After finishing Saving 6 and giving it 5 stars, I had high expectations for this book and they were all met. This book was an instant 5 star read, and it was an amazing end to Joey and Aoife’s story in their own books. Joey grew so so much as a character, especially when Aofie got pregnant and they became parents🥹🥹 ! Aofie was such a supportive girlfriend, even when Joey was going through the worst times of his life and I ADORE her for that. Joey and Aofie are such an amazing couple and characters, and I cannot wait to read about them in Taming 7!
Quotes:
- “I said no, Aoife." "You can't tell me what to do, Joe," I growled, feeling a combination of drunk and dizzy. "You don't own me." "Well, that's bad fucking luck on my account, because you sure as shit own me!" Drunk or not, his words hit me like a wrecking ball to the chest. Feeling the air whoosh from my lungs, I glared up at him, feeling a torrent of emotions crashing through me. "Why would you say that to me?" "Because it's the truth." "Since when?" "Since I was twelve.”
- “You can have whatever you want from me," he whispered, thrusting deep inside of me. "It's yours." Dropping down on an elbow, he leaned in close and crushed his lips to mine. "Because I'm only doing life for you.”
- “May I be frank?” “Yeah, yeah, be frank.” “Joseph, may I be frank?” “Be whoever the fuck you want, doc. I’m not your keeper,” I mumbled, enjoying the feel of Molloy’s fingers in my hair so much, I leaned in closer and rested my chin on her shoulder. “You be Frank and I’ll be Joey.”
- “Long after his mother was lowered into the ground, and the other Lynch children had dispersed, Joey continued to stand vigil, still trying to protect her, even in death.”
- “Actually, we decided to name our son after the man who raised the both of us,” I confirmed quietly. “Because, let’s face it, the only man I ever had to show me the way was your husband.”
- “We want to keep you!” his wife blurted out, causing John to drop his head in his hands and groan. “All five of you,” she continued, hurrying over to the island and catching ahold of my hand. “Especially you.” She smiled down at me. “I think I want you the most.”
- “Who taught you to pull hair? Shannon?” “Actually, it was your girlfriend,” he countered. “When she was screaming my name.” I narrowed my eyes in warning. “Tadhg.” “Yes, Tadhg, yes!” he mocked.”
- “Aoife: Day eight and I’m going to the hospital. I have that appointment with the midwife. You’re supposed to be there too, you know. Aoife: I’m scared. Aoife: I still love you.”
- “You’re a diamond, Joey Lynch.” Cupping his face between my hands, I leaned in and kissed him tenderly. “You’re one in a million.”
- “I’ve loved your daughter for six years,” Joey finally broke his silence by saying. “I can easily love her for another eighteen.”
- “Adult female in the kitchen doorway.” “And?” “I think we’re too late.” “Paramedic! Now!” “Oh fuck—” Everything inside of my stomach came rushing back up when I watched a fireman place my mother on a gurney. Her face. Her hair. Her burned and blistered hand. Heaving, I watched in horror as they started to cut her clothes. “Mam!” I cried out, feeling my tears dampen my cheeks. “Save her!”
