Thank you Abby and Dreamscape for the ALC!

I loved this book series and was thrilled to have the opportunity to listen to it on audio. I really enjoyed the narration and revisiting the story in this format!

I listened to the audio to this and let me tell you you don’t want to miss it. The voice actors are great and really bring the characters to life.

We pick up straight after the cliff hanger of book 2, and the guys are doing everything they can to find Hunter.

We get loads of steamy scenes and some more emotional ones as well as another new guy to add to the group.

That cliffhanger though!! OMG i can’t wait for the next book.

#Review: *So Rare* - Abby Millsaps - ALC [21+]
4.5/5✨
3.5/5🌶️

I was glad to return to this 'Boy Of Chappelle' series.💕 Thank you so much Valentine Pr for offering me the chance to listen this book.

This is the 3rd book of the series and continues from where it was left at the end of the previous one. Hunter disappeared without trace and now the boys, Greedy, Levy and Kabir, are doing their best to work together to find her and bring her home safe. Little did they know who was the person that kidnapped her.

We had the chance to see how the boys were getting along without Hunter being present and how well they united for the woman they loved. Of course, there were many steamy parts, which derailed a bit from the tension of Hunter's disappearance.

On the other side, Hunter has gone through hell and was again going through a traumatizing moment. All her dark thoughts were coming back and made Hunter's job pretty hard in overcoming her traumas. That's why she needed the love of all those three man. Or should I say four?🤭 Each of them brought to light a different side of Hunter and soothe her.

First of all, I need to say that I was super happy to see my country being mentioned in this book and a Romanian word (mamaia - grandmother). The new addition of this story, Sione, had relatives from Romania and called his grandma, mamaia. He was another strong personality, which also brought to light another side of Hunter and was the one who tried to help her with some of her health problems. Also, the two of them shared a really, really hot moment, which kind of remained in my brain😅.

It was so easy to get back into this story, even though it passed some time since I read the 2nd part. I liked the relationship between all of them and how much passion and protectiveness was present there. Again, the ending has left me in a cliffhanger and, of course, I'm now extremely curious about the 4th book!😮

Narrators: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Story: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This audiobook is told in multiple POVs. Each POV is told from a separate narrator. This audiobook was also in dual narration. Given that there are so many POVs, I do wish it was in duet because it would have made things easier differentiating each character but after a while you start to catch on. All the narrators (June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, Keval Shah and Julio Maxwell) did a pretty great job.

This book is the third book in the series. It's not a standalone, so you must read the first two in order to understand what is happening. I was hooked from the first book. This book follows Hunter and her men. So far we were introduced to Greedy, Levi, and Spence in the last book. We also start up where we left off when she is missing. The boys are determined to find her. Once they've gotten their girl back, they're already coming up with game plans to one up Magnolia (Hunter's mom). But it's not going to be an easy road. While searching for Hunter though, we start getting introduced to the last of the men. The other books switch between the past and the present when introducing each new man and this book is no different. We start learning about Hunter and Sione's relationship.

This series is addicting. And each time it ends on a cliffhanger I want to pull my hair out. I am desperate to find out what happens. Especially with that bombshell we were given at the end. It has been so interesting watching how this group grows and how they build their relationships in this harem. I have to say that out of all the boys I think Levi is my favorite. But the others are not far behind. Each brings their own flare that just adds to the group. And while Sione is new in it, he fits in so seamlessly. He so calm too its hard not to love him. I'm also loving the different representations (hetero, bi, pan, and demisexual). I honestly can rave on and on about each member of this group for days so I'll move on.

Magnolia is a bitch. There's no other way to say it. She is a narcissist to her core and this book proved it 10x more. I don't know how Greedy's dad is so naive to this and its honestly been pissing me off. She barely has been around him during their marriage and he sees the hurt she's caused Hunter and he remains intentionally oblivious.

I can't wait to see what happens next. I'm salivating for the next book and to see where this story leads and how this group handles the oncoming obstacles. I just need book 4 to come out already! 😭

Thank you Netgalley for the ALC!

SO RARE
An angsty, steamy, why choose, second chance romance from bestselling author Abby Millsaps was perfection!

Narrated by:
June DeBorahae; J. River Pierce; Liam Dicosimo; Keval Shah and Julio Maxwell
these guys did a fantastic performance bringing all the emotions and excitement of this story to incredible heights!
New Addition to the cast of narrators Julio Maxwell certainly rose to the occasion as the new love interest we didn’t know existed.. he was utter perfection in every aspect of the story!

Definitely 💯 recommend this series!
5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️for sure!
4.🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. so worth it and maybe more !
10🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️Lord these guys did their thing in this story.. and Julio Maxwell the new addition was absolutely fantastic!


**. 🩷. **
But holy smokes.. this one picked up immediately from the last book So Real where all the guys started freaking out that their girl ran away from them…(yeah she’s a known runner and a track star for sure)
Meanwhile Greedy and Levi learnt a couple things they didn’t know about their girl from Spencer ..
and holy smokes, Levi wasn’t handling it too well that it inadvertently drew out a side of Greedy I was kinda hoping for but was shocked by nonetheless and trust me when I say it was so scorching hot!
Whew lord the boys were on fire they ate the whole flame and was spewing fire!!
**🩷**
Yup Abby Millsaps brought out the hulk in Levi who was incredible,the good boy in Greedy who wanted to please on his knees and the very extra dirty in the filthy British Spencer!

But hold up …. The way how these guys eventually got together to find their girl had me waking up my household with loud screams! ..and don’t even get me started on how she desperately needed to be rescued.

But wait..Listen up… when the 4th lover turned up .. I was literally gasping .. this guy was so sweet even when Levi was hulking out .. yup Sion took calm to another level and was just as hot and dirty feral for his girl like the rest of the Guys.
**🩷**
Yeah this girl was done Running.. and with her guys all by her side and Pissed, Magnolia St. Clair may just get what she truly deserves for being the monster she is..because Spencer will stop at nothing to protect what’s his and right now they all are his every single one of them!


**🩷**🤍**
I choose them:

Greedy—my first love and deepest heartbreak.
Levi—my not-so-fake boyfriend and personal ray of sunshine.
Spence—my dominating, steadfast lover.
Sione—my soul match and saving grace.

**🤍*🩷**
Magnolia St. Clair is a worthy opponent, but she’s no match for the British billionaire who will stop at nothing to protect what’s his.

No more running.

It’s time to stay and fight, and to reclaim the happily ever after we all deserve.
**🩷*🤍**


O.M.G… the bombshell at the end .. now I’m just crawling out of my skin with impatience for the next one!

But listennnn….. this Audiobook was sooo good in my ear .. I had to pause a beat to catch my breath because yup … so good these narrators were perfection!
My only complaint was that it wasn’t Duet Dual narration….i just wanted a multi cast version where everyone narrated their scene but hey this version was pretty fantastic as they brought the emotions and characters to life!

First things first, you need to read this trilogy in order. Start with So Wrong and then So Real. It will make more sense and will be a way better experience if you read it that way, trust me!

I started reading Abby’s books just over a year ago and have really enjoyed falling in love with her words, her characters and the worlds she creates. It’s been such a welcoming distraction and a way to get out of my head and away from all the drama in the world at the moment and jump into all the drama into her books! That drama is definitely drama I don’t mind having in my life!

In book three of Boys of South Chapel, So Real it seems as though Hunter can’t seem to escape from her past. Another one of her former boys shows up unexpectedly. She can’t seem to catch a break. All she wants is to move forward and grow with her men, establishing and strengthening bonds between them all and it seems impossible with ghosts from her past and meddling mothers keep popping up and trying to insert themselves into her life. She just wants them to back off.

I have to say that this book is probably the most emotional one so far. We get to witness more of Hunter healing from the trauma she’s been through. There’s also a new guy, Sione. He seems perfect. He fits in well. They both seem to balance each other out and that is something Hunter needs right now. He becomes extremely important to her and he seems to be patient and kind and supportive, helping her through her journey.

With Sione being added into the mix, there is a shift in the group but it’s not a bad thing. They seem to be opening up to each other, talking and trusting one another. It’s amazing to read.

The spicy was top-tier, as was the banter. I laughed, I cried and I swooned throughout this book. I am more in love than I was before I started reading this if that’s even possible!

I’m not going to dive in any deeper because I’ll give what book three holds away and I honestly think you need to go into the book… the series blind. I will say that this book has triggers, it pushes boundaries and it will grab hold of your heart and likely smash it into pieces before she gives it back.

And then you have the cliffhanger…. Gah!

Honestly, Abby Millsaps is ruthless, especially when it comes to her cliffhangers. It makes me love her book even more.

Perfection. This book was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this!!

Abby Millsaps has done it again! This book is was filled with so much love & emotion! It’s a multifaceted storyline that continues on from So Wrong & So Real, and it kept me intrigued and excited throughout each chapter.

This Boys of South Chapel series is one of a kind! I haven’t read another why choose series or standalone that has been anywhere near this heavily plot-based. You definitely get more than just amazing spice with these books… but also, the spice is *chef’s kiss*!

Thank you to Abby Millsaps, Valentine PR, & NetGalley for the chance to listen to & review this ALC.

Book four better start out by saying PSYCH! Not that I’m totally opposed to this trope but I’m hoping it’s more just for thickening the plot.
This is the third book in the series and another guy who was never mentioned before was added. It seems messy. But I can dig it. I also felt very confused again at the beginning of the book. It took me almost three pages to remember how book two ended.
And lastly I really just want to slap her mother.
Thank you NetGalley for the alc

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

- Review posted to Goodreads, BookBub, and TheStoryGraph on 2/13/25

~~

4⭐

“You were worth it. You are worth it. Through this moment and every lifetime we have yet to live, I will wait.” 🥺

~~

Abby Millsaps is quickly becoming a comfort author of mine! I can always count on her to serve super steamy, ultra satisfying reads that warm my heart and melt my panties off 😇 Each book of hers that I devour, I come out of them with this sense of peace I didn’t even realize I’d lacked before. A big part of that is her brutally honest showcasing of mental health. Another part is her writing style- fast-paced, well-balanced, a little angsty, a lot emotional, and so very delicious.

So Rare is book 3 in Abby’s Boys of South Chapel series and must be read or listened to in order. The story picks up right where things are left off in So Real. We’re introduced to another yummy gentleman who serves as a beacon of hope for Hunter. I was curious how Sione would fit into the mix, but with the short glimpses of Hunter and Sione’s time together in Italy, it’s so clear how essential they are for grounding one another. The spiritual connection we see is quite remarkable. I do wish we would have gotten even more of his backstory, though. Out of all the characters, I feel he is the least developed. Perhaps that comes with him just being introduced in the third story, and maybe I’ll change my mind once the series continues further. We shall see!

I can always count on Abby to suck me in with her words, but I was absolutely blown away by the sheer talent of this cast of narrators. Hunter and her guys come from all different backgrounds, and I couldn’t wait to hear each narrator take on several different accents and dialects. Each did so in a way that never once irked me, diverted my attention, or left me confused on who was speaking. With so many characters in the mix, that’s wildly impressive. June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, Keval Shah, Julio Maxwell… Yall deserve this BIGGEST round of applause for bringing this story to life so effortlessly. Bravo!!

Here’s why you’ll love So Rare in audio:
💎 Why Choose
💎 Multi POV
💎 Incredibly Talented Narrators
💎 Now and Then Timeline
💎 Rescue Mission Road Trip
💎 Only One Bed
💎 Retrograde Amnesia

alc review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|🌶️🌶️🌶️

(this review mostly on the audiobook and not the book itself although the rating for both is the same)

First off I already absolutely love this series, the characters and their story and ‘So Rare’, the book itself, was sooo good. The audiobook made the experience even better. Each of the main character have their own narrators. The narrators did an amazing job and it was fun to hear the characters different accents. I would definitely recommend listening to the audiobook, it made the book even more enjoyable than it already was.

Thank you so much for the alc!!

I think this is not for me... I enjoyed the first two in the book but how this one ended I just don't think is for me anymore. I enjoyed our FMC in the first two books but she is starting to get on my nerves. The boys are also getting to be too much. The audiobook was good and I really enjoyed the narrators and they truly brought the story to life but I just can't do it anymore...

So Rare (Boys of South Chapel #3) is a why choose romance. I’m finding it a bit harder to like this series. I love Greedy and Levi, along with their building relationship with Hunter. I feel that the other characters have been unnecessary, and I don’t feel the same connection with them and Hunter. While the drama and intense chemistry has been enjoyable, I think this series is continuing longer than what is necessary. I’m really hoping things turn around for Hunter and that she receives the ever after she deserves.

June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, Keval Shah and Julio Maxwell really did a great job portraying these characters. Their narration was fun and entertaining.

3.5 Stars
So Rare is the third book in the Boys of South Chapel Series. It is a why choose, second chance romance. I enjoyed the ever evolving dynamic between these characters and how loyal they are to Hunter. It was a quick, angsty, steamy read, however I am finding that this series is being drug out to long. I hoe we finally get an HEA in book #4.

June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, Keval Shah, and Julio Maxwell did a good job portraying these characters.

RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥💥

The audio of this is absolutely fantastic.

This series is shaping up to actually wreck my life and I love it. This book is flawless, and if you have not read the first two yet, go do that now because this fantastic series needs to be read in order.

💜 Why Choose with multiple dynamics
💜 Friends to Lovers
💜 Dominant English Billionaire
💜 A Rescue Mission
💜 Then and Now Timeline
💜 Golden Boy MMC
💜 He Falls First

Because of that fact I don’t want to give much away so what I will say is this: Abby brought joy, emotion, spice and the whole damn rollercoaster out to play with this book.

The first two books brought us through the hard part of the journey and while this book had its hard moments and themes, what you get is a sense of hope and belonging.

As a Spence girlie from page 1, my boy shows some absolute growth and I DARE you to dislike him after that. I love him the most.

Greedy gets his moment. You will know it the second you read it and you will melt into a puddle of goo and heart eyes. I promise.

Levi activated brat mode and the results of that are 😮‍💨 The Moon Mist hotel can tell some stories after our boys visit.

Sione fits in beautifully and if you doubt his inclusion before you read this, you won’t after. I promise. He is a soul child and they need him.

Hunter deserves every hug we can give her. Her growth comes full circle and this woman is fierce and I love her.

The last line of this book will make you scream. That’s it, if you’ve read Abby you expect it, and it’s a banger.

I sat down to read this and didn’t move until I had devoured it! It’s fantastic and I am rabid for more.

Book: So Rare
Author: Abby Millsaps
Rating: 4 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

This series is one of those series, where each book is so wild and unexpected! I always go in thinking it's going to be this feel good, why choose, good time .. and it always has so much amazing drama.

We meet another one of the FMC's boys in this one .. supposedly the last, but we will see! 😅

I love the diversity in this series/book. I enjoy that every character is so different and special in their own way, but they all love and respect each other. It's beautiful to read about!

You get:
• Contemporary Romance
• Spicy
• Why Choose
• PMD Representation
• Suspense
• Toxic Family/Drama
• Past Trauma

I'm really excited for the next one! Available on KU, ebook, paperback, and audiobook.

Thank you for this audiobook! I really enjoyed it. Abby has a way to make a series feel so fun and so emotional. The narrators did a fabulous job making this book come to life. Can't wait for the next one!

This is book 3 of 4 of this amazing series, these need to be read in order. The story continues fore Greedy, Levi, Spencer and Hunter. This book picks right up from Hunter going missing and what the boys have to go through to get her back. Spence really steps up in this book and takes over (and for the first times I like him as a character). And then new boy Sione, another boy from Hunters past from the time she was in Europe, is brought in to the story. I cant wait for the final book in the series to come to audio to finish the series out.

Once again all the narrators do an amazing job bringing this book to life and keeping it interesting all thought out the story..

unfortunately this audiobook/narrators was not my cup of tea!! I loved the first 2 books in this series so once I stopped listening to the audiobook and decided to eyeball read I really enjoyed it!! I love the dynamic between all the characters and can wait to see how this series ends!!

This book was already perfect, and the audiobook elevated it that much further! The narrators were incredible and pulled me into the book with such ease. I'm an audiobook snob, so if the voices aren't just right, it pulls me from the story, but with this audiobook? No notes. Just perfection.

As for the book itself?...

One thing to never underestimate from Abby? Her ability to slay you with a cliffhanger. And damn, did this one deliver?!?

First things first: I just fall more and more in love with Hunter with each and every book, over the course of Joey’s books, through to her own, she has been such an interesting and relatable character to get inside of the head of, and seeing her attachment issues with the guys and how she has is working through them to actually build something with them is such a well written storyline.

The guys’ dynamics with each other is so fun because they’ve really gone head first into this relationship with both Hunter, as well as themselves but in a way that feels so natural and authentic

Now, Hunter’s mom? Nah that b- is evil and she’s gotta go!

As for that ending… book four can’t get here fast enough!

I loved this next installment in the series, and this was my first in the series listening on audiobook! I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, and thought the narration was fabulous! The MMC's voices were distinct enough where I wasn't super confused, and the voices matched the characters so well. While the storyline is a bit out there and unrealistic, I enjoy it for that very reason! It is a fun experience, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next installment.
