Arch
All you need is that one person who understands! Sinclair was just what the doctor ordered without a prescription! Arch was in need of some respite care from a life filled with drama at every turn. Sinclair had the rest she needed, the trust and love in one place away from the crowd. This story was short and covered topics without leaving the reader wondering! Nice and tight just like I like a good snack that satisfies!!!

Arch is a love story that is beautiful through and through, from the cover to the last page. Archer Hall Santana (Arch) is an award-winning singer, who on the surface, seems to have it going on but deep down she is hurting and drowning in the darkness and loneliness that haunts her to the core of her soul. She meets Sinclair Cooper (Sin), who is shooting a documentary to tell her story. In telling her story, he sees beyond the glamour and lights. He sees her hurt and pain. Feeling a connection and a linking to his past, Sin feels he must help Arch. He is determined to aid her in facing her inner demons while pulling her inner being and beauty to the forefront.
Sinclair is fine and sexy, mixed with just enough weakness and vulnerability, that his strength and love balance out what they share. He is just what Arch needs to help find her happy place, believe in herself and desire to want her soul and heart to be set free. She yearns for the truth of who she is and a sense of freedom but is unsure how to do it without ending it all. With Sin, he gives her the freedom to be; not whom others think she is or should be but to be her authentic self. They both find security in each other and a trust that allows them to share their deep and most hidden secrets that leads to a growing bond that is fireworks.
Deborah Fletcher Mello does a wonderful job connecting you with the characters. Arch is written in such a way that the characters are real and relatable, touching on subject matters that are thought to be sensitive by some. She brings awareness to these issues in such a beautiful and breathtaking way, which has you rooting for Archer, life, and true unconditional love. Throughout Arch, she gives you a front and center picture that leaves you with no choice but to turn the page in want of more. I absolutely love Archer and Sinclair’s story. This is one short story that I did not want to end!

Wonderful
I loved this story. A coming of age story but also taking control of your own destiny is the themes. Two beautiful people getting to know each other at the same time while conquering demons. Arch and Sin were beautiful and made for one another. I can see a possible spinoff or two from this but don't forget to pick up this book and give it a read. Ms Deborah's books do not disappoint.

A bad child hood can lead to both a successful professional and personal life. You need the right people and the right help to achieve success personally.
Great short story. Like several other authors, I own all of Mello's works. I love her writing style, the little bits of everyday reality and some comedic expressions in her works.

I am not normally a short story reader, but Wow Arch was great. From the first scene Ms Mello draws you into something unexpected in a romance story. Was Arch what Sin needed or was Sin what Arch needed...No spoilers......Bravo Deborah Mello

Awesome
This book had me spelled bound. I couldn't put it down. What a great love story. I wanted more, but I was okay with the ending. It would be nice for a book two. Just a thought

Excellent novella by Deborah Fletcher Mello. From the beginning I sensed that Sin and Arch were kindred spirits. While he's gathering information to tell her story, it forces him to deal with his own demons. This was enlightening and sensual, loved it!

Touching story loved the way Sin never gave up on Arch. Wish there would have been more about certain aspects of the story .

I have always enjoyed ALL of author, Deborah Mello's books!!! This was unlike any other. She gave us the downside, then she showed us how love ruled in favor for Arch and Sinclair. Truly a none-stopper reader.
