Back to the shameful paranormal romance genre

Rachel Caine's book, Fade Out (Morganville Vampires, Book 7), heralded my visit back to the love-with-a-vampire. I'm actually starting to be a bit irked by the heroine, whom I would like to call Miss Polly Prissy Pants because she is so perfect and so wonderful and so humble, but I'm far too mature to be so petty about a book that clearly is trying to please young female readers.
It actually reminds a little bit of the main character in The Clan of the Cave Bear series, which I did not read. A friend of mine (who was a young female reader) expressed her exasperation that Ayla was too perfect.
