[Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim)]

Demonica series by Larissa Ione is as good a place to start as any.

[Mairead]

Te succubus series by Richelle Mead is meant to be amazing.

[Gin]

Check out Succubus series by Richelle Mead, Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs, Immortals after Dark by kresley Cole (awesome), psy changeling or Angela guild series by Nalink Singh (double awesome) or Demonica series by Larissa Ione. I also love the outlander series by Diana Gabaldon but its only a tiny bit scifi. Good luck! There's tons of great stuff out there.

[Karen ~ Divhine]

Some of my favorites are: (None are YA)
Adrian, Lara - Midnight Breed series
Aiken, GA - Dragon Kin series
Frank, Jacquelyn - Nightwalker series
Frank, Jacquelyn - Shadow Walkers series
Ione, Larissa - Demonica
Johnson, Jean - Sons of Destiny
Kenyon, Sherrilyn - League Series
Kenyon, Sherrilyn - Dark Hunters series
Knight, Angela - Magneverse series
Laurenston - Shelly - Pride series and Magnus Pack series
Leigh, Lora - Breed Series
Palmer, Pamela - Feral Warriors
Singh, Natalina - Psy/Changling Series

[Laura]

Oh I forgt to mention I read the Succubus series . But yeah , They all sound really good thanks ! I will prolly go with Demonica and work my way through the list ! (:

[Gin]

Oh yeah...Midnight Breeds is a good series as well as Karen Moning's Highlander series! So many good ones!!!

[Lizbeth]

I know you asked for Paranormal Romance but...maybe some Urban Fantasy? Lots of kick butt stuff and humor ( and a bit of sexy time ) like in Night Huntress. I tend to get this from UF and I enjoyed almost all of the same books you did in your ( a lot of the ones on there are actually UF ) list.

Cassie Palmer series by Karen Chance is really good. I actually like her ( omitting Pritkin ) Dorina Basarab series more.

Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison. I loved it a lot. This book is more about friendship than love interests but they are veeery cute. The first half of the first book is a little hard to get in to.


The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning is really good, the last book just came out as well. It has a sort of love/hate relationship between the two characters as Bones and Cat started out. The man...Jericho Barrons. Well, uh, he is a freaking manbeast and he is just...amazing. Lol.

:D Happy reading.

I second Demonica, Immortals After Dark, Midnight Breed and Mageverse. I would add the following PNR series, with their first books:
Argeneau Vampires, Lynsay Sands
Love at Stake, Kerrelyn Sparks
The Others, Christine Warren
The Sentinel Wars by Shannon K Butcher
Nightcreature Series, Lori Handeland
Guardians of Eternity, Alexandra Ivy
(Some people think the first book is a little slow, but it's worth it to get started on the series.)

Those are my 4-5 star series. My 4-star series are:
Warriors of Poseidon, Alyssa Day
The Shadowkeepers, J K Beck
Atlantis, Gena Showalter

Some people love Christine Feehan's Carpathian's (Dark) series.

Happy reading!

[Christen (GoldiloxReads)]

I have to second the Demonica series! I've only read the first two so far, but they were wonderful! Definitely paranormal romance and not UF though, there is A LOT of sex! ;) (Oh yay, and there are good story lines too.......)

The Fever series is the most ridiculously addictive series I have ever read. Those books are on my favorites list right after Night Huntress and the Sookie books. They are a weird cross between PNF and UF I'd say - really hard to categorize. Talk about a slow build in a relationship! Sometimes you just want to strangle both characters and tell them to get it on already! :) Darkfever Fever Series 1

Some Girls Bite Chicagoland Vampires 1 is great as well, but not a full on PNR, more of an UF with some romance. Same for the Kate Daniels series Magic Bites Kate Daniels 1 and the Mercy Thompson series Moon Called Mercy Thompson 1.

I also love some of the other series listed above, but be sure you understand which are PNR and which are UF so you are getting what you are looking for!

Happy reading! :)

I'm going to go with all those who recommended Demonica by Larissa Ione. A great series, and only 5 books long.

[Laura]

I read part of the Dorina Basarab series and LOVED IT . I think I only read the first book (was last year) . Buh yeah Nigh Huntress has been at my top forever .

I wish it were longer! She's coming out with
, her Lords of Deliverance series, and I hope it's as good. But I digress. Please continue with recommendations for Laura... ;)

Well, it is sort of a spin-off of Demonica. The Sems and friends will make appearances. So at least we have that!

[Harlequin Books]

Wings in the Night series by Maggie Shayne

and

Lords of the Underworld by Gena Showalter

are a couple of my favorite series recently.

[Maranda]

Moon Chaser Series by Sharie Kohler.

Karen Marie Moning or Lora Leigh.

Maya Banks

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but also the Immortals After Dark series by Kresley Cole:

[Megan Riverina Romantics]

Christine Feehans Dark series is pretty good. Like Suzanne said Kresley Coles IAD series is good. Richelle mead has two other series out beside VA and a VA spin off is comming out in the summer I think. There is a Night Huntress spin off called the Night Huntress WorldFirst Drop of Crimson Eternal Kiss of Darknessalso you could look into the Anita Blake books the UF series by Laurell K Hamilton

[Megan Riverina Romantics]

Oh and since you also enjoy YA books look into The House of Night series by PC and Kristin Cast

[Harlequin Books]

I forgot you said YA was ok. So, there is also Maria V. Snyder's Study and Glass series and The Iron Fey serie by Julie Kagawa.

[Jaime]

Ilona Andrews' books are great, both series. The Magic series is more UF but there is a romantic thread that really grows through the books, and the Beast Lord as hero and sometimes antagonist. The Edge books are more romantic, a different couple in each one. And they're stand-alone.

For post-apocalyptic romance, check out Joss Ware's series. I just finished the first one in the series, and I love her worldbuilding.

The Night Huntress series is great, agreed.

Shana Abe's Dragon series is good too if you like a milder and historical PNR.

I write the Offspring series, which is psychic abilities, X-Files meets Lost type books.

I love Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson books, too, but there isn't a lot of romance in them, at least in the early books. I'm a couple behind right now.

[Akaria]

Briggs Alpha & Omega series has more romance but the heat factor is low. Anna and Charles are a wonderful couple and it's wonderful to see their relationship grow. Start with the short story in or you'll be lost!

[Megan]

Marjorie M. Liu
first book is Tiger Eye
Really good series.

This is a wonderful list. I highly recommend starting with Karen's list.

[Megan Riverina Romantics]

I'm on Kresley Cole's IAD series at the moment. Trying to catch up for the new release on the 15th!

[Melissa]

Cutting my answer short for readability. less crap.

Teenish=YA but not for like 13 yr olds

Adultish=teen-friendly but it was meant for adults OR more adult but it was meant for teens

A Great and Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle Books)
--Libba Bray, teenish
Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles)
--Kami Garcia&Margaret Stohl, teenish
Fallen
--Lauren Kate, teenish
The Host
--Stephenie Meyer, adult
Hush, Hush
--Becca Fitzpatrick, teenish
Graceling
--Kristin Cashore, adultish *more fantasy but good romantic thread. go Katsa!

[Megan Riverina Romantics]

I heard that was really good. I haven't read the Fallen or Hush, Hush books. The rest I've never heard of.

[Alese]

Ir was an amazing book. I loved it

[Suz]

It was exceptional and surprisingly emotional for me.

[Megan Riverina Romantics]

Everybody that I know who read it raves about it!

[Maryab]

Keri Arthur's Riley Jenson series is very good too! Main character is half vamp half werewolf. The author has great style and voice. It's definitely for adults ;o)

Most of them are newer series.

The Dorina Basarab prequel is in there, too. Or at least it's the story about her roommate that she's looking for in the first book. [bookcover:On the Prowl (Alpha and Omega:Briggs) (Inhuman:Wilks) (Buying Trouble:Chance)|285212]

[Lyzzibug ~Still Breathing~]

I know the covers are kinda cheesy, but it is a great story. Reminds me of Lord of the Rings with Romance. Great action with Fey and a Tairen Soul (Fey that can change into a flying cat!)

A totally FABULOUS series!

[C.J.]

Keri Arthur's Riley Jensen series is more UF than PNR but definitely has a hot romance thread through it. I highly recommend.

[Tara]

Agree with most of the above recommendations, but haven't seen anyone mention the ACRO series by Sydney Croft. It's about secret agent men/women who have super sci-fi abilities. While it may not be your traditional vamp - were - shifter world, it's definitely got some great storylines and characters with hot romance ending in a HEA! Enjoy!
