“Archer’s Voice” is a powerful, beautiful love story about trust, acceptance, and complex communication. I really liked how Mia Sheridan handled Archer’s ability to communicate without his voice. It struck a very strong note in me, as I work with many nonverbal individuals and know firsthand how much you don’t know until you learn to communicate using their language.
Because communication is not exclusively vocal. We all know body language makes up a good part of it, but words can also be shown in many different ways. Voice isn’t reserved just for sound that comes out of your mouth, that is spoken. Sometimes voice is sign language (featured in this book) or through a communication device or through writing on paper, reading lips, etc. Whichever it may be, that is your voice. And our sweet, incredibly misunderstood Archer’s voice shouldn’t have been so different from everyone in Pelion, Maine. If only they’d taken the time to listen with more than their ears and preconceived prejudices.
Until Bree shows up, and everything changes for Archer. I fell headfirst into Archer and Bree’s tender, tentative love—how much they trusted each other and believed in one another, despite each of their own past trauma and current obstacles. It was first love and it never read so real to me. When love is right, it’s bigger than anything. (Note: LOTS AND LOTS OF SPICE in case you were wondering!)
I already wish I could read this again for the first time. LOVE is, in fact, the reason.

The story was pretty average for a romance I didn't find anything special about it and it didn't give me what I usually seek in a romance. There were parts were it was really cheesy and not even the kind of cheesy I like and other parts were cringey for me. Usually I don't mention this in my reviews but this had lots of smut which didn't go well with the story and it made it really unrealistic. You could read it as a plain romance but don't be expecting anything like I did and I personally think there are better things out there.

I just finished Archer's Voice and I'm a crying mess.
Well, throughout the whole read I've been crying.
I didn't really know what I was getting from the read, I did not read much of the blurb or know much about what the book was about but I 100% did not expect to get my heart torn apart, cry like crazy and just feel so much love towards the characters.
This was such an amazing read.
I was a bit on the fence in the beginning. It was a slow build-up and it's worth it in the end.
I feel like during the read the setting should be Sam Smith or Adele's songs playing while it's raining.
The character development for each character was astounding.
It was well written in a sense we follow Bree's POV but once a while Archer's POV.
Their storyline, their love and chemistry are the sweetest love ever that it's so fragile but so beautiful and you want to protect them.
“How do you teach a man who has lost everything, not to fear it happening again?”
