That was the other Michaels book I recced that was in the store-- that's the one with the hero that I like a lot. The others were Someone in the House, which is best read if you've read other Gothics and can see what she's playing off of, and I think The Sea King's Daughter.
The Barbara Hambly recs are:
The Darwath trilogy: The Time of the Dark, The Walls of the Air, The Armies of Daylight. Excellent stuff, with a swordfighting medieval history grad student heroine. Sequels are Mother of Winter, which I like, and Icefalcon's Quest, which I don't because it has too much child-in-distress (though I like the Icefalcon stuff.)
The Windrose series: The Silent Tower, The Silicon Mage. Wonderful books, can't recommend them too highly. Sequel is Dog Wizard, not as steller but worth reading. Stranger at the Wedding is associational, also not as stellar but worth reading.
The vampire books, Those who Hunt the Night and Traveling with the Dead, are very good and must be read in order.
