Jumia Books Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, 5) by Chloe Walsh

Taming 7 (Boys of Tommen, #5) by Chloe Walsh is an emotionally charged new adult romance centered on Gerard “Gibsie” Gibson and Claire Biggs, childhood best friends whose relationship teeters between deep friendship and romantic love. Gibsie, known as the jokester, hides the trauma of losing his sister and father and the sexual abuse he endured as a child beneath a cheerful facade. Claire is the sunshine to his storm, caring deeply for him and determined to support and "tame" his wild heart.

Their journey explores themes of trauma, healing, mental health, and the complexities of friendship evolving into love. Gibsie struggles with shame and fear around his past abuse and relationships, while Claire grapples with her loyalty, love, and codependency.

The narrative weaves through their personal growth, external conflicts, and how they face a fractured friend group while trying to protect their connection. Key moments include confrontations with past abusers, revelations of dark family secrets, and moments of vulnerability that deepen their bond.
