Question:
Recently I’ve been reading paranormal romances. I really like the novels written by Gena Showalter. Does anyone know of any other authors that are similar to Gena?

All authors under the mainstream radar but they do write good paranormal romances:
Bonnie Lea Elliott, Shannon Bailey, Melanie Nowak, T.L. Mitchell, Wendy McNair, Jessica Coulter Smith, Amy Lane the list is endless and I apologize to any author I may have forgotten.
Could I be bold enough to also add my own name?
I love Gena!!! Some other series that I really love are:
“The Immortals After Dark” series by Kresley Cole.
A great series and I find when I read these books that I’m sucked into the story and then all of a sudden I find myself cracking-up with laughter because of something that is said or done (mainly something involoving “Nutty” Nix ^_^). The first time this happened I was so surprised I had to re-read the whole page because I didn’t see it coming and I wanted to re-live the laughter =). I’m not saying this series is a comedy or anything, but there is some humour involved. Here’s a blurb:
Every creature or being that was thought to be mythical . . . isn’t.
They all secretly exist alongside humans and enjoy the gift of immortality. There are hundreds of different kinds: from Vampires to Lykae, from Furies to Shifters, from the Fey to Valkyries.
These immortals call their world The Lore.
You may have had a brush with one of Lorekind already. The eccentric billionaire with hypnotic charisma—and an aversion to sunlight. The ethereal waif of impossible beauty—whose fingernails look more like claws. The Highlander with a seventeenth-century Scottish accent and animal magnetism—who can never be penciled in on the night of the full moon.
They walk among us, but they war among themselves. Each faction has its strengths, weaknesses, and age old prejudices against the others. Every five hundred years, the Accession, a battle for supremacy, rages. That time is now. . . .
“The Carpathian” series by Christine Feehan.
The humour in these books is very different but the same in that this series isn’t a comedy. The humour is when an Ancient Carpathian male finds his lifemate with a modern female (even if she does have some psychic ability), the males can be … well so cavemen-ish and so ‘the women must be rolled in pillows and protected’ and most of their lifemates are strong females who don’t need/want protection so the males are always growling and giving orders and the females are always rolling their eyes and ignoring them. Great fun!! =) Here’s a blurb of the first book Dark Prince:
Not yet a vampire but not a human, Carpathians are of the earth and have the ability to control nature. Shapeshifting, mind control and their own brand of justice – these beings are unique, enthralling and terribly exciting! If you enjoy the darker side of romance, love with a slight chill running down your spine read The Dark Series!
Mikhail Dubrinsky is the oldest existing Carpathian, he is considered one of the Ancients – although he looks like a fallen angel. His power is incredible, his responsibilities are enormous and his law is absolute. Yet his destiny lies in the soul of one petite woman who is both exquisite and intelligent, not to mention human. Of course, what else would his lifemate be?
Raven Whitney never thought her psychic abilities would bring her the love of her life, nor did she realize he would change her life forever! The only thing she knew for sure was that she loved this arrogant, totally male being with all of her heart and there was nothing she wouldn’t do to make him smile, unless he became too sure of himself… then she’d have to put him in his place.
“The Dark Hunter”/”The Dream Hunter” series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
This is a great series also. The Dark Hunter and The Dream Hunter series are interwoven with each other and can be read seperatly or together. Fantasy Lover is the first book in “The Dark Hunter” series here’s a blurb:
Twenty-nine year-old sex therapist Grace Alexander has been celibate for four years after experiencing a horrendous relationship with a self-centered, cruel former lover. Grace’s flamboyant, exotic friend Selena decides it’s time to get Grace back in the swing of things and she has just the solution — an ancient tome holding a magnificent male specimen cursed to live between the pages of the book for eternity — until he’s called forth with a magic spell to serve as a love slave to his summoner for a period of one month. Having experienced Selena’s so-called magic spells before, Grace isn’t worried that the gorgeous guy in the picture is going to magically appear. Surprise, surprise, and happy birthday to Grace!
Julian of Macedon, half God, half mortal, is so exceptionally good looking that he made women fall at his feet and men green with envy and jealousy, in his time — 149 BC. Jealousy and atonement for his sins, is what finds Julian cursed and trapped between the pages of a book only free for one month at a time, if he’s lucky. Sometimes that freedom only comes once every one hundred years. When Grace summons him from the book, Julian is resigned and ready to fulfill her every sexual dream and fantasy. Grace, however, has other ideas for Julian. When Grace summons him from the book, Julian is resigned and ready to fulfill her every sexual dream and fantasy. Grace, however, has other ideas for Julian. When she discovers just what a heartbreaking, loveless and dark life he’s lived, Grace decides to show Julian just what friendship and love mean.
