Is this true?

For those who have bravely read "Bullet" - is it true that JC and Asher have finally been allowed to sleep with each other, and that Micah and Nathaniel have suddenly become lovers out of the blue? I came across these rather astonishing claims on the Amazon forums. It seems bizarre that LKH has done a complete 180 on Anita's refusal to allow "her" men to sleep with other people and got characters getting together all of a sudden who never even had interest in each other previously. In one of the earlier books, maybe Harlequin, it was suggested that Asher had interest in Nathaniel, but Micah? I know he does whatever Anita wants, but what?

Tad Williams did a 'Previously' type thing for his Memory, Sorrow and Thorn trilogy and his Otherland quartet, but then his books in hardback are thick enough they could be used to seriously hurt someone.

From what I remember Jean Auel is as bad as LKH for the 'Previously in...' statements too; Shelters of Stone was really irritating because she essentially copy & pasted the summaries of the previous books in the series over and over again. Instead of, y'know, moving the plot much.
