No wrong moves.

I’ve clung to those three words for years as I’ve tried to navigate more loss and heartbreak than any one person should experience in a lifetime. Amongst all the uncertainly, there’s one thing I know for 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.

When I see the way the guys look at me—and in some cases, the way they look at each other—I know that what we share is rare. Ours is a love worth fighting for. A love worth staying for. A love I’ll cherish for my entire life.

As long as I make it out alive.

Internal demons and external forces threaten to unravel everything I’ve fought when the five of us find ourselves back in Lake Chapel. But I refuse to give in to the darkness of my PMDD or the nefarious plans of my narcissistic mother. 


This is it.

I’m ready to claim the happily ever after I deserve with all four of my men by my side. I just have to convince them to go along with my plan and hope like hell that my mother leaves us alone once and for all.

THIS BOX SET INCLUDES OVER 1200 PAGES OF BINGE-WORTHY ROMANCE THAT CONCLUDES WITH AN EPIC HEA FOR HUNTER AND HER MEN. THE BOYS OF SOUTH CHAPEL BOX SET INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING So WrongSo RealSo RareSo RightPlus three brand new bonus scenes

Abby met her husband at a house party the summer before her freshman year of college. He had a secret pizza stashed in the trunk of his car that he was saving for a midnight snack—how was she supposed to resist that level of golden retriever energy and preparedness?

The Boys of South Chapel boxset is here and wow, what a wild ride!! I started reading this series and couldn’t out it down! The books are emotional and funny and steamy and have so many layers to them.

Hunter, Greedy and Levi have known each other for years and have a history that is…complicated. Now Hunter is back…and she brings with her Spence and Sione. These characters have a history that is complicated and tragic but there is so much love - and banter - there. Oh the banter is so good!

This book has the best PMDD rep I have ever read - we see Hunter really struggle and it felt so authentic. The multiple POVs and dual timelines really give a full picture of what each character was going through. The character growth was so good - and the bonus scenes were *chef’s kiss 💋

So Wrong
Hunter, Greedy & Levi story exceeded my expectations. I just love all the back and forth between presents and the past.

(Then)
Hunter and Greedy start a relationship at the end of senior year. You see their chemistry from the start. I just love how it progressed and how easy going every thing when with them. Hunter was able to be herself and be open with him. Until the unthinkable happens any future they may have had changes.

Levi and Hunter are best friends along with Greedy. He becomes her confidant and is there when she needs him the most. And Hunter accepts all of what Levi is unlike his mother.

(Now)

Hunter is back home and doing everything she needs to get degree. Even living with her step brother (Greedy). Which is hard all it self, since she basically left all her old life behind 3 years ago. When Levi needs them the most and accepts there help. You see the bond between them is still there. How much Greedy still cares for Hunter. And how much he wants what they once had. Add in the mix being in a fake relationship with Levi. You’ll see all this powerful connection they all share. Let’s just say the friendship department will change for all of them. The chemistry you see will be off the charts.

And that ending was icing on the cake. Secrets will be revealed. I can’t wait to see how everything will unravel with next installment.

So Real
So Real picks up right where book 1 ended (So Wrong). Enter Kabir ‘Spencer’ in the building and brings a whole lot of secrets with him. Secrets Greedy hasn’t learned until now.

Hunter has a lot explaining to Greedy. From the past she is running from and why she left in the first place. Hunter has grown from the last book and you’ll see all the obstacles she has overcome and still trying to move past as well.

Greedy has a lot to process including the major secrets that was kept from him, not only from Greedy but also from his best friend Levi. Also from the new lifestyle Hunter is living and understand the complex relationship between Spence and Hunter.

Levi also has to answer to Greedy. And understand why he kept quite too. And on top of it also navigate the new aspect of his relationship with Hunter and explore a new side as well.

Spencer understands Hunter on another level her other guys don’t. You’ll see the life shared when they where in London. How much he helped her in more ways the one.

With all said and done all four must decide to try and be more. The chemistry is electric and see how much they all make sense. This story will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. And leave you wanting more and that cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Please read those triggers warning before reading.

So Rare
So Rare was absolutely magnificent. I just can’t get enough of Hunter and her guys. All four of her guys bring something to the table. And I just adore how much they all deeply care for Hunter and vice versa.

This picks up right where it left off. And the guys Levi, Greedy and Spence will do anything to get their girl back. It’s great to see how the dynamic is with all three of these guys and how much it has progressed. Especially Levi and Greedy as well as Levi and Spence. When they manage to get her back. Hunter has to remember what all these guys mean to her. Her first love Greedy is still there. But slowly she’ll see what the others mean.

Then enter Sione, he brings such a spiritual and healing presence that you can’t help but fall in love with. And you’ll see how their journey began an how much they mean to one another.

The one goal they share is keep Hunter happy and protected. Especially from her mother who is a piece of work.

All in all this series just keeps getting better and better. With another incredible cliffhanger, I can’t wait to see how all this will end.

So Right
So Right is the final installment in the Boys of a South Chapel. Hunter and her guys Levi, Greedy, Spence, & Sione story has come to an end. I’m so sad to say goodbye to this group.

Hunter is still number one priority to all her guys thanks to her evil mother. They will do anything to protect her. Enter Spence and his plans, which has a ripple effect. So many emotions but he wouldn’t change anything he did. He loves Hunter so deeply. Thats in the end they will all understand it’s for the best. And no more running, they will love their lives for them and no one else. You’ll see all the highs and lows that they all will endure.

As well as how close they all get with one another. Greedy and Levi friendship turns to something beautiful and it’s great to see how they all take everything in stride. Levi and Spence relationship has grown deeper as well. Sione only has eyes for Hunter but he does brings something special to the group. The chemistry between all of them is completely amazing and they all get along well. And making sure they all accept one another as a whole.

Now let’s talks about those bonus scenes, it’s so beautiful to see into the future. And see how far Hunter, Levi, Greedy, Spence and Sione life has turned out. How they overcame all the obstacles life threw at them. It’s not just all about the sexy times it’s about so much more. I’m so happy Hunter got everything she has always wanted and more.

Review of advance copy
December 28, 2025
After taking the time to read each book this week, I heavily enjoyed each one. So much so, that I rated each book 5 stars individually, so obviously, the set as a whole gets 5 stars. This series had me feeling every emotion possible under the sun, but it was just so freaking good. I was addicted and was constantly craving more! The characters and their development were phenomenal as well. Gotta say, Levi is still my favorite out of everything. Something about him just drew me in from the start!

Just when I thought the ending couldn't possibly get any better, we were blessed with the absolute masterpieces that were the ✨️bonus✨️scenes✨️! Without a doubt, I was proven very wrong about how good the ending was. It was everything one could've hoped to get for our beloved South Chapel Cohort. 💜 Thank you for allowing me to ARC read!

My review for each book individually is pasted below!

Book 1, So Wrong:

This book was A LOT. In how I felt about it, it was an update and down roller coaster ride. At first, I COULD NOT get into it. It features a step-sibling romance which just isn't for me, and I was so over it. However, as the story developed and continued, I understood. By the end, I was fully invested in this story. So Wrong was confusing, honestly, but it was also funny and emotional in the very best of ways.

We all know I LIVE for multi-pov stories as well as the fake dating trope! In So Wrong, the perspectives of Hunter, Greedy, and Levi were shown. Also, I want to know so badly why Greedy's nickname is Greedy. It never really explained, and ya girl wants answers! Between scrappy moms, terrible upbringing, and more, each character has been through so much. While reading, I constantly felt terrible for them.

While I don't dislike Greedy as a character, I'm FULLY Team Levi. Yes, my favorite is the blonde man. 😂 I'm SAT for this man. I know that this series has a why choose dynamic, but I'm still rooting for my boy Levi!

THE CLIFFHANGER!!! What the actual heck was that? The way I actually yelled out loud at the book! If I didn't immediately have access to book 2, I genuinely would've lost it.

Book 2, So Real:

Thankfully, So Real picked up right where book 1 left off. This time around, we got an extra POV as Kabir was added to the list of characters. Now, the story unfolds from the perspectives of Greedy, Levi, Hunter, and Kabir (Spencer).

It's crazy how these books have just continued to fully mess with my emotions. I still feel terrible for the characters, Hunter especially. At first, I was NOT a fan of Spence. The way he's introduced is definitely a little… off-putting and unexpected. However, I do take it back though. The longer the story went on, the more I understood and grew to like his character. Genuinely, I'm hoping they, and the situation all works out in the end. Fully rooting for them now!

Also, who on Earth is Sione and are we meeting this dude next???

AND! I don't know if I'm reading into this correctly, but are we getting a Greedy queen awakening?? 👀 I mean, I believe that we can all confirm at this point that this man CLEARLY isn't fully straight. Just saying 🤷‍♀️

The cliffhanger? Hunter? Hello? What is happening? These cliffhangers are wreaking havoc on my emotional stability, I swear.

Book 3, So Rare:

Yet again, So Rare picks up where book 2 left off. There is another character (and POV) added as we get to meet Sione, Hunter's other European lover. This series continues to have me absolutely obsessed!

Honestly, I wasn't really a fan of Sione. Compared to the others, he was just okay. However, with the other books, I did judge off first impressions, ending with me changing my mind later, so we'll see! Yall have no idea how excited I was to see that we got demisexual / ace rep from Sione! It's not commonly represented in the media, and as someone who identifies somewhere on the ace spectrum, I was so excited to see the representation!

We got a Greedy sexuality reveal!! Won't say anything because of spoilers, obviously, but hell yeahhh! Stories where characters are able to explore and discover themselves always tug at my heart. What I wasn't expecting was how much I adored Greedy & Levi together. They had me absolutely giggling, and I loved it so much. Not to mention the polyamorous dynamic of them all as a whole. I'm so here for it all!

Hunter's mother had me legitimately angry. I was so over her. 💀 That's all I'm going to say about that, but YALL. It's rare that I despise a character this much.

Sigh, yet another cliffhanger. I expected it this time around, but the way it ended was just cruel. 😭😔

Book 4, So Right:

As usual, So Right picked up right where book 3 had left off. I absolutely lived for the different perspectives as we got a POV from everyone in the cohort. It's definitely been a wild ride, but I've loved this series so much. For the review this time around, I'm definitely yapping less because there is so much I want to say, but being spoiler free has its cons.

This may be a hot take, but I will continue to stand by the fact that Sione is still pretty mid. He just didn't resonate with me as much as the others did, and that could be due to knowing him for much less time. The ending, though, I'm 100% content with the conclusion. It was absolutely perfect

What a beautiful life

So I sat down with this box set of the full series yesterday and devoured the entire thing in approximately 24 hours. We all working and sleeping. I literally could not put this down. I loved the entire thing.

Hunter is such a dynamic character with so much going on in her life. She deals with a lot of different struggles that cause her to change directions. However, each of those directions leads her to someone she needed, although she did not realize just how much until they all came together.

This story is filled with so many deep emotions, deep pains, and such. Such love that it was impossible not to be drawn in. Each of these men is so utterly unique and gave her something completely different.

Seeing these guys come together and battle, each of these challenges was heartbreaking, yet utterly beautiful. The spice in this book was phenomenal, although I definitely would not have minded seeing more of the MM interactions.

This book is truly a hard-fought happily ever after. The way these men were willing to come together and allow them all to blossom was absolutely beautiful.

Boys of South Chapel
By Abby Millsaps

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything about these 4 books is perfect!
I was hooked from the beginning, and as each book went on, I couldn't stop!!
When Hunter falls in love with Greedy... and then Kabir, and then Sione and then Levi, what other option is there then to end up in a relationship together

Hunter, Greedy,Levi,Sione, and Kabir have blown my mind.
There is so much happening in all of these books, but it's never too much to get lost.
Hunter struggles throughout the entire series, but each man has his own way of making her better

I laughed, cried, and was so mad, I did not want this series to end.

This box set is over 1200 pages of some of my favorite characters! This collection includes So Wrong, So Real, So Rare, So Right, and three brand new bonus scenes. This is an angsty love story between Hunter and her guys. It's a why choose romance with swords crossing. And Hunter is a stepsister to one of her guys. The guys are Greedy, Levi, Spence, and Sione. This whole series had my full attention and the plot was very interesting and entertaining. I loved how the guys helped and supported Hunter through her troubled relationship with her selfish mom. Definitely a series to check out.

Hunter is back home from Europe after leaving Greedy and Levi following a heartbreaking turn of events. Hunter is hoping to move on but when two individuals show up from her time in Europe her past quickly catches up to her. As the story unfolds, the 4 of them must learn to coexist with one another if they want to keep Hunter in their life.

This story touches on miscarriage, pregnancy, mental health, PMDD, sexual orientation, and a poly relationship which can be triggering to some.

While I enjoyed this story, I found some parts hard to bear for personal reasons. My heart broke for Greedy and Levi, I felt that they deserved better than they were getting from Hunter at times. There were also some moments where I felt like Hunter was projecting her issues on others creating this sense that it was their burden to carry. However, watching the characters grow and getting their POV’s was done so perfectly it wrapped everything up so phenomenally.

Overall, the story was cohesive, the characters felt relatable at times, each book picked up where the last left off, and the character development and friendship formed was amazing.

I loved Hunter and her relationship with her boys. Watching them overcome every obstacle thrown their way had me fully invested from start to finish. The way the story unfolds through flashbacks gave so much depth to their past, making every moment in the present hit even harder.

Seeing Hunter, Greedy, Levi, Spence, and Sione slowly figure out their relationships (not just individually, but as a whole) was everything I wanted and more. The growth, the emotional payoff, the connection between all of them… perfection.

This series had my heart, my attention, and absolutely earned all five stars.

“There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you. There isn’t anything I couldn’t love you through.”

Look away, I’m not crying!!

“The way we fit together is ingrained, permanent. He’s a part of me. He’s the best of me.”

Okay, yeah I’m crying 😭

This series is a work of art. It’s beautiful and perfect and I already want to read it again. I don’t want to leave these characters 😩

I’ve read a lot this year, but I haven’t felt this connected to a group of characters in a long time. Just in the nick of time, along came this series that has become my favorite so far this year. I truly couldn’t put these books down (even when I REALLY needed to. You know, to do things like work…or sleep). I completely devoured these and in turn they wrecked me in the best way.

“This woman is the epitome of everything I want and need. I want to spend every day for the rest of my life making sure she knows it.”

I read The Boys of Lake Chapel series last year and I loved it, but this series is by far my favorite. Abby Millsaps is just an incredible writer. This may sound kind of odd, but I really appreciate that everything is connected and nothing is left hanging. Like if something is mentioned in passing in the first book, you bet it’ll come back in the third one. No detail is missed and I feel that is rare in what I’ve been reading lately.

This is a truly unique story, even for the genre. Particularly how Hunter met all of the guys and how they all came together. Ms. Hunter was just (unintentionally) leaving broken hearts everywhere she went for a while, but none of them gave up on her, which is entirely the sweetest part of this story. The relationship that they grew into within their polycule, cohort, group—whatever you want to call it—is really unlike any others I’ve read in this genre (and I read A LOT in this particular sub-genre of romance lol). I’m so glad to have read this to end out my year!

“The girl I loved is gone. I accept that now. The woman I’m holding tonight is a survivor, and she’s perfect beyond all comprehension. Her poise. Grace. Resilience. Strength. She’s never looked more beautiful.”

I absolutely adored every single main character throughout the entire journey.
They were the definition of complex characters and layered storytelling.

I felt really connected to this series and these characters. Each character was so unique and from the outside, they may make a bit of an odd group. But they had the most important things in common.
By the end, they were talking and thinking like each other at certain points, showing just how cohesive they became as a group.

The growth that these characters experience, from past to present and even from book to book within their present selves is so lovely and perfect and I just don’t think I can say enough good things about this series.

Likewise, I absolutely loved the representation of different types of sexuality and relationships.

Let’s talk about the specific kink that we have going on in this series. Because even that, Ms. Millsaps did a wonderful job with. In other books, if this type of thing happens, I tend to recoil from it. The reason, though, is because it’s usually infused with genuine hatred or disrespect. In these books? It was incredibly hot, and it’s because the undertones were nothing but genuine love, care, and respect. That makes a huge difference.

It’s not a necessity, but I’m so glad I read the Boys of Lake Chapel series first because it made the scenes with Joey, Decker, and the rest of the gang (or cohort lol) that much more meaningful and enjoyable. I love how involved they were in the last book in particular. If you are planning on reading both series, definitely read Lake Chapel first because those events occur first and are referenced in these books. I loved both series (though South Chapel definitely has my heart, if I had to pick a favorite).

All this is to say, just go ahead and read these—you won’t regret it! And if you want some great bonus material included, definitely pick up this omnibus version.

“A love like ours? It’s the rarest kind. It endures and it waits. It galvanizes and it grows.”

“What we have is special. It’s that once-in-a-lifetime love people dream about. And I get to experience it four times over.”

Thank you to Abby Millsaps and Valentine PR for selecting me as an ARC reader!

————————————————————————————-

I thought I’d include my thoughts and some favorite quotes from each individual book below. Just separating it out since it’s a lot of words lol

**BOOK 1- SO WRONG**

In book one, we get to see how Hunter meets Levi and Greedy in the past, as well as their reunion in the present. The story is told in multiple POVs as we experience the highs of first loves and bonds of friendship, and the lows of betrayal, mental health crises, and devastating heartbreak, along with these characters.

I always appreciate this author for the mental health and disability rep that she brings to her novels. I don’t think I’ve read another book that covers PMDD, and I learned quite a bit from this series.

“Had a little mix-up,” Greedy offers with the wave of his hand. Levi bristles and shoots a glare in his friend’s direction. “By ‘mix-up,’ he means he pumped diesel into the gas tank.” Oh. Sh*t.

-This happened to my brother 10+ years ago and we haven’t let him live it down 😂 I just loved this part lol.

-I can already tell I’m gonna have a book
hangover when this series is over and I don’t care. I’m 1/3 of the way through the first book and I adore these characters already.

-There’s not a bad bone in any of these three main characters’ bodies. They all love each other so much and are constantly trying to protect one another. It’s so sweet and so heartbreaking at the same time😭

“Greedy looks at me like I’m worth being cherished. Like I’m a prize he can’t believe he’s won.”

-I think I love Greedy more than I’ve ever loved another MMC. Like truly, this boy is absolutely perfect.


Quotes:

“I was going to love him forever, only forever isn’t an option anymore.”

“It’s you and me, Tem. We’ll figure this out. I’ll stop at nothing.”


**BOOK 2: SO REAL**

“Everything has a reason, and for everything, there’s a season.”

“Spence’s devotion to me is unlike any sort of love I’ve ever experienced.”

-Excuse me?? Spence 😍


*BOOK 3: SO RARE*

-When they said she was in upstate NY, I was like you boys better start driving—that’s a 13 hour trip. And then it was actually 13 hours lol.


“I have not fully lived until her.”

“There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give you. There’s nothing I value more in this life than your happiness and well-being. You’re the sun and every other star in my sky, Hunter St. Clair”

THESE DANG EUROPEAN BOYS. I LOVE THEM.

…that is all lol.

(Other) Quotes

“Hunter couldn’t fight for me back then because she was fighting like hell to hang on to herself.”


*BOOK 4: SO RIGHT*

STILL LOVE THEM

So right is indeed, right

How do these characters bring tears to my eyes every other freaking chapter??

So Rare (Book #3)

After Hunter left London, she went to Italy where she met Sione. Is Sione who she is meant to be with? Or is she meant to be with all 4 men? Hunter's mom has kidnapped her and Greedy, Levi, and Spence are tracking her to find out where she is. Her mom took her to a 'spa' in up state New York.

I did receive a free ARC Copy of this book. I am freely leaving a honest book review.


So Right (Book #4)

The guys were able to get Hunter back from her mom. They aren't sure if they should stay in North Carolina, where it would be easy for her mom to get to her? Or if they should leave the country and go over to England? Or where they should all go?

Hunter's mom is still trying to convivence her to be a liver organ donor for her. But, the blood test results show her mom did in fact drug her like they guys have told Greedy's dad - Dr. Ferguson, who still doesn't believe Magnolia would kidnap her own daughter. But, the blood test also reveal that Hunter is pregnant and she won't be doing any liver donation any time soon! Magnolia tries to make the news all about her, and when she was pregnant with Hunter. Hunter is in shock. She tracks her periods and ovulation like clockwork, and can't believe she is pregnant.

Greedy wants to know whose baby is it? Is it his? Was Hunter with Levi or Spence before they got in bed together a few weeks ago? Is there another guy? Greedy thinks Hunter should be about 5 or 6 weeks pregnant, but, with whose baby?

Levi isn't sure if the baby could be his. He knows they were together in his truck, but, did they make the baby then? He doesn't have a job. He's not in school or in football practice with his injury. How could he support a baby? Magnolia keeps saying the 4 of them - Hunter, Levi, Magnolia and his mom should get together, and talk about the upcoming baby, but, there is no way he is going to tell him mom about this baby. What is going to happen?

Will Spence be able to help all of them out? Will Spence be able to find a place for all of them to live? Or will Spence take over the relationship they all have with Hunter? Is Hunter even pregnant? What is her mom Magnolia going to do? Force her and Levi to marry?

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

This was my first time reading the Boys of South Chapel series and I absolutely LOVED it! We met Hunter as Joey’s best friend in the Boys of Lake Chapel series and I’ve been so excited to get more of her ever since!

So Wrong:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
🌶️

The way Greedy still clearly cares about Hunter even with everything that’s come between them is so sweet. Seeing him notice the little things with her that nobody else sees - even though they aren’t together anymore - had me smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. And the things he says? Ugh he’s so sweet and in love.

I wasn’t fully sure what to expect after just getting glimpses of him and Hunter’s relationship in Boys of Lake Chapel, so I’m very happy to get a more in depth look at him and how he feels.

I really love the relationships between Greedy, Levi, and Hunter. Abby does an amazing job with building relationships - both romantic and platonic - in such a natural, realistic way. I eat it up every time. And the angst/tension you can feel between the three of them?! Ugh Abby. A masterpiece.

Oh and the spice? Oh. My. Lanta. 🥵

So Real:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

Ohhhh this one hurt! My heart breaks for everyone, but especially Greedy this book.

Spence and Hunter’s relationship from the past was EVERYTHING. The way he immediately supported her and helped her through everything that she’s been through?? 100 points to him. (-10 points for walking back into her life and casually dropping an atom bomb though).

I was very excited to see Joey in this book and see her get some time with Hunter. I missed their relationship so much during the first book. Also loved the interaction between Joey’s boys and Hunter’s boys.

So Rare:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

Magnolia is truly unhinged, and I’m glad others are finally getting to see it this book.

I am LIVING for the progression of the boys’ relationships. Abby, you have me kicking my feet, giggling at the slightest things this book. The tension is finally reaching a breaking point and oh my god did it pay off in the BEST way.

I also absolutely love the addition of Sione. He fits so perfectly into the group’s dynamic and it made me really happy to see him help the others work through things. Admittedly, some of the things that came out of his mouth had struggling not to laugh, but he’s just so iconic it works. Now if Levi said half the things out of Sione’s mouth, that would be another story - aka I would be loudly and proudly laughing my ass off.

Another breathtaking cliffhanger from the cliffhanger queen - said with literally all the love and happiness possible - and now I’m so ready to jump into So Right!

Ugh I need to reread Boys of Lake Chapel after this. The meeting of the Shittiest Parents Club brought tears to my eyes. Locke’s little forehead kiss has me missing Joey and her boys even more now.

So Right:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

This was such a great conclusion to Hunter’s story.

I’m incredibly relieved everyone finally saw Magnolia for how horrible she was. That woman was pure hatred.

The boys were incredible, and I loved the progression of all the individual relationships within the polycule. The way they all love (both platonically and romantically) and support one another made everything even better.

I love getting to see more of Joey and her cohort this book. I’ve been craving more Joey x Hunter time, and the blooming friendship between Spence and Kylian makes me laugh in the best way possible.


Omnibus:
If you’re like me and hadn’t read this series before, do yourself a favor and do it! It is such an emotional rollercoaster, in the BEST way possible. You’ll be sobbing, giggling, smiling, and falling in love throughout the 4 book series.

Hunter and her boys (Greedy, Levi, Spence, and Sione) are without a doubt one of my favorite relationships ever. Abby does such an incredible job of making all the relationships within the group feel so natural and realistic, I love it. I believe this was also the first time I’ve read a why choose that had a polyamorous dynamic, and I ATE. IT. UP. All the LGBTQ+ representation made me so happy, and once again felt so natural and right - the awakenings made me smile so hard my cheeks hurt.

Those bonus scenes?! I absolutely LOVED them in the omnibus! Oh my god were they INCREDIBLE. I will never say no to more content when it comes to this group.

And then the epilogues right after?! AH-MAZ-ING.

This series is without a doubt getting put into the “yearly reread” list for me. Right after Boys of Lake Chapel because I miss Joey and her boys even more after reading BOSC. 😂💗

Thank you so much to Abby Millsaps for the opportunity to ARC read this book. All thoughts are my own. 💗

Book 1

Out of the entire series this book is the most heartbreaking for me. I read this series in the omnibus format so I got all the moving parts in one piece. I can see why reading this first book, stopping, and reviewing on it alone would leave a less than lackluster review or impression for this characters. However that’s the beauty in Abby’s writing, her characters are flawed, realistic, and complex. Hunters actions in this first book would be so hard to understand without the second book. I really encourage everyone to read this series in its entirety because it’s a fabulous ride. The character development in Hunter alone is impressive.

I also really enjoyed how the first book had different timelines.

Book 2

This book really dives in and draws attention to mental health struggles after trauma and i respect Abby so highly for the way she presented it. I felt like I was in Hunters shoes, in that sort of foggy state where you almost don’t understand your actions till it’s too late. I struggled with my mental health when I was 14 and it was very similar to how Hunters actions were described. In a way it was triggering, I had to pause to self reflect. Hunters character has gone through some intense trauma and I can definitely understand how that could have caused her reactions. The way Spence takes care of her is nothing short of inspiring. I love his interaction with Levi and Greedy as well. The sexual dynamics definitely change between everyone faster than I anticipated. The cliffhanger at the end of this one also caused me to stay up till 3 am reading the sequel.

Book 3

Out of all the books in this series book 3 was my least favorite. I enjoyed the beginning because of the suspense and the bonding between the male characters while Hunter was not present. This novel gives us our first crystal clear imagine of our villain and her intent, Magnolia may be the worst “mother” I’ve ever read about and at times I really wished I could go into the book and strangle her. The second half of the book includes the addition of Si, and unfortunately his character felt unnecessary to me. His vibe is different and he adds a “laid back” and “spiritual” element to the group however it really felt like a waste of pages. I would have rather read about more backstory on literally any other character. I’ll also admit personally knowing what Spence did for Hunter, her leaving to go and become close with Si hit me in the feels. I understand that her leaving Greedy was also very tragic because of the loss (if you read book 2 you know), and because it was also sudden. However in my mind Greedy didn’t know the full extent of trauma and they were kids. Now Spence, sweet Spence, was financially supporting, emotionally supporting, basically devoting insane resources to helping Hunter. I know he knew she was gonna run, but hell that still hurt like nothing else. I’m Spence’s #1 fan and the way he loves her is so much more than what Levi or Greedy are bringing to the table.

Book 4

Well just like i concluded at the end of book 3, Spence is loving Hunter on a whole different level. I’m sorry, but he literally just eliminated the biggest threat in the series and didn’t even bug the other guys to do it. Man is committed and fucking determined to keep what is his safe. He is so willing to be the “bad guy” and hurt Hunters feelings temporarily to solve bigger issues, that deserves respect. He’s definitely my favorite. I love the dynamic he has with Hunter, Levi, and Greedy in the bedroom too. Si, once again just feels unnecessary to me lol. I really don’t understand the integration of his character into the plot. The epilogues at the end of this novel had my heart so full.

I wanted to see all the extras that Ms. Millsaps added to the box est and I was not disappointed. I loved this series when it was published and I love this box set even more. Right from the start, you know things are going to heat up and set the pages on fire.

In book one, So Wrong, we are given Hunter and Greedy who were each other's first love but life threw a curve at them. Now they are navigating the fact they are step-siblings. Greedy is determined to show her that they can be together and this changes nothing. The one thing that Hunter was not expecting was Levi, her other best friend, living with them as well and feelings starting between the two of them. When you read the book, you will understand why this is a surprise.

Book two, So Real, sees us introduced to Kabir Spencer, Hunter's British Dom lover. My jaw hit the floor a few times while I was reading this book. Yes, it is an emotionally charged book that will have your heart breaking, your emotions all over the place. A few tears rolled down my face, yet at the same time I was blushing, needing a cold drink and maybe new panties. We learn so much about Hunter and her past, which sees her needing help mentally and physically. My heart broke for her and I wanted to jump into the book and hug her.

Book three, So Rare, I was pulled in further and further into Hunter's life and felt I was right there with her. We are given flashbacks and more insight into the relationships that have been formed over the years. We are introduced to yet another sexy man in Hunter's life, Sione. Holy hell, what a man he is. The way that all the men in her life each hold a special place in her heart. Each one of them has a role to play in healing Hunter and all that she has gone through. I love the way all four men have accepted the dynamic of the five of them together.

Book four, So Right, we see the love continue among the five of them. Hunter, Greedy, Levi, Spencer and Sione have a beautiful connection and I love how the four men made sure that Hunter knew she was special and was worth being loved by all of them. To see the love that they share grow and become something beautiful has me swooning over the overprotective men and admiring Hunter for the way that she decided to follow her heart. The pain and suffering they all endured to find their happiness was too much for one person but with the help of the four of them, it wasn't. To be able to find a family that loves you unconditionally when yours basically throws you away is what Hunter lived for.

Be prepared for your emotions to be all over the place. Ms. Millsaps will rip your heart out, stomp on it a bit, pick it up and put it back together, but it will never be the same. I will remember this series for a long time.

This is a complete four book series which covers the entire story between Hunter and her boys, as well as brand new bonus scenes.

In book 1, **So Wrong**, we meet Hunter in a back and forth between the present and a summer 3 years ago. In the past, we see how she falls in love with Greedy and spends a blissful summer with him and his best friend, Levi, until it all comes crashing down and ends with her disappearing to London, just before they’re supposed to start university. In the present, Hunter is back in town, living in Greedy’s house, but avoiding him as much as possible. When Levi ends up back home after a major sports injury, Hunter and Greedy convince him to move in with them, with Hunter pretending that she’s Levi’s girlfriend in order to get him away from his mother. When their fake relationship begins to feel like more, Hunter finds herself torn between following her heart, and trying to avoid hurting Greedy more than she already has. Then they get a surprise visit from a British man who clearly knows Hunter well, and reveals a secret Hunter had hoped Greedy would never learn.

In books 2 & 3, **So Real** and **So Rare**, we get to know Spence and Sione, the two men Hunter shared her life with while she was in Europe. Both of them so different in their dynamics with her, they were able to offer her something that she desperately needed in the time she was away, but neither was able to stop her from running. As they try to figure out a way to co-exist, both within the dymanic of the cohort, and their individual relationships with Hunter and each other, they find themselves having to fight external forces, in the shape of her mother.

Book 4, **So Right** concludes the story with the cohort working together to take down Hunter’s mother. As they learn more about how Magnolia’s treatment has gone from neglect to full on abuse, they realize that she will never give up, and the only way for Hunter to be free is to remove her permanently.

I received an early copy of this book from Valentine PR and absolutely loved it. I’m a sucker for a reverse harem and Abby Millshaps is a mastermind in that respect. I love how authentically she wrote every character, never sensationalizing their situations, and the multi-POV allowed to not only understand what everyone is feeling, but also understand their motivations behind every action. The timeline hops gave us just enough to understand the backstory, but also enables readers to truly see how each man gave Hunter exactly what she needed at every moment, and as much as I hated that she left Greedy in book 1, it became clear that they never would have become what the other needed if she hadn’t.

4.5 stars

Each book, besides the last does end in a cliffhanger. However since I had the box set I could happily move on immediately.

So wrong

I’m still trying to figure out my feelings about Hunter. I know she’s been through some traumatic things and I’m kinda on board with her decisions, but I’m not fully there yet.
At the moment my heart is leading me to Greedy. He’s been the one who has been let down the most by love/Hunter and I want to give him a big hug. He is so obviously gone for her and now has to watch her fall for other people. Not only that the cliffhanger left him reeling.

Abby Millsaps and her devious little mind is going to destroy me. I can tell already. Thank god for eventual HEA’s.

So real

Hunter, girl you are getting on my last nerve. I know this is why choose, which doesn’t bother me when everyone chooses that. But if I was Levi, I’d be out of there. They literally slept together for the first time the day before Kabir turns up, she introduces Levi as her boyfriend then proceeds to become Kabir’s little sex sub that very night. And why did she do that?? She couldn’t deal with the fact that Greedy was pissed at her, as he had every right to be. Take some responsibility. Basically, Hunter has these men bewitched by a magical vag as it is not her sparkling personality.

Ok rant aside, I know somehow Abby is going to turn this all around and I’ll be loving everyone, not just Greedy.

So Rare

Now we’re talking. The boys are starting to get interested in each other. I love a why choose where everyone loves everyone, not necessarily sexually. Hunter is still the main dish, but the boys are sampling the side dishes. We also have another one of Hunter’s castoffs Sione. I’m not sure if he works for me because I was really liking the little foursome we had.
Oh, and of course we have Ms Magnolia, who is truly the worst. A narcissist, she cares for no one but herself.

Kudos to Abby M for giving each of the MMC’s their own personality. Each of them have a certain something that Hunter is looking for.

So right

I knew this would happen and Abby would bring me full circle to loving this relationship/polycule. As a reader I felt such satisfaction with the second half. I actually got to see how they work together as a unit, in everyday life. I’m so glad I got to see glimpses of the relationship as a whole, but also the interactions between the guys,(not Sione) My heart still lies with my man Greedy, but I can admit that each of the other guys bring something special to the group.

Thank you to Abby Millsaps for the arc and this is my honest review.

ARC REVIEW
Boys of South Chapel by Abby Millsaps
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)

Boys of South Chapel: The Complete Series includes So Wrong, So Real, So Rare, So Right, plus three brand-new bonus scenes.

So much happens in this series that I genuinely refuse to fully summarize it, because that would turn this caption into a novella of its own. Just know that Hunter returns to her hometown after an extended stay in Europe, reunites with her ex-boyfriend-turned-stepbrother (nicknamed Greedy, which was… certainly a choice), picks up a new boyfriend, has not one but two European lovers show up on her doorstep, reckons with the fallout of a massive secret, manages her PMDD, continues exploring a Dom/Sub dynamic, and ultimately faces off against her mother—who is a mustache-twirling villain if I’ve ever seen one. And that’s all spoiler-free.

…Okay, so I did kind of summarize. But still.

This series is one of the wildest rollercoaster rides I’ve ever been on. Every time I thought I’d adjusted to the group dynamics, another boyfriend or lover would emerge from the woodwork and we’d all have to recalibrate again. I think this series actually helped me realize that I prefer my why choose romances when everyone is present from the start. That’s not a critique—just me learning something about my own reading preferences in real time.

I will say, Millsaps does a great job making these characters feel like actual individuals. Each man has a distinct personality and backstory, and it’s easy to understand what Hunter connects with in each of them and what they uniquely bring to her life as romantic partners. The dynamics between the men were honestly my favorite part—the evolution from “who the hell are you?” to “get in my bed” was genuinely compelling.

One thing I didn’t realize before diving in: Boys of South Chapel has a companion series, Boys of Lake Chapel, which takes place first. I highly recommend reading Lake Chapel before this one, since those characters feature heavily here and the FMCs are best friends. It adds a lot of context.

Review of advance copy received from Author

So wrong
This book does a great job of sucking you into the storyline from the jump. It’s not necessary your typical HS drama but I do love the story of Hunter having these two guys that clearly get attached to her very quickly but it’s like Greedy got her first and Levi was the third wheel. There is a back n forth between the past and present but it’s not overwhelming. Levi n Hunter have a secret and Hunter is doing everything possible to keep it and to do what she needs to do and get out quick after she’s stuck living under the same roof as Greedy again. Her mother is well to put it lightly a bitch. Love a good mic drop cliffhanger!!

So real
Spence…whew sir where did you come from but let me just get on my knees now. I’m still kinda like where is this all going who’s the bad guy I mean mother is still a bitch but is she in on something and we just haven’t figured it out yet!?! I feel like this book wrapped up all the conflict between all the men and with Hunter but that ending ughh they are gonna think she ran I just know it. And there’s another guy!?!?! Girls just racking up men left and right she’s giving Joey competition!

So rare
Not going to lie I wasn’t sure I was going to accept Si lol one more guy when the three are my favs but I love what he brings to the group. I love how thoughtful he is to men he just met. Magnolia…still a bitch but gosh bless Spence and his plans but I’m going crazy not knowing what the plan is that cliffhanger…umm sir!?!? Is this real is this fake wthhhhhh

So right
In the last of the series it brings a rollercoaster of emotions! Anger, pain, sadness, love & joy, fear you name it you will feel it all! While this has the perfect ending w guaranteed HEAs you have to truly appreciate that this wasn’t an easy journey and it was well earned. I loved seeing the characters grow and change all due to the power of love.

Wrapping up the overall of the series I loved it Hunter was such a real fmc in her struggles and the relatability of her character. Levi, Sione, Spence and greedy are just perfect even with their flaws and mistakes they truly were perfect mmcs! I plan on reading Joey & her men’s books next!

Flovely 😍

Our FMC, Hunter, has her heart evicarated when life as she knows it comes to an abrupt halt. So she does the only thing that makes sense to her in that moment and she runs.

"For three years, she ran. For months, she’s rejected me over and over. She’s ignored me. Pushed me away and held me at arm’s length. For what? So she could continue to hold on to a secret that wasn’t hers to keep?"

This is the story of how a secret so painful can cause such a cataclysmic fallout and how even in our darkest moments something beautiful can still blossom.

This onmibus really did a number on me, I freaking felt everything thrown at these characters on a cellular level. The tension was almost unbearable at times, and at others, I was just plain heartbroken. But fear not, it's always darkest before the dawn...🌅❤️‍🩹

And the spice, oh lordy, the spice is slow burn until it isn't 💥. You nasty Ms Millsaps, I love it! 🥵

While I did like all members of the cohort 😆, I instantly fell head over heels for Greedy, having already met him in the Boys of Lake Chapel series. He is everything you want in a book boyfriend and more...HE BUYS HER BOOKS, INCLUDING SPECIAL EDITIONS, AND PUTS THEM IN THEIR SPECIAL LIBRARY!!! 🫠. And thanks to Sir Kabir, the surly British billionaire, I will no longer be asking people how they're doing, I shall now ask, "Are you well"?

An absolutely fantastic read and I was so glad for the bonus chapters at the end. It is 1,200+ pages of angsty, messy, spicy, second-chance romancey, why choose goodness and you need it in your eyeballs immediately!

(check TWs before reading, while this isn't a dark book it touches on very delicate issues which hit home for many women out there)

Boys of South Chapel The Complete Series by Abby Millsaps

This box set wrecked me in the best way.

I started this thinking I would pace myself and instead absolutely inhaled all 1200 plus pages. This series is emotional, funny, messy, steamy, and layered in a way that made it impossible to put down. It is not just a why choose romance. It is about survival, healing, found family, and choosing love even when it feels unsafe or terrifying.

Hunter is such a strong and vulnerable FMC. She has been through loss, trauma, and betrayal, and watching her fight for herself while living with PMDD felt incredibly real. This is genuinely the best PMDD representation I have ever read. It is honest, painful, and compassionate without ever feeling exaggerated or brushed aside.

The relationships are where this series really shines.
Greedy is first love and heartbreak tangled together.
Levi is warmth, humor, and emotional safety.
Spence is steady, dominant, and grounding.
Sione is soul deep connection and quiet strength.

The way these men love Hunter and the way their dynamic develops over time felt earned. The banter is so good. The emotional tension hits hard. The multiple POVs and dual timelines really let you understand how each of them got here and why this relationship works the way it does.

This series does not shy away from difficult topics. Mental health, grief, manipulation, and toxic family dynamics are all handled thoughtfully. There is real growth here and the payoff is worth every emotional moment. And the bonus scenes were truly chef’s kiss.

If you love why choose romance with depth, incredible character development, and found family energy that will live rent free in your head, this box set is a must read.

A box set of one of my favorite series! 
So Wrong: Wow! This book was something else! Written in both present tense with flashbacks to three years earlier, we get a sense of what happened in the past to get our beloved characters where they are today. And boy, did they go through a lot! I love the dynamics between Hunter, Levi and Greedy, individually and with each other. The way their relationships grew, matured, and endured over the three years of suffering is eye opening and heart wrenching. 
So Real: His Royal Highness has arrived! Holy Moly this book was amazing! The mental health aspect associated with PMDD was so well written, tugging on those emotions so hard. You couldn't help but feel for Hunter, her situation, everything she's had to overcome. But at the same time, rooting for each man in her life collectively, individually... like there's no real villain - other than her mom. Amazing read!

So Rare: Holy moly! I’ve always loved Hunter, from way back in Lake Chapel series. And her harem, which is slowly growing, just makes it, and her, better. Spence, I’ve loved him since book 1, Greedy, swoon, Levi, enough said without giving too much away. And last but definitely not least, Sione. I loved this addition to the harem. It was like the last puzzle piece that you didn’t know was missing but now that you have it, the puzzle is complete. Overall, the character development was phenomenal, the boys are getting along, working together instead of fighting each other all the time. Great story.

So Right: OMG, how can it be over already?! I started with the South Chapel series. While not required to read beforehand, I think you get more enjoyment from this series, especially this book, if you do. Many cameos from our South Chapel cohort, almost made this feel like a “world” finale or cross over novel and I. Was. Here. For. It. So much character growth, strength, trauma, steam, tears and love in this book! I loved everything about it and I’m so sad this series is over! Highly recommend both series!!

The Boys of South Chapel omnibus by Abby Millsaps absolutely wrecked me—in the best possible way. This completed four-book why-choose series took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and once I started, there was no stopping. Every cliffhanger had me immediately diving into the next book because I had to know what happened next.

Hunter’s story is deeply emotional, and the way each boy fits into her life felt intentional and meaningful. None of these relationships felt unnecessary—each one brought something different, and together they created something truly special.

• Greedy was her first love and her deepest heartbreak, and wow did their second-chance romance hurt. The “it has always been her” energy was strong, and the angst was deliciously painful.
• Levi, her former best friend turned not-so-fake boyfriend, added comfort, history, and emotional tension in all the best ways.
• Spence, the dominant, steadfast billionaire, felt like the backbone of the group—the quiet leader who holds everything together.
• Sione was her soul match and saving grace, and their connection felt deeply emotional and healing.

This is a MMMFM why-choose romance packed with angst, second chances, found family, and genuine mental health representation. The story doesn’t shy away from trauma or the messy process of healing, which made everything feel more real and impactful. Watching these characters grow—individually and as a group—was so wholesome and rewarding.

One of my favorite parts was how the group dynamics were written. The balance between separate relationships and the collective bond was done so well, and seeing them come together as a found family was incredibly satisfying. I also loved how characters from Boys of Lake Chapel were seamlessly woven into the story—it added so much depth to the world.

This series made me feel everything: heartbreak, hope, love, tension, and healing. If you love emotional, character-driven why-choose romances with strong found family vibes and high angst, Boys of South Chapel is 100% worth the read.

There weren't many stories in 2025 that I'd love a chance to read again for the first time, but this series is one of them. I was so excited to see all 3 got released together, so at least I could read them again and give Abby some page reads on KU lol FMC Hunter - two boys she has a history with - MMC Greedy (her step brother) MMC Levi (boyfriend-ish) and MMC's she met after them Spence and Sione (daddy vibes hello). This is a why choose of my favorite kind - we have boyfriends who are boy friends! WHOOOOO Anyway, in this series - we leaves home and Greedy and Levi - to get away, kinda find herself - but she meets Spence (add a billionaire boyfriend to the mix!) and later Sione in her travels. She returns home and back to the hurtful memories - also to Greedy and Levi. We get a dual timeline that ties Hunter to everyone. The three books flow one to the next, def check the triggers especially for So Real. So Rare might have been my favorite installment of the series, as the guys work together to protect Hunter and ends of a bit of a cliffy (ok it's a pretty big one lol) but luckily you get to go right on to the next book - So right. I loved how the relationships between the 4 guys continued to grow and we see some real depth. In all the books, the chemistry between the MC's is off the charts. AND with this nifty complete set - we get some amazing bonus scenes. I loved seeing in the future of how they overcame all the obstacles and got the life they all deserved together! Hunter has PMDD - and while I had some knowledge of the disorder - seeing it repped through 1200 pages was powerful and well written. There's also a bit of suspense/mystery storyline that runs throuh (that we get to see full resolution to) and if it's your jam - a not so accidental pregnancy!! This series is inner connected with her series Boys of Lake Chapel - and we both groups of characters interact- while I don't think you *need* to read it, I'd recommend you start there.

-Storyline
Honestly there is so much trauma hurt and comfort in these books it really hits you in all the feels. Do check your TWs but is such a fulfilling story of found family and supporting each other through everything 😍 it’s a great pace maintained throughout the four books and a true rollercoaster of bright moments and some heart wrenching ones! It keeps you turning as you need to know how they make it out 🥹
-Characters
Hunter = our FMC has had a horrible trauma and something she’s had to face alone which rocked her to her core, yet she soon begins to realise her strength and what she can do with a proper loving and supportive family around her 👑
Greedy = pseudo-enemy stepbrother, has he hang ups due to their shared past and relationship but the second chance means absolutely everything to him; he just needs to let go of that angst.😌
Levi = their shared bestie is a full on golden retriever who will do anything for those he loves…he just needs to admit his feelings 🥲
Spencer = the titles British gentleman who has everything under control and exerts his dominance with charm and being suave; he’s the rock in the storm ☺️
Sione = he’s a free thinker, healing soft kind of soul…exactly what they need and brings a balance to all the group 😊
-Bonus Scenes
Although its three extra scenes they really do add extra feels to their story of this found family 🥰 each scene is unique to the people involved and really showcases the connection between these characters 😃 two are seggsual in nature and one gives you all the family feels between Hunter and Josies men 😅

I love a good series, but getting the entire story in one book is the best: no waiting, no downloading the next installment, and no breaking the momentum. The Now/Then structure worked so well, moving the story forward while stepping back just enough to give important context to the relationships and emotions.

Hunter’s story is something else. The things she goes through are horrific, and yet she never completely stops moving forward, even if it’s only one small step at a time. I hated that she felt the need to run instead of fully exploring her feelings, but that avoidance also felt very real. Along the way, she learns more about herself, her limits, and how she can begin to cope with her past.

The four men in Hunter’s life are intensely in love with her, each in their own way. Greedy, her first love, carries such deep infatuation that never fades. The emotions he shows feel raw and honest, especially considering everything he’s dealing with internally. Kabir is pure comfort. The way he takes care of Hunter is the stuff dreams are made of: gentle when she needs softness, strong when she needs more.

Hunter’s journey with her men is powerful. While the book does an incredible job showcasing mental illness, it’s so much more than just a healing story. It’s about five people coming together, learning how to navigate each other, and facing the outside chaos that threatens them.

Watching this group truly form into a unit was amazing. And the addition of Joey and her men? Such a fantastic bonus that added even more depth to the story. I received this as an ARC and all this reflects my honest opinion.

So Wrong: It was only ever her.
So Real: I'm not giving you up for anything Daisy.
So Rare: We're endgame, love.
So Right: For you Mahina, I can do anything.

✨️arc review✨️
4,5🌟/5

What an interesting start for the boys of south chapel series!
I loved how we can have both present and past it’s like having more points of view in the story even if sometime I was a bit confused.
What was supposed to be just one night was so much more than that and when things gets hard hunter runs away so what’s gonna happen when he shows up to her door?!
The second book was intense, so much emotions are involved in So Real and i enjoyed every one of it , so many missing pieces that finally come together and you can’t wait to discover what’s gonna happen next.
With the third the reading keeps getting interesting and engaging!
Sione addition to the story was so good, he’s setting the perfect balance to the mix.
Greedy is my favorite, I love him, and bonus point is that he knows how to communicate and we love a men that knows how to do that.
The cliffhanger that we have at the end of the books are so entertaining i can’t get enough.
The boys of south chapel was for sure an intense beautiful journey.
As always Amy writing was amazing not a single doubt about that.
I’m so so happy that finally Hunter and her guys got their well deserved happy ending
I loved all 5 of them, but what i love the most is that we got to know and love them first as a single person and then as the amazing group that they are.
This series was so emotional, so well structured nothing was left behind not even a single detail and i personally loved that.
If you’re looking for a series that will keep glued to your kindle these books are what you’re looking for!

“When I see the way the guys look at me—and in some cases, the way they look at each other—I know that what we share is rare. Ours is a love worth fighting for. A love worth staying for. A love I'll cherish for my entire life.”
This box set contains the complete four book second chance romance series (plus
Three bonus scenes!) as it follows Hunter and her guys. It’s a beautiful (and spicy!) reflection that love comes in all forms and can thrive in all situations, and the road to a happily ever after isn’t always an easy one.
*So Wrong* introduces and explores Hunter’s forbidden relationship with her stepbrother, Greedy, and a fake dating relationship with his best friend, Levi. Honesty and vulnerability were showcased in this first book.
*So Real* introduces Spence to Hunter’s dynamic as she heads to London to heal after heartbreak. Spence is dominant but so caring, and everything she needed at the time. The importance of healing and self-rejection shone.
*So Rare* brings Hunter back to Levi and Greedy. The four of them learn to explore relationships together and apart, The emotions were high and acceptance was a theme throughout.
*So Right* introduces the final man to Hunter’s cohort, Sione, her soul match that brings reason and calm. They each would do anything to protect Hunter…and she chose all of them. They fostered and accepted a dynamic that worked for them. This final installment was super spicy!
Each book (except the last!) ended in a cliffhanger so I was so happy and satisfied to have had the opportunity to read them back to back.
4.5 stars overall
Thanks to the author and Valentine PR for the eARC.

Boys of South Chapel: The Complete Series includes So Wrong, So Real, So Rare, So Right, and 3 brand new bonus scenes. It follows Hunter, Greedy, Levi, Spence and Sione.

This entire series has my heart to the max. It's deeply emotional so make sure you have lots of tissues handy!!! Their journey each individually and as a cohort was a long, wild ride with a lot of turns around every corner. I swear there were times I was screaming at my kindle but I wouldn't have it any other way though because their HEA was so well deserved.

The way Abby writes is nothing but spectacular because she makes you feel connected to these characters. Their pain felt like my pain at times because it was just so raw and real. I also love that each male mmc offers something different to the table in regards to not only Hunter but to each other. Greedy, Levi, Spence and Sione did not mesh well at first but they were willing to make it work because of their love for Hunter.

The bonus scenes that were included really added a level of connection I didn't know I needed more of. They truly added something beautiful to this already amazing series. If you have not read it, please do! It’s such a fantastic series from start to finish!

You will enjoy this book if you like the following:
- Why choose
- Polyamorous Relationship

- Step-siblings (dated beforehand)

- Mental health (PMDD) rep

Thank you so much, Abby Millsaps, for the gifted copy!
