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.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Fraternize was a great start to a new sports series by RVD. It’s much lighter in tone compared to the books I’ve read in her Eagle Elite series, and I thought it was somewhat more playful than her Seaside series.

I liked the twist that RVD puts on this second-chance romance. Miller and Emerson were childhood best friends who took a chance at something more as teenagers, but then a misunderstanding left each of them thinking that the other broke their promise of forever. They now cross paths as adults where she’s a cheerleader for the pro football team Miller’s just been transferred to. Add into the mix another hot gridiron star, Sanchez, and there are all the makings of a heated love triangle.

Emerson isn’t your typical skinny blonde cheerleader type — she’s curvy, and she owns it. It’s part of her, she makes no apologies for her curves, but it doesn’t become the focus of her storyline, either, which I can appreciate as a BBW myself. I wish that Sanchez had a few more chapters told from his POV, because this story is just as much his as it is Miller’s and Emerson’s.

I don’t want to spoil the ending — there is a HEA is all that I am willing to say! — but I will say that I can’t wait to see what happens in the next installment in this series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review
