Review: Insta-love at its worst
Rating: 2 out of 5

I picked this book up when it was free because it sounded like it might be a fun, if typical, light romance.  It wasn't.Brief synopsis:  Smart, competent, respected pediatric surgeon Holly Bell falls hard and fast for celebrity baseball pitcher, Nate Carter - a player, and not only of the baseball variety.Here's what bothered me most about this book.  I can't stand the insta-love.  For no good reason that I could see, other than the fact that he's hot, the super-intelligent Holly decides after 3 weeks that she's madly in love with Nate and demands (yes, demands) a commitment from him.  Because, even though she knew of his reputation with women when she started dating him, she decides their 3 weeks together are special enough to expect him to suddenly change and declare his undying devotion.  But the thing is, there's really nothing special about Holly.  She's all kinds of blah.  So why would Nate change everything in his life for a whiny woman?  Got me...but he does.  Eventually.  If she had demanded this commitment after 3 months, I wouldn't have had a problem at all.  But 3 weeks?  Sheesh.Add a run-of-the-mill psycho stalker and that's pretty much the whole book.  Not entertaining, not light, not even all that romantic.  Honestly, I forced myself to finish it.  And I did that with a lot of page skipping.Adult language and sexual content.
