After finishing Fraternize, my heart was broken for Miller and I couldn’t wait to find out who put it back together! It did not disappoint!

This series is so great in so many ways. They are not just stories of football players falling in love with cheerleaders. They are about real life. They are problems and emotions that we can all relate to. We’ve all lost someone close to us. This was a very emotional book and I ugly cried more times than I’d care to admit out-loud.

Miller and Kinsey’s relationship is everything! It’s full of hot chemistry and powerful feelings. Their love story is a hard one to not believe in and fall head over cleats for. The complexity of their friends and family make the road bumpy but watching them overcome the obstacles was beautiful in every way.

I love the pace of this story. It was hard to put it down straight from the prologue all the way through the epilogue. This book has all of my favorite things wrapped up with a bow -- sports, lust, love, the protective brother, friendship, loss, family, and healing.

You need to read this book. Grab it now! If you haven’t read the first book, Fraternize I highly recommend you read it first. You’ll enjoy it too! I promise!!

P.S. I really love that we got to see Jax find his happy ever after right along with Kinsey and Miller. I hope one day he gets a book of his own. I love him!

Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy from NetGalley and the publisher, to honestly review.

This is the second book in this awesome series and it covers 2 of my favourite genres, sports and best friends sister. This book made me laugh and it made me sob! I love and devoured each and every word.

This book covered a very hard topic and it did it in such a beautiful way with emotion and humour. Having gone through this myself I found this book covered this topic well and brought the feels out that was so raw and emotional and real.

This book wasn't only Kinsey and Millers story but its also Jax and Harley's so you get two awesome couples that you love to cheer for!. I fell in love with Miller in book 1 Fraternize but I knew that Em was better suited for Sanchez so I was very happy to have him finally get his girl and Kinsey was the best match for him. I also loved Jax too, he was always the serious one, the thinker so I really was looking forward to meeting the woman who would knock him on his knees and I couldn't love Harley more!

I am looking forward to seeing what happenes next with this series, I do hope there is more deliciousness with the Bellevue Bucks!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for an honest review from the author and Social Butterfly PR

Reviewed on behalf of The Book Boyfriend Addict (www.bookboyfriendaddict.com). A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

I had beautiful women surrounding me on a daily basis, but for some reason, this one, this off-limits little firecracker—had me.

Quinton Miller may not have gotten the girl he thought he was meant to be with but what he did get was one hot night with Kinsey Romonov, his QB, Jax’s, very off-limits sister. Things may not have ended well for them after that night but when Jax asks Miller to fake date his sister in order to protect her from her horrible ex it may be the opportunity he needs in order to make things right with the woman he couldn’t stop thinking about – even if he is risking the wrath of Jax if he ever finds out what happened that night in Vegas. Jax is only one of the many obstacles standing between them and a happily ever after – ex’s, secrets, and loss all threaten to tear them apart before they even get a real chance at starting.

“Maybe I just want to savor you.”
Tears filled my eyes. “You say things like that, and I may just get attached to you, Quinton Miller.”
“That’s kind of the point, Kinsey Romonov.”

This book picks up right where Fraternize leaves off and while it technically can read as a standalone, I would recommend reading them in order because the first book is where you really get Miller’s backstory and it’ll really help you better understand what’s going on in this book. After reading Fraternize and seeing how that all turned out, I was looking forward to this book because I really liked Miller and felt bad for him with how everything turned out. I liked the idea of him and Kinsey and for the most part, I really enjoyed them together, they definitely had great chemistry. I found myself annoyed sometimes with Kinsey, it was clear she’d always been coddled and I appreciated her wanting to be allowed to live her own life, but then she would do something where she’d practically admit she could never handle life on her own and it basically negated her desire for independence. When she would have one of her rare strong moments, though, I did like her and I was rooting for her and Miller.

If you’ve read Fraternize then you already know how overprotective Jax was when it came to Kinsey, so it was no surprise that he would have such a big role in this book. But it was surprising to see several chapters from his POV, it almost read like a novella within a novel and I wonder if that was just a way to give him a love interest without actually giving him a book. I guess time will tell on that. I will say, I was a little weirded out over the level of Jax’s protectiveness over Kinsey at times and that made me sad because I really liked his character and didn’t want to feel that way. I don’t think it was RVD’s intention to make readers feel that way either, but that’s just how it came off to me. It isn’t until pretty late in the book that we get an explanation that does help some, but I just wish that aspect had been toned down some. I think she could have made the same point without it being so over the top.

I don’t mean to sound negative because really I did enjoy most of this book and there were some delightfully emotional parts that were really unexpected. Plus we got to see Emerson and Sanchez, and if you’ve read the first book, you know how much fun that is! I really do like this group and was glad about how everything turned out, there were just some bumpy parts that I had to get through in order to get there.

With a chuckle, I pressed a kiss against her mouth and whispered, “I never stood a fucking chance, did I?”
“Never.”

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Well, this was a story I was definitely looking forward to Reading. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen between Miller and Kinsey and I wasn’t disappointed.

This books is not just about their story though, we get to see a bit of what’s going on with Jax and realize his life hasn’t been as easy as people think. He shares a secret with Kensey that ties them together and this book uncovers that one and a lot more.

Miller is strong and fearless when it comes to football but he has been abandoned by the two most important people in his life, and now he is scared, so he runs. After their first time together he can’t seem to find another way of fixing things than to send her away and break her heart in the process.

Now that she is back and they get stuck into this weird situation there’s no avoiding her.
Kensey is sure of one thing, she can’t resist him, there’s just something about him that calls to her on a deeper level; and things get complicated once he decides he can’t resist her either.

But she is afraid of letting her brother down, and we can’t understand the relationship till they share their darkest secrets.

The book was full of fun moments; these characters are just amazing and hilarious. We also get to see them vulnerable and hurt by life. The whole thing with the kid in the hospital and the dream just brought me to my knees, I cried on my kindle like a little girl.

A really fun and beautiful story.

I very much enjoyed this book.
Very well written. I was hooked from the beginning.

4.5 Stars for book 2 in the Players Game Series and what a great follow up to Fraternize. This is a great series that has the perfect mix of love and humour and lets be honest Rachel Van Dyken certainly knows how to give us stories and characters to fall in love with. A love story with many hurdles to cross, over protective brothers, teammates plus a few secrets from their pasts, will Miller and Kensey be strong enough, will their love be strong enough to get past it all, will true love win in the end, guess you need to read the book to find that out. Once again another book from RVD that captivated me and had me up half the night reading because I wasn’t going to put this baby down without knowing the ending, looking forward to more in The Players Game Series.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for this book. So when I jumped in, something wasn’t right. I’m not sure what it was but something didn’t click with me. Was there emotion? Yep. Sexy time? Yep again. Conflict? Oh yeah.

To be honest, I’m thinking that the behavior of Jax turned me off. Heck, all of them are adults but we’re acting so juvenile. But I wanted to wring Jax’s throat. I know why he behaved like that but it was driving me crazy.

That being said, I enjoyed the last half of the book way more than the first. New beginnings and sad endings. This is where the emotions came in. This is my happy place.

Read so many books with same plot line that I could not believe this author (whom I adore) went with brother's trusted best friend who falls for friends little sister. Story was well written but I fell asleep at the storyline.

Rachel has once again wrote a phenomenal book. I didn’t want to put it down. At one point I had tears running down my face. Miller is the best and Kinsey is just so innocent. Love them two together. Must read book and series. Now...Bring on Jax.

5 Stars

I laughed, I cried and I laughed some more. This book had ALL the feels and I just couldn’t put it down. As with any Rachel Van Dyken she knows how to reel you in and keep you there till the very end. You don’t know how to feel, cause you’re upset you finished but you couldn’t stop cause you had to know....so as always a must read. Thank you as always Rachel for your amazing stories.

Infraction is the second book in the Players Game series. It follows up Fraternize, but it can be read as a standalone. Infraction is the story of Miller, a tight end for the Bellevue Bucks, and Kinsey, a cheerleader, who is the Quarterback, Jax's, sister. Jax has always tried to protect his younger sister, but in doing so, he has had a tendency to be a little overbearing and overprotective. When Kinsey and Miller hooked up in Vegas seven months ago, they agreed to keep it a secret, knowing that Jax would freak if he knew his close friend hooked up with his younger sister. Kinsey has just returned from a trip to Europe, Jax's idea of protecting her by sending her away, and when she returns, she learns her life is about to be turned upside down. When Jax finds out Kinsey's abusive ex, Anderson, is trying out for the team, he forces Miller and Kinsey into a fake relationship to protect her, all without knowing the very real attraction between the two of them. Miller and Kinsey agree because they know how much stress Jax has been under, but they didn't know the full extent of why. Jax kept it from Kinsey while she was abroad, but now that she's back, he tells her that their father has cancer, and the prognosis isn't good. Kinsey and Miller try to keep things on a friendship level, but how long can that last with their history and the insane chemistry between them? How will Jax handle finding out that the only guy he trusts his sister with is actually the one falling for her? This story is full of hilarious banter and lots of sexual tension and chemistry. It's also full of heartbreak and loss and healing because of the storyline with Kinsey and Jax's dad.

Wow! Just wow! This book was full of such emotion, laughter, and love. My heart broke for Miller in the first book. Now he found his chance with Kinsey and Rachel didn’t disappoint. There were times in the book where I felt for them and parts where I would burst out laughing! I loved every minute of this book and is my favorite of the series so far. I can’t wanit for Jax! Rachel has a style of writing that keeps you entertained and can’t wait for the next page. Great job!! One clicked!

Miller!!! Oh man, I loved Infraction! Miller and Kinsey everything. Thanks for taking me on that emotional ride.

Where do I even start with how phenomenal Infraction is? In Infraction Rachel Van Dyken brings Kinsey and Miller’s tale to light. After a secret night together Miller and Kinsley have spent the summer apart (not by choice). Now that Kinsey is back her brother Jax comes baring some news Kinsey’s ex Anderson is on the team and he wants’ Miller to be her fake boyfriend. Tension is in the air as Miller and Kinsey didn’t part of good terms, pretending to be together is going to be harder then hiding the fact from Jax that they have been hiding their night together. When family secrets arise it’s Miller that Kinsey turns to, will these two be able to see past the blurred lines of real and fake and of friendship and lovers. Wow seriously wow this book is amazing from the story line to the characters. Rachel Van Dyken draws her readers in and keeps them begging for more! The humor, banter and friend ship between the characters is priceless. Infraction is a rollercoaster of emotion, just when I was laughing one minute; Rachel goes and has me sobbing the next. Such a beautiful book; with powerful and lovable characters and a story line that will stay with you for a very long time. A must read for all romance lovers!

This is the second book in the series and is so freaking good! I couldn't put it down and was not expecting it to be so emotional. You get everything in this book humor, sweetness, emotional and sexy. Add the hot football players and Rachel Van Dyken has done it again! I cant recommend this book and series enough. You can't go wrong with anything by this author!!

AFter reading Fraternize I really wanted to read Miller’s story. I wanted him to get a HEA. I couldn’t get into this book at all and it felt like it took me forever to read it. I really liked Miller, he was sweet and charming. I wish he would have found someone other than Kinsey to hook up with. I found her to be immature and she was a total push over. It’s like she had no mind of her own and allowed everyone to make her decisions and walk all over her. Not to mention her over bearing, control freak of a brother Jax. Every scene with him had me wanting to hurl! He was utterly ridiculous hidding their dad’s illness and then telling her to get over it! I think Ms Van Dyken’s writting style is just not my cup of tea.

This is the second book in the series and it does not disappoint. We get so many emotions in just this one book. We get happy, sad, sexy and of course hot football players. This book has an amazing story line and so much more.

Infraction in the second book in the Players Game series, and if you even loved Miller a little bit in the first book you will be absolutely crazy about him in this book. Lucky for me, Miller was my favorite in the last book, so knowing this was his story and chance at a happy ending I was anxious to read it.

Miller is supposed to be keeping an eye on Kinsey for his teammate. What nobody expects is the friendship and feelings that develops between the two. Miller and Kinsey have a connection that will have you swooning, laughing, and maybe even crying. I loved every second of the story between Kinsey and Miller. The fact that Kinsey's overprotective brother Jax is Miller's teammate makes the story just that much more fun.

I can't wait to see what we get next, hopefully Jax will get his own story too.

I have been waiting to see what was going to happen with Kinsey and Miller since the first book ended in Vegas. I liked Miller a lot in Fraternize and was super excited for him to get his own story.

I felt so bad for Kinsey to find out her Dad has cancer and that she was now fake dating Miller. She has an amazing story that I can’t talk about but am so touched by reading. This whole story has moments in it that make you feel.

Miller really hasn’t faced or come to terms yet with his true self. He does that in this book. He’s still his charming self but you see more of him when he’s with his friends this time around.

I just have to say Jax better get his own book! Well done Rachel. I hope we see Jax soon.
