Stay with Me by Jennifer L Armentrout, J Lynn

Rating: WARTY!

Well the title sucks. That alone screams ditch this one. "At 21, Calla has never been kissed or seen the ocean." Yeah, right. "When she returns to her hometown searching for her estranged mother, local bartender Jackson is determined to help Calla — and to check off a few boxes" You bet your ass he can't wait to check out her box. Geeze what an godawful plot this is. Because as everyone knows, a woman is useless except as a prize and Jacksoff is desperate to "claim her" as his. Barf. Anyone who writes this trash should be ashamed, and a female who writes it, particularly so. But look at it this way: it took only two people to write all that novel! Wow! I wonder if either of them know that Calla comes from a Greek word meaning the wattle of a cock?
