J.R.Ward's Brotherhood series started out more para-romance but have moved toward the darker side of urban. IDK what is "too much" for you. I know many of her readers have turned off from these as they aren't "romance-y" enough. Otherwise, I have to agree w/Lilith Saintcrow. I didn't see Lackey as being so urban as mostly straight fantasy/YA--but I didn't read her Serrated Edge series, so maybe that is the one that was mentioned.
