two suggestions:

1)
based on what you said, you might check out Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thmpson series, starting with "Moon Called". Strong female main character (with powers of her own), interesting take on Modern world + Fantasy world. As for the romance, she has her choices, plus looks like there will always be an unrequited love on the part of one of the main characters to deal with as well. I should also mention the writing often is quite humourous as well (it's first person so it's the character's sense of humour).


2) A little off-topic, but Naomi Novik's Temeraire series is a love story about a man and his dragon. Ok, that's not really the point of the series (But it is). Jane Austen meets Patrick O'Brian meets Fantasy. Can't get much cooler than that.
