were used to advance the plot just came off as cheesy. I know that I’m very much opposite to what most people who have read this book felt, but I unfortunately didn’t enjoy this book nearly as much as I was hoping to.

This book deserves every 5 star review. Archer was beautiful, tortured, honest, and seeing characters deal with trauma in such a REAL way was extremely refreshing.

Bree??? A pillar of strength. So admirable and warm and brave. I shocked myself at the amount of times I teared up while reading. Flew through the book in 8 hours on a day off, so lovely and beautiful and all things good.

4.5

"Archer's Voice" by Mia Sheridan is a captivating and heartwarming romance that left a lasting impression on me. One of the standout aspects of the book is the representation of the main character, Archer, who is non-speaking. The author handles this portrayal with sensitivity and respect, highlighting the challenges Archer faces and his resilience in navigating a world that often misunderstands him. It was refreshing to see a character with such a unique perspective, and it added depth and authenticity to the story.

The relationship between Archer and the female protagonist was beautifully written. Their connection felt genuine, and the author did an excellent job of developing their bond as they supported each other on their healing journeys. The chemistry between them was palpable, and I found myself rooting for their happiness.

The story itself was strong from the beginning, drawing me in with its engaging plot and well-crafted characters. The pacing was well-balanced, allowing for moments of tenderness, growth, and emotional intensity. However, the ending felt a bit rushed and neatly tied up, which took away some of the impact and left me wanting more. Despite this, the overall journey of Archer and Bree was satisfying and emotionally resonant.

I appreciated the author's writing style, which was descriptive and evocative, making it easy to immerse myself in the story. However, there were occasional editing issues that could have been improved, although they did not significantly detract from my enjoyment of the book.

"Archer's Voice" is a powerful and heartfelt romance that explores themes of love, healing, and acceptance. The representation of a non-speaking main character, the portrayal of a healthy and supportive relationship, and the captivating chemistry between the couple make this book a memorable read. While the ending could have been more satisfying, it doesn't diminish the overall strength of the story. I would recommend "Archer's Voice" to fans of contemporary romance who appreciate stories with depth and emotional resonance.
