What can I say, Rachel Van Dyken does it again. I love reading her books. I always feel like I'm reading a romantic comedy. The comedic quality, and sassy, fun loving characters is something i love about her. I always get a little bit of everything when I read her work and this book did not disappoint. I can't wait for the next installment in this series.

Holy Macaroni!!! I have been waiting for this book for months!!! I LOVED the first in this series and I couldn’t wait for Miller to find his HEA. This book did not disappoint, I laughed, I ugly-cried, I made my poor husband hold me while I read some of it...I felt like I was bi-polar reading this.....but in the best possible way....temporarily bi-polar based on a book...is that even a thing? Who knows! It was great though! Thanks again RVD!

Oh my gosh. This book was so good! I laughed. I cried. I swooned. I fell in love with Miller and Jax. What sexy heroes they are.

I was so excited when I recieved an ARC of this book through Netgalley. I had previously read Infraction and could not wait to get my hands on this book. But the excitment kind of stopped there. To me this book was very predictable, and the same things kept happening over and over without anytype of big twist or turn. I didn't feel as much emotion in this book as I did with Infraction. I knew from the very beginning how this book was going to end. I understand some of Jax and Kins relationship, but this book just keep going on and on about how he was over protective. If you like books that doesn't have a huge emotional rollercoaster then you will love this book.

Love this author, book was very entertaining however if you have not read the first book in this series you might get a little lost

Okay, so Quinton and Kinsey had a night of passion in Vegas, but the next day Quinton pushed her away, encouraging her to go to Europe.
Well now she is back, and her douche ex is in the team as well. So, Jax, her brother, has a great idea, why not pretend she is dating Quinton? Of course, Jax doesn’t know what happened in Vegas otherwise he would not be happy with his idea.
OMG this book was full of feels. Kinsey’s dad is sick and he’s not getting better. Quinton also lost his mom and he never really mourned her, so this is bringing back a lot of bad memories. I like the talk that Kinsey’s dad had with Quinton. I loved this book. Can’t wait to read more.

This book broke my heart in a good way but it still broke it.

Things i liked
- The laugh out loud banter between Miller and Kinsey.
- 2 words Chicken and Waffle's.
- I think Rachel Van Dyken handle writing about Cancer and Lupus so well without really having to really explain it if that makes any since.
- Jax is my favorite (when are we getting his and Harley's story?)

Things i didn't like
-Anderson (he's a controlling jerk)

Thank you for a chance to review Infraction. This book started out slow for me. I was kind of on the fence about Kinsey and Miller. It took me a while to warm up to them. Miller was just too in his head for me and Kinsey seemed to be over the top with the I want him/I don't . Eventually once we had the added characters of the ex, and her dad, I began to get invested. Although I think with all the drama about the ex at the beginning really fell short at the end. We get all this info about him and then boom he makes a nasty comment at the end and coach kicks him off the team, it just seemed rushed. I think Ben was really the star of the show. His sense of humor is what made me get through his parts. I was in tears but in the end it turned out to be a fabulous book. I really want to read more of Jax. I'm looking forward for his book. I guess because he is more in my age group. Sometimes I forgot that Miller and Kinsey along with Sanchez and Emerson were in their early 20"s. That may have been part of the reason it took me a little while to "get" them. Thanks Again ~S

I loved this book. I read it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed reading about Miller and Kinsey's relationship through the different stages it went through. This book had some sweet romantic moments but also some very serious and sad moments. I loved the incorporation of all the friends that we met in the first book of the series, and how they are ultimately always there for each other. This book had a couple of surprises also thrown in. Overall, a highly enjoyable read!!!

Wow. Simply wow.
I'm not sure if I would have picked up this book if I had known that I would sob my way through two or three whole chapters but I would have so missed out on something really special. Because this book is special.

Amidst all the sad parts there is always laughter and hope, there's love that helps people to deal with the loss, that helps them to go on and there's the kind of family that is not determined by blood relations but by the way people care for each other and are there when the other one needs them This is also a story about letting go and setting free and it's about learning that even though you set somebody free it might just mean that everything changes - and for the best.

Love, laughter, hope and new beginnings despite the loss and the sad parts, wonderful characters who have found the way to your heart before you even realized that that's where they are heading for and a story that is just right - this book is amazing!

I can't even tell who I loved most because all those characters are unique and wonderful. I loved Em and Sanchez but I also loved Miller and Kinsley and, of course, Jax and....oops, read for yourself! Oh, and don't forget Marco. He is sweet and fun and is such a ray of hope and sunshine that you just have to love him - once you've packed away your hankies.

Full of action and emotions, this book is an amazing story that you won't want to miss.

Full review to be published online in early January, 2018.

INFRACTION is the second book in Rachel Van Dyken’s fun and intriguing “Players Game” series about pro football players. Here we have Miller Quinton (from the first book ‘Fraternize’), and Kinsey, the sister of one of his teammates. He has been asked to pretend to date Kinsey; but no one knows that Miller and cheerleader Kinsey shared a hidden steamy encounter some months back.

INFRACTION is a nice story, suitably romantic and angsty. Most of the key players in the story carry over from the first book, so this is not really recommended as a standalone read. There are too many previously introduced characters. Still, it’s fun.

Rachel Van Dyken never misses a beat! Her books are always fresh, fantastically funny and fun escapes from the real world. Another great hit.

This book was missing something for me. I felt like the actual story of Miller and Kinsey got lost in the story of Jax’s overprotectiveness of Kinsey. I wanted a slower resolution for Kinsey and Miller, but instead we get one that happens pretty early on. The angst level was pretty low.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Kinsey. We kept being told she was strong while being shown she was weak. I’m gathering people are calling her strong because of what she went through with Anderson, but I honestly didn’t see it. There really isn’t conflict or resolution in regards to him. Being that he is Jax’s whole reason for wanting Miller to date Kinsey I think it was a missed opportunity.

Miller was a pretty good H. He seemed like a really great guy who was trying to be better. I don’t really have much to say about him.

I really felt like Jax took away from Kinsey and Miller. I don’t see what the point was of having his perspective. The small story we got of him deserved to be expanded on in his own book.

This book lacked a lot of development. The storyline could have been stretched and have more details. We could have had more of the MCs and their budding relationship, but instead it became about everyone else.

I can’t say I recommend this book, but I’m probably in the minority here.

“God bless football, and God bless the V.”

Y’all know what the “V” is, right????

When we last left our players we were in Vegas where there was a surprise guest in someone’s bed. Deciding the old adage “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” are words to live by, Miller and Kinsey agreed to tell no one and Miller promptly shoved Kinsey on the nearest plane to Europe for the summer. It turns out that absence may indeed make the heart grow fonder and when Miller is requested by his teammate/Kinsey’s overprotective brother to “fake date” her upon her return, things start heating up . . . .

“You’re familiar with the kind of rides I give, and when this whole friendship ting goes to hell and you actually ask me to kiss you – to touch you – you’re going to need to buckle up, sweetheart, because it’s going to be rough.”

I’m going to address the pink elephant in the room real quick because I am nothing but brutally honest at all times. Jax, the brother??? I got less of a “overprotective” vibe and more of a Donald and Ivanka one #eww. And believe me when I say the big reveal didn’t make things better. That being said, Jax and Harley’s story being thrown in was an unexpected treat and it helped reduce my squicky reaction. Miller and Kinsey were just as adorable as Emerson and Sanchez were in Fraternize, the angst (brother lovin’ aside) was real life shit people should be angsty about and when we finally reached the halfway mark and got down to bidness?????


It was guuuuuuuuuud.

I’ve somehow managed to stalk work my way up to an auto-approval for this publisher and for that I say I'M NOT WORTHY I'M NOT WORTHY. If Rachel Van Dyken keeps writing, I’ll keep reading ‘em. I am a superfan.

LOVE RVD!! I really enjoyed this continuation of the Players Game Series. Loved getting to know Miller better after meeting him in Fraternize. Enjoyed learning more about Kinsey and her relationship with Jax. Also loved the Jax/Harley/Harley's Grandmother storyline. Will there be a third book? Will it be Jax and Harley? I hope so! Didn't love getting my heart wrenched out of my body during this book though. My husband couldn't understand what I was so upset about. This book absolutely gutted me. That's what I love about RVD!!
