The Hobbit! Right in time for the movie next month!
Can anyone recommend any of the following:1. Jane True series by Nicole Peeler
2. Indigo Court series Yasmine Galenom
3. The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
4. The Hollow series by Kim Harrison
5. The Blood Ties series by Jennifer Armintrout
6. Shifters Unbound series by Jennifer Ashley
7. Alex Craft series by Kalayna Price
My TBR list is very long so it hard to make a decision myself. It helps to hear what others think. Lately, the series I've been reading were good but not great enough to go on my favorite shelf:( I'm feel like I'm stuck between very YA or a book with nothing but sex with no story!! Don't get me wrong I like my mature lusty scenes once in a while but can a girl get an actual plot & romance!!!

Have you tried Kate Daniels? Or The Edge series both by Ilona Andrews? They are a great solid read, and the relationships build up! From the ones youve listed, Ive only read 2 of The Hollow series, but I know people think its a great series and its not sex overload.
* Lorelle...Unfortunately, I've already read Kate Daniels and the Edge series but thanks. I love a good steamy paranormal romance just trying to avoid an overkill like the Anita Blake series. I was thinking of taking a break from YA so Im lookin for a in between...
Hmmmm well I loved Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong, thats a good solid read , probably low on the steam though.. So what about the classic paranormal romance series ie Immortals after Dark , Dark Hunter, Lords of the Underworld, Black Dagger Brotherhood? I prefer UF, but people seem to love these. Also what about Fever series? Maybe I should look at your read list hehe

Anita without all the craziness apparantly :)
LoL...I appreciate the suggestions! I've read all the books that you've listed except the Kara Gillian series. I'll have to check it out. I have no preference between paranormal romance & urban fantasy. I like both types equally! I love any series that draws me in and makes it hard for me to put down. I do appreciate your help. Definitely will check out the Kara Gillian books because I think they are in my TBR pile :)

Jordy...aka....LuvPnrUfCrazyAddict wrote: "LoL...I appreciate the suggestions! I've read all the books that you've listed except the Kara Gillian series. I'll have to check it out. I have no preference between paranormal romance & urban fan..."Have you read Michelle Mead's Succubus series or her Dark Swan series? I loved both & only stumbled upon them while waiting for releases of her VA series lol I was a tad shocked. I didn't know there was adult PNR & since joining on here I have never had a bad recommendation from these lovely member's. I finished all the Dark Hunter series a month or so ago & will finish the first Lord Of The Underworld tonight. I am utterly upset though....I miss my Dark Hunter's :(
I just finished something outside the paranormal/fantasy genre that was so well written and absolutely an emotional ride, especially if you have ever had addiction issues or know someone who does/did. Wow! I'm moving on to book two. 
Book Two
I read and write
paranormal romance/fantasy, and sometimes a break into another genre can be refreshing. I hope I didn't commit a sin mentioning that I read outside the genre!

I find it hard to read YA now I have found this group but this book is well...beautiful. I found it a nice break from PNR, it's YA but not if that makes any sense & no full on sex scenes that are vividly described word for word like in Night Huntress BDB, Dark Hunters. As is Beyond the Highland Mist / To Tame a Highland Warrior

Its rare to have a fellow GR friend steer me wrong by a suggestion. I have not tackled KMM's Highlander series yet. I love her Fever Series so I'm move her Highlander series up on my TBR pile :) Sheree & Lorelle please feel free to sent me any recommendations regardless if they're YA or mor MA. I would love any new recommendations, please!

Maybe, I'll give the next book a try!

on my lunch break and I already can feel the tension rising. Can't wait to get to the good stuff! ^^"I LOVE this series. I just finished the fifth (and last one that is out to date) and I am so depressed that I won't get my monthly Chess and Terrible fix. But I hear she is working on a Terrible POV that will *hopefully* be out by Christmas!
Jordy...aka....LuvPnrUfCrazyAddict wrote: "LoL...I appreciate the suggestions! I've read all the books that you've listed except the Kara Gillian series. I'll have to check it out. I have no preference between paranormal romance & urban fan..."I second Lorelle's recommendation of Kara Gillian.
Also have you tried Eileen Wilks
or Stacia Kane

I couldn't NOT read them, I was so addicted (still am) but they're so worth it. My friend who nagged me to read them finally won & once I started I couldn't stop & I have passed her as she reads countless series & reads like a machine. Her goal was 200 books this year....she's had to "up" her goal twice now. She is always on challenges & now I'm nagging HER to hurry up & get back to the series. Well it's 12am & I just finished the 1st of Lords of The Underworld & am about to start Guild Hunter 1 & by the time I wake up I'll have to decide which series to buy the second book for

If it was me I would stick with the Lords of the Underworld series. I went thru those books like water! I even downloaded them on Audible so I could multi task. I remember being a bit sleep deprived because I couldn't put them down! Either way you decide to go...they're both great series. They were one of the very first series I ever read. My husband says I spend more time with my books than I do with him! He too believes I'm a reading machine and if I'm not with a book in my face than I have ear phones in while cleaning, cooking, or working!

I read the Indigo Court series. Well the first two books because I don't think my library has the third yet, but I enjoyed them. They did have sex, but it didn't really happen all that often and only occurred every now and then. It had a great storyline and plot and I do recommend giving it a shot if you're looking for something dark and edgy.

I don't want to ware out the books plus it's less of a wait for when they release Styxx if I keep reading two or three books then take a break.

I also read the first two in the Lords of the Underworld series. Even though I love the Lords of the Underworld, I like Guild Hunter a smidge more. Have you tried Showalter's other series, Atlantis? I thought it was a great series the first book is Heart of the Dragon.
Finished
and I thought it was great! Started
and half through

I really enjoyed it Jenny. I'm not big into werewolves, I only read it because a friend was raving about it. I loved it. I can't wait until the next book comes out. It had a nice mix of werewolves and other shifters, vampires, witches and some other creatures. Really unique story.

I was trying to concentrate on Guild Hunter but I kept thinking of what would become of the other Warrior's so I think I'll leave Guild Hunter for when I finish LOTU

Started
.Half way into it and I've only faced disappointments till now. I admit I expected a lot from this one(ZOMGHOT cover and its predecessors being pretty great and all) but this turned out to be a mindless mash without a proper build of romance with many head-diving and wtf-y moments; male and female leads taking the cup for display of utter trashiness.
just finished this one, five stars I love every book this authors writes.Now to finish
Finished
and it was pretty good. Excited for the movie! Started
yesterday and starting
hopefully tonight.

I've read all the books that you've listed ex..."No I haven't read any of her other books, the same friend who insisted I read Dark Hunter insisted I read IOTU. Don't get scared off Dark Hunter by reading Dream Hunter. It was one of my least liked in that series, roughly there's only three "boring" ones but you NEED to keep reading, they all play a role in the books that follow & you need to know the information carefully planted in all books. Guild Hunter's is my next series I will be reading :)
I'm a re-reader :) so I'm reading The Black Dagger Brotherhood books by JR Ward again. So sad how fast they go! I'm halfway through Lover Unleashed now.
I am reading Unholy Magic, and I don't know why I waited so long to read this series. It is addicting, and I will be a useless human being until I finish all the books in the series! I have a few books to go...sorry kids!
