Crossover Chaos (And That One Penguin Who Shows Up Everywhere)
“Why is the football player in the baseball book?”
Because the San Antonio Sports Universe doesn’t do isolation. It does interconnection, emotional payoff, and shared chaos—with cameos.
📚 So What Is a SASU Crossover?
Cameos. Connections. Recurring characters. Events that pop up across multiple series.
Basically, when characters from one team show up in another couple’s book, it’s a SASU crossover—and it happens a lot.
Sometimes it’s just a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment:
A quarterback popping into a fundraiser
A rugby player in the background of a dog grooming video
A familiar WAG helping a new girlfriend plan a baby shower
Other times, it’s full-on emotional sabotage:
Breakups, weddings, and that one scandal resurfacing in someone else’s book
That one proposal you saw teased in Book 2? It lands in Book 6.
A child’s birth being predicted by a suspiciously psychic mascot
🧠 Why the Crossovers Matter
They build depth.
They reward loyal readers.
They create that magical “oh my god, I KNOW them” feeling that hits you right in the chest.
They also make the annual Charity Gauntlet Games absolute pandemonium.
🐧 So Why Is Pete Always There?
Because Penalty Pete knows where the drama is.
He’s not technically tied to any team, but that doesn’t stop him from:
Refereeing rugby scrimmages with zero qualifications
Storming out of hockey games in protest
Livetweeting baseball scandals
Showing up uninvited to football weddings (twice)
Hijacking this entire blog with his own advice column
He is, in his words, “the emotional support penguin for poor life choices.”
And he goes where the mess is.
✨ You can read the books in any order. But reading in release order unlocks the full crossover magic—and lets you spot the Easter eggs, emotional threads, and Penalty Pete cameos like a pro.
