Your favorite vampires

I'd been away from the romance genre entirely for about 10 years until the beginning of the 2000s when I found Karen Marie Moning's Highlanders and Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters. SK got me totally hooked on paranormal romance, and I've glommed on tonnes since. Though my interest with her has fizzled a bit, I did stick it out till Acheron & Stryker got their books, that makes what - books 21 & 22?? But since then she's dragged it out a bit much, introduced too many new plot tropes, and extra characters etc.

I love the Lara Adrian Midnight Breed, and 14 books in, though I'm a couple behind, I'm still reading them.
I loved the early JR Ward BDB, well the first 4 or 5 and #8 Rehv's book, but I'd gone off them by the time I couldn't get more than a few chapters into #10 and never went back. The death knell was pretty much Phury's book and there was no recovery for me (with the exception of the lone bright spot that was Rehv's book).

Loved Kathryn Smith's historical vampire Brotherhood of the Blood series. Yay, a well thought out, planned, and properly concluded 5 book series (before it had been milked to death or fizzled out).
Rene Lyons' Templar Vampire series was brilliant - shame there were only 3 books and the series seemed unfinished - I wanted more of the guys to get their books.
Tina Folsom's Scanguards Vampire series sucked me in... though I'm about 4 books behind, so it's kinda fizzled by about the 10 book mark for me.

D. McEntire's The Watchers series had me sucked till the very end (a concluded 6 book series). More "old-school" type vamps here which made for a nice change in compared to everyone else's being new and different in some way.
Sarah McCarty's Shadow Wranglers series had me sucked in (4 books, concluded) - contemporary cowboy vampires, that's different.
Kathy Love's Young Brothers series (4 books, concluded) and the spinoff New Orleans Vampire series (5 books, concluded) are two more faves.

But these days, my absolute favourite vampire series is Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardian series. 7 books and 2 novellas so far and not a dud in the bunch and absolutely no hint of it fizzling out (well not for me anyway).

Of these my fave vamps are SK:  Kyrian, Valerius & Acheron... LA: Dante & Rio... JRW:  Rhage & Butch... KS:  Chapel... RL:  Sebastian & Lucian... TF:  Samson, Gabriel & Zane...  DM, SMcC & KL - none are really jumping out at me... Dianne Duvall:  Jeez - All them??  She just writes heroes I adore!!!

Hey girls, now that we're talking about vampires, I'm looking for a good love story between a vampire H and a human h. But I want the h to be completely clueless about vampires (and supernatural criatures in general) at first, you know? I don't want her to be a hunter, or a hybrid or anything like that (I don't like those type of heroines).

So if you could help me I would be most grateful!

I love that series as well. I like to reread the series around Halloween. So it's almost time for a reread.

I also like Emma Holly's Midnight Series. But those would be considered Paranormal because they are shape shifting vampires. Actually two of them aren't shape shifting, Devil At Midnight
and Angel At Dawn.  You have to read them in order because book 1 ends in a cliffhanger.  

Veniamin - you could also try Tina Folsom's series Scangaurd's Vampires

Most of the books are vamp H and human h. (but not all). The human's are completely unaware that vamp's exist. Lovely alternative to "turning" the human's in these books. I refer to them as "ethical vamps". Lot's of them use blood from blood banks (until they mate )

Thank you so much for all your recs! You rock!

linviolet - I love Lothaire too. It's a favorite.

It's not for everyone though as the H is an alpha-hole, he cheats in a weird way prior to them being in a relationship. Even though they weren't in a relationship, it was still a betrayal. I can't explain without spoiling some of it.
