Boys of Lake Chapel: The Complete Series by Abby Millsaps

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

This the the complete Boy’s of Lake Chapel series in one book. I had never read this series but it was on my wish list. This book contains Too Safe, Too Fast, Too Far, Too Sweet, Decker the Halls, and two bonus scenes.

This is the story of Joey, Decker, Kylian, Kendrick, and Locke. Joey is a girl who has gone to school to be a cosmetologist and is working in a senior center. One of her clients though passes away and leaves her some money. This is all that Joey needs to fulfill the promise she made to that lady to live her life. Get out and do the things she wants to do. Joey decides she is ready to go to college and get her degree. She has a uncle she can live with and is so grateful for his help. Being a older student on campus it does’t take her long to realize who the big men on campus are and she is really attracted to Locke to begin with. They have a date and a moment. When she gets a job at a spa, she never expected for Locke and one of his buddies Kendrick to show up. But when she approaches them as they are leaving the response she gets from them is shocking and concerning. Now she finds herself taken to Decker’s house and told she could not leave without one of the guys with her until they make sure that she is not about to spill what she has just seen. However, Joey never saw a thing. But Decker refuses to believe her no matter how many times she says she didn’t see. All of these guys are involved with the football team. Decker has a father that is a really famous football player to this day. He is the protege. The future Star and the plan is for he and Kendrick to join the draft together. Locke has other plans and I don’t want to say way. Kylian is a guy who is all about numbers, and this is how he finds his peace. He suffers from ADHD and has certain ways with coping. However, he is so smart that he is the guy show does the stats and calls the plays during their games. When he is tasked with watching Joey and her being with him during the games they quickly form a bond. However, everything is not as it seems and I don’t know that I can tell you more about this story. This book reads more like one constant story and I really loved that. The ending of one book, I don’t think I even noticed I was so focused on this story. At times I was on the edge of my seat at the things that were going on in the book. I loved all the guys. They each brought something different to the table but I really loved how they cared for and took care of Joey. They all had nicknames for her so it wasn’t confusing to know which one was speaking to her. Decker was a little bit of a hard butt, who at times would really get under my skin. But he is also the leader of the pack for lack of better words. I loved reading this book. I was so invested in what was going to happen next. I really felt of Joey at times. The girl has such intense panic attacks that you could feel them bleeding off the page. I have panic attacks and I’d almost lose my breath at times reading what she was going through. This of course is a why choose romance. One that you are going to love every single second of. You do not want to miss it.
