Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, 1)

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:

This book and all the rest are a workshop in overcoming childhood trauma. This book and its partner are most importantly a clear picture of what it means to love unconditionally and how best to choose love over all external forces.

This book showed me that I don’t have the patience for long audio books like this one. It was too long for me to appreciate. I had to skip around just because it was so long.

I really like this book. Had comedy at times, but still could break your heart at others. The relationship between Shannon and Johnny was very well done. I did feel that the middle of the book dragged a little bit, but the ending was so good. I would recommend for anyone that likes found family and broken home tropes
