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.The book is amazing. When I started reading I couldn't put it down I read the book is one day.Rachel is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of her books.Keep up the great work.

Never in a million years would I have thought, I could actually like the second novel in the series. The first one didn't end the way I wanted it and I was really mad. I didn't want to read about what happens next... As long as Emerson didn't end up with the person I wanted her to, I didn't want anything to do with the Players Game world. And then I saw Infraction up for request on NetGalley. And against my better judgement, I was like: "Hey, it's a Rachel van Dyken book. Come on, give it a try." And hell yeah! I liked this one better than Fraternize, the first book in the series.

Compared to Fraternize there are much more serious topics in this book. Not so much for Miller, but for Kinsey. Sometimes, I wasn't sure whether it was too much, but on the other hand, her past situations made her become the strong character she was during the book. And I think that was okay. I even liked her, though I couldn't really place her in the first book. I wasn't sure what to think of her. Her being the love interest? No way. But it worked out. Of course, it did. We're talking about Rachel van Dyken here. She's fabulous at everything - even creating a story about a character I never would have thought to be a main one.

As for Miller... He's just as awesome as in the first book. He might be one of my favorite Rachel van Dyken characters ever. His friends, such as Sanchez, all remind me so much of the characters from van Dyken's Consequences series. They're all so alike. Which, while reading the book, I wasn't so fond of, to be honest. But looking back, I think it's kind of nice to recognize the author's style. So I'm not complaining.

The plot itself could be told in less than a hundred pages. It's the details that made me like the story so much - as well as Jax' point of view (Kinsey's brother), because let's face it - he's just as awesome as Miller. I wouldn't have minded a 400 pages book about him, either. Because sometimes, his point of view, Kinsey's and Miller's were a bit too much. There was so much going on, so many thoughts the reader had to deal with. But in the end, I think it's what made the story so great to me. It was more mature than Fraternize, more family drama, more health drama, more heartbreak drama (though Fraternize really did a number, too). I liked to read about how the different characters thought about their friendship. Of all the novels I've read, I can safely say that Rachel van Dyken knows how to create a team. There's no other word for the characters' bond - they are a team. (And since this series is about football players, I guess that seals it.)

If you like these types of sports romances and a writing style that makes you laugh and then cry in the next second, you should totally read this one. And you'll need plenty of tissues. Don't say I didn't warn you, because Kinsey and Jax... Damn, these two are so strong. I found myself crying for them several times. I'm glad the author decided to tell their stories.

This is a really good read. Miller and Kinsey.
It's difficult to review without giving too much away.
There are a few secrets and some reviews have talked about Jax"s behaviour towards Kinsey but I didn't have a problem with it esp as he meets a love interest himself.
It is written in RVD usually fantastic style. She writes banter really well and there is plenty of that.
Sanchez and Emerson appear quite a bit, the couple from book 1 so we see how their relationship is progressing and also how it impacts on Miller and Kinsey.
It also has done real emotional moments, some are really sweet and others downright sad.
It also deals with a serious issue due to Kinsey's ex.
There is no cheating as such but they are not together through the whole book so..... I will say there is no detailed scenes of either the Miller or Kinsey with anyone else.
A definite HEA.

this book solidified and surpassed the first book I just love Miller and I need another book or novella maybe even about Jax and his girlfriend after this book or maybe about weddings that were mentioned!! Rachel did not disappoint I think reading it back to back enhanced the experience

A solid 3 stars! It was an enjoyable read with alternating points of view between Miller, Kinsey, and Jax. If you read the first book, you will definitely enjoy this one as it picks up right where the epilogue left off. In fact, I definitely recommend reading the 1st book before reading this one. It goes deeper into Miller's backstory and introduces all the characters, whereas that's missing a bit from the 2nd book.

I really liked Miller and Kinsey's story. I thought they had good chemistry and I loved the humor in the book. I was laughing out loud at different parts. I did feel there was a decent amount of build up to get to their struggles (or the angsty parts) and then it kind of fizzled. I can obviously see how Jax is part of the story but I felt he could have benefited from a separate novella rather than alternating in his point of view. Or maybe less of Miller's point of view and more of the siblings, since the book revolves around their family and struggles. I think that's where the book lost me a little bit.

If you were a fan of the first book, you definitely wont be disappointed! It was a quick, fun read!

**ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

Absolutely hilarious! Loved the interactions between Kinsey and Miller. As a favor to Kinsey’s brother Jax, Miller volunteers to date Kinsey. Their chemistry is off the charts as they remember the one night they came together. Miller will do anything to protect Kinsey from her verbally abusive ex boyfriend while slowly losing his heart in the process. A definite must read!

I would like to thank Netgalley and Skyscape for giving me the opportunity to review this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I could not put this book down!! This is the 2nd book in the Players Game series and I am so glad that I was able to read the first book because I think I would have been lost if I were just to pick this one up. Oh man what an emotional rollercoaster. I totally expected more humor in this book but towards the end I was bawling. That is what I love about this author, that she can really make you feel and sympathize for the characters.

In the first book there was a major love triangle that left you having a hard time choosing between the two main men and that love for both sure carried over into this book. I loved the easy going ness and the playful banter between the two main characters. I love that Miller got his second chance in this book and that Kinsey could branch out of the protectiveness of her brother Jax.

Amazing book! Amazing main characters and amazing secondary characters. This book has you laughing one minute and in tears the next. This is another hit for RVD! Honestly, I will read anything she puts out just because she wrote it!

Kinsey is such a saucy little thing, “don’t worry, I won’t steal your cookie, Miller, not even if you force it down my throat.” I groaned. She slapped my ***. And I nearly broke the countertop with my fingers as she skipped off with a backward wave." Kinsey and Jax's dad was something else when giving Miller the third degree, “so, she’s the prettiest thing you’ve ever seen and yet . . . you’ve kept it in your pants?” When Kins is in the mood girl don't care where she's at, "...her red lacy bra was the most distracting thing I’d ever seen in my entire life. “Kins.” My voice came out like a curse. “We’re literally parked in front of your parents’ house.” I loved this book, I loved the humor, the characters were entertaining and each had their own personalities.

RVD delivers another amazingly funny and beautiful,y written romantic comedy with Infraction. This is Book 2 in her Players Game series and I loved every page of it.

Infraction is the story of Kinsey and Miller but..you also get a hit of Jax’s story thrown in too! I loved the multiple points of view in these books as the story is so much more than just the two main characters telling the story.

Even though I would classify this as a romantic comedy there is still a touch of drama thrown in too. I needed a few tissues with parts of this book but RVD ensures there is a bit of comedic relief thrown in to help get you through them.

I really hope we get to read more of Jax’s story eventually!

This is a fantastic second book in the Players Game! I love how Rachel weaves the stories together but also is able to separate them into their own story and voices. This is the story of (Quinton) Miller and Kinsey. We were introduced to them in Fraternize (Book 1 of the Players Game) series and I couldn't wait for their story. The chemistry between the two was white hot and you can see that they were made for each other! The secondary characters were fabulous and the dialogue between all the characters will make you laugh out loud, it will make you cry and it will make you cheer for more from this talented author!

This book is about our beloved Miller Quinton (Football Extraordinaire) and Kinsey, Jax's sister. What I really loved about this book was the side story of Jax! We got to see him find a little happiness - though I'm not going to give away who he finds happiness with. I love the trope of pretend boyfriend/girlfriend because it's one of those storylines that opens up to the real thing. The author made this book even better than the first book. Usually, that isn't the case. So, this was my Instant message while I was reading the book:

"Okay, so you know when a book is so good that you don't stop to even type a message saying that it's so good? Yeah, that's this book!!! Miller and Kinsey have some serious chemistry together, but I can't stand Andy the dickhead lol!! and JAX - Gosh, I love him. Major props for comedy too!!"

Skip down to the middle of the book and it's getting dramatic y'all and I mean that in the best way...OMG, I mean we find out soooo much good stuff about Kinsey and why Jax is so protective. We also find out that Jax and Kinsey's dad is not doing so well, and by this time neither am I - literally I was having a little breakdown. This book had all the feels for me. Here's the rest of the conversation:

"I haven't been able to breathe for an hour!!! Thanks so much Rachel! I'm sitting here snotting all over the place and throwing kleenex by the handful in the trashcan while my dog tries to dig them out and eat the paper...little turd that she is."

Needless to say, this was one of those books that stick with you and you don't want them to ever end. It took me a good two weeks to get out of a book slump and read another book because no other books measure up to this one. I have yet to read another book that really speaks to me like this one did. Again, if you're a fan, superfan, or just new to this author - read this book, but read the first one to get the full effect because if you don't then it just doesn't have the same meaning and you won't understand a lot of what's going on.

This book evoked so many different emotions from me but in the very best of ways. I do not read a lot of new adult/college age romance but I do like Rachel Van Dyken so I will read hers. I enjoyed the first book in this series so I am very glad I read this one too. Miller & Kinsey had me rooting for them all the way. Sometimes funny, sweet, angsty and steamy, this book was packed full of all the good stuff. I love a good fake relationship that turns real. All of the characters were awesome and made the story that more enjoyable. Throw in a wonderfully well written story line that touches on some harder and tough to handle real issues and you've got yourself a winner.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for my honest review.

Rachel has done it again and created an amazing story for Miller and Kinsey, a wonderful follow up to Em's and Sanchez love story. As usual, it put a smile on my face and had me craving for more of Rachel's awesomeness.

Though I do believe Miller needed to do a little more groveling in order for Kinsey to forgive him, the story flew perfectly.

I would have loved more detail about Jax romance with Harley's, the few chapters dedicated to them left me wanting more. It was a nice side story that would have work perfectly as a full novel, especially with Harley's grams. Gotta love Rachel's way to portrait an cool-upbeat grandmother.
Reminds me of Gramma Nadine :)

Kinsey and Miller have a one night stand in Vegas that doesn't end well at all for Kinsey. She gets sent packing to Europe for several months by her brother, Jax, who is the QB and teammate of Miller. Kinsey is beyond hurt that Miller not only let her go, he helped pack her bags.

Flash forward to the start of a new football season, and Kinsey and Miller find themselves having to interact again. Miller knows he screwed up. The death of his mother and not wanting to get emotionally attached to another female lead to some bad decisions on his part. When Jax asks Miller to pretend to date Kinsey so that her ex-boyfriend stays out of the picture, things get complicated quickly. Miller and Kinsey still have sparks. Miller knows he is betraying Jax when he starts seeing Kinsey again but he just can't help himself.

Kinsey is keeping secrets from Miller and has no intention of letting him know the truth any time soon. She has health issues that she feels would send Miller running. Jax is overprotective to the extreme and Kinsey knows he has her best interests at heart but a girl can only take so much micromanaging before she snaps. She knows Miller may bail at any moment and still takes the risk.

We not only see Miller and Kinsey finding their way, but Jax also gets knocked on his rear end when he meets Harley. Things do not go smoothly and Jax makes some big errors in this book. His heart was in the right place most of the time but he was an adult who should have known that you can't control everything in your life. Life has a way of spinning you in directions you never saw coming. I did like how he had suspicions of what Miller and Kinsey were doing but was distracted by Harley enough to let them go. His stepping up for Kinsey and their past was brought to light and it was a surprise. It was commendable what he and his family did for her.

This book did deal with some difficult emotional scenes and is not all sunshine and roses. I did like how the story was woven and the painful process of letting someone go was written in a realistic way. I have enjoyed both books in this series and would recommend them, especially to fans of Rachel VanDyken. I was pleased to have received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

Miller and Kinsey were made for each other. I laughed, cried, sighed and yelled while reading this book. I confess that I didn't read book two first. I didn't get lost at all. Although I have to admit that it could have made this one even better if I had knew all the characters in advance.

I was graciously provided an arc of this book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

After the Bucks won the championship game in Vegas, Kinsey Romonov found her way into Quinton Miller's bed and Miller found his way into her pants. Twice. As the old adage goes, 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'. This especially needs to hold true for Miller, because if his best friend and quarterback, Kinsley's psychotically over protective brother, Jax, finds out he slept with his sister he might very well kill him.
Fast-forward to the beginning of the season, Kinsey's abusive ex is working out with the team and Jax's over-protectiveness is in overdrive. He suggests his best friend, Miller, fake-date his sister, Kinsey, to protect her from her ex.
Miller and Kinsey's connection is undeniable, and when life unexpectedly sucks for the Romonov clan, Kinsey finds herself leaning on Miller, and Miller finds himself not wanting to let go.

I found the characters to be immature and annoying at times, but then I would remember they are 22, so I would forgive them. I really enjoyed their story more than I thought I would, and devoured it in less than 12 hrs.

I am a fan of Rachel Van Dyken. I was excited to start this book, but I didn’t read the first in the series and I struggled with the sentiment and POV behind the characters. I always enjoy Van Dyken’s writing and I ultimately enjoying the writing, this one just wasn’t my favorite. Most likely because I jumped into the story midway.

I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

Kinsey Romonov, head chearleader for the Bellevue Bucks, is a spitfire with an over the top protective brother. She has overcome alot in life and just wants to be able to do her own thing. Her brother Jax has made her off limits to his teammates,but after a steamy night in Vegas that might be a problem.

Quiton Miller, Jax's best friend and teammate, has it bad for Kinsey. Miller considers his friends his family and would do anthing for them.  He doesn't know if he can risk opening up his heart to Kins)ey with his friendship on the line and his heart has already been through so much in the past.

When Jax realizes he has too much on his plate he asks Miller to fake date Kinsey so he has one less thing to worry about. Miller agrees becuase he can't let his friend down and he hasn't been able to stop thinking of Kinsey since Vegas.  "A girl with brown hair, mesmerizing eyes, and the ability to cut a man down without even using her words." Kinsey agrees becuase she can't say no to her brother and can't resist her pull towards Miller. "...the hottest tight end with a tight end made for sin ... I’d seen that tight end up close and personal— they had no idea the type of sinning a girl would do when faced with that— and his perfect lips. I shivered then mentally strangled myself until my mental self lost all consciousness."

Miller and Kinsey both have to work on personal issues, insecurities and honesty in order to find out if they can be more than friends and do more than fake date.

Infraction by Rachel Van Dyken had everything! It was fun, sexy, and more emotional than I expected. I will admit I shed more than a few tears but would read it all over again in a heartbeat.

I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley for an honest review.
This was a quick read for me and that's because it was so good!
I'm going to start by saying I LOVED the H here.
I also liked the h and in this book she was perfectly capable of handling this H, I loved how it all played out.

However, when I compare it to Fraternize, I prefer the first one.

Great series.... and SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT ONE!

When Miller is asked to step in and save his buddies sister from her ex and pretend to be her man he can't help but think it's divine intervention, even though he knows taking anything past the "pretend" stage is completely forbidden. Having an excuse to spend time with Kinsey sounds like heaven... but also could lead to a lot of trouble too!

With Kinsey's life falling apart around her she is in desperate need of a little R&R and something to take her mind off things for a bit... and spending some quality time with Miller sounds like a good place to start. With her ex coming back around and trying to reclaim a place in her world she turns to Miller to help ward him off... and things quickly reignite and get nice and toasty between them!

Infraction is an emotionally rich and steamy little tale that is sure to satisfy every romance readers appetite! This gripping read took a hold of me from the first page and held on nice and tight until the last page was swiped... WOW what a read!! The relationship between these two started off under false pretenses, but quickly started to develop into something a whole lot more... a seriously sexy something more... and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed watching it all play out. Highly recommend this one, it will take you on one hell of a emotional roller coaster... my advice, buckle up and hang on tight, cause your world is about to be rocked!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.
