The Family Man (The Mind Hacker, #1)

I started this one a while ago, then put it down at about 20% and took quite a few weeks until I picked it up again. It was not bad, I was just very bussy and not in the mood for this type of book.
I finally managed to finish it, so I will sum up my issues and you may notice a pattern:
*I found the attraction happened too quickly, especially on Jon's side, considering how he is supposed to be "the ice man".
*Tracey's way of finding out hes bi was ridiculous. Sorry, I can't buy it and his reaction was so random. All his talks to Jon about him finding out he is bi so soon after knowing each other and in the middle of a case, felt so weird to me.
*The "Babe", "baby" nick names came way too soon.
So yes, my main issues came from how fast their relationship happened. It felt so out of character for the personalities the MCs were supposed to have, particularly Jon.
Now, the case: it was interesting and I kept reading because I wanted to know who'd done it. But the resolution felt so anticlimatic. You can tell the author did research on proper investigation procedures and the way the FBI actually works. Then explain to me why on earth would Tracey, a very smart and sensitive person, risk his own life and the case they were trying to solve, because he felt like going out to drink/eat something?... dude! And I mentioned the resolution being anticlimatic because, for all they kept going about the profiling, the culprit wasn't discovered by them, but someone else told them his identity.
Overall, I thought I'd like it more than I did.
