barely holding together. The last thing she expects is to be noticed by Johnny Kavanagh, the school's golden boy and a rugby prodigy destined for stardom.\n\nBut Johnny sees the girl with the midnight-blue eyes, and slowly, patiently, he begins to earn her trust. As Shannon learns what safety and gentleness can feel like, and Johnny faces the pressures and injuries threatening his future, the two build something fragile and real against the odds.\n\nThe first book in Chloe Walsh's beloved Boys of Tommen series is an emotional, slow-burn Irish romance about trauma, tenderness, and found family. Content note: it deals frankly with domestic abuse.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kmdk7vp0knpvnn3qwe1gzdk8.jpg","LB9RCoL4n4eFZLnNR$xtDNqtXoTJ",2018,"3.33",3,[520],{"id":521,"slug":522,"name":523},"01kjswmjanh0a8q59krbkj5g1c","chloe-walsh-vrp8","Chloe Walsh",[525,526,527,528,532,536,537],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119,"is_fiction":21},{"id":121,"name":122,"slug":123,"is_fiction":21},{"id":529,"name":530,"slug":531,"is_fiction":21},17,"Children's Books","childrens",{"id":533,"name":534,"slug":535,"is_fiction":21},206,"Sports Romance","sports-romance",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":213,"name":214,"slug":215,"is_fiction":21},[539],{"id":540,"slug":541,"name":542,"position":73,"is_main_entry":21,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kmdk7vpv79krm5sjmhf9w427","boys-of-tommen-xxhs","The Boys of Tommen",{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":544,"themes":545,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[89,304,279],[],{"id":547,"slug":548,"title":549,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":550,"cover_blurhash":551,"first_publish_year":552,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":340,"authors":553,"genres":558,"series":561,"enrichment":562},"01kx29zztjxy9prqcjxtsjd7ny","win-lose-kill-die-ecdd","Win Lose Kill Die","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx29zzv3tyr3w4txpx065b7r.jpg?v=25fd9e4293","L38E9_lo00J8#8xbK1nN00hy^+XS",2023,[554],{"id":555,"slug":556,"name":557},"01kwxnkgftmm368cyzjfgyh8ba","cynthia-murphy-lsdq","Cynthia Murphy",[559,560],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":165,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":563,"themes":564,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[167,88,304],[],{"id":566,"slug":567,"title":568,"description":569,"primary_cover_url":570,"cover_blurhash":571,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":7,"authors":572,"genres":577,"series":585,"enrichment":590},"01kjv3qnssxmzfd4gqp817tt2y","praise-dvtu","Praise","After a painful breakup, a young woman seeks validation and finds herself drawn to her new boss, Emerson Grant.

She throws herself into her work from dusk to dawn, until her solitary routine is disrupted by the appearance of a mysterious child who shows up at her cabin barefoot and covered in bruises. The girl calls herself Ursa, and she claims to have been sent from the stars to witness five miracles. With concerns about the child’s home situation, Jo reluctantly agrees to let her stay—just until she learns more about Ursa’s past. Jo enlists the help of her reclusive neighbor, Gabriel Nash, to solve the mystery of the charming child. But the more time they spend together, the more questions they have. How does a young girl not only read but understand Shakespeare? Why do good things keep happening in her presence? And why aren’t Jo and Gabe checking the missing children’s website anymore? Though the three have formed an incredible bond, they know difficult choices must be made. As the summer nears an end and Ursa gets closer to her fifth miracle, her dangerous past closes in. When it finally catches up to them, all of their painful secrets will be forced into the open, and their fates will be left to the stars.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx28jm8qkqgfd1tw9b6h5bbv.jpg?v=223bd8d674","L85$iLj;D4jcx|elWrbxL#aJyZkW",327,[603],{"id":604,"slug":605,"name":606},"01kx28jm8kfjkb60c0dm1wb7yb","glendy-vanderah-in3o","Glendy Vanderah",[608,609],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":610,"name":611,"slug":612,"is_fiction":21},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":615,"themes":617,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[616,304,90],"mysterious",[],{"id":619,"slug":620,"title":621,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":622,"cover_blurhash":623,"first_publish_year":469,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":624,"authors":625,"genres":630,"series":636,"enrichment":637},"01kwzr3e0v5ay9sfsbxrkqjhwk","the-newcomer-ma0u","The Newcomer","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzr3e1em5bqj0nagaf7xxxe.jpg?v=e30a1cd52d","LFQ0%H%MPSxu$ci_aMofqEbuv%ax",448,[626],{"id":627,"slug":628,"name":629},"01kwzr3e18r144zsqd1k2mx4wx","mary-kay-andrews-3ycc","Mary Kay Andrews",[631,632],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":633,"name":634,"slug":635,"is_fiction":21},144,"Women's Fiction","womens-fiction",[],{"pace":85,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":638,"themes":639,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[304,90],[],{"key":641,"params":642,"works":643},"genre_mood",{"genre":37,"mood":88},[644,656,682,708,739,760],{"id":142,"slug":143,"title":144,"description":145,"primary_cover_url":146,"cover_blurhash":147,"first_publish_year":148,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":18,"page_count":149,"authors":645,"genres":647,"series":652,"enrichment":653},[646],{"id":152,"slug":153,"name":154},[648,649,650,651],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":21},{"id":158,"name":159,"slug":160,"is_fiction":21},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":21},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":21},[],{"pace":165,"complexity":7,"audience":86,"mood":654,"themes":655,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[167,88,168],[139,170],{"id":657,"slug":658,"title":659,"description":660,"primary_cover_url":661,"cover_blurhash":662,"first_publish_year":108,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":15,"page_count":663,"authors":664,"genres":669,"series":677,"enrichment":678},"01kx2v2ch182y4kez70ck549zh","the-enchanted-greenhouse-piwk","The Enchanted Greenhouse","Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the North Reading Room of the Great Library of Alyssium. This should have been the end of her story . . . Yet one day, Terlu wakes in the cold of winter on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. She’s starving and freezing, and the only other human on the island is a grumpy gardener. To her surprise, he offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes, and freshly baked honey cakes—at least until she’s ready to sail home. But Terlu can’t return home and doesn’t want to—the greenhouses are a dream come true, each more wondrous than the next. When she learns that the magic that sustains them is failing—causing the death of everything within them—Terlu knows she must help. Even if that means breaking the law again.

Years later a twist of fate brought them again as neighbours in a small town of Texas— he’s a high school football coach and she’s an English teacher. From hatred to a love-hate friendship that later turns into a fake dating scene. Nova craves for a possibility hoping for a chance, but can love really break the stoned laid fortress in Ronan’s heart and let him move on?\n\nThis was truly an unputdownable to me. I love Nova’s chracter so much— she was smart and fun, her maturity was admirable and even though Ronan’s character was full with emotional struggles yet his backstory was riveting much for me. Love the dual perspectives; a perfect plot structure for a love story as I can delve into both personal thoughts, characterization and dynamics. Their conflicts were enthralling and I like those references on Stars Wars (Ronan was a huge fan!) also the fact that Ronan owns a bookshop— I wish scenes at the bookshop could be more though. \n\nGripping plot development despite few intimate scenes felt quite draggy and unnecessary to me. Likeable secondary characters especially Sonia and Skeeter; they were hilarious also Sabine was so adorable; love her sudden thrown of random facts, and I think adding Melinda as the mean girl was engaging much for that pinch of a high school type drama. \n\nOn adulthood, family and friendship, of grief, trust and how it explores the relationship challenges: of commitment, hesitation and afraid of failure. Love the improbability of a happy ending to their love story, a both emotionally driven and humorous written prose and also, I think the author did great in articulating the interactions and dialogues between the characters; such an appealing storytelling and execution. Hopefully the author could do a sequel for the missing fragments in between the last chapter and the epilogue, I would love to read that! 4 stars to this! \n\nThank you Times Reads for sending me a copy to review! \n\nps: I would definitively go for the 2nd book next!","none","rv-01kr829ebzhdqnat58wj40mr06",[],"2026-05-10T04:28:22.000000Z"]
