Archer's Voice Kindle Edition

by Mia Sheridan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 65,884 ratings
Goodreads Choice Award nominee

“A beautifully touching story of true love and triumph over heartbreaking situations.”​ — People.com 

From New York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan comes an emotional, slow burn romance about a woman desperate to hide and the man who sees through her walls, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Lucy Score.

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.

Includes an exclusive extended epilogue from Archer's POV!

A Goodread's "Top Romance Novel of All Time"

    5.0 out of 5 stars I bawled my eyes out !!!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Mia Sheridan’s Archer’s Voice is a deeply emotional, slow-burn romance that explores themes of trauma, healing, and love. This contemporary romance follows Bree Prescott, a woman seeking peace in a small town, and Archer Hale, a reclusive man with a tragic past. Their love story is tender, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful, making it a standout in the genre.

    Bree Prescott – Bree is a strong yet vulnerable protagonist. Fleeing from a traumatic event, she arrives in the quiet town of Pelion hoping for a fresh start. She is kind, empathetic, and determined to move forward, but her past still haunts her. Her patience and unwavering belief in Archer are what make her an endearing and compelling character.

    Archer Hale – Archer is unlike typical romance heroes. He is silent—not by choice but due to a tragic accident in childhood that left him without a voice. His isolation, both physical and emotional, has made him socially inexperienced but deeply thoughtful. His growth from a lonely, misunderstood outcast to a confident man learning to communicate and love is one of the novel’s strongest elements.
    The townspeople add depth to the story, from the warm and supportive characters to those who look down on Archer. Some provide moments of warmth, while others highlight the prejudices he faces.

    The novel is set in Pelion, Maine, a quiet lakeside town that plays a significant role in the story. The setting enhances the themes of solitude and healing, creating an intimate backdrop for Bree and Archer’s love story. Archer’s world is one of solitude, while Bree is trying to find a sense of belonging. The contrast between his isolated cabin and the more vibrant town highlights his personal struggles and gradual reintegration into society.

    Sheridan’s writing is lyrical and deeply emotional. She captures raw feelings, making the reader fully experience Bree and Archer’s pain, joy, and love. The story is primarily told from Bree’s perspective, but we also get glimpses into Archer’s mind, especially through journal entries and memories, which add emotional depth. The novel is heavy on emotion, dealing with trauma, loss, and healing. The romance is slow and tender, making every small moment between Bree and Archer feel meaningful. Despite the darkness in both characters' pasts, the story is ultimately about overcoming pain and finding love, making it incredibly rewarding.

    Strengths
    ✔ Unique & Memorable Hero – Archer stands out in the romance genre as a hero who is kind, vulnerable, and different from the usual alpha males.
    ✔ Slow-Burn & Deeply Emotional Romance – The relationship develops naturally, making it feel genuine and deeply moving.
    ✔ Themes of Healing & Acceptance – The novel beautifully explores overcoming trauma, self-worth, and the power of love in healing wounds.
    ✔ Strong Character Growth – Both Bree and Archer undergo significant emotional journeys that feel realistic and fulfilling.

    Potential Weaknesses
    ✘ Pacing Can Be Slow – The slow-burn romance and introspective nature of the book may not appeal to readers who prefer fast-paced, high-drama stories.
    ✘ Some Predictable Elements – While the story is unique in many ways, certain plot points follow familiar romance tropes.

    Archer’s Voice is a beautifully written, emotionally rich romance that stays with you long after you finish reading. It’s a must-read for fans of slow-burn love stories with deeply wounded characters who find solace in each other. If you enjoyed books like Me Before You by Jojo Moyes or The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker, you’ll likely fall in love with Bree and Archer’s journey.

    This book was an emotional rollercoaster—especially toward the end! The way I was screaming, crying, and grinning all at once? Absolutely wild. I really enjoyed this story overall; it’s a solid, heartfelt read with a beautiful ending. The only thing that held me back from giving it five stars was the romance—it felt very fast, almost like insta-love, which isn’t really my thing. Still, despite that, I found it moving and memorable. A strong four stars from me!

    {I ACTUALLY PURCHASED THIS BOOK AND THIS REVIEW IS POSTED ON MY BLOG}

    Hero: 4.5/5
    Heroine: 4/5
    Storyline: 4/5
    Emotion: 5/5
    Sex: 4/5
    Unique: 4.5/5
    Other (supporting characters, editing, etc): 4/5

    I could not wait to read this book! Virtually no one, from the product reviews on Amazon to the Editor's reviews on Goodreads, gave this a bad review. I should clarify that I don't actually read any reviews. I just look at the star rating and skim for key phrases ("I could not put this down", "Interesting storyline", "Hot, hot, hot", etc.) I find that many book reviews today are basically book reports. Someone feels the need to go chapter by chapter, almost line for line and tell you what has already been written. Spoiler city. And one of my biggest pet peeves.

    However, I still managed to build up quite a bit of anticipation based on the little snippets I read about Archer's Voice. Here's why I was excited:

    - The hero is NOT an alpha male.
    - The hero has a disability.
    - The sex scenes would be graphic but not gratuitous.
    - It might be a tearjerker.
    - It's a classic, beautifully written love story.
    - It is a standalone novel.

    So, was I disappointed? Not even. I read this book in just a few hours and felt a sense of completion that I find lacking in most books I read today. It used to be that a book had a beginning, a middle, and an end. Maybe a prologue and/or epilogue was thrown in as a bonus but, for the most part, every single thing you could want from a story was contained between the first and last words. Even in a series. Books may have been related but each individual story was complete.

    That is not the case these days. More often than not, authors either leave you hanging to manipulate you into buying another book or just have a hard time closing all of the loops. I must congratulate Sheridan because for the first time in a long time, I finished a book, gave a quick nod and wave to the characters, and sent them up to the imaginary world that houses the thousands of stories I've read in my life. I can release them. Sure, I'll think of them fondly from time to time. But they don't need me anymore. That is a great feeling.

    All of the things I was anticipating about proved true. I am soooooo tired of naive pathetic young women having to be saved by big strong alpha male. It is very difficult to write about a naive alpha male. But Sheridan did a great job with that. Also, I speak fluent sign language and know from my own feeble attempts that it is very, very difficult to write signed dialogue since the language is not spoken aloud. Not only did Sheridan make this work brilliantly, but she also touched on some real issues people with communication disorders face, namely dealing with the protection of oneself and others. These two things give the novel a fresh, unique perspective.

    The relationship between Archer and Bree was one of the best that I've seen unfold (the chips, the jokes, gah!) The characters were fairly well written. Clearly, Sheridan herself had more of a connection with Archer as he was the most defined. I liked Bree a lot, however I had a hard time understanding why she was relating to people the way she did. I couldn't understand what on earth drew her to Archer in the first place (given what she'd just experienced, it doesn't make sense that she'd be so open to scary looking, strange acting men that everyone was scarring her away from). Also, I never fully got what the deal was with her friends from home. They could have been left out of the novel. The other supporting characters were a bit one-denominational and stereotypical but I did like that no one came off like a caricature. Travis wasn't all bad. Archer wasn't all good. There were also random people that didn't need to be in there (the woman stopped Bree to discuss Archer's mother, the man who threw the New Year's Eve party, the sisters, Melanie and Liza could have been one person, as could the old women Anne and Maggie).

    One of the aspects I liked the best was because of the inexperience of the hero, the sex scenes were all different. As he learned and changed, the dynamics changed and that was a great departure from the stories about all these sex gods running around. Sheridan built up the perfect amount of anticipation and the progress of their relationship seemed very natural.

    Perhaps, too natural? Most of the book seemed very realistic to me. But real-life is boring. Thus, I did find myself skimming about 5% of the book. At times it was a little slow. In fact, I found that when Archer and Bree were't together, I didn't care at all about what they were doing.

    Also, I have a little bit of an issue with using flashbacks as a storytelling vehicle. Especially if a character is flashing back to their childhood. Our childhood memories are usually very skewed and certainly do not include verbatim dialogue or reference to things like the time of day. Human brains just don't work that way. It makes more sense to me when a story literally jumps back and forth between different time periods. Not when the characters are actually musing over critical life events with unrealistic clarity.

    The climatic scene at the end was a little forced to me. Everything wrapped up a little too neatly, too quickly. But because of the realistic pace of the rest of the novel, it didn't bother me so much (the alternative was to have it drag on and on and... well... no.)

    My negative takeaways are really just nitpicky. All in all, I really enjoyed this book. I like that the author challenged herself to write a different kind of hero and even took the time to incorporate the difficulty of the disability. I like the world these guys lived in. And the ultimate message at the end was a poignant as an Aesop fable moral. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great romance and delights in the underdog story. It may not be your most-absolute-favorite book of all time but you certainly won't be disappointed.

    OVERALL RATING: 4.5/5

    5.0 out of 5 stars 5 HUGE STARS FOR ARCHER & BREE!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Oh wow. Thank you to everybody who insisted, over and over, that I read this beautiful book!

    5 HUGE STARS FOR ARCHER & BREE!

    'You brought the silence,
    The most beautiful sound I’d ever heard.'

    Archer Hale is a mute. He is a recluse, a hermit, an odd-ball. The people of Pelion mostly ignore him, sometimes they whisper and he just keeps his head down and avoids the world outside of his home grounds as much as possible. But his back-story is a tragic one and his scars, internally and externally are raw and painful.
    Bree Prescott is running away from her home, her memories, her loss. When she finds herself in the small, peaceful town of Pelion, she can’t help but be intrigued by the strange, unkempt silent man that is shrouded in mystery.

    'I had never actually seen an eight-pack, but there it was, right in front of me. I guessed that even slightly strange, silent hermits weren’t exempt from exceptional physiques. Good for him.'

    This story is absolutely stunning. I loved every second of it.
    For those of you who, like me, haven’t read the rest of the 'Sign of Love' series, don’t let that deter you. This is a stand-alone novel and you absolutely do not need to read the other books first. However, having read this, I do definitely want to read more of Mia Sheridan’s work!
    So many people have sent me the name of this book, recommending I read it, and I totally get why. It’s emotive, thought-provoking, beautiful, sweet, humorous, well written… just everything that a contemporary romance should be. I have a million and one quotes from this book that I want to share.
    Bree is a brilliant protagonist. We learn very early on that she is running from some kind of trauma, and her home town of Ohio. But she is still brave and independent and trying to build a life for herself.
    I loved that she was so great with Archer. She is curious and kind, yet persistent when he is really quite rude, initially. She isn’t deterred or offended, it just makes her curiouser. Bree is the kind of female lead I would want to be friends with. She is gentle and loyal, she isn’t dramatic or high-maintenance. She is just really nice and unassuming.

    'I don’t know enough to dream you, Bree, but somehow you came true anyway.'

    I loved her interactions with Archer, the way they communicate through sign language, the fact that despite Archer’s lack of voice, they still manage to develop their own little inside jokes, quips and idiosyncrasies.

    ‘What’s on your happy list?’

    Archer. Oh, goodness. Where do I start?? Archer is a complex, deep, intelligent, character. I absolutely adored Archer Hale. Everything about him. There was nothing I would have changed about him. He fascinated me. I wanted to find out his story. And then as things began to unfold, I completely fell in love with him.

    'I couldn’t have known that Archer Hale existed somewhere in this crazy world, and that he had been made just for me.
    And in that moment, I knew. I was falling in love with the beautiful, silent man staring down at me. If I hadn’t already fallen.'

    Things we take for granted were totally new and a huge deal for Archer, and I loved witnessing him discovering the real world.

    'You’re here.
    I’m here for you.'

    Archer has had barely any contact with other people since he was a child, and so, obviously is very ‘inexperienced’. *wink-wink-nudge-nudge* And as things begin to develop between Archer and Bree my heart just melted entirely. He is so cute, and endearing beyond measure. I can’t even explain to you just how delightful some of the scenes in this book are, as Archer begins to learn how to be a man. I was grinning like a fool. Honestly, I just wanted to scoop him up and keep him in my pocket. He is a fantastic mix of masculine virility and intense vulnerability and naivety. Did I mention I loved him??? *hand heart*

    'I felt him smile against my skin, but he didn’t raise his head and he didn’t attempt to move, his body laying half on me, and half on the bed so I wasn’t being crushed.
    “Hey,” I said softly, “you alive there?”
    I felt another slow grin against my neck and then he shook his head, no.
    I laughed softly and his head came up, a sweet smile on his face.'

    I absolutely adored this scene. ^^^
    Bree is patient and sensitive as she teaches and guides him, and Archer is most certainly a fast learner. But the innocence of him is just deliriously charming.

    'I’m in love with you to. I am so desperately in love with you. Is it enough, Bree?'

    The sexual chemistry between these two will burn you right up! There are a couple of scenes that are just so sensual I thought I was going to have to put my Kindle down for a moment to compose myself. I think it’s because Archer is on such a journey of self-discover, or Bree-discovery, in some cases, lol. But something about the interactions between these two is just beyond sexy.

    'He smiled back and put his lips against mine, mouthing, “I love you, too,” against my mouth, as if he was breathing love into my body.'

    You can really feel the connection between Bree and Archer. I love books where you can just feel the palpable love between your two pain characters within every single word on the page. I love it when you can believe in that love and invest your heart and your mind in their story. That is definitely what you get with Archer’s Voice.

    'I knew I loved her – fiercely and with every part of my heart, even the broken parts, even the parts that felt unworthy and without value. And maybe those parts most of all.'

    As the story progresses, the author gradually drip feeds us small snippets of information from both Bree’s past and Archer’s. The book is well paced, the characters are well developed, the surrounding cast all play their parts and everything just comes together perfectly. The plot is unique, engaging and superbly executed. I didn’t want to put it down. It’s a story of reaching out, stepping outside of your comfort zone, running away from one thing and finding something beautiful in the process. Of understanding, of listening, of speaking the language of the heart.

    “God, that’s sexy,” Melanie said. “It’s like you two are talking dirty right out in the open.”
    Archer smiled over at her and I laughed. I shook my head. “Maybe you two should learn sign so you can join us.” I grinned.'

    So, before I wrap this up, I just thought I’d reiterate, incase you didn’t catch it before…I LOVE Archer Hale. I love him to my bones. I love everything about him. I love that he is unsure, yet brave. I love that he is clueless, yet extremely intelligent. I love that he is terrified, yet strong. I love that he doesn’t know how to love, yet he loves Bree more than life itself. He is a walking dichotomy of the most delicious, irresistible kind and I highly recommend that you read this unforgettable book!

    “It’s like, the second I saw him, my life started.”
