Taming 7

Gerard Gibson keeps an entire school entertained with jokes that cover a childhood he has never talked about. Chloe Walsh turns to Gibsie and Claire Biggs in this entry of the Tommen sequence, following a friendship that has lasted since they were children on the same street and the damage sitting beneath his humour. Claire sees the side of him nobody else is shown and is determined to reach it; the novel tests whether that closeness survives once the lines between them move. Expect long-form emotional storytelling with heavy themes handled at length rather than skimmed. Key threads: • Friends-to-more romance rooted in a lifelong neighbourhood bond • A hero using comedy to manage unresolved trauma • Part of the Irish school-set series following the Tommen cast • Written for readers who prefer long, character-driven romance Best for new-adult romance readers following the series and for anyone who likes emotionally heavy storylines.
