Chloe Walsh does it again with Redeeming 6, delivering another emotionally raw, unflinchingly honest, and beautifully redemptive installment in the Boys of Tommen series. This book isn’t just a romance—it’s a gut-wrenching exploration of trauma, addiction, love, and the quiet resilience it takes to heal.

Joey Lynch has been a standout character from the very beginning, but finally stepping into his POV was like diving headfirst into deep, turbulent waters. Walsh doesn't sugarcoat his pain or his past—she lets us feel every moment of his unraveling, his struggle to stay afloat, and the crushing pressure that addiction places on not just him, but everyone around him. His journey is harrowing, and yet you can't look away. His pain is palpable, but so is his will to fight, and you root for him on every page.

Aoife Molloy is the perfect counterbalance to Joey’s chaos. Her love isn’t soft or passive—it’s fierce, stubborn, and unwavering. She’s fighting her own battles, trying to make sense of a world she was never prepared for, but her loyalty to Joey never falters. Aoife is not here to save Joey; she's here to stand beside him, push him, and refuse to give up when everyone else would. Their relationship is messy, real, and incredibly moving.

The dual POV adds an extra layer of depth to an already powerful story. Watching both characters struggle, fall apart, and try to rebuild themselves—sometimes for each other, sometimes for themselves—makes this one of the most heartfelt and unforgettable romances in the series so far.

What sets Redeeming 6 apart is Chloe Walsh's talent for grounding very real, very heavy issues in characters you can't help but love. This isn’t just about romance—it’s about survival, self-worth, and finding light in the darkest of places. Joey and Aoife’s story broke my heart in all the best ways, and I know I’ll be thinking about them for a long time to come.

If you've followed the Boys of Tommen series, this is the emotional climax you've been waiting for. And if you're new to it—start from the beginning. These aren’t just characters, they’re experiences, and Redeeming 6 is a standout testament to the power of second chances.

Next stop: Taming 7—and I can’t wait.

Need to read the rest of the series, but enjoyed this one!

(Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.)

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. Chloe Walsh has my heart and I will officially read anything she writes.

Chloe Walsh is a surprise in my life. She writes amazingly emotion-filled books which hit you right where you need it.

Chloe Walsh is incredible, and I'm obsessed with her writing and the characters she creates. The depth these characters have -- the found-family aspect and the way they lean on each for support -- it's unmatched! 5 million stars

This book destroyed me and put me back together in a way I was expecting but clearly not fully prepared for. Who would’ve known I would deeply love this series SO much? I’m already unprepared for the emotions I’ll be feeling when I reread this series. This is one of the most heart wrenching series, and yet I keep asking for more and more pain. My heart guides 99% of everything in my life and that also includes my feelings on books and what the books make me feel.

I loved this book and love this series and I can’t wait to be emotionally traumatized even more in the future by Chloe Walsh.

It’s been months and my heart still hurts for Joey. I felt a bit let down by this one, mostly bc Aoife felt like a whole different character than from earlier in the series. She went from having a sassy edge to completely off the rails, however, the situation did call for some psychological turmoil. I did have to put this one down for a bit because I lost interest but the ending did give me closure and a sense of hope for these two.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to post an honest review.

Redeeming 6 has my heart in a chokehold. I just want to give Aloife and Joey a hug. I’m slightly disappointed at the ending. I wish the book showed more of Aloife, Joey and the baby after rehab. They went through so much with heartbreak and addiction and wish it showed more.

Chloe Walsh's world is so fun and interconnected, I feel like all of these characters are so real, that they're mine, I want to protect them all.

This series has my heart, I was able to read all of them within a week. I really can’t put into words how much I have enjoyed reading this series!

Ugh. What is there to say about this series that hasn't already been said before? Chole Walsh packs so much emotional damage into these books with slow burn, yearning filled romances.

NetGalley Review — my rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“Reedeming 6” by @authorchloewalsh is the second book of Joey & Aoife and 😍😍😍😍😍 what’s not to love? Omgggg.

Now bear with me, it’s long. It took me 4 days (and one of those was a travel day) and it was so worth it. The story of Joey and Aoife is one for the ages.

If you haven’t picked up the Boys of Tommen series, why are you waiting so long?! It’s absolutely gut-wrenching and full of triggers but so so so good.

This book is out now so go on, git! 🏃🏼‍♀️ Big thanks to @read_bloom for the ARC!

Emotional Heartfelt Ride!

Thank you NetGallary for an early review copy of Redeeming 6!

I absolutely loved this book!

This book hooked me from page one and would not let me go!

Storytelling at its Best! This book is heavy and has it all, angst, love, heartbreak, addiction, steam!

Character development was excellent!

Chloe Walsh just keeps amazing me with her brilliant writing!

I don’t want to give a spoilers away. I will say Chloe is an amazing author did not disappoint!

Spice and Joey’s story is another Masterpiece!

I gave this book 5 stars! I could not turn the pages fast enough! If I could give more stars I would!

Well done! What a great read!

Just finished "Redeeming 6" by Chloe Walsh, and honestly, my emotions are all over the place! This book is the intense finale in the Boys of Tommen series, and it doesn't hold back. Joey and Aoife, our heroes, are as real and raw as ever. Joey, with the weight of the world on his shoulders, and Aoife, the unwavering fighter, kept me rooting for them through every page.

There's so much happening—heartbreak, school changes, and those unexpected twists that only Chloe Walsh can deliver. I loved the dynamic between Joey and Aoife, their love and resilience shine throughout the story, even when the odds are against them. Their relationship truly tests the boundaries of what young love can handle.

The supporting characters, especially Gibsie and Claire, add such richness to the story, making me excited for what's next. And yes, the moments of levity with their playful banter provided much-needed breaks from the emotional turmoil.

I’m giving "Redeeming 6" a solid 3.5 stars. While it was a rollercoaster that had me tearing up more than once, some parts felt a bit overwhelming. Still, this book is a testament to Chloe Walsh's ability to weave compelling, heart-wrenching narratives. Definitely worth the read if you're prepared for a serious emotional workout!

I love this Series this is one book that tugs at my heart and makes me cry so very easily I would give it 5/5

I absolutely loved this book! I can’t get enough of Johnny and Aoife. They are just too perfect for each other.

My heart is broken and healed and hurting so freakin much. Joey Lynch is such a phenomenal character. I knew going into this book that it was going to hurt, a lot, which is why I think I put it off for a little bit. And I was right, this hurt so much. To be inside Joey’s head for two whole books was such a rollercoaster. But seeing through his eyes through the big things that we read about in the two 13 books was HARD. I cried so many times. And I absolutely loved getting to know Aoife too, I’m so thankful we got her POV through everything. Shes such a strong character, seriously one of my fav fictional women ever. Her love for Joey is unmatched. And his love for her is overwhelming in the best most all consuming way. as always, I adored getting bits of all the other characters as well, especially my love Gibsie. My only complaint is I wish we would have gotten more of the story after August 30, 2005 and maybe less of the stuff that comes before? I know that’s vague but I’m trying not to spoil anything. Thank you endlessly for giving us these characters Chloe, but also darn you for hurting my heart so much through all of these books!


Thank you to Bloom and NetGalley for the early access.

This book hooked me in from the first chapter. I loved the character development and how the story progressed.

I am loving this series so much. It has been so emotional and i am so invested. It has its hooks so deep into me. It’s very lengthy yes but with this particular series i find that i dont mind it. Thank you so much NetGalley for the arc. *chefs kiss*
