Have you read his "Partials" books?
No, but I might if I restart my account at audible. Depends on if I get all my backlogged credits back (when my account was frozen I still had like 6 credits on the account - I paid for them, I better get 'em back!!!).

I couldn't get past the "All he wanted was a girl he wouldn't hurt with his giant dong" and her being, like you say, the one human who first discovers using flint to make fire (or pyrite in the books, I think), being the one to domesticate horses, single-handedly nursing Mr. Studly McGiant-Dick back to health while living all alone with her domesticated horses and her tame saber-tooth tiger... bullshit.
The devolving into shitty romance novels was really what pushed it over the edge for me. I hate that crap. I like books where people are being hunted by serial killers or solving mysteries or getting kidnapped or saving the world.
