THis is the second in the Boys of South Chapel series, This was such an emotional rollercoaster! This story adds so much more depth to the characters introduced in the first book, their character arcs came to a full circle. There is sizzling chemistry between the main characters, It is equal parts heartfelt and steamy, and just adds to the groups excellent dynamic. I love an audiobook that has a full cast of narrators, so the narration by June DeBorahae; J. River Pierce; Liam Dicosimo; Keval Shah hits the perfect mark. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy reverse harem, sports romance, lots of angst and spice.

This is a re-read for me as I read the book already but wanted to listen to the audio.

The way June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, and Keval Shah brought these characters to life was EVERYTHING. I didn't think I could love this series more, but they are all the perfect narrators for it.

Hearing the heartbreak in Greedy's voice makes it hit just that much harder.

Feeling the hope in Levi's voice broke my heart a little more.

Hearing the command in Spencer's voice was everything!

The way every single emotion played out in Hunter's voice really tied everything together and made this more of an epic journey.

this is one infuriating emotional listen,
I’m still Team Greedy, still mad at this girl Hunter and the men she lets in but give Greedy shits.
But Trust me this audiobook was so damn good with June Deborahae,
J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo and Keval Shah narrating the shitz out of this story .
These guys were pretty amazing especially Kaval Shah as the British billionaire Kabir Spencer, Shah totally brought home the British Protagonist in such a memorable way as the story picked up exactly from where it ended last.
My first time listening Kavah Shah and I wasn’t disappointed, although my only wish was that this audiobook was done in Duet Dual narration,
but Lordy I must admit that the narration was pretty good as the narrators all breathe life into this book!
PERFECTION.

🤍🩷When I met British billionaire Kabir Spencer at Splice London, he promised me an unforgettable night and nothing more. One night turned into a string of encounters, each one hotter than the next.
As our dynamic evolved, Spence helped me explore a side of myself I didn’t know existed until the moment I uttered the words Yes, Sir.
Then my secrets and my sorrow became too much to bear, and I well and truly broke.
During my lowest of lows, Spence cared for me in all the ways I needed.
Now, he’s come to my rescue once again, though he dropped a bomb of a secret when he arrived.🤍🩷


Let’s just say I’m Still Team Greedy, Hunter really did this guy dirty, especially when her billionaire Dom decided to stay.
Things were literally shaken up when this man showed up.
I literally hated how Greedy was treated during their interaction and disappointed at how quickly Levi folded to Spence Dominance among other things, but completely understand he put Hunter first before his BestFriend, but still I don’t forgive him because once again nobody puts Greedy first or stop to consider how unfair it was despite Hunter diagnoses.


🩷 “Maybe you should go to the doors and show your boyfriend and your brother just how perfect you look covered in my cum."🩷

Maybe I’m missing the point but this story has me all roiled up with emotions by just trying to understand Hunter reasoning for letting everyone else in except Greedy.
I know I keep saying this.. but damn it.. it’s infuriating!

Was Greedy blind to whatever she was struggling with?
Perhaps, but then how could he have known when she treated him so cruelly and didn’t stay to talk with him.
Should she have stayed and talk to him instead of running from all that was happening?
This girl is a certified track star with how she kept running away from these men because she has done it to the British billionaire who took care of her during her break down and I’m guessing he wasn’t her last either.

🩷🤍I have a lot of explaining to do to my current boyfriend and my ex-boyfriend-slash-stepbrother, but I’ll have plenty of time to get to it while we’re trapped together in the mountains for the holidays.
As if that isn’t enough, my narcissistic mother is back in town, and she and my stepfather will be joining us, too.
Nothing more didn’t last. Nothing I love ever stays.
It’s for the best. It’s only a matter of time before the possessiveness and sizzling tension between the three men in my life reach a boiling point and start to feel too real.🩷🤍


Let’s just say at the cabin is where it was all laid bare, the emotions were hard and explosive between Hunter and Greedy and Spence and Greedy… Levi was perhaps Switzerland and making Hunter his top priority while exploring the downright filthy dominant Spence.

"Teach him, Firecracker. Show him how to clean up every last drop."

"Fuck, love. I'm going to paint you with my cum and not even pretend to aim for your mouth."
"You're so fucking pretty like this, Daisy. So full of cock.

Buckle up as this British man is about to let loose his filthy degraded and Dominant self as he only can.
And while the ending let me in a quandary I’m deeply invested I’m what comes next as Hunter has alluded to yet again a shocker of a secret.. while she disappears again or was she taken?
Can’t wait to listen to the new interesting story.

So Real is the second book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a steamy second chance why choose romance that must be read in order. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

DNF at 20% I initially requested this thinking it was book 1. I listened to book one and didn't love it. I started book 2 and I am just not the intended audience for this series. I think the cover is very misleading for the content as well.

Was this review helpful?

This book is like a car crash that you can't look away from.

Do I hate the main character? YES
Do I think she deserves three men willing to do anything for her? No
Does Greedy deserve so much better? ABSOLUTELY YES
Did the addition of Kabir really screw up their whole dynamic? Yes, I hate him.
Was I enraged for more than half of the book? YES
Did it keep me interested and entertained? ......also yes
Will I be reading the next book? YOU BET YOUR A$$

I have been so back and forth on whether I loved this book or absolutely hated it, so I think my rating will have to land somewhere in the middle.

BUT I would say to skip the audio for this one and just read it physically if able. The accents are pretty whack and the "female voice" the male narrators use in their parts for Hunter were incredibly cringey, especially Greedy's narrator. If an audiobook does come out for the next book, I will definitely opt for the physical book instead.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this audio!!

4.5⭐️ THIS AUDIOBOOK🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️

when i got the audio ARC i ran and it didn’t disappointed. i’ve said it once and i’ll say it again: this series is so so incredibly underrated. the romance, the characters, the plot it’s all just 🤌🤌

first of all HELLO SPENCE?? this man is my husband and he’s so funny😭😭 the dynamic between the four of them was so so sweet but also fiery and they all work so well. Spence is there being the Big Bad Billionaire Boy™️ and Levi is bringing the golden retriever energy once again. Greedy had a rough start but he came back to being everyone’s favorite lover boy. And Hunter growth and challenges in this book made me hurt for her and she just needs her guys and a hug.

dear abby: THE CLIFFHANGER?? HELLO?? why would you mess up my family like that😔😔 im going to try to wait for the audio version of So Rare but at this point i might have to pick up the next one immediately!!

This was a fun read ! The way these characters all care for each pother melt my heart. I love that they just get each other. The characters were so fun and I was laughing out loud at certain parts! It does handle some darker topics so search your TW.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the advanced copy of the audiobook for "So Real" by Abby Millsaps, out now!

This is the second book in the Boys of South Chapel series. I listened to the first book on audio and this was one was just as good. Great for readers who enjoy audibooks. This series is not for everyone so definitely read the trigger warnings and tropes before picking it up. Check out the audio or physical copy now, especially if you've read book 1!

Was this review helpful?

Woah. I know the author warned reader about the darker topic that would show up in this series but I was not ready. This is book two in the series, and I feel like this was the book that showed us how we got to where they were in book one. This touching on some hard topics so make sure you check your triggers.

This picks up right where we left off in book one secrets are being spilled and new lovers have entered the chat! I loved getting to see new characters. We also had more spicy times in this book. The narrators did a fantastic job and I really felt the difference in the characters.

I really enjoyed this and can't wait to pick up book 3 because this one also ends in a cliffhanger.

Unfortunately, this audiobook wasn't for me. I am sure there is a target market of readers who will enjoy So Real, the second in the Boys of South Chapel book series, but I am not in that group. The characters skew a bit young for me, and I really do not like the audiobook narrators. Judging from the reviews on NetGalley and Amazon, I am surely in the minority as it's a beloved series!

Book Two in The Boys of South Chapel- it picks up right where they left us on that cliffhanger in book one. Be ready for an emotional journey.

The audiobook is narrated with a full cast by June DeBorahae, J. River Pierce, Liam Dicosimo, and Keval Shah. Loved having all the voices on this audiobook it really made the listening experience so much more engaging!!

So Real is the second book in the Boys of South Chapel series. It is a second chance, why choose romance that picks up where book one left off. I loved the dynamic between these characters. While I am not a fan of degradation, I mostly enjoyed the spicy scenes. You get so may feels. But I hated that cliffy and need book three asap.

Liam Dicosimo, Keval Shan, J. River Pierce and June DeBorahae did a good job bringing this story and these characters to life.

I listened to a audiobook and One important thing to note is that there is a full cast, but this is not a duet narration!

It was so interesting to be able to find out what went on with Hunter when she was out of the country for those few years. It definitely adds to the story and makes us see how strong of a heroine she is! I can’t wait to go into the next story!

love this series so i was excited to get this on audio! i might have been the problem here but something fell flat for me, maybe it was just the right book at the wrong time

I don't remember the first book being this smutty. It was good but unexpected!
looking forward to book 3!

A sexy, why choose, British hero, second chance romance from bestselling author Abby Millsaps.Nothing more.When I met British billionaire Kabir Spencer at Splice London, he promised me an unforgettable night and nothing more. One night turned into a string of satisfying encounters, each one hotter than the last.As our dynamic evolved, Spence helped me explore a side of myself I didn’t know existed until the moment I uttered the words Yes, Sir.But I kept our boundaries clear. While he could have my body, he couldn’t have my heart.Then my secrets and my sorrow became too much to bear, and I well and truly broke.But Spence didn’t leave.He stayed, and he cared for me in all the ways I needed during my lowest lows.Now, he’s come to my rescue once again, while also unceremoniously dropping a secret bomb on me when he showed up unexpectedly in North Carolina.I know I have a lot of explaining to do to my current boyfriend, Levi, and my ex/stepbrother, Greedy, but I’ll have plenty of time to do it since all four of us are headed to a remote cabin for the holidays.Levi. Greedy. Spence. And Me. All under one roof.Nothing more didn’t last, clearly. But no one I love ever stays.It’s probably for the best—I doubt the possessiveness and sizzling tension between the three men in my life will last before it explodes and starts to feel too real.

Thanks to NetGalley & Dreamscape Media for the ALC of this book!

So Real by Abby Millsaps is a highly entertaining why choose romance that’s heart-wrenchingly emotional as well as showcases gut-wrenchingly accurate representations of a chronic illness & grief along with beautifully hopeful time as new adventures, healing & blossoming beginnings start. I do highly recommend checking content warnings as this isn’t light.

This is book #2 in the Boys of South Chapel series. It cannot be read as a standalone.

I also recommend reading the Boys of Lake Chapel by this author. From my understanding they are intertwined & it is necessary to read both. & they are both phenomenal so I highly recommend reading them all!

So Real is great for those looking to read…

I have no words. The cliffhanger left me clamoring for the next book. I have so many curiosities & I will be excitedly counting down the days until then. I have so many questions & I am so intrigued, which is the best way to end a novel. The heart & the care for the detail the author provides as well as the important stories they are telling, which you understand further by reading their notes. I also appreciate the fascinating, unique & realistically imperfect characters that will win one’s heart:

I listened to the audiobook of this book & I loved the way the different characters were brought to life. I loved the multiple points of view & the multiple narrators that did such a good job with this story. I listened at 2x speed & it was the perfect speed for my ADHD brain.

This series is on my 5 star favorites of the year list & I highly recommend!

Massive thanks to NetGalley & Dreamscape Media for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

4.25⭐️ 3🌶️

The amount of love that Greedy, Levi, and Kabir have for Hunter is truly heart warming. They all truly are what she needs in each of their own ways. The mental illness and miscarriage representation in this story made my heart hurt for Hunter. I absolutely despise Magnolia. I’ll definitely be continuing the series!

After the cliffhanger from book 1 I was ready to dive into So Real! It picked up right off and the tangle of their lives just gets more twisted with every chapter! The angst is real in this story and I can't wait for more!
