If you like werewolves, a must read IMO is Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series that starts with Kitty and the Midnight Hour.
You can also find werewolves in Yasmine Galenorn's Sisters of the Moon/Otherworld series that starts with Witchling and Carole Nelson Douglas's Delilah Street series that starts with Dancing With Werewolves.
As others have said, Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series has werewolves throughout, but they are the main characters primarily in Bitten, Stolen, and Frostbitten.

If you want a great werewolf series, check out Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series. The main character and most of the supporting are werewolves.
Also, Yasmine Galenorn's Sisters of the Moon/Otherworld series has a werecat as one of the main characters. It's about three sisters who are half elf and half something else, the other two are a half-witch and a half-vampire, and they alternate narrating the books. The ones with the werecat narrating are Changeling and Night Huntress (Sisters of the Moon, #5), but you want to read the series in order.
There are two books that I like to reread partially because every time I do they still make me cry.
Charlotte's Web
Bridge to Terabithia
As the others said, definately UF. There's a smidge of romantic relationships in the third and fourth books, but they're not based on just the romance. I enjoyed the series because it was so different from the traditional UF stuff, the vampires, werewolves, etc.
Some of my fav UF authors are:
Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series
Kelley Armstrong and her Women of the Otherworld series
Carrie Vaughn and her Kitty Norville series
Yasmine Galenorn and her Sisters of the Moon series
C.E. Murphy and her Walker Papers series
Jim Butcher and his Harry Dresden series
Seanan McGuire's Rosemary and Rue
I'm 34 and I enjoy reading YA as well as Juvenile fiction as much as I do Adult. Some authors do very well writing both adults and young adults, keeping the maturity at the right level for the right group, others do better sticking to one maturity range. They try to write for one age range end up with a work that would be better for the other age range or they try writing for both age ranges and really are only good writing for one of them. For example, I think Kelley Armstrong is a better writer for adults than young adults while Kim Harrison does well for both.
My top 5 fav PNR authors and their series, in no particular order, are:
Yasmine Galenorn Otherworld (A.K.A. Sisters of the Moon) series
Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series
Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series
Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series
Christine Warren's The Others series

Carrie Vaughn writes a great series about a werewolf radio talkshow host named Kitty Norville. It starts with Kitty and the Midnight Hour.

In my area, anyone can buy used books from any library and library book sales are my Achille's heel, especially since I work at a library! lol. Able to get books for anywhere from a quarter to maybe a buck fifty just can't be passed up. My library sells paperbacks for 50 cents and hardcovers for a dollar and the books are usually in fine condition. Any withdrawals we make, I get first dibs on! I just got a whole Time-Life World War II series, 34 books, for just 10 bucks. My employer gets way too much of my paycheck back. lol

Shattered Chains by Clayton Emery
Deanne, this is Young Adult fiction, but you might like it anyway. Celia Rees's Supernatural Trilogy mixes ghost and faery lore with intriguing British history tidbits (such as the Plague years), when two parallel worlds intersect for four young people.
City of Shadows Book 1
A Trap in Time Book 2
The Host Rides Out Book 3
This was tough to choose, since I am sitting right next to my bookcase. But with my eyes closed, I reached out and grabbed:
"She wore siren red, which left a portion of her shoulders bared."
Valley of Silence by Nora Roberts
Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series and Yasmine Galenorn's Otherworld series both have elves and fairies and are some of my favorite urban fantasy reads.
I also suggest Celia Rees's YA trilogy City of Shadows Book 1, A Trap in Time Book 2, and The Host Rides Out Book 3. It's not romance, but her trilogy is one of the best I have read having to do with fairies and elves.

Sorry about my goof with the typo. :-( I'll fix it.
I don't know of one, but it would be nice if someone could create something like that for urban fantasy, like www.stopyourekillingme.com does for mysteries.
Yeah, I really hate it when that happens. I've gotten so I just judge a book by its rating rather than its reviews. I don't want to risk the book being ruined by someone giving something away in their review.
