Binding 13: Part Two

Boys of Tommen, Book 1

By: Chloe Walsh

Narrated by: Matthew Forsythe, Jacqueline Milne

His first, last, and only true love has always been rugby. Until now. She's damaged. He's determined. Fate brought them together. Love binds them. Johnny Kavanagh has everything going for him. On the rugby pitch, he's a force to be reckoned with. Primed for stardom, he's heading straight for the top. Nothing can possibly get in his way, right? Not even the shy new girl at Tommen College. The one with the sad eyes and hidden bruises. The one that distracts him like no one ever has. Plagued with a hidden injury and desperate to impress the scouts watching his every move, Johnny has been placed on a pedestal so high, he has no room to make mistakes. Johnny needs to keep his head in the game. He needs to stay focused and cannot afford to let distractions get in the way of the big picture. But what happens when a lonely girl with sad eyes becomes the only picture? Two teenagers from opposite sides of the tracks collide in the first audio instalment of Binding 13. Based in Ireland, the Boys Of Tommen series is bound to captivate and lure you into the world of rugby, love, and teenage heartbreak.©2014 Chloe Walsh (P)2019 W. F. Howes Ltd

Wow! My friend was not lying when she said I had to read these books. I don’t even know where to begin. First off, I love Johnny and Shannon! I love how protective Johnny is over Shannon! It broke my heart to hear how Shannon’s home life was! I love Shannon’s brother Joey! Gibsie is the best, best friend to Johnny! I love how supportive he is to him and I love the humor he added to this book! I love the nickname he gave to “little Shannon”. This book was great and I can’t wait to read the next one!

So worth the hype!!!

This was so well written and the narrations were so good, I giggled,kicked my feet, laughed my ass off and sobbed my eyes out. I haven’t had this much of an emotional connection to characters before and now I understand why people love these books so much 😭

Irish accent

Okay so this is the 2nd time I’ve picked up this book… the 1st time the audio just wasn’t working for me and it was hard to get past the Irish accent. I dnf’ed it the 1st time 6 months ago around chapter 6. Keeping that in mind I knew it was a slow burn. It takes some getting used to get through this book. I means it’s 600+pages and when you’re in a slow burn it takes a while to be able to really get into the book. I’m happy I stuck with it this time. It finally started to get better/pick up the pace around chapter 19 and by chapter 40 I was hooked. I was so upset with the ending and how it just leaves on a huge cliffhanger. Like how does an author do that to me… 😂

4.5 ⭐️ for me

Shannon, by the River. I was completely hooked. Topically I’m not a big fan of a teenager love stories but this one has such a deep meaning behind it and it is so beautiful beautifully written.
This book pulled every heart string I had. It was beautiful, sad, relatable and everything else. It’s not written in a childish or cringey way, it was written in a way that readers can closely relate to and say is accurately depicted.

CRYING , SOBBING

I was a little uncertain about the narrating at first, but then I soon fell in love with the narrating style as this book takes place in Ireland. The Irish accents were spot on. This book, I don’t know what Chloe Walsh puts in it, but it’s crack I love it so much.
time to binge keeping 13!!
