I was so happy to see "adult" on this list description, and like many of you, disappointed to see the usual Twilight/Academy/House of c__p. And many of the listed books aren't romances either, but I added some that I think fit, altho the vamps may not be traditional blood suckers in some(Sunny, and CT Clamp).

I agree. Why are there teen/YA series on the "adult" list? It's called "The Best Adult Vampire Romance Books." Look at the majority of the books on this list, those teen books don't hold a candle.

I'd love to see "Edward" go against ANY ONE of the real men on this list. LOL Ok. Having too much fun with this one. No offense to YA fans out there. Just having a bit of fun with that one.

I read JR Ward, Liu etc. when I first started reading vamp books, but got tired of the formulas- and esp. the true mate business. I much prefer authors like Keri Arthur, where there is actual sex and not necessarily with your "one true love", if you are looking for romances with vamps.

thanks for the suggestion because like you i am really tired of the formula...tribes of the vampire are the ones that are similar to that style that i actually liked...i actually am attempting writing 2 right now cuz im like they are so simple anyone with a minimal talent for writing could do this so we will see...im going over to www.4shared.com...right now to get it so thanks again

I just had to say something, though I am indeed a teenager this list contains some of my all time favorite books (and I am not talking Twilight :D). I am super glad The BDB books are at the top of the list! I talk everyone's ears off about those books! And, I just finished the latest "Sookie" book.
I am really glad someone started a list like this, now I can add more to my "To-read" shelf.
P.S. B.evil Totally agree with the sh*tkicker thing, but something like that wont stop me from reading them, and Tasula the "one true love" thing is actually why a LOT of people read vamp books in the first place.
Happy Reading!

The Minion is first. Then the Awakening. Then the Munted and then the Bitten. It is a great series. It was the first vampire series I read. There are twelve books. The author has a wolf series and recently started a fallen angels series. Unfortunately she passed away recently. But enjoy the book she has left behind.

House of Night and Twight series are both YA. I want adult book with sex and bad words to get a break from the sexually frustrating YA books. Although some are good books, they shouldn't be in this list.

Did you find some books that were new to you that you DID like from this list? If you are interested in books with fairly explicit sex and a touch of romance but nothing gushy, try Keri Arthur, Sunny, Amy Lane, or Jory Strong- even some Kresley Cole isn't too romancy.

I wish we had a rating system for romance/kink. Like a 0 is the YA stuff where physical love in only hinted at, a 5 can be monogomous romancy/true love stuff like Feehan, and Liu, etc. and a 10 can be the truly kinky Anita Blake series, etc. where the heroin has multiple partners.
That'd make things so much easier!
