Archer’s Voice – Book Review

A gorgeous tale of survival and the healing power of love.

~”I Bree you”

Archer’s Voice-Blurb

I wanted to lose myself in the small town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I had left behind. The sound of rain. The blood. The coldness of a gun against my skin. For six months, each breath has been a reminder that I survived — and my dad didn’t. I’m almost safe again. But the moment I meet Archer Hale, my entire world tilts on its axis . . . and never rights itself again.

Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, Archer communicates with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There’s so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the ways his hands communicate with me. On me. But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all.

So much passion. And so much hurt. But it’s only in Archer’s silence that we might just find what we need to heal . . . and live.

Overall:      ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Story/Plot : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Romance:   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Spice:         ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Archer’s voice caught my attention with just the blurb and after reading the “The legend of Chiron the Centaur”, it just spiked my curiosity. The book is every girls book fantasy. From the setting of the story in a small cozy town with lake side view house for main leads to the backdrop of the main leads everything were top notch. This is a slow burn romance novel. The connection between main leads blossoms bit by bit through every chapter slowly. The connection between them is not driven by pure desire but more understanding unlike most of the books these days.

The writing style and the story building of the book is too good. Archer was a mute loner in the town with rumored psychotic tendencies. But the way he let in Bree to his life was well shown just like this scene where she visits his place for the first time, it shows that he is warming up to someone for first time in his life hesitantly:

Bree: Can I come back?; Okay. If your gate is open, I’ll know its okay to come in.

When I had arrived at Archers gate, I wasn’t able to help the smile that overtook my face when I saw that it was very slightly open.

The backstories of both the leads were kind of expected but it was well showcased. Bree’s father being mute and her ending up in a town were there is a mute guy who no one talks to gave the most beautiful kind of fate vibes! The way that he expresses his love towards her even though he is a mut really had my heart and how can I not quote the thunderstorm scene which changed the dynamics of their relationship

Bree: oh God. he must have walked here in the downpour. What are you doing here?

Archer: You don’t like thunderstorms.

Bree: You walked a mile in the rain because I don’t like thunderstorms?

Archer: Yes. I know I’m probably the last person you want to see right now, but I just thought if I sat on your porch, you wouldn’t be scared. You wouldn’t be alone.

Archers voice is one of the books that has female confession first and it didn’t really feel forced which I really enjoyed. His insecurities-Her reassurances were perfect from the start and the way he grew up to be the man she desired was well portrayed. Finally coming to spice- it didn’t really feel awkward or forced as it was slow burn and the way Archer was looking out for Bree and waiting for her approval each time added more momentum to the scenes.

Finally, I could say this is a classic love story that will be one my go to books forever. I definitely will recommend this to a friend!

Quotes:

Her Confession: Because I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. I wish you could read my mind so that you would know how much I want you, no one else. there could be 300 men after me right now. and it wouldn’t matter. Because none of them are you, Archer Hale. None of them are the man I love. And I was going to try to wait until you were ready to say it, too, but …..i cant. Because it literally wants to burst out of me all the time. And so its okay if you don’t love me, or if you ‘re not sure if you do. But I’m sure. And I can’t stand letting another minute go by where I don’t tell you I love you, because I do. I.Love.You. I love you so much.

~ Bree Prescott

His insecurity: I love you so much it hurts. It does because I’m afraid to love you. I’m afraid that you’ll leave and I’ll go back to being alone again. Only it will be a hundred times worse because ill know what I’m missing. I cant…I want to be able to love you more than I fear losing you, I don’t know how. Teach me, Bree. Please teach me. Don’t let me destroy this

~ Archer Hale

I lost my heart to you. And Bree, in case you’re wondering. I don’t ever want it back

~ Archer Hale

Someday, when we’re old and gray, I’m going to look at you lying in bed beside me and I’m going to look into your eyes and know that its only ever been you. And that is going to be the great joy of my life, Bree Prescott

~Archer Hale
