Audrey (reynolau) | 5 comments This is my first time posting in this group so I apologise for any mistakes!

I'm looking for a new good UF series that features a good hero/ine and looks of well written action, and multiple love interests. I mean like get a partner, break up, meet someone new. I like my sexual tension to continue... and I love scenes with angry exes (what's wrong with me?!)

I mean something more in the line of Rachel Morgan's and Sookie Stackhouse's messy love lifes rather than Anita Blake's orgies... I want my characters to believe in love, just maybe not be very good at finding The One.

Any recommendations? I love well written UF but I usually need a sexual tension hook to keep me buying them.

As soon as I read your post, Keri Arthur's Riley Jenson immediately came to mind. I consider the series as UF and there's definitely more than one love interest. Not necessarily a different one for every book (frex, Quinn is in picture in some fashion thruout the series) but rather, a back and forth w/ old and new interests.

Full Moon Rising (Riley Jenson Guardian, #1) by Keri Arthur Full Moon Rising is book #1 in series.

Danielle There was some back and forth in the Stray Series by Rachel Vincent. Not a new man every book but a few guys total over the whole series. It was a good series. Not fantastic but I definitely liked it better than Full Moon Rising.

Pippa DaCosta | 68 comments I know what you mean. When there's just the one love interest, the tension can fizzle after a while ;)

Angry exes - I hear yah. Jealously, conflict, doubt... It all gets thrown into the pot.

Debi (debisattic) | 157 comments I really liked the October Daye series...complicated love life Rosemary and Rue (October Daye, #1) by Seanan McGuire

I have been reading Kara Gillian series and it has a triangle but from the blurbs on next books seems there is a bit of a twist and she has a new lover. I've like the series so far.
Mark of the Demon (Kara Gillian, #1) by Diana Rowland

Also try the Jane Yellowrock series...messy love life there too. Took a bit to get used to her beast but it gets better as the books go along. I like the series.

Anyone know about the Elemental Assassin series? I just read the first one so far, but the guy she has smex with does not seem to the the guy in the future books? Spider's Bite (Elemental Assassin, #1) by Jennifer Estep

I love the Spider (Elemental Assassins) series. And no, the guy she starts with in book 1 isn't the one that "sticks". I won't say more than that. And there will be ex's showing up in later books. . .

Melissa | 6 comments You will LOVE the Kara Gillian books!! They get better and better as the series goes on. Which is a HUGE plus! Some series seem to become stale after a while, but not this one.

Also lover the Elemental Assassin series! It is one of my favorites. The love interest gets messy and it takes you on an emotional roller coaster later in the series but it is wonderful! You will not be disapointed.
