Author: Chloe Walsh
Publisher: Bloom Books
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.
I didn't know what I was getting into when I decided to start this novel. It's over 600 pages! All I'd heard was that Amazon was going to adapt the series, so I needed to read the book before watching it on screen. I bought the audiobook, and even that is split into two parts, LOL.
Shannon Lynch has been abused her whole life. She's been bullied since she was a kid, and things at home with her father haven't been any better. Thankfully, she has a very protective brother, Joey. After the latest bullying incident, her mother takes out a loan and moves her to Tommen College for a fresh start.
On her first day, something happens that brings Shannon and Johnny Kavanagh together.
Johnny is the most popular guy at Tommen. He's the rugby team's star; he's smart, and everyone wants to be in his inner circle. His only goal in life is to play rugby and go pro. He doesn't have time to party or do drugs, and he trains constantly. But he was injured and had surgery, and his recovery isn't going as planned. He won't tell his parents or anyone else the truth, because he's determined to reach his goal. Then he meets Shannon, and everything changes for him, even though he doesn't want it to. He feels protective of her and can't seem to stay away.
It's been a minute since I read a YA this good. I can't tell you how much I love some of these characters.
List of lovable characters:
• Johnny
• Johnny's best friend, Gibsie
• Shannon's brother, Joey
• Johnny's dog, Sookie
• Shannon's little brothers
I was so happy Shannon met Johnny!
