You might like Sleeping With The Fishes by Mary Janice Davidson. This is the first "romance" novel I've ever read. I finished it in one evening, of course, it's not very long. The main character is a mermaid. There's a lot of humor and the plot moves pretty quickly.
The author also has a vampire series, which I haven't read, it's called Undead. You might like it if you're into paranormal stuff. Hope this helped!

I'm a fan of the classic cozy writers like Agatha Christie. Her books are still among the best puzzles every. For something more modern, Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum mysteries) is very good.
Also, if you want to try some new writers without investing a lot of money check out a local used bookstore. It's an excellent way to discover new genres and writers!

I would reccomend any mystery books written by Robert Crais, Dennis Lehane, Harlan Coben or Jeffrey Deaver.

You will definitely love Sherrilyn Kenyon's novels.She writes Dark Hunter book series. The books provide an alternate take on vampires.People who are unjustly murdered call upon Artemis(Greek goddess) and she grants them a day to avenge themselves.After that they are recruited to her army to fight against evil.These are romance novels.Best of the series are 'Dance with the devil' and 'Seize the night'.
Werehunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books in the series are Nightplay,Dragonswan,Stroke of midnight,Unleash the night.These are romance novels.You can read not only about were-wolves but also about were-dragons,were-panthers,wer... and were-tigers.The heros are handsome,powerful and with a mysterious past.Interesting reading.The best of the lot is Night play.
For a really funny vampire romance books read Argeneau book series by Lynsay Sands.The first one of the lot is 'Single white vampire'.Recluse vampire and novelist Lucern Argeneau finds his lair being invaded by his determined editor Kate.He has to hide the fact that he is a vampire from Kate,partake his daily blood quota and manage his family.His interfering all-vampire family doesn’t make things easier.Infact his mom thinks that Kate is perfectly suitable for him.
Prime vampire novels by Susan Sizemore is interesting.The best of the lot is the 4th book 'Master of Darkness.' Reluctant vampire hunter Eden Faveau thinks Laurent is her new partner in an investigation to take down a local vampire drug ring. Laurent is really a renegade vampire from the Tribe Manticore and he is in the right place at the right time to take advantage of Eden. He needs her computer expertise to hack a laptop that he stole from the Tribe leader, Justinian.
As the person before me recommended,Kelley Armstrong writes great paranormal books.The first three are about Elena,the only female werewolf in the world.
Hunter's moon,Moon's web are novels written by Cathy Clamp and C.T. Adams about a werewolf Tony Giodone who is an assassin-for-hire by profession.It is written from Tony's first person POV (point of view).Tony meets his new client, one Suzi Quentin. She wanted someone offed. Well, this is child's play to our boy...um...wolf...Tony. Only she knocks him for a loop when she tells him the name of the person she wants killed - herself!So begins the story.

Go for Barbara Erskine, she's written some fantabulous books, that I'm sure you'll like.
"Child of the Phoenix"
"Daughter of fire"
And quite a few more.

Kelley Armstrong is one of my favorite authors. Here is her website. If you go to the 'online fiction' link you can read the background stroy behind her first novel.

Try "The boy detective fails" by Joe Meno. it's not really in your category but it is a great and moving book.
