Tessa Morrison, a thirty-seven year old widow, is the main character in Nancy Weaver’s latest novel, Gaming For Love. After ten years of being lonely and raising her teen-aged daughter, Tessa decides to get back into the dating game. But she finds that the rules of dating have changed and she is out of her league with the new players. Tessa learns from a friend that in order to find her Mr. Right she has to let her suitors know that the “Vagina Bar is Closed” and she must be patient and wait for her soul mate. A friend invites her to a Christian singles party and Tessa’s luck begins to change. She meets Sterling Cole, who is single, attractive and wealthy. Tessa and Sterling immediately feel the sparks between them but they both wonder whether this is the real thing or just something else.
Gaming for Love was an interesting book to read. Weaver shares feelings of loneliness, heartbreak, guilt and shame as Tessa struggled to find a suitable mate. However, the story, though funny in some parts, took a great amount of time to tell. For this reader it was disappointing that Tessa met Sterling in the last one hundred pages of the book and their romance accelerated to the end. It was also at this point that I had to decide whether this story was considered as a Christian Faith Romance or Romance novel. At any rate, it was an enjoyable book to read.
