Jack is a faceless gamer known as The Joker. He makes a living playing video games and using his gravelly voice to bring people’s sexual fantasies to life.

When the top gaming site on the West Coast sends someone out to interview him, Quinlan walks in with her auburn curls and thick curves, and they’re instantly drawn to each other.

Quinlan has no idea of the monster that lurks beneath the surface of his calm demeanor.
Jack is quicksand, pulling her down into the dark underbelly of his desires.
To get out unscathed, she’ll need to give into the hunger she has always tried to deny.

Dana can do no wrong!!!
Games We Play follows Jack, a well known anonymous gamer who goes by The Joker to his fans. And Quin, a journalist for a gaming magazine who was sent to do an interview with him. What was supposed to just be a quick chat about his successful streaming career quickly turns into a night of all play and no work 🔥I am obsessed with this spicy little novella 😍 First of all, male POV is a god send and this was the gamer boy book boyfriend I had no idea I needed 🙌🏼 I thought Quin’s character was a super relatable (plus sized and mental illness rep!) and I really felt the chemistry between the two. I’m never usually the biggest fan of insta love but with a novella this short, I thought it was well done. I loved the club scenes and I really enjoyed getting a POV from Jack’s friend thrown in the mix. For me, this was the perfect little mix of smut, kink, and cutesy romance. I would have loved a whole book of Quin and Jack to be honest!𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢: 🌶 🌶🌶🌶/5⚠️ Please check trigger warning before you read!

Short, yet packed with everything a romance book should have. No nonsense. Different lens- guys perspective most of the time. Loved it. LOVED. IT.

This was just what I needed! 😍💥 Something different, refreshing and novella length to take me out of my book slump! This is very instalovey, which usually isn’t quite my thing because I need to feel more of a deeper connection to the book characters that I read about, but I was so intrigued by the concept of the H, that I overlooked my usual hangups with IL and pressed on. I’m so glad I did! This is a snapshot in the life of two people who fall for each other in a short time span with lots of heat 🌶 .

This story is about an anonymous gamer, Jack, who hides his identity when streaming and he has this uniquely, distinctive voice and the h, Quinnlann signs an NDA and her job is to interview him for an article she’s working on. After first meeting each other, they have an immediate attraction to one another, and they both agree she will stay with him for one night only.

I think if you enjoyed the erotic novella, The Dare by Harley Laroux, you will enjoy this hot, gamer novella immensely! The only thing I struggled a bit with personally was that I knew H had felt strong feelings for the h, you get his POV the entire book, so I felt how much he cared about her safety, satisfaction and the overall happiness he felt having her by his side, but I didn’t feel it as strongly from h, this could be because there was not really a POV from the h, or it could just be my own interpretation while reading, because of the instalove connection and shorter length of the story. I just felt a bit of a disconnect there, but nothing too crazy that would take me out of the book or anything.

I also like that the author wrote the h as being a bit sassy, bratty, and she’s actually not a stick figure. I do kinda wish there was more of a glimpse into the interview she was assigned for. Maybe like a little snippet or something at the end, but essentially we never find out what happens with the article after it’s all over. I just wanted to know how that aspect all worked out but I realize this wasn’t supposed to be too focused on that part after they fell for each other, the story is more or less about them. But I would totally read a bonus scene, outtake of their interview or article the h wrote about him in the future or extended story if that ever came to fruition. 💗😍

The Hero, Jack aka “Joker”, is just such a goner for her. His inner monologuing is so sweet, filthy, and claimy! I really enjoyed his character. The mysterious, mask-wearing, gamer Hero is definitely a trope I need more of! I’ve been looking for more film fan/gamer Hero romances and this was just really refreshing to read! I just wish it were longer! 🔥 Also, I should note that this is not a dark romance, even though the cover may make you think that, it’s not heavy or dark. There is some kinky elements, but nothing too crazy. I really enjoyed this story, it’s a hot bite to sink your teeth into if you’re in between reads or if you just need something short but steamy to divert your attention in the middle of a reading slump. 4/5 **** I’ll definitely be reading more of this new to me-author! ☺️

5.0 out of 5 stars Good short read
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2021

The appeal with gaming, streaming and deep voices who hide behind masks was all there. It seems to be the heightened kink right now, especially if you’re on social medias like TikTok.
This takes those thirst traps to a new level and brings them to life. It has kink, alphaness, mystery, a little dominating violence, spice scenes and delicious men in a variety of flavors that I’m sure will make for other future books.
Our girl, Quin, is from a rough childhood with parents that found her lacking and dreams she thought she’d never get to have. Finally doing something towards that dream life she wanted, she sets out to interview Joker, an online streamer of games and sexy voices who hides his identity behind a mask.
The chemistry is almost instant, with contrasting, yet culpable personalities. He’s the egotistical (with decent reason, and not overly so), hidden gamer guy who wishes to truly be seen and share himself completely with someone. She is the whistful writer, green-thumb fairy, whose been cast aside by her family who just wants someone to recognize that she isn’t perfect but that’s what makes her the one of a kind that someone should deserve.

My only complaint, is in the title, I get it’s “playing for the night”, but after we get where we’re going, it doesn’t really apply. I’m assuming the next book may be similar….maybe just think about that.

Overall? 5
Spice? 5
Plot? 4 (but doesn’t take away, this was just more for wishing the book was longer and I could enjoy delving into these characters more and maybe having a little bit more conflict to bring them closer)
Triggers? None unless you’re not okay with “degrading language” (whore,slut,etc)
Kink? 3 (what his thoughts say versus what plays out are way different. If you’re going to make a character who is into fetishes and then does none of them, maybe rethink their kinks or what you add in the story)

I’ve only got three letters for you with this story - H.O.T! This story is ultra spicy, on the shorter side, and sets up a great background for future side character’s stories and even more deliciousness! If you’re a millennial or gen z (or not, who am I to judge!) into streaming, gaming or anything in the same style of hobbies, AND you LOVE/NEED some smut in you life then, OH BOY! This book is for you! I devoured this story in easily one afternoon, and immediately jumped into the rest of the series. Quinlan is a badass FMC, and I honestly loved her character description and background. In really smutty, contemporary stories I don’t always jive with the FMC, but I honestly really like Quin and appreciated her POV. Lastly, this story, out of all of them that have been released so far, is still my favorite if you’re going to star anywhere with Dana’s works - I think this is definitely the one. Also! It has a super sweet bonus epilogue that Dana wrote for us and everyone definitely needs to check out! Hands down a 5/5 read for me!

Pra quem gosta de um bom smut esse é o livro perfeito. A escrita é muito boa e os personagens ganham seu coração no 1° capítulo. O livro é todo narrado pelo personagem principal JACK, e eu ame o livro ser todo no ponto de vista dele. Super indico a leitura, e não se preocupem, o BDSM não é detalhado.

I was a bit sceptical about this one when I first started reading it. But by the end of it, I think I myself had to get me off for atleast six times. Yes, it's that hot.
I would definitely like to include, that it's not for everyone. But the people who get it, get it. Especially if you've a kinky ass like me. I don't know what to say more without spilling the whole story here, and giving you all spoilers.
So it's better, you all grab it and see for yourself 😉.
