SBPRBanner-FRATERNIZE- RB


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


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.

Rachel Van Dyken is a go to author for me so even when she writes a book featuring a love triangle I am right there with grabby hands. I usually try and stay away from love triangles but this is RVD we're talking about so I just couldn't pass on this one, especially after I read an excerpt from the story that about killed me. And now I get to figure out how I'm going to write this review telling you how much I loved it but without spoiling anything.

I was day dreaming about this book all day at work after having to put it down, which was extremely hard by the way. All of these characters just captivated me right away and I was on the edge of my seat ready to pull my hair out in frustration when I couldn't decide who I liked more. That was the brilliant thing about this book, there was no bad guy in the situation. Just three people that were in a complicated situation and trying to handle it the best way possible. 

There was a decent amount of angst but there wasn't really a lot of drama involved which I really liked. I became fully invested into this story and the characters and the feelings I had while I was reading were perfect. I love when a story gets me so involved that I'm sad with the characters, happy with them, and rooting for them to get their HEA. 

And these men! I wasn't lying when I said I couldn't figure out who I liked more. I wanted them both for myself and I'm a little mad that they don't exist out here in the real world. The one, I'll call him Hero X, was so open and fun. I loved how he was with Emerson and he seemed to always calm her insecurities when they started getting out of hand. Her other love interest, he'll be Hero Y, was just as amazing and I was equally rooting for him to get the girl. He and Emerson had such a close relationship and they learned to fully trust the other, which was brilliant. 

Another thing that I found absolutely amazing about this book was Emerson. I love how she owned her curves and didn't change her life to meet others expectations. There were of course times that she was insecure but for the most part she was this badass that let herself enjoy life the way she wanted to whether that was with a salad or a double cheeseburger. I really admired her for it and it made me want to give her a big hug. 

After all of this rambling I'm sure you've come to the conclusion that I would definitely recommend this book. Seriously, you don't want to miss out on this one. And it would be a great introduction to RVD's writing if you've never read her before.
