I want to know what it feels like to be intimately entwined with someone so pure and true as her. I want to feel her warmth against my frigidness, get lost in the soft, silky feel of her skin and hold her as if she’s mine for the keeping.
This book right here is my favorite of the ”Stroked” series so far! Actually, I’m going to label this one of my most favorite Meghan Quinn stories! Everything about Bodi and Ruby’s romance was perfect. I laughed so freaking hard and cried so many tears when things turned heartbreaking for this amazing couple. Once you find out about Bodi’s biggest loss which was the end result of a terrifying experience, he becomes this broken Hero that you can’t help but fall madly in love with. And Ruby, wow, she was such a funny, quirky, loveable, and socially awkward Heroine that I instantly wanted to be BFF’s with. I loved her silliness. When Meghan Quinn lets her special brand of humor fly, it's pure joy for me!!
I’m sorry that I didn’t read this when it first came out but am so incredibly happy that I finally got around to it! What a beautiful, funny, and heartbreaking story!!
Every now and then a book comes along that completely reaffirms why I love reading! Archer's Voice has definitely been added to that growing list of books for me! I love stories that completely satisfy the hopeless romantic in me. It is because of these books that any man I meet will never measure up!! LOL
I love a story about people who have been broken somehow, usually by a heartbreaking tragedy, and it's the love of that one special person that breathes life back into them. The unconditional love that heals the pain of the past. This is that story of love that completely touched my heart. I found myself getting choked up during many passages. Even now, as I think about this story I am filled with so many emotions.
Bree Prescott is a young woman whose lost so much for only being 23 years old. She's arrived at Pelion with her little dog, Phoebe, and a few of her belongings. Looking to start a new life. She gets herself a cute lakeside cabin, and soon lands a job as a waitress at the local diner. One night she accidentally runs into the town loner, Archer Hale. He's got long hair, and a scraggly beard, and looks out of sorts but something about him pulls Bree in. She soon learns he is mute. He lost his voice during a car accident when he was a young boy. This tugs on her heart as her recently deceased father was deaf.
She tries to reach out to Archer. I loved this character. She didn't judge Archer by his appearance. Bree could see the beauty that was within him and of course once he shaved and got a hair cut, it was evident that the beauty wasn't only inside the man. It takes time to break through Archer's wall of protectiveness because he's never been shown true kindness from others except from his late Mother and Uncle Nate. He's been ignored by the entire town since his accident when he was seven. Slowly the friendship turns into something more. Archer and Bree are very much attracted to each other and hell if Archer isn't the sexiest virgin I've ever read about!! He is one fast learner!! He quickly picks up on how to satisfy Bree!!
Archer has a jack ass of a cousin, Travis, who also has a thing for Bree. He'll do some things that will make you want to jump into the book and kick him in the nuts!! I definitely was yelling at certain parts and my heart broke for Archer. He had been living the life of a recluse for so long. It was a huge challenge for him to go out into society, but he did try for Bree.
Bree is also fighting her own demons of the past but Archer's love and support helps her overcome them. But even though she helps to bring him out of his shell, somehow Archer fears his love for Bree will end up suffocating her. He's lost everyone that he has ever loved and is scared to death of losing Bree.
Well I just about bawled again at this part. This was just so damn beautiful to me. That he loved her so much he truly would wither and die if anything took her away from him! He would literally die from a broken heart.
There has only ever been you. There. Will. Only. Ever. Be. You. ~ Archer
There are some painful moments of angst in this story. I didn't think my heart could take it, but then Bree and Archer spend this beautiful night together and I'm thinking thank God the angst is over. But then, BAM, something ends up happening and I just about had heart failure and my rating was going to drop from a Five Star to a Two Star for this book!! I was screaming..NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Wow!! I just ended up really freaking LOVING this story...SO MUCH!! My Bestie usually ends her reviews with a "PlayList", and I think that's so cool, but I'm not really good at picking songs to go with a story. I actually heard a song today that I thought was perfect for Archer and Bree ~ Where You Are by Gavin DeGraw.
Mia Sheridan, you are going on my top fave authors list!! I loved Leo and Leo's Chance, but, I am over the moon in love with Archer's Voice!!!

Sometimes, you don't even realize anything is wrong until someone comes along and changes you, and makes you want more. In my case, it was a beautiful girl with a plan who shattered the world I thought I knew.
I'm beginning to believe that Mia Sheridan can do no wrong, and I am NOT complaining!! After reading and falling madly in love with Archer's Voice, I declared Ms. Sheridan to be on my top fave authors list! I feel pretty secure in saying that when I pick up a book by this author, I'm going to experience all the FEELS that I love when I'm reading a truly amazing book!
Stinger was simply FABULOUS!!!!
Grace Hamilton and Carson Stinger are both spending the weekend at the Bellagio in Las Vegas for two VERY different conventions. Grace is attending a law student conference and Carson, "Straight Male Performer", is attending an Adult Entertainment Expo. These two come from different worlds and seem to be polar opposites. Their first meeting in the hotel lobby doesn't go off very well. Then fate lends a hand when they both get stuck in an elevator together for several hours. Grace learns that there's more to Carson than his occupation as a porn star, and that underneath his cocky exterior, there is a man whose been dealt a shitty hand during his childhood. Carson finds himself drawn to Grace. She gives off the impression that she is cold and uptight. She has her life plan all mapped out. She never does anything on a whim, but Carson sees a light in her that is itching to break free.
When Grace reveals that she's only slept with one man, and that her plan is to have sex with one more before she gets married in a few years, Carson offers up his services for the weekend. Grace is apprehensive at first but after spending hours trapped in an elevator with Carson, she too finds herself drawn to him. What's not to like? The man is GORGEOUS and can fulfill all her sexual fantasies!!!
You would think that these two would be having wild sex while swinging from a chandelier or in public bathrooms and alleyways, but that was not the case. While the sex to me, was incredibly HOT, it was also very intimate and beautiful. Grace and Carson were falling for each other. It is obvious to us readers, but these two are oblivious at the moment. They're both dreading when they will have to say goodbye and go their separate ways.
The time spent apart was what caused the unbearable angst for me. I was screaming with every passing chapter. Years were flying by and these two remained separated. Carson has been deeply affected by his time with Grace, and he ends up making a life changing decision which made him even sexier! He also has affected Grace and she ends up changing some of her life plans. I was sad though, over all that time they had spent apart, and one particular moment in D.C., had me in tears!!!
FOUR AND A HALF YEARS later, Grace and Carson see each other again in Vegas. Turns out they're both living there. Grace is an attorney and Carson is the head of Security at a casino. A murder investigation brings these two together. Grace and Carson are still very much into each other but there are circumstances that keep them from reuniting. You know that there will be challenges thrown their way but ultimately an HEA is on the horizon. I LOVED how it all came together and let's just say that 4 1/2 years of NO SEX means when these two get together there will be panties melting everywhere. I may have had to change a pair or two myself!! The Epilogue was perfection and had my heart doing somersaults!!
I'm kicking myself for not getting to this story sooner. For years I promised that I was going to find the time to read it, and am *****FIVE STARS*****
