All of us are PR/UF fans but I´m sure you´ve read one more than the other even if just to a smaller degree. Which is it? And whats the last book you read of the genre? Personally I´ve read a bit more UF, but the last book I read was a Paranormal romance.

Wow...I would have to go back and look, but I think I've read more UF by just a few. The last book I read was UF, Wild Things by Chloe Neill.
I'm more of a paranormal romance lover, but I do like Urban Fantasy. I just love to read whatever catches my fancy. Cheers!!!!
Funny, the last one I read PA was really sad but it does redeem itself. But it was a cute ending loved it.
I honestly don't know. Sometimes these two genres blend so much together that I don't really pay attention nor do I care. I love them both as long as there's a good plot.
I didn't realize the book series I've written was considered a paranormal romance series until my agent (at that time) gave it that genre label. Since then, I've been fascinated (and pleasantly surprised) by the quality of PNR books out there. I'm definitely a new fan of PNR!
I read way more UF... mostly because I get agitated after reading a few PNR books... so I have to read them sparingly. I love a little love story, but man, some of the PNR's just go ON... and on.. and on... with the "we can't seem to get together even though we are in love" nonsense... so I have to read 3 UF series to every 1 PNR to keep myself sane.

I prefer uf and it's what I mostly read. But there are a few pnr series (IAD for example) that I absolutely love.Last book I read was uf.
I’ve read more paranormal romances, but many of my favourites are urban fantasy (Mercy Thompson, for example).It’s because so many authors seem incapable of creating a strong UF heroine who isn’t also nasty and unnecessarily violent – and a total Mary Sue with super-duper unique powers and a hundred men in love with her!
Also, because while I don’t need romance at the centre of the story, I do need some acknowledgement that “human” emotions happen even in crazy situations!
I also prefer UF. PR gets to predictable and annoying. I last read Tempting Danger which I thought was UF but seems to be PR. Hate when that happens.

I like both equally, a UF just doesn't seem complete without a little love interest somewhere in the series. And if there isn't a nice bit of world building a PR is just boring. Last I read was a little more UF than PRRed-Headed Stepchild, and the one I'm reading Immortal Ridernow swings the opposite way with PR being the dominant element with a little UF support. My requirement are I have to actually like the main characters, and I have to like the writing.
