Book Review & GIVEAWAY - ARCHER’S VOICE by Mia Sheridan

When Bree Prescott arrives in the sleepy, lakeside town of Pelion, Maine, she hopes against hope that this is the place where she will finally find the peace she so desperately seeks. On her first day there, her life collides with Archer Hale, an isolated man who holds a secret agony of his own. A man no one else sees.

PEPPER & MICHELLE’S JOINT REVIEW

Disclaimer: We are obsessed with this book. We will try to make this review have some actual substance but there will probably be a lot of gushing and word vomit. Sorry. It’s just that good.

MICHELLE: I honestly think that this is the best book I have ever read. It is definitely the best book in the world of romance that I have read. And there are a lot of books that I love A LOT. But this book- if I gave out stars, I would give Archer’s Voice all the stars and throw in a few planets. It’s so fucking good. I can’t stand it. Like I just want to read it every day for the rest of my life til I die and never read anything else ever again. Not exaggerating.

PEPPER: Yes. There really is no way possible to make sense of how to rate this book. But like you said, it is - Definitely. By far. Easily. The best romance novel I have ever read. Hands down.

MICHELLE: I have loved everything that Mia Sheridan has written so far- I can admit that much.

But this book. This hero. This takes loving a book to a whole different level. I LIVED this book. It was beyond anything I had ever experienced in my past reading.

Archer will change everything you think you know about a “book boyfriend.”

PEPPER: I know. And I can’t even put Archer into “book boyfriend” category. He needs his own category. This entire book does. It’s like an experience. And I’ll be honest. I am not the type of person to be all flowery and touchy-feely about books. They are either really good or they aren’t. What happened to me when I read this book has pretty much never happened when I have read a book. Like, I’ve gotten choked up before in books, or my heart races, or I may have spilled a few tears. But I was, like you said, LIVING this book.

I know we talk about crying with books sometimes and how things can get a little crazy with our emotions. But after I read this I was giving the husband the low down on Archer and all things Mia Sheridan. And I just started bawling uncontrollably. And this is not normal. I literally had a melt down after this book. I was crying so hard that I was hiccuping and the hubs was like, “Hey, you haven’t missed any prozac doses have you?” I was a hot mess, like:

MICHELLE: LOL. I totally get it. I was all over the place with my emotions. There is a moment in this book where I am pretty sure my heart stopped. I actually gasped, grabbed my chest and had to stop for while. I was like:

Now, Mia, you know I love you- but that was downright dirty what you did. And you know what I am talking about woman.

PEPPER: OH MY GOD. I know. Remember my text? And the same thing happened to our best friend of the program too. At the exact same spot. It was awful. But how could we not forgive Mia after this thing of beauty?

MICHELLE: I know. It’s true. We still love our bestie. We will never stop.

So beyond Archer (as if there is anything really beyond Archer) you have Bree. I love Bree. Not just because she is strong and just wonderful in general. I think on her own she is a totally likeable character. But I actually think I love her because of how she is with Archer. This book is so well written that there are times where I feel like I am spying on a real life couple. Bree is an easy character to love and you are just right there with her as she navigates getting to know Archer in every way. And then you see Archer through her eyes and you fall in love. Right there. It happens.

And the way he loves her back., the way they love each other. I can’t handle how beautiful it is. The things they say to each other made my heart actually ache.

PEPPER: YES!! Although Archer is basically a god of some kind, without Bree this book would not have been as amazing as it was. I definitely don’t want to leave her out. Because without her, we wouldn’t really be able to see Archer or experience him the way we do. Everyone else ignores him. And that’s what makes HER so beautiful. Her unbridled compassion and lust and intrigue for him. It’s everything.

MICHELLE: It’s perfect. Bree is the perfect person for Archer and her ability to let us see Archer for what he is amazes me. I have to remind myself that these are characters in a book. But then they go off and say things like this:

“I love you so much it hurts… I’m afraid to love you. I’m afraid that you’ll leave and that I’ll go back to being alone again. Only it will be a hundred times worse because I’ll know what I’m missing. I can’t…” He sucked in a shaky breath. “ I want to be able to love you more than I fear losing you, and I don’t know how. Teach me, Bree. Please teach me. Don’t let me destroy this.”

Died.
Died.

PEPPER: God. It’s everything. The love they have for each other- amazing. Unlike anything I have ever read. 90% of the time we see couples playing hard to get until the bitter end. And we don’t mind that. Because we dig the angst! But dammit if it wasn’t perfection the way they had a relationship. Normally I would be like, Jesus, calm down girl-like when she runs to him and jumps in his arms in public but you are right there with her screaming like a crazy person. Like:

And as sweet as Archer is, Bree has her moments. You feel her love in her words- like when she calls Archer:

“my wounded healer, my beautiful Archer.”

MICHELLE: God yes. Swoon.

So, in case you were wondering, there are other characters in this book as well. Some you will love and some you will hate, probably more than you have ever hated anyone ever in a book. Ever.

PEPPER: OH
MY
GOD
How could I forget about that mother fucking asshole character?!
We will avoid saying names, but I had a visceral reaction toward at least one person in this book. It was insane how pissed I was.

MICHELLE: I agree. We will leave names out but just know that there is someone that we hated so much. They weren’t a traditional “villian” but this person was such a vile human being. Ugh.

I honestly feel like no review can do this book justice. I don’t know if we are convincing you of how amazing Archer and Bree are together. But this love that they have- it’s unlike anything I have ever read or even experienced. This is what I imagine a real true love to be like. Love so strong and so real that it is actually painful.

” There has only ever been you. There. Will. Only. Ever. Be. You.” -Archer

PEPPER: I just can’t. When he says stuff like that, and he says it a lot- I’m just done. Done.

Like I feel at a loss because you are right, there is nothing - even Mia Sheridan herself - can say to make a review of this book truly get the point across. Like you basically just need to stop reading our word vomit and get this book. Because you haven’t lived or experienced anything like it. So you will just be missing out.

MICHELLE: Mia Sheridan has already solidified her place in my heart as one of my favorite writers when she wrote Leo, Leo’s Chance and Stinger. But she just blew everyone our of the water with this. Archer is a different type of character that you have to experience yourself. But the way Mia writes him is damn beautiful I just can’t stand it.

PEPPER: Go and get this book. And have a brand new reading experience that we promise you have never had. That’s about all I can say. I don’t know what else to do. Or say. Like my husband wants to read it because I haven’t shut up about it for days. Just do me a favor and get the damn book. Thank you.

MICHELLE: Agreed. We promise you, you will never regret reading this book. It is beyond anything you have ever read or experienced.

PEPPER: PS. Hey Mia - We Mia you!!
