Master of the Abyss
by Cherise Sinclair
This one is full of trite sexist crap. EVERYBODY in the book, except for Kallie's cousins, give her shit about her clothing to the point of saying she's not a real girl, or doesn't look like a real girl, or woman, and Jake and his sister in law would force her into "more suitable" clothes like she was a doll. Jake would constantly make comments like "Ah, see you are a real girl now". It annoyed the piss out of me that the author kept forcing this character to meet these 'standards' of femininity.
I couldn't get into the romance either because Jake was so blatantly hot and cold and he defined himself to Kallie as being a lot of things that he never followed up on. Blegh. I think I'm done with this series because there are some things that are formulaic to the point of distraction, for instance the two MCs interactions down to the odd little nicknames. Kallie was Sprite. Becca was Lil Magnolia or Lil Rebel. I forget the other two.
There's also really exaggerated stereotypes that are just utterly ridiculous, like all the characters from Texas saying things like "Git along lil' doggie."
Enough.
