Urban Fantasy is a new sub genre for me, and one that I'm really enjoying. My favorites have an element of romance in them without any graphic sex scenes. I started off with the Rachel Morgan series but gave them up because of the Rachel/Ivy relationship. I also enjoyed the Anita Blake books (the first 5 at any rate). I'd love to find another good series along those lines. Any recommendations?

These are a few I've tried:
Any Given Doomsday (The Phoenix Chronicles)(* this was awful)
Touch the Dark (Cassandra Palmer, Book 1) (*1/2 too much plot & one unending sex scene)
Sunshine (***1/2 really interesting world, a bit sexy at the end)
Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 1)(**1/2)

Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series is pretty good. I really liked Rachel Vincent's Werecat series, but there's a couple graphic scenes in there.
