Here With Me (The Archer Brothers Book 1)

I really enjoyed this book! I've read other books by this author that I really liked and gave this series a try. There's a slight mystery going on through the whole book and it just about drove me nuts. This book kept me reading and I couldn't wait until I was able to read the second book. This was a good book to read on a snowy afternoon. I definitely recommend this book!

I loved this story. I enjoyed the flashbacks and getting to learn about Evan and Rylee's relationship from beginning to what Rylee thought was the end. I love children and dogs in books. They add to the real factor. I don't have a grasp of Nate and Evan's relationship, but I can feel for him. How do you go from being fiance to brother in law and from dad to uncle in a moment? I'm excited to see how their story resolves.

I never had any doubts about this book being amazing! Heidi has s way of weaving deep characters into an amazing plotline and just a hands down incredibly deep story that will have you going through an emotional roller coaster till the last page.

A part of me is rooting for Ryley and Evan's story to end happily, but I'm not going to give away the ending but there is another story that needs to be told. Nate's.

For the love of God Heidi McLaughlin!! This story should automatically come with the release date for book 2, Choose Me!! This book is so well written and I love the dual POV. I want an Evan Archer all for myself, yum!!! I can't wait to see how this tragic story plays out and I'm crossing my fingers that a certain someone was NOT aware of what was playing out. #TeamEvanForever<3!!!

I almost did not read this book because the story line sounded so predictable. With that being said, I like the format and the story sucked me in. I liked hearing the couples point of views the way they were presented. Who has ever thought how would my life be different if I were with the one that got away? Well this book has proved that all kinds of things can lead to why a persons life is the way it has turned out to be.

I really really tried holding off reading this book, only because from certain reviews their was goin to be a part 2 but not right away and like most readers I don't like waiting LoL
But I couldn't resist!

This book is goin to blow you away. Such a mystery, it's in intense, passionate, cuute!
You won't be disappointed, but just by having to wait for the next book, which I'm anxiously waiting for!

I love, love, loved this book! The passion, emotions, and heart-ache were incredibly developed. I loved all the characters. I got this book when it was offered for free, and I rarely pay for kindle books, but as soon as I read the final page of this book, I HAD to buy the 2nd book in the series. That book was great as well :) .

Will capture your interest (and feelings) immediately. I had to have her second book so I could find the answers left unanswered in this one. Very heart wrenching and so close to home with our service men and women. Well done!

Wow! Ms. McLaughlin had me from the first paragraph! I was pulled in completely by Ryley and Evan's story! Heartbreak, confusion, conspiracy, suspense, drama, keeping you on edge. I love the Beaumont series, but the Archer Brothers series has grabbed my heart! Ms. McLaughlin is an awesome writer! Be prepared and have tissues on hand! Don't miss this book!

I love military books.. I've been a military wife for 6 years & I just love books I can relate to. This one was fantastic. Characters were amazing.. Story was well written.. Major cliffy so be prepared for that. Only complaint was the errors but I'm a stickler for that. Definitely need to step up the proofreading. Other than that, another amazing read by an incredible author.

This series came HIGHLY recommended to me a few months before book 3 came out. I'm always skeptical of new authors so I only bought this one to start. As soon as I finished it I one-clicked Choose Me and started it right away. Fabulous series. Now I HIGHLY recommend it.

Sweet holy hell!! I am in love with Evan Archer!! I did not think it was possible to love one of Heidi's characters as much as I love my boy Harrison but Evan. Oh Evan. Nothing hotter than a man in uniform who fights for his family. Although I am excited to read Nate's side of the story I will be rooting for Evan and Ryley. Their love is too perfect for it not to work out with them.

I hate cliffhangers.. It is so annoying to me. Just like books in book stores are almost a thing of the past, so are complete story lines. There are so many cliffhangers that it's hard to keep them in order. I wish these authors were more true to themselves and not this ridiculous practice of a thousand books to tell one story, but make lots of money in the process. I stopped reading several series because I refuse to let this industry keep laughing at us"

All that being said, I like this author's style and the story. I hope I remember the characters and the circumstances surrounding when the second book comes out.

Heidi McLaughlin had me from the beginning of this book. The love that Ryley and Evan have for each other is beautiful and real. My heart broke at what they went through during this book. I can't wait to see how they over come the wrongs that have been done to them. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Heidi does not disappoint.

I started this book at 3 this morning and finished 10 minutes ago. I couldn't put it down!!! I am Team Evan all the way. Rascall Flatt's song, " what hurts the most" came to mind while I read this book. I laughed, cried and felt anger for the heartache these families had to deal with. Wow...just wow!!! This was an awesome read!! I can't wait for "Choose Me!"

I'm not really into military romances and tend to stay clear of them. But I love Heidi's books so I clearly bought it for her name only. I've held off on reading it because I really though I would not enjoy it. I'm so happy to be wrong! Poor Rylee!! It has to be the hardest thing someone can go through and honestly I have no idea how book 2 will go. I'm looking forward to reading it now and finding out the answer though!

Start of the series so there are some unanswered question but the story is good. You do have to stretch your imagination a bit with the Seal's 6 year long disappearance but the conflict between the characters in this love triangle will keep you interested.

Oh man!!! I need book two... like immediately... gimme... gimme... gimme!
This is a love triangle that had me second guessing my emotions all the way through the book. And, just when I thought I had decided whose side to be on... the ending had me back to square one and doubting my decision. This story is different from your typical love triangle scenario... It's laced with real emotions, confusion and mystery.
This is not a stand alone and even though I'm not a huge fan of cliffhangers, this story has captivated me and has me on the edge of my seat. The emotions that Ryley and Evan experience with the shock of his return were very well written and had me quickly turning the pages. There truly are no winners in this scenario... but, you want everyone to win. I have no idea what I would do if I were in Ryley's position. An emotional roller coaster indeed!
I can't wait for the story to get to the nitty gritty of the why and how in regards to the mystery behind what happened to Evan and his SEAL team. The author only barely scratched the surface of that part of the story which is why I'm on the edge of my seat! Seriously... I can't wait for book two...

The story and characters drew me in from the beginning. A different story with lots of questions. The kind of story where you won't want to put it down. Granted you won't have all your questions answered, we have to wait for the next book, but I want to keep going. Can't wait to start the next book!

Not a fan of romance novels talking about romance novels in the narrative. Found a few typos. One example: "that is where we will meat . . . " they were picnics discussed in the book, but not then. Not a fan of the same old same old... met in high school, but are perfect for each other . . . everyone is beautiful, handsome, perfect body, great hair, sweet, caring, but don't know it. Sometimes it is nice if the people are real.

Such a great book, full of emotion, heartbreak, and intrigue. I love how the author introduced the storyline for the first half of the book from the meetings with the therapist, I thought it was unique. I can't wait for book 2; did the brother really know? Was the father somehow involved? Can't wait!

The story is just a wonderful read. The heartbreak is just so obvious from both Evan and Riley's point of view. Throw in the mystery of Evan's SEAL teams disappearance and the unknown of what will happen when Nate returns, this book offers everything a book reader loves!

I absolutely could not put this book down. I finished in one day. You could feel the love between Evan and Ryley. This emotional as well as a mystery as to what happened to Evan. I can't wait to see what happens when Choose me comes out next. Another amazing story by Heidi.

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS - I know I'm in the minority here, everyone seems to LOVE this series, and even after my indifference to this book I purchased the second book assuming it had to get better. Not really. Interesting premise though - twin boys, both become Navy Seals, Ryley was deeply in love with Evan & pregnant with his baby when Evan went off to war only to be told he died. She had to regroup & move on with her life to support little EJ. Evan's twin brother Nate was more than willing to be the man to help her. We don't get Nate's side of the story in this first installment & he is really painted black, swooping in to take over Evan's life after his death - only, surprise surprise, Evan is very much alive & on Ryley's doorstep! Ryley is the first to describe her life, a fairy tale romance with a murder mystery twist. The book starts out so strong with a lot of promise - Ryley has a terrible reaction to seeing Evan, of course she would, she thought he was dead. So a friend recommends counseling, separately and later together. We learn the Evan & Ryley magical love story - hot, passionate, all-consuming, explosive, real soul mate stuff. "I'm going to fight for my family and I'll do it dirty if I have to. Your body sings for me, I felt it when I sat down next to you." So when Evan utters these words I am anxiously awaiting more passion. But the book is a dud in my opinion. Ryley can't give over to her attraction for Evan because she is engaged to Nate. She has to rethink all of her feelings & the book rehashes every emotion over & over again. There is a mystery element because no one knew Evan & his team were coming home, there is no media acknowledgment which is very unusual for boys that are literally coming back from the dead. And Evan though Ryley was communicating with him the entire time he was stuck serving the Navy. Evan has strong hatred for Nate, believing he knew that Evan was alive & still stole his life right out from under him. Again, so much promise here but it doesn't deliver on the story which drags or on the heat of Evan & Ryley's passion.

I was in heaven after reading the first page! This was my first Heidi McLaughlin read, and it won't be my last! The story was so gripping, I finished it in one day! I cannot wait to continue the story of Ryley, Nate, and Evan in Choose Me.

Wow.. This was my favorite by far from Heidi McLaughlin and that's saying a lot because I love all of her writing. These Archer boys will make you swoon, laugh, cry and tie your stomach in knots with worry. It's a defiant must read.

I love Evan Archer and I feel his anger throughout this book. He is the victim in all of this and how devastating it must feel for your son to look at your brother. I highly suggest this book. I could not get enough of it.

Here with me was beautiful, crazy, and gut-wrenching. My heart actually hurt sometimes reading it and I cried a few times. But, it was also amazing. It was written very well and the sequel is fantastic!!
