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:

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

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

This one so far is a DNF for me. I may try to pick it up again later as it has good reviews, but so far the language has been very off putting to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Would have been a 10 but there was a lot of repetition in dialogue and situations that was unnecessary but I cried my eyes out

The young love side in this will really bring you back to highschool. The progression of the relationship is beautifully built and the banter between all the characters is excellent. But really the love aspect pales in comparison to the heartbreaking family dynamic this book dives into. So well written and gut wrenching.

I can't give this book more than 3 stars. I loved the storyline but I am not a slow burn fan and this was SLOOOOWWW. I just feel like there was a lot of fluff. I will, however, read Keeping 13 because I have to know what happens.
