I got an audio copy of this book and truly enjoyed it. With having different narrator for each of the men and then Hunter really brought this book to life. Sione’s narrator had me swooning!!!

This was a very spicy why choose book in the Boys of south chapel series.

Just a few notes
✨ - [ ] THAT 🩸 SCENE WITH HUNTER AND SIONE 🥵😍😳
✨Absolutely adore Greedy and SIONE.
✨ Greedy was my favorite, I didn’t think the other guys could top him…. Enter SIONE. He’s definitely a keeper.
✨Magnolia is a freaking psychopath & I hope she gets what’s coming to her.



I absolutely love this series. I have been a die hard Greedy girl since So Wrong. He was willing to do any and everything for Hunter including switching around his entire life for her. I was so happy that he got more love throughout this book.
Levi has grown on me with time, but he’s definitely not my favorite. I was happy that he was able to really figure out himself in this book. He was able to really devote himself to Hunter all while forging out his true feelings to the other men in the group as well. My man was STRESSING in the beginning of the book.
In So Real I loved the European version of Spence, but I felt he had changed when they got to the U.S I am so happy that Spence is back to being that Brit that I know and love. The way he will move mountain for Hunter… ya know like buy an entire health and wellness retreat to save her.
I didn’t think I’d like a fourth guy and Greedy, Levi, and Spence were already a lot but I was pleasantly surprised by Sione. He met Hunter where she was and only is so darn devoted to her and only her. I loved that he took his knowledge to try and help her in any way he would think of with her PMDD. Hunter sure had lucked out with the men in her life. I also loved that even though he wasn’t interested in a relationship with the other guys, he knew they meant everything to Hunter and was willing to have her in any way he could even if that meant sharing her.

Hunter- man our girl has been through it but my goodness is she strong. She is one of my favorites FMC’s. Her character development and how she has learned and matured throughout this series has been amazing.

I’m hoping Greedy’s dad will come to his senses and realize how foul of a human Magnolia is. I’m sure Spence has something up his sleeve to really deal with her once and for all.

And that cliff hanger!?!?

I love everything about this series. So of course I jumped at the chance to listen to this audiobook! I LOVE how these narrators brought the story to life. And can anyone ever have too much Greedy?!

I love how the guys are slowly starting to come together. Working together to help Hunter regardless of their initial feelings toward each other. Sione is like a breath of fresh air to the group, helping to mellow out the alpha-energy.

Love love LOVE seeing Joey and her guys and how involved they are!! Spence and Kylian’s bromance! 😍

Our girl’s a fighter.”

“My first love. My boyfriend. My European lover. Now my other European lover. All here. All under one roof. Flovely.”

“Brat Mode has indeed been activated, and I fully intend to take care of that.”

June DeBorahae continues to be one of my favourite narrators; her performance as Hunter who I struggled a little to connect with in the earlier books has totally won me over! I prefer duet narration but all the narrators made each chapter their own and it was pretty seemless considering the amount of POV's and dialogue between multiple characters in some chapters. All the narrators have some pretty heavy themes to explore in their performances but there is still plenty of humour. Levi telling Hunter about him and Greedy in the hotel with Greedy interjecting with corrections was definitely one of my favourite parts. And the Jersey moment? I loved reading it but listening to it was even better!

I am not usually a fan of the lead characters being apart or paired off separately generally but it totally works in this book. After the twist at the end of book two, the guys have to work together to solve the mystery of where Hunter has gone. I absolutely loved the dynamic between how the three worked together and how they each tackled their frustrations differently. Kabir from his introduction in book two was not my favourite but seeing him play to his strengths was great development for that character. Greedy is still the absolute one though. His conversation with Sione about his sexuality was another of my highlights as was how his relationship with Levi evolved.

There is a lot going on; a rescue, new love interests, the final pieces of Hunter's summer flashbacks coming together and a lot of drama leading up to an explosive finale. It broke my heart and dropped my jaw all in one fell swoop and I cannot wait for book four!

I’m a little late for this one, but when I was offered the audiobook I was like “heck yes! I need to have Greedy in my ears!” 🤣

This always happens, whenever I read a Why Choose? book, I always end up liking one of the guys more than the others. In Boys of Lake Chapel it was Kylian… here is definitely Greedy! He can do no wrong in my eyes. While every guy has what makes them unique, I just can’t ignore he was Hunter’s first and the father of her angel baby. He never got the chance to mourn the loss of his child, and that makes him have a special place in my heart.

This one had me tearing up a couple of times. It was hard to see how a parent could be so cruel and treat their child the way Magnolia treated Hunter. It’s not that I was surprised, I know there are parents like this one in the world, it was more about seeing how she didn’t care at all about her daughter.

If you’re going to read this one (and that goes for the 4 books in this series) please check the trigger warnings. This isn’t an easy topic to process and it is very important to take care of yourself if you’ve gone through situations like the ones Hunter has gone through.

This book is an emotional journey. It picks up soon after the last book ended which I appreciated. I hate it when a book has a 😲 ending and then the next book has a big time jump and takes you out of the intensity of what was happening. So thank you to the author for that. This book was about the characters figuring out their relationships and how they all fit together and jive together. I enjoyed how this poly relationships found their way. It was a bit immature at times but most of the characters are young so it’s understandable.

And the FMCs mother!!! She is a nutcase. The ending was … interesting … can’t wait to see what happens in book four!

I read the first two books on kindle and listen to this on audio, and I can say with my full heart and flat chest that this is one of those books that you need to get in your ear holes. The narration on this that me slippier than a waterslide at Disneyland.
Abby Millsaps, you can do no wrong my lady.

I fell arse over tits for all of these men faster than you can say whoops. And these men have it down bad for our girl Hunter.
This is the 3rd book in a series and the books to have to be read in order. I am so sad that the next book is the last book in the series, I wish this series would never end but I am so glad and jealous for those readers you haven’t meet these characters yet because you get to experience the angsty, the tension, the obsession and the love.

If you want a series that is both plot and spice (but heavy on the spice) then this shit will certainly satisfy because this shit is filthy as fuck.
And to sign this off, I have one thing to say…… Get fucked, Magnolia

So Rare is the 3rd book in the Boys of South Chapel series by Abby Millsaps. It’s told in a dual timeline style, flashing back and forth between Hunter meeting Sione in Italy, and the present, where Sione joins the polycule in progress completing the group. This series does need to be read in order, as each book has ended in a killer cliffhanger to tie into the next. In So Wrong we met Greedy and Levi, In So Real we meet Spence, and now Sione in So Rare. Hunter is collecting these suitors like trading cards in these first three books, and now we’ve reached the point where the “Avengers” have assembled to finally be with, care for, and protect Hunter from her toxic mother. There are some heavy themes in this story, so if you’re sensitive to certain situations, please check the content warnings.
I listened to the audiobook version of the story, and it was good, but some of the voices were very different from what I had imagined in my head. I read the first two books without audio, so it took me a little while to adjust. The cliffhanger Abby leaves us all on at the end of this book, is one I saw coming, and luckily So Right, the conclusion to the series is dropping next week. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
Thank you to Netgalley, Dreamscape Media, and Abby Millsaps for the ALC opportunity!

1.5⭐️| 3.5🌶️

The narration was actually good. But the storyline is really not there.
OMG I hated everything about this book.. I don’t know why I continue to read this series when I keep hating the back and forth.
The FMC cannot make up her mind after 3 book of going in circles.. I DNF at 30%z

Its a 2.5 star but....These books are like a reality tv show... messy, dramatic, over the top dialogue, and yet... I can't not read them. I have so many complaints, a lot of the actions of the characters don't even make sense. The ending is absolutely ridiculous for what everyone has gone through and the KNOWN trauma history, I mean, truly ridiculous... and I am sure I will read book 4 to see how it concludes. So I dunno what to tell you, if you're looking for messy entertainment, you will find it here, it may also make you love to hate it. I dunno lol

Thank you of the ALC of this, I really do appreciate the opportunity.

So Rare is the third book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It follows Hunter, Greedy, Levi, Spence, and newcomer Sione.

So Rare starts off right where So Real ended, which was on such a cliffhanger! The book effortlessly flows

Hunter is such a strong female character over the course of the series, and even in this book, she truly is starting to heal. She also feels loved and whole with her cohort. I really just wanted to give her a hug because she has endured so much, and her growth has been amazing.

Greedy’s growth was my favorite in this book. He really found himself in this book, and it honestly makes me so happy, especially what he endured in the first two books. He is so freaking caring and protective but also a giver.

Levi is such a golden retriever, and I love it. He is also fiercely protective and such a brat! He struggled a bit in this book with the new dynamics, but eventually, he came around. Can I just say what happened between the boys at The Moon Mist motel literally had me blushing!!

Spence is a hard man, but boy is he putty when around Hunter and the other guys. He is a total caregiver and is fiercely protective. He will always put others above himself, which really makes me love him more. He also likes to be 10 steps ahead of everyone and always has a plan!

Sione is her soul match, her one and only. At first, I was not sure how I would like him, but he fits right in with the group. He is spiritual, a healer, and so sure of himself. He helps her heal in a way none of the other men would be able to.

The connection and banter between the characters was so fantastic. They each have really grown into their own, but my favorite growth was the relationship between Greedy and Levi. Also Greedy’s growth!!!!! The man really changed for the better!! I will always scream justice for Greedy, though! I love that all of the men are so different, but they come together so beautifully to form their own family with Hunter.

The casting for this book could not have been more perfect! They really brought the characters to life. I love reading my Kindle, but listening to it is a whole other ball game and literally levels up the experience. It feels more immersive. I can’t wait for So Right to come out on audio so I can listen to it!

You will enjoy this book if you like the following:
- Why Choose
- Only one bed
- Second chance
- Soul match
- THE jersey moment
- PMDD rep
- Demisexual rep

This book is not a standalone and should be read in order starting with So Wrong.

Thank you so much, Abby Millsaps and Dreamscape media for the gifted alc!

Updated review for addition of audiobook. See original eBook review below.

Format: 🎧 Audiobook 🎧
Narrators: June deBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, Keval Shah and Julio Maxwell
Style: Multi-cast dual
As always with this series, check CWs before reading/listening

I don't know what it is about the narrators that make Millsaps' story just so much *more*, but they've done it again with the next instalment of the Boys of South Chapel series.

Once more, deBorhae, Pierce, Dicosimo and Shah - along with Maxwell joining the cast as Sione - breathe absolute life and bring sheer emotion and acting ability to the characters crafted by Millsaps. I have no words to describe the pure talent that is these five narrators bringing such a beautiful polycule to life.

This is a cast who don't just lend voices to the characters they're playing; they truly act. With each emotion-laden scene deBoarhae voices as Hunter, you hear each heart-breaking emotion spill from her voice - so much so that you feel like you're there with Hunter, and you just want to comfort her in those moments. Pierce and Dicosimo bring such life to Levi and Greedy respectively, and I was living for their scenes together - again, you could feel the tension in the actors voices. Shah continues to bring that gruff, no-nonsense tone to Spencer, but you can hear the softening aspects coming through more, and Maxwell lends a beautiful voice to The One and Only (Sione), creating such a three-dimensional character; I didn't want the audiobook to end.

The casting of this book truly brings a new experience to the story, and certainly brings it to a whole new level; if I thought I was near tears reading this on my kindle, then I won't lie and say the acting didn't have the odd few slipping down my cheeks - not just in the sad moments, but the happy ones, too. It's because of the casting, the acting, that I honestly cannot wait for So Right to come out in audio format.

Thank you to the author, Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for the ALC opportunity. These are my honest thoughts that I have provided voluntarily.

Millsaps continues to deliver with the story of Hunter and her men. With the cliffhanger the last book ended on, I was unsure as to where the story would go, and Millsaps had me on the edge of my seat for the entire read.

So Rare is filled with secrets and suspense, twists and turns as well as some beautiful romantic moments, some deliciously spicy scenes, and some great moments of found family. I loved the reintroduction of Gerald from the last book, and I loved the continued presence of Jo and her boys throughout the narrative.

Once more, my heart absolutely breaks for Hunter, and I wanted to be right there with her men, serving her mother a can of whoop-ass. Seriously, I don't think I've been this angry over a fictional character in a long time.

I loved that Greedy and Levi finally get to explore their feelings, and it was written so beautifully. Especially with the introduction of Sione, and his hand in helping Greedy make a discovery or two - that whole scene made my heart melt a little.

Now that all Hunter's men have been introduced, I truly love all of them and their uniqueness. Kabir and his Dom ways, taking the lead. Levi, the golden retriever boyfriend with a heart of gold. Greedy, the forbidden stepbrother and Hunter's first love. And Sione - aptly named The One and Only - Hunter's true soulmate.

That cliffhanger, though? Ms. Millsaps, you have some 'splainin' to do! Absolutely cannot wait for the release of So Right in the new year.

The audiobook narration was top-notch, with engaging performances that enhanced the listening experience. I devoured this book quickly, just like the previous two in the series.

However, I didn't love this installment as much as I expected. While I adore the characters and their dynamics, I feel that the series should have focused solely on Greedy, Levi, and Hunter. The addition of Spencer and Sione, although interesting characters, disrupted the original dynamic for me.

The plot developments, particularly regarding Hunter's mom, left me perplexed. The convenient memory recovery and the obliviousness of Greedy's dad felt implausible.

The ending also raised concerns, with Hunter's pregnancy introducing potential drama and complications.

Overall, while I enjoyed the audiobook experience, the story didn't quite meet my expectations.

This was interesting, though no one likes a cliffhanger, I do understand it’s needed for the series. I think this author Diana great job keeping me engaged and waiting more.

ALC Review:
I’m sorry to say this book wasn’t for me. The fmc was extremely manipulative and the dynamic between her and the guys seems forced. She established a relationship with all 4 guys separately, then leaves them and they all come crawling back. She then somehow coerces them into relationships with people they just met. They all say it’s consensual and that they love/care for each other, which is great, but it felt so shallow. The plot with Hunters mom is interesting enough, but the amnesia was bizarre and unnecessary. I read the first 2 books just prior to this arc and I’ll be leaving the series here. The narrators did a decent job, with the exception of one male reading the part of Hunter.
Thank you Dreamscape for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.

This book was everything I expected it to be and so much more. While I have read the book I also was lucky enough to get to listen to the ALC as well. The narration truly brings these characters to life and makes you feel like you are watching the story unfold in your head even clearer. This book starts off right were the last one ended and the guys wake up to find Hunter gone. While they are all trying to figure out what happened to her you see a solidarity with the men as they try and find her. This book is an emotional roller coaster, and you truly see growth in all these characters especially Hunter. We get the addition of Sione Hunters love from Italy and he truly brings a new strength, wisdom and has a great calming effect on all of them. He truly brings them all together. Once again, we see how truly awful Hunters mother is and the lengths she will go to for the things she wants truly heinous. I loved that we got a little glimpse of Joey and her men as they step in to help and support them all. Then you hit with that cliff hanger and your heart pounds and you can't wait to get your hands on the next book. I was given the ALC of this book for my honest review.

I loved this storyline so much! I was so grateful to listen to so rare again right before so right. The story of Hunter and her boys brings so much representation up and the suspense of the cliff hangers are so fun.

Book 3 of the Boys of South Chapel series picks up where the previous one left off, with Hunter missing after the strengthening of their bond. The guys will do anything to get her back, even contacting someone from her past. Spence remains steadfast as a protector for them and readily accepts any changes that come. The scene at the gas station might be my favorite in the series so far. With the recent reintroduction of Sione, the group dynamics are evolving, but they have the example of Joey and her guys to look at. It will be good to see how they all interact in the next book, along with Gerald who adds a bit of levity. I really enjoyed listening to this book because it put accents to the voices. So Rare does end on a major cliffhanger, and I hope it does not break them.

Me: I’m so done with this series, it’s so unrealistic.

Also me: what the heck was that cliffhanger?! Are you kidding me?!

I wouldn’t recommend these books to anyone off the street. However, I do think the author does a good job with the topics that are covered and the se derive nature of people learning who they are and what their preferences are.

I just finished listening to So Rare, and I have to say—it was a fantastic listen! 🎧 The narrators really brought the characters to life, though I’ll admit, there were moments when I was a bit confused about who was who.

I also didn’t realize this was part of a series, which threw me off a little when it came to following some of the details. That’s on me, though. Even with that, the story was so fun and entertaining! 😄

The book itself was excellent. The plot had so many unexpected twists that kept me on my toes, and there was so much depth—not just in the storyline but in the relationships too. And that ending? That cliffhanger completely caught me off guard! 😱

Big thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the advanced audiobook. 🙏

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the advanced audiobook for "So Rare" by Abby Millsaps.

I have listened to the previous two books as audiobooks as well so I was very excited when I saw this arc. I absolutely love the Boys of South Chapel series and it did not disappoint. The spice was superb and the story line kept me on the edge of my seat.
There was so much growth of the MC's which I loved to see.

So excited for the next instalment.
