Lost Boys is what made me hot for vampires way back when...(love me some Keifer)... which led to Anne Rice. I tried to go back and read one of her books recently and thought it sucked by the way.

But had the hots for vampires and vampire looking guys and anything spooky or whatever for quite some time.

Then I grew up, got married, and really let the vamps go.

Never got into Buffy. It was just too campy for me.

Read Twilight and got very much back into vampires. I enjoyed the books for what they are - teen lit. Light. And I hadn't read a romance in a long time and it filled the need for that. And since then I've read many vampire romance books and have enjoyed them quite a bit. The do not care for the actress that plays Bella. Blah. She seems rather bored. And the glitter effect sucks - and the meadow scene was so meh.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series, which I've mentioed before, is very erotic! Pretty graphic and has a smidge of homoerotica in a few of the books that's pretty hot too. If you love the vampires - why are you here reading this when you could be reading the series?!? At first I was a bit put off by the naming of characters, but have no issue with that at all now. Can't wait for the next in the series.

True Blood though. So HOT! Can't stand Bill for the most part. He's so... uncool somehow. Love the parts with Jessica and Hoyt. She's pretty hot herself.

There's a good website called lovevampires.com that has reviews of vampire romance books that tend to agree with my own opinions of them.
