VanDyken-Infraction-23433-CV-FT-v5

Infraction by Rachel Van Dyken 
Release Date: January 9th 
Genre: Contemporary Romance


New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken proves that everyone scores to win. But off the field, a fumble can change the entire game.

Pro footballer Miller Quinton would do anything for his best friend and teammate—including “fake dating” his friend’s sister. What no one knows is that seven months ago in Vegas, Miller and Kinsey did a whole lot more than just kiss. Miller knows that this cheerleader is off-limits to him and any guy on the team. Still, he can’t stop himself.

Kinsey’s whole world is on the verge of crumbling. Her dad has cancer. Her overprotective brother is falling apart. Dating Miller may be a fake-out, but he’s the one guy who can make her forget about everything—including all the reasons she stayed away from football players. With each heated moment, Miller feels more like a safe place…even though he’s not safe at all.

Now temptation is testing every rule in the game of love. But how long can they go on playing when winning is a harder goal than either of them imagined?


Review
5 Stars


Good gosh! What more can you say about one of your favorite authors that book after book blows you away?! Rachel Van Dyken is exceptionally talented and creates characters and stories that always leaves me completely in awe. This book adds to the list of phenomenal stories I've read by this author. 

I fell head over heels for Miller in Fraternize book one in the Players Game series. He's this big strong football player who has the biggest heart and is down right scrumptious. I needed Miller to have his HEA and his journey just felt so right. He still had issues to work through and a broken heart and Kinsey was absolutely perfect for him. 

This book just gave me ALL the FEELS! I laughed, cried, swooned and swooned some more. I love how this author captures the emotions and delivers it page after page. Miller and Kinsey's journey was heartbreaking at times because of the situations they had to deal with but heartwarming to see the way their relationship progress. 

As always with an RVD read the banter was hilarious and had me laughing out loud. I loved that we got to see some of Kinsey's brother, Jax, POV. He's a very crucial part of their journey and I loved how the author added him in. He's the over protective brother and the best friend and I loved that we got to see and feel his reasoning and love for his sister. 

I enjoyed this story immensely. I love this author's writing and she delivers an amazing story with lots of laughs and sexy times.

Excerpt:


“I didn’t say I wanted a one-night stand.”
“Wow, changing your spots?”
I gripped her hand; she tried to jerk it away. “What if I want two? Maybe three? What if I want four?”
“Then I’d say you’re greedy.”
“When it comes to you?” I growled, pulling her to her feet. “Yes.”
Everyone was dancing around us but it felt like we were alone. Jax had since walked to the other side of the room. I backed Kinsey up against one of the walls, a potted plant guarded us, but not by much.
“I’ll just keep asking.”
“I’m not ready to move back in with my brother,” she huffed. “And if we complicate things, and it goes bad, which it will, what happens then?”
“So take a risk.”
“You’re asking me to trust you?”
“No.” I shook my head bitterly. “In every area of your life, your safety, your happiness, your health—you can trust me. Just don’t give me your heart, not when I’m not even sure I still have mine.”
She snorted. “So it’s going to be about just sex.”
“Distraction from your dad, distraction from Jax, let’s call it a mutual distraction between really good friends . . . the best of friends.” I kissed her temple then snaked my hand around her rib cage, lightly tickling her skin with my fingers as I raised her shirt, my knuckles grazing her belly button as I went higher and higher until I cupped her breast. She sucked in a breath, and I moved my hand back down her stomach until I came into contact with the front of her jeans.
“What are you doing?” she hissed.
“Nothing,” I whispered against her ear, kissing the hollow of her neck while my hand cupped her and then lifted her hips onto my leg, bracing it against the wall. I moved just enough for her to buck against my leg, and press her hands on my chest. “Nothing at all. You get to decide what happens.”
She huffed out a curse and pressed down on my leg again. “You’re a very bad friend.”
“I’m the best damn friend in this room.” I kept peppering light kisses against her mouth. “Come on, Waffle, time for the syrup.”
“Bad.” She rode me slow, she rode my leg hard, I imagined pulsing inside her, the walls of her body squeezing me into a slow painful death. “This is . . . so inappropriate.”
“You drive a man to want a hell of a lot of inappropriate, Kins. You’ve been driving me fucking crazy for two weeks. And since it’s all about your terms, I’m giving you the keys—you know you like to drive—so give yourself a ride, sweetheart . . . take it.”
I gripped her hips and guided her just enough so she could get a rhythm, then slowly scooted us into the shadow behind the plant and the chair to my right. We were hidden, but not enough that we couldn’t get caught.
“I need . . .” She let out a little moan and punched me in the chest, and then gave her head a shake and started mauling me with her mouth.
I grabbed her hips, slamming her tight little body against mine, and she climbed all over me, her body meeting my thrusts like we were two horny teenagers skipping class.
It felt so good, I was seconds away from getting her naked against the wall. She slowed her movements, arching against my leg, then pressed her palm to my dick; the touch set me off so hard that I drew blood against my bottom lip.

Blog Tour: Excerpt + Review - FRATERNIZE by Rachel Van Dyken

SBPRBanner-FRATERNIZE-BT

Fraternize, an all-new sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller Rachel Van Dyken is available NOW!!






Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken 
Release Date: September 12th
Genre: Contemporary Romance


New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken kicks off a brand-new series in which romance is a game and love is a touchdown.

Emerson just made her dream come true as a professional cheerleader for her favorite pro football team. But even though the plus-size athlete is breaking down boundaries, she still has to contend with the massive rulebook. Carbs? Nope. Chocolate? Definitely not. Still, Emerson loves her curves, and she’ll rock the hell out of this job even if it kills her. Except for one mandate that is easier read than done…

No fraternizing with the players.

Problem one is Miller Quinton: Emerson’s first love, first sex, and the guy who still ignites her daydreams and R-rated fantasies. Thrown back together, Miller and Emerson feel the undeniable pull of passion again, even if the conflict that tore them apart seems insurmountable. Then there’s way-too-sexy Grant Sanchez. He has a serious reputation with the ladies, and when it comes to winning someone he wants, he doesn’t let anyone stand in his way.

Now Emerson is breaking every rule in the manual. But what she doesn’t know is that she’s part of a wicked little game—one that could steal both her dream and her heart.


Review:

5 Stars

As always Rachel Van Dyken takes you to this whole new level of awe with her amazing talent. There are so many underlying messages you can take away from this story. Gosh…I’m so in love with these characters!!

Rachel delivers another all-consuming read that will have your emotions all over the place. This story is blended with the perfect dosage of heartache, sadness, happiness, joy, humor, love and tons of swoon worthy moments. I mean we have not one but TWO sexy AF football players right? How could it not be?!  I’m still having a hard time picking between Grant and Miller. *sigh* I think I’ll just keep them both :)

The characters and character development in this story had me reeling but in a good way. Emerson’s determination and strength despite her insecurities was so beautifully written. Again, Grant and Miller, I don’t think I can choose. Grant’s cocky and playful attitude was endearing and annoying at times but I still loved him. He was just so supportive and caring towards Emerson. And mad respect for both men with the way the situation played out. I’m so glad Rachel delivered the story how it is with men who showed respect and actually took the Emerson’s feelings into consideration. It was just so well played. My heart hurt, yes, because poor Miller and Emerson battle with their feelings because they lost a solid friendship.

Overall, this is just an amazing read. One of friendship, love, healing and moving on. A phenomenal story that I will no doubt revisit. I am most definitely already anticipating the next book.

Excerpt:


“The best.” His lips grazed my ear. “Curves, know this,” His breath was hot on my neck, “If you need to cry, I’ll hold you until you’re done. Sometimes the only way to get over things, is to walk through them, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it on your own.”

My breath hitched in my chest. “Does that mean you’re going to walk with me?”

“That’s all I’ve wanted since meeting you.” He pulled back and gripped my hand. “You know, other than sex.”

I laughed, “You’re ridiculous, you know that right?”

“But, I did just make you laugh, when minutes ago you were crying. I hate those tears, Curves. Never want to be the cause of them, ever.”

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”

“I’m not.” He said it so sternly that I sucked in a breath. “I think I need to use that hand now…maybe on your chest, possibly that shirt.”
