What on earth was this cliffhanger ??? I need book two straight away!
It took me a few chapters to actually get in the story, but I truly enjoyed it and loved the characters, story, plot twists!!!

I was DELIGHTED when I got the ALC for this and was even more tickled by the story. One thing I love about young love stories is that chest tightening butterflies feeling you get - it just reminds you of having soul altering crushes and requited love. One thing I 𝑢𝑠𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 don't like about young love stories is the lack of dick, but that wasn't the case with this one! It was the best of both worlds 🦋+🍆. Overall it was a good pace, very digestible, great swoony feelings, good spice, and ends on a cliffhanger that has me very eager for the next book! This series is looking like it might be book trophy material 🏆

I had the pleasure of meeting Abby at an event and truly loved her vibe. Which is exactly why I picked up the ALC.

I am not usually a contemporary reader, and can't remember my last sports romance. But Abby did such an amazing job at crafting characters that are to die for. Her writing is flawless and she executes chemistry so well. I fell in love with them in both the past and the present.

The dual time line kept me intrigued throughout the whole book. It had the perfect amount of spice.

The only thing that crushed me was the cliffhanger - but, it just makes the wait for book 2 so much better.

This was a difficult book for me to rate. Some parts I thought were really great and cute and other parts really didn't do it for me. I found this book particularly hard to get into. Some of the interactions/emotions/reactions felt a bit forced. I'm choosing to believe there was an edit of this story where this angst was justified but in this version it felt unjustified based on the information given to the reader. I think there were ways that details and insight could have been added throughout to help us identify with the characters a bit better.

I was originally really excited to read this book because I'm typically a fan of why choose and forbidden romance plots. But it just wasn't quite there. I also really struggle with cliff hangers. I feel like books with cliff hangers need to have a big warning label. I would have preferred to have read it as a complete series in that case. Based on my so-so enjoyment of the book, I'm unsure if I'll be returning for the second installment of the Boys of South Chapel series.

I sat with this book for a bit because I was unsure how to rate it. Ultimately, I give this book a 3/5 star rating because it was just okay. Either I felt lost in the sludge or it simply didn't resonate with me. Dual timeline books are really hard to get right and this one just missed the mark for me.

4⭐, 3🌶️

Okay I'm hooked! This is my first book by Abby and I really enjoyed it! I loved the Then and Now POV's giving us their high school and college perspectives. I was genuinely interested in the storyline and how this story is going to keep going! Everything going on with all the toxic family members and secrets had me scattered and confused at times, but after re-reading certain portions of the book I think I got it all figured out! I am excited for book #2

Soo, I liked the narrators for Greedy, Levi, and Hunter – but Hunter and Greedy’s narrators gave Levi a heavy accent, when Levi’s narrator didn’t, and the inconsistency drove me a little crazy.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an ALC of this book in exchange for my honest review

I read this when it first released so I was so excited to listen to the audio version. The narrators were amazing! I am obsessed with this series! Thank you so much for the audiobook!

Greedy is nothing to me nowadays. He has to be nothing."
This is my first time listening this audiobook by this author Abby Millsaps. And she didn’t disappoint.. she gave me a story that drew out my frustrations gave me angst and had me reeling with lust when these characters connected.
The juxtaposition between the past and the present. The angst the building into the present,The characters. The romance. The spice.And the phenomenal narrations by
June DeBorahae; J. River Pierce; Liam Dicosimo was freaking worth listening!


Ok, while I’m here frustrated, let’s get to it.

Greedy Levi and Hunter
"I hate hurting him, but I have to hate him…

We follow Hunter Greedy and Levi in the past and present, to get an insight into their history while reading about their present which adds to the story,
Hunter is trying to do what she believes is best. But holy hell who for though?….And her reasons are honestly frustrating and unfair and might be oh so cruel in my opinion.
Greedy and Levi both have this pull towards this girl, but Greedy knew instantly that she’s THE ONLY ONE for him. There will be no other.

Let me say this.. Greedy love for Hunter is all consuming and heartwarming, this guy would give her the world and agree to anything just to make her happy and as long as he could just be with her ..

While I understand the circumstances surrounding that unfortunate incident, and the bad timing of the announcement of that viper of a mother, I thought it was still no excuse for Hunter not to let Greedy know what was going on with her.. What they lost after what they shared .. I’m just not convinced that she did the right thing here .
and don’t get me started on the whole situation with her and Levi.

"Eyes on me, Daisy. I want to watch my girlfriend's face when I make her come for the first time."

I cannot wait to see how this story goes on. These characters (and new ones) and this plot. The secrets and the romance. Ugh!

"She wants to forget. All I want to do is make her remember."

Assumptions is the MF of all things .. Hunter really assumed that Greedy and her weren’t on the same page . The way how she handled the situation is bad .. I am finding it hard to understand this girl. She slammed the door in his face,she shut him down and gave him no choice in the matter plus on top of it she was being unnecessarily cruel.
Yet Greedy love for her was unwavering.
She is just like her mother.. there I dare say it! (Although I’m yet to learn more about that woman’s cruelty)
But I don’t think whatever the case or reason, Greedy needs to be told the truth.

“You want to know what’s a living hell .. the pain of living in same house and not being able to hold you would be a living hell “

She made an emotional decision then and continues to even now with tons of secrets to be revealed!
Three years this guy was in the dark… three freaking years of yearning of longing of loving this girl!

"She wants to forget. All I want to do is make her remember."

What the actual Fudge !!
If Im Greedy i would be mad pissed confused and frustrated as hell !
Whyyyy is Hunter making this so freaking haaaardddd!
Ugh! This story is unbelievable.. I kinda could get past this when they were teens but damn it to hell , enough with the past crap and now there’s another dude coming out of the wood work!
ABBI MILLISAPS..my first book by this author and I’ve never been so frustrated and worked up…And to end it like she did .. no. Words

I cannot wait to see how this story goes. Who the Hell is this English Dude that knows everything about her secret and Greedy.?!
Officially hooked !

I really enjoyed this story! The narrators were great, but the southern accent of the MMC was going in and out and this threw me off a little, but overall a great book!

I just love Abby and her dynamics for her characters. She writes fantastic situations and sensations and this was done so well with angst and tension. The audio brought all that to my ears in a great way.

I had a hard time getting into this one. It read like high school/YA with spice. The voices were even juvenile. I didn’t care about the characters. But it was an interesting concept.

So Wrong - Abby Millsaps

This book was super weird. Hunter and Greedy (yes that’s their names) meet and begin to fall for each other. When Hunter's mother introduces her to her new fiance…. Greedy’s father… Things change for her. She runs. He stays and they are thrown back together when their friend Levi gets injured playing football.

It’s weird because I don’t understand Hunter’s rationale for anything she does. Greedy literally doesn’t move on and wants her so bad it made me cringe but I couldn’t stop listening. I am also now impatiently waiting for book 2 to see what happens next, especially after Greedy get’s hit with that bombshell.

It was well written and it's going to be one of those series I will love to hate.

4 stars

64% in and I just couldn't do it.

My goodness, I really pushed myself to finish this and I just couldn't.

I wanted to like this book so bad. I just couldn't connect with anyone. I didn't care what was going on, I couldn't focus on the story or the characters. It's just a big nope from me.

DNF 64%.

Overall I wasn't feeling the story. It felt rushed. The narration was good though. I do kind of want to read the next book to see if the story can pan out and redeem itself.

Overall it was ok but I got easily lost listening to the audiobook with 3 POVs and dual timelines. It just wasn't for me.

The characters seemed one dimensional at times and the progression of the relationships felt fake. I didn't really like any of the characters.

It definitely was not what I expected and honestly I don't think I will be reading anymore from this series.

This was a read that I rated 4 ⭐️ right after finishing it. The more I think about it after the fact, the more I downgrade my rating. I’m standing by my 4 ⭐️ since that’s how I felt at the time. I enjoyed my time with this book. I found it entertaining and interesting in the moment. In reflection, details don’t line up for me. I understand the big picture but wouldn’t be able to explain details to anyone asking about it. Even some of the spice was confusing - I still don’t get the logistics of the truck situation - I know what was supposed to be happening but can’t figure out how it happened. I think this book is a fun time but wouldn’t recommend it if you’re really into details.

The narration was okay. My gripe was that whomever narrated Levi’s character wasn’t my favorite. The southern accent didn’t seem authentic, and it irked me throughout the listen.

Thank you NetGalley, Abby Millsaps, and Dreamscape Media for this audiobook ARC.

I went into this book totally blind and I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the storyline and the backstory. There are chapters from all three of the main character's viewpoints and I thought it added so much to have all of these perspectives. It's the start of a series so I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes. I listened to the audiobook and the Southern drawl was a bit overdone, but otherwise an enjoyable listen.

Hunter, Greedy and Levi have been friendssince forever but seperated from each other and when Hunter come back home and Levi is hurt and hiding a secret and Hunter pretend to be his girlfriends and Hunter having feelings for Greedy things get complicated for the trio. it alsobend in a clifhanger and check TW before reading there a lot of hard topic in this book.

What a fun story. Great narrator. It made the story unfold and feel like watching a show. I loved the fast pace as well. The chemistry and tone for what is to come was perfection

DNF. The accents on audio were driving me insane and the characters were too immature. I could not finish this book and would not recommend it.

This is my first Abby Millsaps book and it certainly won't be my last. The story kept my attention and I definitely didn't know where things were going. I do need Hunter to be kinder to Greedy in book two because I am 1000% a Greedy stan. He needs to be protected. This book was messy but in the best way. And that cliffhanger will have you confused and reaching for book two asap!
