- Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024♾️ 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!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024First 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024Claire and Gibsie, Gibsie and Claire, without one there is not the other. Since the dawn of time it’s always been them. The best of friends and the cutest cat parents to ever exist, let me tell you their story hurts so good it’ll leave you in tears throughout the book.
This book was much heavier than I anticipated. Gibsie, beneath the funny exterior has so much he is hiding. When it all comes to the surface you’re left reeling and wanting to reach through the book and hug him and never let go. It is the perfect example of sometimes you just don’t know what people are going through, the ones who are the life of the party, the comedic relief in every room are often times the most broken.
And sadly that is our Gibsie, the beautiful broken boy.
But, like I said without Gibsie there isn’t Claire. Claire the slightly younger best friend who Gibsie would literally jump off a cliff for, the one he loves so much and wants to extend their friendship into something more, but he is afraid of not being everything she is worthy of. Everyone knows Gibsie but Claire knows both Gibsie and Gerard. Claire is the brightest of sunshine’s to not only her friends but also her Gerard. A light in his life, the calm to the storm inside his head, she is always there for him when he needs her, helping him through the things nobody sees. What unfolds is beautifully painful and in many ways so true to what is them. Each other’s intended.
Their story will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, you will get to navigate their friendship, but also their relationship right along side them. It is painful, it is heavy and heartbreaking but there are light and happy moments too. I will say the only thing I wish is that there was more. It is my hope that in the next books, we will get a glimpse at the two as a couple but all in all I am happy we got their story. It for me is a memorable one.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2024I absolutely love this series & was so excited for Gibsie & Claire's story. I could not have begun to imagine the pain I was about to read. This author writes the most beautiful stories; with each one I laugh, cry, and fall in love while reading. I feel like I know these characters and I'm 100% invested.
I am so very happy that in the end the sunshine & love was still there & I canNOT wait until their 2nd book.
The only absolutely grating aspect of the story was Lizzie. At this point I don't care to know anything more about her or read her books.
I have loved Gibsie & Claire from the first book, Binding 13
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2024I loved these two characters. Loved their relationship. Their banter was so enjoyable to read. The author does have a great way of describing feels and situation. It is good but the detail is a little derailing. To the point I was skip paragraphs because they would drown on and on. The book would be shorter and more enjoyable if it could get there with out taking so long to the point of the chapter and book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites
Taming 7 has become one of my favorites in the BoT universe. Like the rest of the series, I was laughing and then crying and it is so worth the reading, my favorite series ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars heartache
This final (for now) instalment of the Boys Of Tommen series felt incredibly different than the rest of the books. I’m not sure if it’s because of our main characters, Gibsie and Claire, are so wildly different from the Lynch siblings and their respective partners, or because the subject matter in this one was unlike the other two in so many ways, but this book almost felt like a standalone novel.
I had heartache from LITERALLY page one u til the end of the book. I was so proud of Gibsie during so many points, and I’m glad we got to see Claire do some maturing, although there were definitely aspects of this book that made me very unimpressed with her behaviour. It’s hard to be unbiased towards a character during a DUAL POV novel when you know more than they do at certain points.
If this truly is the last book (Chloe I’m coming for you if it is) then the ending unfortunately leaves me feeling a bit bereft. I understand that it would definitely be realistic, but I wish I could see what happens to our Core 10. I know there is speculation that Lizzie’s book is next but I think
Gibsie deserves a part two novel because we barely got to see ANY healing. His swimming lessons? His Garda statements ? His intimacy issues? I feel like nothing has been in his control yet and I want to see a book for Gibsie where he takes his life into his own hands finally and comes out healthy and working towards whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book ever
This book captured me and had me in a chokehold and it is probably my favourite of the series. I love Gerard and Claire and their dynamic together. I hoped we would see Gerards healing a little more but that probably would be a too long process. Just an amazing piece of art.
