An epic and unforgettable love story begins in Binding 13, the first in the international bestselling and TikTok-phenomenon The Boys of Tommen series, from Chloe Walsh.

He wants to save her. She wants to hide.

She's damaged. He's determined.

Fate brought them together. Love binds them.

Johnny Kavanagh is the definition of popular. He is an all-star rugby player with loads of friends, which means he should be enjoying the many perks of his life. But what people don't know is that he has been dealing with a painful injury that could halt the magnificent trajectory of his career. This means he has no time for distractions or mistakes. Especially not a girlfriend.

Shannon Lynch has been bullied all her life. She is shy and would rather hide herself away to make it through school. But when she arrives at Tommen College for a fresh start, she meets the notorious Johnny Kavanagh on her first day in a not-so-romantic way. What follows is a complicated friendship that turns into undeniable chemistry. It seems that Shannon won't be able to hold onto the anonymous status she once hoped for. But maybe that's alright?

Johnny won't give up on Shannon. No matter what it might cost them both.

Filled with angst and an attraction like no other, Binding 13 will suck you into the bingeworthy Boys of Tommen universe. This book is perfect for readers looking for:

New adult/YA crossover Irish romance
Dual POVs
Friends-to-lovers
TikTok books
Sports romance

this was actually so much better than I expected, I feared it’d be the teeny fragile girl trope with giant jock. And it is, don’t get me wrong but it works for all the right reasons. I don’t like picking up books that involve teenagers and high school cause I like to keep that in the PAST, but this book is VERY character driven. You relate, you grow to love the characters, in fact, the plot doesn’t even matter to me as some point because I’m just trying to get to know these people. I feel like you get giddy and blush bc you remember being a super awkward high schooler with their first crush. I was HOOKED. The fact that I didn’t realize I was 95% in before a kiss was amazing. I love the build up, the awkwardness, the SLOWEST OF BURNS. I must read the rest of the series.

Such an emotional Rollercoaster. Could not keep the book down. The vulnerability of the FMC and the softness of the MMC is portrayed in such a raw manner. Loved it!
