Best Vampire Romance Books
Made By The Vampire King
“Made by the Vampire King,” co-authored by Roxie Ray and Lindsey Devin, follows the story of a young woman who has fallen in love with the vampire king. For as long as she could remember, she only wanted Nic, the vampire king. He is hot, steamy, seductive, and has a dark charm that any woman craves.
However, things quickly change when her father is brutally murdered by enemy vampires, and this is when our young heroine starts to seek revenge. She asks the vampire king to turn her into a vampire, so she can use her new vampiric powers to avenge those who murdered her father. Nic, however, refuses to do so, as seeking revenge is not the right reason to turn into a vampire.
Our heroine does not see things this way and seeks another vampire to turn her. Now, our heroine must decide between her love and loyalty to Nic and her desire to get revenge for her father’s murder. Will she turn into a vampire and finally get the revenge she wants, or will she be loyal to Nic and respect his wishes? Only time will tell.
The Scent
“The Scent,” written by New York Times bestselling author HP Mallory, is the second installment in the Vampire Esquire series. Although the first book is also a good read, it’s not necessary to have read it to understand what is going on in this installment.
This book follows a young woman about to have her loyalty tested. She has a very odd relationship with her sister Jolie, the queen of the underworld. Although she loves Jolie, she also finds her reprehensible for what she is.
Sinjin Sinclair is a calculated, calm, and cool vampire, a beast who is cocky, unapologetically sexual, and more. He is a true master vampire, and our heroine finds him absolutely disgusting, or so she thinks. But, of course, as is often the case, the two develop feelings for each other, and things take off.
Who Wants Forever
“Who Wants Forever,” written by award-winning author Dena Garson, focuses on a forbidden love story between a vampire and a fae. The setting is Tullamore castle, an old castle that has been turned into a hotel in the heart of Ireland. The story starts with our favorite vampire, Amarande Maniaci, who takes part in the bachelor trials set up by the local vampire council to find a good vampire mate.
His goal is to find a vampire to mate with. However, the only person or thing he can focus on is Reaghan, a woman he thinks is nothing more than a lowly human. However, Reaghan is not a human but the fae queen’s cousin.
The fae queen sent her to the human realm to find the daughter of one of the first families. However, Reaghan’s hopes of remaining undetected are soon threatened. She needs to find information that could save the 300-year-old treaty between the vampires and the fae, and if this treaty is broken, war will ensue.
The issue is that this fae is disguised as a human, so finding a missing fae without her powers is easier said than done. Instead, she finds herself distracted and enchanted by Amarande. Will Reaghan be able to find the first daughter and save the treaty, or will she give in to her lust and passion?
Unusual
“Unusual,” written by Meg Michelle, is a sweet vampire romance novel that doesn’t contain much violence, bloodshed, or anything else. This is a good read if you are looking for a more classic human and beast love story that doesn’t involve crowds and pitchforks.

However, Jaxon hasn’t felt anything for years because he closed himself off and built an emotional wall around himself.

Filthy Rich Vampire
This is the first book in the Filthy Rich Vampires Series by Geneva Lee Albin. We guarantee that once you have read book one, you will have to read the rest, as this is one of the most compelling vampire romance series books.
Julian Rousseaux is a single yet wealthy vampire. The social season for vampires is about to start, and he needs a mate. However, Julian would rather drive a stake through his own heart than play this game of mating and marriage.
As the family’s oldest member, being an eligible bachelor is unacceptable, and he is expected to find a mate by the end of the social season.

The Vampire’s Vow
“The Vampire’s Vow,” written by Alice Wilde, is the third installment in the A Deal with the Devil Series. So, we recommend reading the first two books before this one, as it is essential to know what is happening. Then, however, you can read it as a stand-alone novel, and it will make sense.
It’s also worth noting that this book is full of dark themes, sexuality, violence, and triggers, so it’s not for the faint of heart.
Our young heroine discovers the world of vampires and quickly becomes embroiled. She falls for a cruel vampire she has strong feelings for—both good and bad. Now, she must decide if he is worth the trouble and if he is worth risking her life for.
Kidnapped by the Vampire Prince
“Kidnapped by the Vampire Prince,” written by Electra Cage, is the first book in the Royal Vampires series. This is a classic enemies-to-lovers romance that includes the supernatural. A vampire prince is set to become the king of all vampires, but there is a problem.
To become the king, he must find a suitable mate before his coronation. So, he finds a mortal girl he likes, changes her into a vampire and takes her as his mate. But oddly enough, he never really touches her. She has nightmares about all the horrible things he has done to her, yet she is trapped in his castle and cannot escape.
When she has the chance to escape, she doesn’t take it because of the bloodlust he instilled in her. So now, she must decide whether to give in to her bloodlust, stick around and become his true mate, or escape and reclaim her former life.
If you are looking for a book with obsession, kidnapping, anti-heroes, arranged marriages, and more, this is a great book. The tension, passion, bloodlust, and sheer emotion contained in 140 pages is unlike anything we have seen before—as far as vampire romance books are concerned.
