“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.

💙 Atlas Corrigan days are over for me. Here comes ARCHER HALE, the mysterious, silent, the sweetest, the most caring and the most sensitive man. The Best Book Boyfriend.
💙 I don't remember the last time i cried this much over a book. And i surely don't remember crying within the first 50 pages. The Dandelion on it's cover was a sign that this book is for me and it definitely is.
💙 Archer's Voice is a heartwarming and beautiful story about survival, strength and the healing power of love. How just one right person can make your life from miserable to beautiful. I felt so many emotions and i felt them strongly.
💙 Mia Sheridan knows how to convey strong emotions and her descriptions are so vivid.
💙 The book is mostly from Bree's POV but in between we get to read about Archer's side of story through some flashbacks from his childhood and also his feelings from the present.
💙 Bree Prescott is the best female lead I've read in a long time. She is strong, sensitive, so pure at heart and very caring. Both the characters are extremely loveable and there's not even a single toxic or negative thing about any of them. They are lovable as a couple and they are lovable as individuals.
💙 I can go on and on about this book but i don't wanna give away too much details about the story. I am in love with this book and i am gonna definitely read every Mia Sheridan book from now on.
💙 If you love a tear-jerker with tragic pasts and heartwarming romance, pick this up without any second throughts.
