I came into this book wary, not because of the author. I love T.M but because of reviews. One review stated that this was slow burn, and I'm an inpatient reader but I also steer clear of insta love, unless i'm reading smut, then that's acceptable. I didn't really see this as a slow burn, It was about right. Another review stated the Nolan was unbelievable. I also didn't agree with that, I mean from jump you can see what type of man he is, from his inner dialogue. We catch glimpses. I didn't read Bears story, and I still loved the book. I think I had more a problem with Rage then I did Nolan. Regaurdless, Very good book, read the book and find out for yourself.
