Chloe Walsh Books in Order

Where to Start with Chloe Walsh

For most readers, the best place to begin is with the viral TikTok sensation, the Boys of Tommen series. Set against the backdrop of rugby and teenage angst in West Cork, Ireland, between 1999 and 2007, this series is Walsh's most famous and emotionally resonant work. Start with Binding 13, which introduces the slow-burn romance between rugby star Johnny Kavanagh and the resilient Shannon Lynch.

If you prefer a darker, gritier romantic suspense setting, you can start with the Broken series, which serves as the direct prequel and parent series to the Carter Kids series. Reading Broken first is essential if you want to understand the family dynamics and history before moving on to the next-generation stories in Carter Kids.

1. The Boys of Tommen Series Reading Order

Because the timelines of the characters at Tommen College overlap, and because the books feature a tightly knit recurring cast, reading this series in strict publication order is highly recommended to avoid major spoilers. The current order is:

6. Releasing 10 (2025) – Hughie & Lizzie (Part 1)

Note: Fans are eagerly anticipating future installments in this series, including the expected continuation of Gibsie and Claire's story in Healing 7, alongside other planned titles such as Feeling 12 (Katie & Patrick's story).

What to Know Before You Start

Chloe Walsh writes emotionally intense romance that deals with real-world issues. Many of her books—especially the Boys of Tommen series and the Broken/Carter Kids books—contain heavy themes such as domestic abuse, bullying, addiction, mental health issues, and self-harm. Readers should check content warnings before diving in, particularly for the stories of Joey and Aoife (Saving 6 and Redeeming 6). Her style combines raw, angsty drama with authentic Irish humor, slang, and a strong sense of community.
