Review: So Rare left me speechless. This book has the cliffhanger of ALL Abby cliffhangers and I am on pins and needles awaiting book four! I found that Hunter truly came into her own in this book and I adored the addition of Sione to the group in So Rare. Abby was able to bring the last male into the relationship in such a way that added a ton of layers to the story yet also felt exceedingly perfect. The emotional rollercoaster that So Rare took me on would not have felt complete without Sione coming in with his age old wisdom and calming personality that lead to a strengthening of the whole group as a whole. 
 
So Rare is the most complex book so far in Hunterโ€™s story and I did not see that twists and surprises that Abby added into this book coming. Hunter truly embodies a resilience that is rare to find in FMCs and the part of her story told in this book demonstrates how strong she is even when she believes she is not. Abby was also really good at showing her growth and maturity in this book as she decides to stay and fight the battle her mother is putting her through head on. 
 
This book was hawt and spicy in a FULL STOP Abby fashion, but that parts that I truly loved in this book were the inclusion of Joey and her men from the Boys of Lake Chapel series. Seeing Joey and Hunter together again was everything to me and I LOVED the support and friendship that Abby shows between these two fierce FMCs. I also loved and swooned over the mushiness Decker had with Hunter when everything comes to a head!! Abby really amped up the plot in So Rare and I CANNOT wait to see what she does next! 
 
Rating: 4/5, hands up for Hunter and  her men so far!
