Review: Binding 13

✩✩✩✩✩

 

They are from opposites sides of the track - but when their two worlds collide, nothing will ever be the same again.

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.

Life has never been easy for Shannon Lynch. Bullied and tortured, she arrives at Tommen College mid-way through the school year praying for a fresh start and desperate to shake off the demons that plague her. On her very first day at the prestigious private school, she comes into contact with the notorious Johnny Kavanagh. Thrown through a hoop over her feelings for him, and desperate to keep a low-profile, Shannon finds herself once again the target of bullies as she forms a fragile alliance with rugby's rising star.

Falling into a complicated friendship and grappling with their undeniable chemistry, Johnny and Shannon could never have foreseen the obstacles that will threaten their blossoming relationship . . .

Review: I absolutely loved this book. From the very first pages, it doesn't feel like fiction, it feels like real life. Sad in a lot of places, and very happy in others. It's not an easy book to read, and it may not be for everyone, but both Shannon and Johnny are absolutely amazing characters and once you start reading, you won't be able to put it down.

It does end at a sort of cliffhanger, so if you want to know the rest of Shannon and Johnny's story you need to read book two in this Boys of Tommen series (book three already features a different set of main characters). 

Happy readings!
