📖 I have always been a why choose lover and this is def going to be a new fav series, I can tell already! I absolutely LOVE Abby’s writing! Joey is such a great FMC — she is strong, but has a past that has pain, making her a complex and layered character with some mystery. The guys are amazing as well — they are all different and react in such varying ways to Joey showing up on the scene! If you are going in expecting a full on dark romance with kidnapping vibes, this is not it. This is definitely a romance with darker themes, but these guys treat their girl well, though they may be misguided at times (cough, Decker, cough 🤣). One of my absolute fav things about this book is the incredible representation — two of the guys deal with chronic pain (RA + lupus), another is on the spectrum, and Joey has anxiety that can lead to panic attacks and more severe issues. As someone who deals with chronic pain (an autoimmune arthritis in the RA family) I love to see characters like me in books! I have no doubt by the end of the series I am going to love all the guys equally, but right now I am falling HARD for Kylian (who doesn’t love stats daddy?!) and Locke is firmly in second place. Decker and Kendrick have some work to do, but I’m sure this is all according to Abby’s master plan. And wowwww that cliffy was a painful one! I’ll be starting book 2 in T-minus 3 seconds!
🎧 This audio was phenomenal! All three narrators did an incredible job — the casting was absolutely on point!! June deBorahae narrated the majority of the book as most is from Joey’s POV and she was magnificent. Her transition from narrator internal voice to dialogue was always very clear, as were her transitions in dialogue between all characters which was an impressive feat with the number of characters she had going on. She truly blew me away as Joey though. The emotion she showed was incredible — going from tough and ready to go head to head with anyone, to exceedingly compassionate and kind, to anxious and sucked into memories of the past.
Vincent Skye voiced Decker, Locke, and Kylian and did a great job with all of them. Each was voiced in a way that was fitting for their character and personality. I especially love the way he portrayed Kylian.
And last but not least, Ace Bentley narrated the part of Kendrick to perfection. His portrayal was so fitting for his tough and grumpy ways. While Kendrick only had one POV chapter in this book, Abby tells me we can expect more from Ace as Kendrick in the next one!!

Amazing Story & Narration🎧 Intriguing Series Start!
Format: Kindle
Too Safe
Boys of Lake Chapel
By: Abby Millsaps
Narrated by: June deBorahae, Vincent Sky, Ace Bentley
This is my first book written by Abby Millsaps and she completely blew me away. It is always great to check out new authors and even greater when they leave a huge impression on you, and that is exactly what Ms. Millsaps did. “Too Safe” is an amazing start to the “Boys of Lake Chapel” series, a steamy ‘why choose’ reverse harem sports romance and wow, that ending sure leaves you wanting more, no make that, needing more. Josephine “Joey” Meyer is turning things around for herself, starting over in a new town and college, Lake Chapel University, with a full ride scholarship. When she arrives at the school, four men greeted her, and the first words one of them says is “she is a girl”. Turns out, they were expecting the recipient of the Crusade Scholarship to be a male, and that would not be the last she sees of those four guys, Decker “Cap” Crusade, Kylian, Kendrick Taylor and Nicholas “Locke” Lockwood. Decker, Locke and Kendrick are star football players for their school’s team, and Killian, a geek, runs the stats for the team. Each one of these characters is as intriguing as the next, and we are just getting to know them and there is more to come. There is a lot of mystery behind Joey’s past, and there is a lot more to learn about each of the guys. Joey clicked with Locke, but a misunderstanding puts her in the hot seat with the guys, who vote on what to do with her and that is why she wound up living in to their elaborate home, the home of the popular boy where everyone flocks to for their massive parties. I loved how everything played out in this book, the writing, plot and world building are absolutely fantastic, as are the character growth and development. There is never a dull moment, drama is non-stop and there is some angst, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance reverse harem style. Abby Millsaps, thank you for this amazing story and the wild ride.
🎧📚🎧 June deBorahae, Vincent Sky, and Ace Bentley were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life and do so with a complete understanding of who they are portraying, giving each a voice that is fitting. I loved how they took their roles and owned them, sounding believable and just as I imagined the characters to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration elevates this already amazing story to another level. Thank you for this fantastic listen.

great start to a series
Format: Kindle
This was my first read from this author, and I am intrigued to continue the series!
This is a college, why choose, between 4 football guys and the new girl in town. The FMC, Joey, is accused of seeing something she shouldn’t and is forced to move in with the guys in their isle until the end of football season.
Joey is a girl who’s had a shit hand in life, but has continued to persevere. She deals with silent demons but doesn’t let them take control of her life. She has spunk and doesn’t cower.
Kylian is the BEST. Hands down my favorite! He’s our blunt, neurodivergent cinnamon roll.
Locke is a close second, he’s all about Joey from the moment they meet.
Decker - now he’ll grow on you, I’m curious to see how he expands in book 2.
Kendrick- not a fan lol. But there’s always a least favorite in these stories.
This is a slow burn, but to be expected when there are multiple MMC to contend with.
This story had good flow, and really grabbed my attention. I read in one sitting. I plan to continue the series!
