Vampire/Werewolf books with a touch of romance

A Listmania! list by Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England)
The list author says: "There are an awful lot of vampire/werewolf books out there, some in the horror genre, some in fantasy, some with romance as part of them. I like the fantasy/romance ones where the authors get the opportunity to examine themes of cross-cultural misunderstandings, racial suspicion (between preternatural people and regular humans) and violence as part of cultural behaviour patterns.

Of course lots of vampire/werewolf books are just a romantic story with someone who drinks blood or is furry, but if you look carefully there are some books out there which have far more to them. I've listed a few below, some of which are more lighthearted than others, but all of which I think will give you a really good read. Enjoy!"
