Jake (Dr. Jacob McCoy) and Dana have been friends for years, and lovers in the past. Jake has been in love with Dana for a while, but Dana keeps playing the field and her latest lover is Mason. One night when Jake goes over to check on Dana, he finds her and Mason in the backyard. Dana invites him to play with them and their threesome becomes a Friday night date each week.
Dana ends up pregnant and both Jake and Dana look forward to having this baby. Later, Dana ends up losing the baby, due to circumstances beyond her control. Dana withdraws and tries not to feel anything. Jake is hurt that she is shutting him out as he feels the loss, also. Jake and Dana nearly destroy their relationship in the aftermath.
Playing for Keeps is a good book. It is very emotional and requires keeping tissues handy. You can feel Jake’s turmoil about the ménage and then later about losing the baby. Dana’s emotions weren’t as clear to see. Some of the ménage scenes seemed to lack some heat, but it picked up with Jake and Dana’s reactions to each other. I also appreciated Ms. Walker’s personal blurb after the end explaining how the book evolved.
