Archer’s Voice is one of the most touching and exquisitely written stories I have had the pleasure of reading. The author did an incredible job of evoking powerful emotions while providing striking visuals. This breathtaking story of survival, healing, and unconditional love should be on every romance reader’s reading list.
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.

Archer's Voice is the story of a woman chained to the memory of one horrifying night and the man whose love is the key to her freedom. It is the story of a silent man who lives with an excruciating wound and the woman who helps him find his voice. It is the story of suffering, fate, and the transformative power of love.
Archer’s Voice is the first book in the Where Love Meets Destiny series. It’s also my first experience with Mia Sheridan’s work. The story hidden in the pages was sweet, low on angst, and heartbreaking, but it left me feeling good in the end.
I was hooked from the start, and soon I was invested in the story and Bree and Archer’s lives. This demonstrated the brilliance of the author’s writing style.
Archer, although not the typical romance hero, is someone readers will have no problem falling in love with. Mysterious, silent, broken, withdrawn, protective, misunderstood, and caring are words one could use to describe Archer’s persona. He endured so much pain and loss in the twenty-three years of his life. In the midst of all the pain, he presented a brave front. I enjoyed seeing him grow as the story developed.
Bree is a brave and compassionate woman. She, too, experienced her share of loss and pain. An experience that saw her leaving home for a small town in Maine. She never expected to find hope, peace, and, most of all, love.
As individuals, they were great, and together, they made a beautiful couple. Their romance gives the reader all the feels. Slow burn with lots of heat. Everything about their relationship, from their first meeting to their friendship and subsequent romance, felt authentic. I loved that Bree never took advantage of his naiveté, and she gave him space to become a better version of himself. The manner in which Archer cared for Bree will have die-hard romance readers swooning.
While the story focused mainly on the romance, it also had some suspenseful moments that occurred near the end. A moment where my heart leapt to my throat. However, it all worked out, and the story ended on a beautiful and happy note.
Archer’s Voice delivered a story of hope and healing. Love has the power to heal, it brings hope and changes lives, and Archer’s Voice aptly demonstrated this. If you haven’t read this book, then I urge you to do so as soon as possible.
