Loved this book. The writing was gorgeous and the vibe was perfect. This book is a mix of small town romance with characters marked by their dark pasts and kinda slow burn…? Also, there is dual pov, which I absolutely adore in general but especially in this one. No one can say anything against my precious Archer. I loved how this book shows that men can also suffer and be miserable and need to be cared for and can cry and can be in love so wholeheartedly. On the contrary, the book tackles some pretty tough traumatic experience (Bree: rape/sexual assault and Archer: family issues) as well, so be sure to check the trigger warnings. Yet, this book perfectly describes how two people can heal through love, trust and communication and that’s what I love about it. Actually, it’s not a stereotypical love story but a book about tenderness and understanding. At last: read this book, it’s pretty awesome and even worth a reread. 

Ps: you should not read this book if anyone (your parents for instance) can look over your shoulder (I speak from personal experience) xD

I’m going 3.75 stars. This book was super cute and I’m obsessed with Archer! I want to protect him at all costs because he’s just so pure. The story was good and I enjoyed most of the characters. It was great to see asl representation in a book. I liked the growth for both Archer and Bree. My main turn off has to do with

Spoiler

the implied sexual adult against Archer and how Bree’s reaction wasn’t recognizing that it was 100% rape. I know nothing actually happened to Archer at the strip club, but the reader, and Bree, didn’t know that initially so I was upset seeing Bree say that Archer made the “choice” to go in the back room. <\spoiler> Other than that though this book had me smitten

5.0

My rule is always that if a book makes me lose sleep and I can’t put it down and it is an automatic 5.0. This is exactly that book. I was so invested in what was going to happen with this couple. I hated Travis so much. I wanted to learn the backstory for both of them. I wanted them to succeed. I couldn’t put the book down. There were a few mean things that the author did but I can’t say because I don’t want spoilers. But they got me very emotional and then we’re like “psyche”. I don’t love that buuuuut it was well done. Definitely read this book. ASAP. Also, excelling smut level.

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.

this book was a rollercoaster, like i was happy then sad then happy then sad and it was so stressful but so worth it because reading archer and brees relationship was incredible.

Spoiler

the only thing i did not like about the book was travis' redemption arc after he was a slimeball for like most of the book
