Summary: Let the game begin
Review: There is no place like home during Christmas, which is why Brinae, and her husband Jon, want to go home for the holidays. After a phone call to her estranged sister, Joske, there are some possible qualms about the arrangement. Since marrying Jon, Brinae has felt threatened by her sister. Joske, however, has tried everything in her power to understand and love Brinae as well as keep the peace between the two of them. This visit will provide Joske with a dilemma that will surely test her Christian faith. It would be much simpler if Brinae could believe in forgiveness and move on like Joske has. At an office Christmas party, Joske briefly meets the handsome Paul Mason but the moment is preserved in her memory forever. For Paul, Joske is the first woman who's garnered his attention in some time, but the appearance of a wedding ring means she's off limits to him. Unbeknowest to Paul at the time, Joske has been recently widowed. Being employed by the same company, Paul leaves the party in hopes that his path will cross Joske's again. Fate and friends conspire to get the two together. With the imminent arrival of Brinae and Jon, the idea is borne for Joske to pretend she has a man in her life. If Joske appeared unavailable and happy with a new love interest, then Brinae wouldn't feel the need to be insecure around her. So Joske and Paul contrive a way to appear the happy couple to Brinae and Jon. The only problem is feelings. What will happen after the game is over? In THE BOYFRIEND GAME, newcomer Dionne Speight gives us an delightful love story about two people overcoming personal adversity, having a little fun and finding love in the process. This was a very sweet story that seemed to take place just a few days before Christmas. Ms. Speight captured the essence of the holiday season and left me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. I look forward to reading more from this author. Reviewed by Brenda M. Lisbon
