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.
I must say I love the fact that Emerson is not a size 0. I also love that Miller is biracial. It’s very nice to see so much diversity in a book nowadays so I applaud the author tremendously. So on to my feelings about the book itself. I enjoyed the book and the trope that was set up. Sadly, the guy that I wanted didn’t get picked and I was upset. I felt that Emerson had way more chemistry with this guy and I felt their connection. You could feel the tension between them and I loved every minute of it!  With the other guy he had a good heart but I just wasn’t feeling their connection. Overall, I did enjoy the story, I do love a good sports romance. The introduction to the secondary characters was well done and I’m looking forward to reading about them next.

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.”
