Josie and Jack are the best of friends; they’ve known each other all their lives, through school, college, dating, job losses and more. For many years, since Josie claimed she could predict the reactions of women to Jack, they have been playing The Game. They usually go to The Vault, a local bar, to play The Game. They each accumulate points based on the sexual responses and invitations they receive from the opposite sex; for example a hair toss, an offer for a drink or a dance, and an offer to go home with someone. They can also gain points by betting on or predicting someone’s sexual reaction to each other.
It’s been awhile since they played The Game – over a year, but Jack wants to cheer Josie up. It’s been three months since she broke up with her last boyfriend. She is still upset and has not gotten back into the dating scene. But this time when they play The Game, Josie responds in a different way to Jack’s overtures, which are designed to gain the attention of the opposite sex. In fact, Josie’s been feeling differently toward Jack for some time now – years if she’s honest with herself, and this has left her feeling very confused. Why is she having sexual feelings for her best friend? Are her feelings, in reality, on a deeper plane than the sexual?
Jack has always had the most success with The Game – usually winning by default, as he often left the bar with a woman. But this time something is different. Have Jack’s feelings towards Josie changed? What has he been keeping from her for so long now?
Playing The Game is, quite simply, brilliant! Never having read any of Megan Hart's work before I did not know what to expect, but wow! I felt like fanning myself at various points during this rather short story. The author has been very successful in building the sexual tension in this novella, from beginning to climaxing end. I particularly like the dance scene towards the beginning of this story, and when you read it yourself you will definitely see why. The chemistry between the characters is electric; they complement each other beautifully. The storyline works really well, even though so much has been put into rather such a short tale. I applaud Megan Hart, and confess I am eager to read more of her work.
