'Synopsis'
Travis Hale has it all. An important role as the sheriff of the idyllic town of Pelion, Maine. Looks that regularly and consistently make women fall at his feet. Two nephews and a niece he adores, and a family who’s mostly forgiven him after a series of unfortunate decisions years before. Perhaps his past is riddled with regrets and misguided choices, but his future looks bright and limitless.
Until the new guy in town crosses him in a way both shocking and indefensible.
A guy who, as it turns out, has a sister who may be equally as disastrous to Travis’s well-ordered plans, though in an altogether different manner. Not that there’s any real risk of him falling for the smoothie-making, birdseed-eating wild woman. She’s not even his type. A plant lady from California with a head of unruly curls and an equally messy past. More than that, she’s only in town for the summer, busy mooning over perfect-in-every-way Gage Buchanan.
And if Travis knows anything, it’s that he refuses to be second best. Ever again.
Haven Torres’s life fell apart. Or more to the point, it burned to the ground. At the time, it seemed like a solid idea to jump in her car, her brother a mostly-willing co-pilot, and embark on a cross-country adventure.
When they land jobs at an exclusive tennis and golf club in a picturesque lake town in Maine, Haven’s hopeful it might prove a summer to remember. Especially if she can catch the attention of the most eligible bachelor in town and her current crush. Even the kindest, most upstanding, perfect of men aren’t opposed to summer flings, right?
But when she meets the local sheriff—all swagger and arrogance—and learns of her brother’s scandalous misdeed, she knows that Pelion is just another town where their stay is best . . . short-lived. Still, she and Travis strike up an unlikely friendship and Haven sees that the gorgeous lawman isn’t only easy on the eyes, but he has . . . layers. Not that she’s going to peel any of them. He’s only her friend. A friend willing to scratch her back, if she scratches his.
It seems simple enough. She’ll help him make her brother sweat a little. And he’ll help her win over Gage. But before either Travis or Haven knows it, simple turns complicated, friendship gets flipped on its ear, passion faces down perfection, and they both discover that sometimes you have to lose it all to find exactly what you need.

'My Review'
'TRAVIS'
Is the first full length romance book in the series 'PELION LAKE', by Mia Sheridan. Spoken in 'Dual Perspectives.'
So when Mia mentioned a new book, I jumped up and down, then to find out we’ve already met him in Archer’s voice, off I went to re-read only to find out that I kind of don’t like him! 🤣🙌🙊 God he was a 🤬 to Archer! But that was when they were younger and then that one incident he kind of did change a small bit towards the end.
And in this book Travis completely redeems himself! Mia made Travis come alive, real, raw, such an emotional heart felt story, I understand him so much better, my heart goes out to that seven year old boy, all along thinking he was unwanted, unloveable, which is far from the truth! All the stars, all the feels. I loved going back into the world where we’d all fallen in love with Archer seven years ago. This book was everything and more!
I laughed, I swooned, I fell in love, this had me randomly giggling from front to back I sat there with a silly grin on my face, this book was perfect and I can not wait to see whats going to come at us next.
It all started with twenty-three year old Haven Torres from Los Angeles passing through Pelion Lake for the summer with her troublesome brother Easton, running from a ghost of a past, Chief Travis Hale (related to Archer) pulls her over for nearly swiping out his patrol car because she had a car load of plants obscuring her view of the road.
This isn't the last time these two meet, she's the smoothie maker at the exclusive golf and tennis club Travis frequents, then when Travis' accommodation rental floods the only place available is at 'The Yellow Trellis Inn' run by 'Batty Betty' where it seems it accommodates a few misfits whom partake in drinking hooch on the regular, and this is right where Haven and her brother are also staying.
She's definitely not someone he would normally go for but there's something about her which pulls him in.

I was planning to re-read Archer's story like you did, but after reading your review (phenomenal btw), I think I'm going to give Travis a real chance. Instead of redeeming him, I want to kind of go in blind. Hopefully my experience is as amazing as yours obviously was!! 💜💜
ReplyDeleteI don't really think it's necessary to re-read Archer's voice, this starts off a few years after Archer's Voice.
