Binding 13: Part Two

Boys of Tommen, Book 1

De: Chloe Walsh

Narrado por: Jacqueline Milne, Matthew Forsythe

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 second 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.

Good story but needs epilogue or book 3

Loved this book, but I feel like it needs an epilogue or book 3… just abruptly ended!!! ????..

What a cliffhanger

Wow. All I can say is wow. I have been listening to this book over the last few days whenever I could squeeze it in. Hooks you in and takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions! So good!

I’m Exhausted

Where the fuck is the Irish police? Is this town so small that they don’t have police because wtf! I’m exhausted for Shannon and her brothers. Her parents better be locked up or nonexistent in the next book. I can’t deal. I get so upset reading about the constant violence, it’s sick. Also, the fact that this neighbor can report seeing Shannon getting dropped off by a boy but doesn’t hear the bloodcurdling screams is mind boggling.

(Takes a deep deep breath) The story is very realistic and depicts images of what some people experience in real life. I hope there’s a hotline number in the book for those experiencing any form of abuse.

Love

I could not put this down can not wait to finish the series downloading the second one now

Jaw dropped.

Just… wow. The second part was so many emotions and events coming to a head. Jaw dropped.

I wanted to love this one

Like Part One, this one also dragged for me. The story was still interesting, but it felt like it took forever to get to the good stuff. The characters had some growth, but it wasn’t enough to keep me fully invested. The romance was still building, but it just felt like it was moving at a really slow pace, which made it hard to stay hooked. The narrator did a great job, but even that couldn’t pick up the slack when the story seemed to stall at times. It’s definitely not a bad book, but I’m just not as excited to continue as I thought I’d be.

Binding 13

Look. I knew this was a booktok favorite, but I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I also didn’t know that not only would I go to the bookstore for Keeping 13 the moment I finished this one (I read along with the audio), but also end up buying the whole series before the week was up. Shannon, Joey and the Lynch kids are going through hell, and the ending of the book? I couldn’t leave it at that. I needed to know what happened. I needed more of Johnny and Shannon. I needed more of Johnny and Gibsie. I can tell these books are going to rip my heart to shreds and hopefully put it back together again. As much as I love any time Johnny and Shannon are on the page together, I must admit that Johnny and Gibsie’s interactions might be my favorite part

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 😭

Wow! That ending!

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!

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… 😂
