Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, 5)

♾️ stars for claire and gibsie!!!MY BABIES!!! I love Claire and Gibsie so much, this book did not disappoint! This entire series is etched into my heart forever. these characters are so special and the found family that they all have is everything. I can’t wait for the rest of the series.words cannot describe how much i love these characters!! claire is the epitome of sunshine and gibsie is her other half in every way. these two were made for each other, nobody else could match their energy. this book had me kicking my feet giggling one minute and crying the next. i loved getting glimpses of moments from the past, seeing how these best friends who love each other so deeply have gotten to where they are. there are so many parts of themselves they hide from everyone else but can always be their true selves with each other. claire-bear and her gerard, they’re truly each other’s person in every sense of the word.gibsie is a flirt and he’s always the friend ready to make a joke out of anything, always putting on a mask so nobody can see how he’s really feeling underneath. claire is the only one that’s able to break down his walls just to get a glimpse in. their friendship is so special and it’s clear how much love they have for each other, their love has always meant more but the risk of jeopardizing their friendship has been too much. for them, it always has been and always will be each other, they are soulmates.claire is strong willed and always going to stand up for what she believes is right (even if she doesn’t always go about it in the best way). she loves fiercely and isn’t afraid to show it.there is so much heartache in these books, but also so much love and laughter. having moments where gibsie and claire are taking care of their cat family are a breath of fresh air after everything else these characters go through.the found family in this series is everything, i love seeing how much johnny loves gibsie like a brother. seeing johnny and shannon thriving is everything and joey and aoife with their little family make my heart happy. these characters feel like home to me and im so excited for everyone to experience claire and gibsie’s love.i cant wait for the next book, my tissue box is ready!

This story is just as heart wrenching as the others, but it’s not as funny. Gibsie was the main culprit behind all the pranks and hijinks so zooming in and focusing on his trauma meant the levity was significantly cut. But the topics and issues everyone faced because of the central conflict was deeply moving and insightful. While the series will never be my favorite and I spend each book slogging through a lot of redundant inner monologues early on I still really enjoy it. I’m excited to read the next book, but I’m going to be incredibly annoyed if the author goes backwards in the time line instead of forwards like she’s been want to do.Also, side question - does anyone know if this is multiple people writing under one pen name or just one person? Because the little flip flops in details from Shannon’s hair color to major issues like tone and voice have me seriously questioning the notion of whether this is all coming from one person’s mind alone.

I have loved this entire series. As soon as I finished one book I immediately started the next. I am so invested in these characters and think about these books when I'm not actively reading them.I actually think this is the first review I've ever written for anything on Amazon, and while I did love this book, I have to say it needed to be edited much better than it was. I read the kindle version so I don't know if the print version is different, but there were a lot of mistakes in this book. Not just spelling, but there were times when the wrong name was used. Example being: towards the end of the book, at the dance when Shannon is talking to Claire, she says that Johnny is looking for Gibs and that he will bring him home. "Because he will find him, Shan. He won't stop until he does" ...Shannon is the one talking.This may seem like a petty review, but as someone who reads a lot, I just find it annoying when I have to go back and reread something because it wasn't caught during editing. Figured I would write this to let anyone else who is like me that there are quite a few errors. This is the only books out of the five currently released that I noticed this with. Still 100% worth the read though.

Dear Author Chloe Walsh, this book was exceptional! I was deeply immersed and it was so hard to put this book down! I never once have been so drawn to the characters the way I was with this book. I found myself laughing hysterically or sobbing. I've followed each of the characters in this series but this one, this one struck a chord. There were instances where I wanted to reach out and hug them! I am not a big reader but you changed this for me. Thank you for your talent to put emotions on paper and evoke them in return.

First off, I LOVED this book!! It was literally amazing!! I loved how we got so much content from all of the characters! Claire and Gerard are the sweet couple in the world. They are quite literally soulmates 🥹. I just LOVE them together!Second, I was NOT expecting the plot twist. My heart is seriously broken. Like how am I supposed to move on after that??⚠️spoilers ahead⚠️There’s a couple reasons why I didn’t give it 5⭐️:1. By the end, I do feel like I had some unanswered questions. Like what happened to Mark? Did they ever find him? Was he brought to justice? Will we find that out in the next book??2. Lizzy’s behavior was a little too much. I am disappointed that her character redemption will have to be in future books. I left this book with even more disdain towards her for obvious reasons.
