I liked this book well enough to devour it in one day. And while I was entertained and interested enough to devour the book, the love story was far too much for me. I bristle greatly with instaLove kind of stuff. And even though there was a past history, the speed for which the love relationship took off did not work for me. I am not a fan at all of "instaLove-lets get married" style of relationships. Most times, that is based on lust, and idealistic relationship wants. With that said, I did I like the characters and their struggles were real and believable. I just wish, on many levels, that the romance aspect went slower and matured into a love relationship instead of moving at the speed of light.
