You will fall in love with this small town and a lovely mix of people. Travis just dumped his grilled friend after walking in on her cheating. Now he is done with women for awhile but he can’t get over a women he pulled over on the road. Her car was so full of dead plants she couldn’t see and was driving like a drunk person. Haven from California has been traveling for a long time running away so she can’t get hurt again. When she got pulled over by the handsome chief of police Travis, she loved his humor and they started a friendship from there. Through lots of bumps in the road Travis is finally ready to get what he wants, which is Haven. Will they make it through together? I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to review this book.

This book starts following the bonus epilogue of Archer’s Voice. Travis works to deal with his past discretions and move forward with the person he wants to become. Haven is escaping her past memories only planting roots anywhere in a very literal way. An unlikely friendship is formed between the town bachelor and the crazy plant lady. These two are looking for the simple and easy but it nothing can ever stay simple and easy forever.

I absolutely loved this book. Even in Archer’s Voice, I could understand some of the hurt Travis had to be feeling even though I did not condone his actions. It was beautiful to watch Travis really begin to understand his emotions and not let them control his actions. I absolutely hated his mother in the first story but I hate her even more now. My heart breaks for the little boy who was told he was never enough. The character growth from both characters was phenomenal and so proud of Travis.

Reviewed for NetGalley:

Written in the same world as Sheridan's Archer, Travis focuses on the title character, Archer's police chief brother.

After finding his girlfriend in a compromising position, Travis shortly thereafter meets new small town transport, lover of all plants, Haven.

Sweet story, although I always find the "things we do for love" overly grand as shown in the ending.

This was a really good reception story. I can admit I didn't like Travis in Archer's story, so I wasn't entirely sure how I would feel like this book. I was pleasantly surprised, and my feelings toward Travis had changed.
I enjoyed the banter between Travis and Haven, as well as, the glimpses of Archer and Bree.
Much like Archer's Voice (which needs to be read first) this story is so well written and the pacing is great.
I'm excited to read more by Mia!

Thank you to NetGalley and Mia for this opportunity!

This was a beautiful follow-up to Archer's story. This follows Travis's story, taking place after Archer and Bree's story ends. It includes appearances from both Archer and Bree, and there's some heartfelt brother rekindling that happens as well.

Definitely recommend if you loved Archer's Voice and want more of it.

Mia Sheridan's writing is beautiful and meaningful and the depth of the characters she creates is amazing.

Okay I will start with this, I didn’t think I would, but I now love Travis (if you read Archer’s voice you know why I would think I wouldn’t).

And secondly I hated The MFC Haven, she started out fine but the whole Gage thing made me dislike her so much that nothing could really redeem her after that. Because now she’s not just breaking one guys heart, she’s playing with another mans feelings- one that the book stated multiple times is a very nice man- ( for no reason- she didn’t like this guy- however much she internalized). Also her whole attitude when Travis ex showed up - SHE SLEPT WITH HAVEN’S BROTHER, WHY ARE YOU BEING STUPID? HES NOT TAKING HER BACK- and started talking about how Travis is going to end up with a beautiful girl - either his ex or someone similarly beautiful but not her- after he spilled his feelings out to her.

NO JUST NO. I have to stop talking about HAVEN because I hated her character. I loved basically everyone else in the book, even the ex who cheated on Travis had some character development.

Now on to the things I liked, Travis, His journey to redemption was nothing short of remarkable and left a lasting impression on me. I have a weakness for stories that revolve around the redemption of a flawed character, especially when it is a misunderstood villain.
I highly recommend this book solely for the captivating arc of Travis' journey towards redemption. I did however find him a bit stupid by giving away legit EVERYTHING HE OWNED to the BROTHER of the women he loves, however that is just my personal opinion. On a positive note, I relished the opportunity to delve deeper into Bree and Archer's relationship, and was left wanting to revisit their story again in future. The heartwarming scenes between Archer, Bree, and their children, as well as Travis' interactions with them, only furthered my affection for this book.

Despite my overall enjoyment of the book, I found myself unable to fully admire the main female character (MFC). Only the most talented authors can captivate me with their writing and yet leave me feeling conflicted about a character. Nevertheless, I eagerly anticipate reading a book featuring EASTON as the main protagonist. His multifaceted personality and unpredictable qualities truly fascinate me and add depth to his character.

I was fortunate enough to have received an Advanced Review Copy (ARC) from NetGallery, in exchange for providing an authentic and unbiased review of the material.

I loved Archer's voice so I was super excited to see that Travis had a spin off book. Honestly Travis was a villain in the other book but wow did this redeem him. He was a great book bf. I do wish that we had seen a bit more of their relationship getting to know each other because I feel like they had their first morning with the plants and then it skipped a bunch in between. Loved the parts with Archer and Bree, it felt like coming home to old friends. Im excited to see where this series goes.

Sexy, heartbreaking, and just amazing! New author for me and was happily surprised with how much I liked this genre! Would recommend!

Honestly the best quote I had to include the whole thing!

“Maybe the terrible truth about love is that when it’s gone, it leaves a hole in your heart so big it feels like nothing will ever fill it. The idea of risking again feels fatal. A human being can’t possibly lose that much of themselves and still survive. And so you try desperately to fill it with things that never quite do the job. Things that sometimes hurt other people,”


⭐️: 3.5/5
🌶️: 🌶️/5

Aaaah this had some much potential yall 😩 and I wanted to absolutely looooove it so bad but I just didn’t. I couldn’t get past how terrible Travis was to Archer in Archer’s Voice 😅 I didn’t love the instalove Haven and Travis had. And I knew that some big end it all, thing was coming because duh it always does and the big thing that happened was not big at all. It was so anticlimactic. I found myself saying, “oh? that’s it?” Like that was so dramatic for what? The best part of the book was the last two chapters and the epilogue. I’m a sucker for a HEA!

I did love Travis’ character growth & but don’t love how he came to it. I feel like that letter shouldn’t have been the thing that made him own up to his mistakes and grow from them. He’s an adult & the chief of police, that should have been enough.

I'm giving this a 3.5 because I loved seeing archer and Bree and their kids as often as we did and loved the ending but overall this wasn’t my fav.


✨Thank you to Mía Sheridan, NetGalley and Bloom Books for this ARC of Travis by Mia Sheridan in exchange for an honest review.✨

I absolutely loved Archer's Voice, so I had to give Travis a shot to see if he could redeem himself. He definitely did! I enjoyed looking into Archer and Bree's future, getting to know and love Travis, hearing his story, and understanding his pain and healing journey. I would give this 3.5 stars overall. I enjoyed Acher's Voice more, however, if you enjoyed that book, I highly encourage you to pick this one up too, and revisit Pelion and its residents.

I enjoyed reading Archer’s Voice a couple years ago and I saw this sequel up on NetGalley because it got re-edited and released with a different publishing company (despite it’s original 2021 pub date) so I figured, why not?!

Turns out, this book follows Archer’s brother, Travis, a few years later. I was excited to read about him. Especially because we hate him so much in book 1. I couldn’t wait for his redemption arc. It ended up being a very emotional inner monologue heavy book.

The premise sounded really good but I ended up being so bored. It was just meh. I think if you feel VERY invested into Pelion, Maine and the Hales (Archer’s Voice universe), read this one. You’ll enjoy it. But I wanted so much more. It was too predictable for my tastes. I wasn’t invested in the main characters at all.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book. The way I devoured this book in TWO days was so unexpected! I loved Archer's Voice and didn't know there was a sequel until I got this one in my inbox. I immediately dropped everything I was reading to start it. If you loved Archer's Voice, you will LOVE this one just as much. Its a small-town, friends to lovers story about Archer's brother Travis. It was nice to read his story and also get the other perspective from Travis of what happened in Archer's Voice. Readers will love and devour it.

I didn’t originally think I’d like Travis or this read after reading Archers voice, but boy was I wrong. I didn’t end up just liking him, I loved reading about both him and Haven. Travis was totally redeemed by the end and the overall book showed so much character development for both him and Haven. I definitely got in my feels for this one towards the end (you’ll know exactly what I’m referring to when you get there) but I loved it. I can’t wait to read more from Mia Sheridan.

This book is being reissued so I snagged an ARC. I used to read Mia Sheridan and somewhere along the way I stopped. I need to go back to her books. She writes about two people with issues and has them fall in love and heal. That is the type of contemporary romances that I love. This is sort of a continuation of Archer's Voice, but I read that so long ago that I don't remember much about it, but this is now Travis' story, who is Archer's brother. In this one, Haven is just staying for the summer in Travis' town. She and her brother are running from something and they won't stay in one area for too long. Don't form attachments or get close to anyone. Travis is the chief of police and he has just gotten out of a relationship so dating is not in the cards right now. But what about a summer fling? It could be good for both of them. No strings. Obviously they fall in love but then what?

-"But she made me want to become the man she deserved. She made me braver and stronger. Because of her, I wanted to be the best version of myself. And that, I think, is what love does, if it's really love."

-I deserved to have dreams. And how would they ever come true if I wasn't willing to stop, face my past, and then move on, unencumbered, into my future?

Second Best? No, he’s truly the Chief.
Dual POV. MMC/FMC. First Person. Medium Spice.
If you read “Archer’s Voice” then you remember Travis as Archer’s resentful and quite unkind half-brother battling his over-the-top sibling jealousy. In this book, 8 years have passed and Travis is the MMC. He has mended his relationship with Archer and he appears to have moved passed his animosity.

Since childhood Travis has believed he is second best. As a son, brother, boyfriend, and by the townspeople. Travis believes he is not worthy.

Travis meets Haven and they become friends despite her quirkiness and him not being a big fan of her brother. Haven convinces Travis to help her win over her crush. However, things get complicated between the two of them. Travis feels more than friendship towards her. In addition, he continues to battle his demons of past manipulation from people he thought had his best interest.

Sheridan develops Travis in a way that conveys his likeability, maturity, and growth that is believably through the pages. Much like “Archer’s Voice”, “Travis” will be in my re-read pile.

Different than I expected, this was a decent read though. There is a slow burn romance and lots of quirky town characters. Would love to read more about the older residents and such. Looking forward to more in this series.

I loved this and loved seeing Travis's point of view! He really made such a good and whole come back, the redemption was perfect.

Archer’s Voice was one of my favorite books that I read in 2022, so I was very excited to be given an ARC of Travis! Travis was not a likable character when he was introduced in Archer’s Voice, but the deeper we went into his backstory the more invested in Travis I became.
While this book was not as compelling of a read as some of the author’s other works, I did enjoy the romance between Travis and Haven and happily read their story. There was a decent amount of steam in this book too! Overall it was a quick, emotional read that gave us more insight into some new characters and revisited other characters that we know and love.

So many people (including me) raved about Archer’s Voice and fell in love with Archer, but what about Travis, the stepbrother who gave Archer a hard time? I was elated to learn Ms Sheridan would be writing a book devoted to him, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. This was a wonderful story that totally redeemed Travis in my eyes. He was so relatable, just a real person with chinks in his armor but such a good heart. Haven wasn’t my favorite heroine, but you know what? It didn’t matter because Travis himself made this book well worth the time I spent reading it.

Mia Sheridan is back with a character that was in Archer's Voice. This character wasn't a likeable one in AV but she does a really good job at making him one in this book! He was the villian that turned hero!

Travis has some serious abandonment issues, from being left by his father, manipulated by his mother he has a lot going on. But this book shows that just like the rest of us, he is just longing for something more for his life. I had a mixture of feelings about Haven that made me really confused. Overall this was an alright book for me.

I loved the little glimpses we got of Archer and Bree! I am excited for more books in this series.
