I'm writing this while I lay in bed, hours after finishing Tame, sleep evading me, just soaking in the absolute fucked up perfection that is Noah and Teagan.
It's good Chloe. It's soooo good. It's beyond good. It's looking back at good like "yoooou whooo, goooood? Where are you?".
I'll be honest, I'm a sucker for romance and a HEA, and I enjoy most of the books I read. But not like this. For me, it's not often an author can make their characters jump out of the pages and take hold somewhere inside of me. That's what Teagan and Noah do. I feel everything they feel. The hurt, love, loneliness, betrayal, trust, lust, angst, protectiveness, need, sacrifice... I felt it all. And it's terrifying, and heartwarming, and uplifting and totally addictive. It's an amazing package filled with heat, wit, humour and passion.
It's something to be amazingly proud of Chloe, and I hope to god you are, so, so damn proud of yourself.
What it all comes down to is you. I know you worry about disappointing your fans, but you need to know, that as long as you keep doing what you're doing, putting all of yourself into your work, you could never disappoint us. That's what you do, underneath Noah and Teagan, Kyle and Lee... underneath them all, there's you, and that's the real magic. You are such an inspiration.
It's so good Chloe.
As you would say, I love your bones x

Super spicy! I loved this one while they rekindled their love. Such an underhyped series. Happy ending! This one was my favorite so far!
February 17, 2017
Wow what the hell happened to me?
I rarely cry in books, and in this one nothing really heart wrecking happens and still I cried the whole time.. How is that possible? I don't understand, but I must say Chloe Walsh is a damn great writer! Normally I only cry in books when one of my favorites dies and now I don't even know the reason.. This was also one hell of a ride, the whole time I was thinking yeah now the bad guy is come on surface again. But no now it where other bad men.
I felt so damn sorry for Teagan and wanted to kick Noah in the balls myself! How damn frustrating that whole thing was.. But I really enjoyed this one! I gave this one 5 stars because it's a great read and Walsh made me cry, I think I needed that.
But still I can't get over the fact that Tommy Noah's best and longest friend is against Teagan and isn't coming realize that everything is different now then when they were younger. That's not the way best friends look after each other!

I’m a bit disappointed in this book. I did like it but it’s mostly because I’m so invested in this couple. The plot here just wasn’t as strong as the previous books. Honestly it feels like this book was unnecessary, this could’ve been a 2 book series and I think I would’ve been happy with that.
The miscommunication just keeps going on and by the third book is just getting annoying. These people don’t talk, they just fight and have sex. At this point the relationship felt so toxic that I just wanted them to break up at some point.
In the previous book I loved how Noah matured but here it feels like he too 10 steps back. I think the next book in the series is the last of this couple and hopefully I’m just hoping that they grow the f*ck up.
Like I said, I didn’t hate this book. It kept me entertained and wanting to know what happens next but they do seem to be having the same arguments over and over.

Noah F*cking Messina
5 STARS
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tame is the third novel in the Carter Kids series and Mrs. Walsh keeps outdoing herself! I have never finished a book and immediately wanted to start a reread! I would have given Tame 10 STARS if possible!!
We jump right back into the world of Noah and Teagan. The high energy, action packed romance that keeps Mrs. Walsh's readers on the edges of there seats begging for what comes next!
Chloe Walsh was able to write a story that not only made readers experience a wide range of emotions in a few hundred pages but she brought her characters to life. Noah and Teagan no longer resided in her wonderful mind.
Noah's high energy, quick temper and protectiveness over his girl (except when his head was a bit to far up his ass) - and Teagan's mood swings, ability to stay strong through the hardest of times (she lived without Noah for years), and the grace to deal with his abusive training team (I wish I could that punch Lewis)! Chloe Walsh's characters are strong apart but even stronger together!
Patently awaiting Torment!!

Dude. I’m gonna need a minute. Breathe in. Breathe out. Don’t mind me, sprawled out on the floor clutching my kindle, crying my eyes out. I need some wine. Lots of wine. And a hug. I just can’t get over the fucking perfection that is Noah Messina. He even makes pussy whipped look good. Perfection.

I didn't think it could get any better and yet again, Chloe has proven me wrong and taken my breath away. There are no words. I thought I was prepared for this book. I thought being in the know, and reading all these snippets prepared me for what I was about to read. It didn't. There are no words to describe the rollercoaster ride of emotions that is Tame. It's so hot it suffocated me. It's amazing just how much the characters have grown, Noah Messina and Teagan Connolly, two characters who have come a long way from their teen years. And in that, their love has grown and it's just a beautiful thing to read about. This book consumed me. It reached into my chest and took hold of my soul, demanding to be read and to be heard. If I could give this book 100 stars, I would. Because I know how much work and effort was put into this book and I could feel it whilst I was reading. Big thumbs up to Chloe for giving us Noah Messina and his quick temper, as well as, Thorn and her sass. Not to mention the vulnerable moments too. The moments where it was soooo relatable and downright heartbreaking, I had to stop and take a moment to breathe. Thank you Chloe! This book MUST be read. It DEMANDS it of you and honestly, it would be the best decision you'll have ever made. Can't wait for Torment!

Tame. The wait was worth it! Chloe Walsh has an amazing gift for making figments of her imagination seem like real people with quirks, flaws and personality. This book just envelopes you from chapter one and I couldn't stop until I'd finished.
Another 5 star read from Chloe Walsh, but what else would you expect?!
Thanks for all the brilliant one-liners :-D

I don't feel that to much happened in this book. Besides 2 events ( Tommy and pregnancy) the story really didn't progress that much and it ended on another cliff hanger!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

This book was a big miss for me. I feel like there's nothing happening of importance for 90% of the book. It sucks cuz Binding 13 is one of my favorite series ever. This is not the same. I probably won't continue the series.

MESSINA= hot as alpha as usual
I dont think I could ever get tired of that man! Or Teagan's personality. I've read so much from Chloe and I absolutely love her! And to you C~I am so ecstatic you felt you couldn't wrap up their story, i cant get enough! So I'm so hungry for Noah that I'm on to the next to gobble him up some more! 4 books on that man, I have no damn problem with it!

Eh
I was disappointed with book three of Noah and Thorns journey. The book seemed really short to me and I believe that was mostly due to the constant flash backs and repeats and the sudden stuff from the past we hadn't seen before. However I haven't read the other books so I assume they are last minute additions to tie into the others. **spoilers ahead** I feel like Noah not believing Thorn was not plausible. First we beat a set up plot twist half to death by reusing it; then we continue by having him refused to listen or believe her. Isn't that a whee too ironic? Noah's constant bringing up of the ONE time Thorn slept with someone else constantly is a bit degrading. What century is this? Meanwhile, how many women did he sleep with? What because she previously had had a relationship with the guy she banged it suddenly makes it ten times worse than the dozens of women he slept with?? The next big thing I had an issue with is the pregnancy. In 20 weeks of pregnancy no educated adult could put two and two together? Besides Noah and Thorns they were constantly surrounded by 3-5 other adults. Not to mention Noah knew he wasn't using condoms and he knew he admitted to himself trying to tie her down with a baby! So he sees her swelling belly and thinks bulimia instead of pregnancy?! Then he freaks out about parenting when he had been trying to get her pregnant?!
I love love love Thorn and Noah. I want their journey to be fun, intoxicating and nerve wracking like it use to be not this poor semblance of it now.

2⭐️ I’ve never had the misfortune of reading about a more annoying, immature, deranged, stupid fmc. I hate this chick with a passion. Teagan is basically Lizzie from BOT but 100x worse! For the life of me I couldn’t understand what Noah saw in Teagan or why he put up with all her crap! She clearly needed professional help, because a sane woman wouldn’t act like that. There was nothing to love about this woman.
And look, I am not saying that Noah was perfect in this book or that he wasn’t a big hypocrite for getting mad at Teagan for sleeping with Liam (once) during their 7 year separation, when he clearly did the same thing (with more than one woman) after he was released from prison. But he was never as unhinged as Teagan was. For 3 entire books, all this woman did was scream like a crazy person. I am not even joking. Every time they had the mildest disagreement or if something didn’t suit her, she would start screaming at him. And I accepted her childish behavior in book 1, back when she was 17 because I thought she would grow as a character in the books to come, but this is the third book out of 4 of them, and nothing has changed.
I am so disappointed and sad because if it wasn’t for Teagan‘s ugly personality and all the constant arguments they kept having, this series could have been an easy 4 stars. Usually, I am fine with some arguments here and there or with a bit of toxicity in my romance books (as long as it remains fictional), but when all they do is argue, that’s when I start to lose interest in a book/series.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
Teagan and Noah just keep getting better. I love this series.
So we are back with Noah and Thorn, back in the states on tour, running from a mad man and dealing with bullies.
Noah and Teagan are getting back to being them, a couple who are either fighting or going at it. Teagan is so sassy and such a thorn in Noah's side but she is brilliant takes no nonsense from anyone will do whatever it takes to show No ah she is in this for the long haul.
Poor Teagan has to deal with Noah's team who are anything but pleasant to her. Constantly putting her down, sneering at her bullying her at every opportunity and the. They try to mess with her and noah's relationship.
Noah's is oblivious to how Teagan is being treated and tries so hard to make her happy love G her the only way he knows how but his insecurities are always there believing g that she is going to run again!
I love these two as a couple they shouldn't work but they so do.
To say there are a few bumps I. The road for these two is an understatement but it's so well written, it's heartbreaking but hilarious at the same time "you couldn't do a carrier bag in the state your in" has to be one of the best lines I have heard from a heroine.
Chloe Walsh has done it again with this book I loved it, I don't care that this is not the last in The series as we though as it means it's not over yet and I can't wait for the next one.

Another great read by Chloe.
Wow another emotional read from Chloe, following on from Thorn we catch up with Teegan and Noah going on tour. Poor Teegan has to put up with a lot while on this tour especially from Noah's staff, who try making life as hard as possible for her.
You just can't help rooting for them to over come everything that is thrown in their path.
I've read all of Chloe's books and they just keep getting better.

Chloe's done it again!!
The third installment of Noah and Teagan's story doesn't disappoint and the fourth and final book cannot come fast enough. Its got the love hurt anger and lust we expect not just from Chloe but from Noah and Teagan as well. If you've already read the first two books you will not be able to read this one fast enough!!

Once again a fantastic story from Chloe Walsh.
It gave me all the feels. It brought back some amazing characters which I loved hearing about.
Every page left me wanting more. I cannot wait for Torment to come out.
I would recommend this series to everyone.

Noah 'Fucking' Messina...oh, how you make my heart melt. Just no words to describe how much I love this series. Those Carter men have me all twisted up
April 19, 2017
She does it again... I just can't get enough of Noah and Teagan. Chloe certainly knows how to write the perfect alpha hero...
Although throughout most of this book I was mad at Noah you couldn't actually blame him because he wasn't aware of what was going on, as soon as he found out he was out for blood. No one can harm or say a thing against Teagan without Noah seeing red. Gotta love a protective alpha male 😊
I was so happy to see the Carter triplets again in this book, I love that all of Chloe's books interlink with each other although it is very confusing to keep up with everything lol....

LAM chicos, LAMMM
malisimo, es peor que los dos anteriores.
si tuviera que definir con una palabra al libro sería DESCONFIANZA, o sea diosss, la inseguridad que se tenían entre ellos es fuerte, o sea, vos lo podías decir a la protagonista que protagonista mato y ella se lo creia, pero ojo, entre ellos se tienen mucha confianza.
no usan el sentido común, el uso de la razón, por dios, es leer el libro y estresarte, con este dejo la saga, la abandono felizmente. lo hace todo muy largo.
obvio es un NO recomendado.

Wow what a BOOK😭 these two are so addictive I can’t stop reading about them and can’t wait to get to the next book I’m so scared for the next one as I feel like a LOT is gonna happen❤️🩹 I love Noah so much and I also love LUCKY!!!! What an underrated character. Teagan is such a bad ass from all the shit she put up with in this book. I also still love the carter family with all my heart😭 this series has a serious chock hold on me❤️❤️❤️❤️
November 29, 2024
Teagan is better than me cuz no man is worth all that bullying she endured.. the way she didn’t even get justice??? The depression she went through for months cuz of it was not acknowledged and she didn’t even get an apology. So we are just supposed to see the main character being treated like shit and not allowed to leave and then not even get justice. Bullshit
December 1, 2025
These two are a bloody train wreck but iv grown to love them and their crazy antics. It’s really hard to give this series more than a 3, I’m enjoying it but it doesn’t give me the excitement like BOT did
February 11, 2021
This doesn’t happen often but...I think I’m in love with the heroine more than the hero. Teagan is one crazy, badass bitch.
August 31, 2023
3.5 I enjoyed this but some parts were a bit too overdramatized for my liking.
