Laurell K Hamilton is great. A Kiss of Shadows is the first in her Meredith Gentry (faerie princess) series, and Guilty PLeasures is the first in her Anita Blake (vampire hutner) series. She has an excellent mix of erotic imagery and feeling with some amazing characters and the ability to develop a fairly believable world based off of relatively focused changes to history. She's got some amazing stories, too. If you're not much for horror, you might try the Meredith Gentry books first, but if you have any appreciation for darker imagery, the Anita Blake books are awesome, too. Both series get fairly explicit in their sex scenes, but LKH does an amazing job of making it feel natural rather than gratuitous. She also deals with relationships with people who have very odd issues.

Thanks for this recommendation. I am a huge fan of the vampire/werewolf type of dark imagery in movies. I have read Anne Rice. I picked up a Laurell K. Hamilton book "Cerulean Sins" at the library - HOT HOT HOT! I will definately go back and check out some others.
