Spoiler:
1) Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians series. I've read 5 or 6 of these and really enjoy them. I keep meaning to catch up.  Each book has a good, strong romance and the world building has some similarities to Lara Adrian's series.
2) Jennifer Ashley's Shifters Unbound series. I don't know if you've ever read her Mackenzies historical series (ie, The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie). If you have and you liked it, you'd probably like these. The first book or two seem pretty uncomplicated, but she's now around 10-12 books in and keeps building up this world.
3) Molly Harper's Naked Werewolf series starting with How to Flirt with a Naked Werewolf. These have cutesy covers and look humorous, but actually they are more serious. I liked this series more than her Jane Jameson one.
4) Paige Tyler's SWAT series. This one features a Dallas SWAT team that is composed of werewolves. They are getting to be a bit similar, but still fun to read and I really like the blend of action and romance. I'm not at all into romantic suspense and these definitely feel more like romance than suspense. She has another series featuring shifters called the X-Op series, but I tried one of those and it felt more like romantic suspense, so I didn't continue with it.
5) Sara Humphreys' Dead in the City series which features mainly vamps. She also has a shifters series, The Amoveo Legend, which I haven't tried yet.
I might have recommended one or all of these in the past - if so, sorry for repeating myself.  Also, all of these series are through bigger publishers so there's at least a chance that you can find some of them at your library. |
Thank you so much! I pretty much have all of these and so far I tried Immortal Guardian series got stuck on the first book but it was right after Venom's book so that's probably why. You just can't switch gears after reading a GH novel so quickly. Nothing compares. I started Pride Mates and got stuck but don't remember why, I think it was after Chicagoland Vampires so that's probably why. SWAT series read the first book and loved it several years back plan to read the second someday. I have not tried Humphrey's books though I have them all due to her big giveaway.
Right now I'm reading Kathryn Le Veque's The Crusader which is a paranormal in its own right not exactly a time travel but sorta. Time Travel romance as you may remember was really popular in the late 80s/90s and with the exception of Outlander kind fell out of fashion. I recently found my first time travel novel I read at the Library for a quarter in pretty good shape too.
