If you haven’t read Boys of Tommen series, START NOW!! I have put it off for forever and I’m kicking myself for not starting it the moment I had them in my hands!
... Read moreOkay, seriously, if you're like me and you've been putting off starting the Boys of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh, stop it right now! I spent ages seeing it pop up on my feeds, and for some reason, I just kept thinking "I'll get to it eventually." Well, let me tell you, "eventually" should have been "immediately"! I'm currently on *Saving 6*, which is book three, and I'm absolutely kicking myself for lost time. If you need "mais motivos" (more reasons) to dive in, consider this your personal plea from a fellow book lover.
First off, the character development in this series is just *chef's kiss*. Chloe Walsh has this incredible knack for creating characters that feel so real, so flawed, and so utterly relatable. You don't just read about them; you live with them. From the brooding bad boys with hearts of gold to the strong, resilient heroines, every single one of them gets under your skin. I've laughed with them, cried with them (more than once, I'm not ashamed to admit!), and genuinely felt invested in their journeys. It's not just about romance; it's about friendship, loyalty, overcoming past traumas, and finding your place in the world. That depth is what truly sets it apart.
Another massive reason to pick up this series is the emotional rollercoaster. Be prepared to feel everything! The stories are rich with angst, tension, and heartwarming moments that will have you clutching your Kindle (mine has a super cute floral pattern cover, by the way, which makes the emotional moments a little less intense visually, haha!). Walsh doesn't shy away from difficult topics, handling them with sensitivity and realism, which makes the triumphs even more impactful. Each book builds on the last, weaving a complex tapestry of relationships and challenges that keeps you utterly hooked. I found myself staying up way too late, just needing to know what would happen next, especially with the twists and turns in *Saving 6*.
For anyone wondering about the pacing, it's perfect. The narrative flows effortlessly, making it easy to get lost in the world of Tommen. The dialogue is sharp, witty, and authentic, really bringing the characters to life. And the romance? Oh, the romance! It's the slow-burn, angsty kind that builds beautifully, making every stolen glance and heartfelt confession feel earned. If you're a fan of high school/new adult romance with a bit of a gritty edge, sports elements (especially rugby!), and a focus on strong emotional connections, then this series is absolutely for you.
My advice? Don't hesitate. Seriously, download the first book, *Binding 13*, onto your Kindle or grab a physical copy. You won't regret it. I'm so glad I finally picked up *Boys of Tommen*, and now I can't wait to see how the rest of the series unfolds. If you've been on the fence, let this be your sign. Dive in and experience the magic that Chloe Walsh has created – you'll thank yourself later!
