You could check out my Void City series: Staked , ReVamped , Crossed , Burned

Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series.

I second the Nightside recommendation.

Rob Thurman's Leandros Brothers Novels...

Anton Strout's Simon Canderous series

James R. Tuck's Blood and Bullets

Mario Acevedo 's Felix Gomez books

All of those have male protagonists. I think they all meet your length requirement, too. :)

Forging Truth is the first novel of The Truth Saga. I'm doing the whole thing in first person (with a couple of flashbacks thrown in as third person to help them stand out). It's an urban fantasy about a guy who gains powers and has to figure out how. More importantly, along the way, he discovers just why it is so important for him to have them.

I love reading/writing in first person, because I can get into the character more. Don't get me wrong, I also like to read other p.o.v., but first person gets me sucked in faster.

If you would like to check it out, it's available in Paperback and on the Kindle. http://amzn.to/uD487o

I find that writing in first person is pretty hard. I totally respect people like Jim Butcher who can do it right. An author can't just write in the first person. He/She has to develop the voice and attitude of the character and NEVER deviate from it. They also have to avoid stating the obvious, which I find some authors do when they write with sentences like "I was so scared." It takes a touch I don't yet have in the craft to accomplish the voice that Harry Dresden has yet still tell the story effectively.

Edit: not only that, it's so hard to write a story from a single point of view, in my opinion. There is so much happening outside of the frame of the POV character that somehow has to be presented to the reader without screwing up the narrators voice or the flow of the story. Whew! Mass respect for those who can pull it off!

If you'd be willing to read a female point of view I'd recomend the Sookie Stackhouse novels.
