What a mental rollercoaster. Wow. 

After a while I found that the spicy parts took away from the storyline and found myself skipping over those sections haha, but even though I found most of the twists predictable I really did enjoy the storyline and development of Brees relationships with the people in Pelion.

Wow, finally got this out of the tbr after years of Steph Bohrer recommending it!
Archer's Voice has its problems, the main one being that so much TRAGEDY happens to these two main characters that sometimes it feels like the author just wanted to add some ✨️extra drama✨️ for the sake of it. Still, a good old small town romance book with a twist and well written characters.

yeehawwlovesbooks78's review against another edition

DNF at 31%.. I had a hard time connecting with the characters and Travis I thought was very disrespectful and just wants Bree for sex. Like come on now…. Kisses her on the first date and they aren’t even dating and when he picked her up for the date gave them to her. And then Archer keeps giving mixed signals and facial expressions and Bree swears she is already in love with him. Yes Archer is deaf and speaks sign language but I felt like the whole time they were talking they couldn’t open up because either she was nervous or Archer has something up his sleeve and now that she has been warned to be careful of him it’s like yeah no not vibing this and he’s a red flag. All the Hale boys are red flags and it’s very confusing and going from past tense to present and with flashbacks just hard to keep up with. Might try and give this book a second chance but but as of right now I just can’t.

I quite enjoyed the easy going writing style but I must say, that the story wasn’t as much to my liking. The intimate scenes were put quite randomly and at one point they didn’t add anything to the plot anymore. The plot itself was quite interesting but too dramatic for my taste. 
Overall an okay book, which I sadly wouldn’t recommend a friend unless they are into niche and sad love stories.

This book captivated me from the START. I just LOVE bree and archer. I love their angst and relationship. It was SO sweet. They both had trauma to work through- at first it made me uncomfortable kind of how much they started to depend on each other? But honestly it’s wrapped up beautifully at the end. 

Also the way the author showcased archer’s anxiety, trauma and thoughts? OMG. It was done so well, i felt his every emotion and felt for him. My sweet archer. He deserves everything.

There were so many times I hugged my kindle because they’re so precious to me and even sobbed because of the emotions they made me feel 😭 

What made me not give it 5 stars.. were all the sexual acts they were having. You could say it was part of them figuring out their relationship together and I didn’t really mind how it was described (bc honestly the author did such a good job).. it was just how much it was occurring? I thought it was alot in my opinion but their thoughts and emotions being described during the act(s) made up for it! 

THEY BOTH HAVE MY HEART AND I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH. THEY ARE APART OF MY PERSONALITY NOW. My sweet babies. They deserve it all.
