Clay is a night D.J. for a radio station.  His roommate Seth is a sexy, straight cop and Clay’s had a secret crush on him ever since they started rooming together.  When Seth comes up with the idea to get rid of his persistent, possessive, bigoted girlfriend by pretending to be gay, Clay is reluctant to help him.  Clay’s best friend, Anthony, helps convince him to go along with the plan.  When Seth asks Clay to teach him about being gay, things start to get out of hand.  Will Clay get what he’s always wanted, or will he end up with a broken heart? 

The Name of the Game was a wonderful read!  Willa Okati’s heroes are always delicious.  Although Seth could be clueless at times, his journey toward understanding himself was believable and touching.  Clay was so sweet I just wanted to hug him! 

Ms. Okati really knows how to write a story that has it all.  There were parts in The Name of the Game that had me laughing out loud, while other scenes had me tearing up.  Great characters, lots of emotion, and hot, tender love scenes made this a book that I’ll be rereading many times.
