I kind of felt the same when I picked up the first Mercy Thompson book in an airport, but now I read them immediately. Which isn't to say I think they're perfect or anything, but I get it. And her world is far less generic than many of the werewolvey ones. I really like the things she does with fae and vampire magic.
Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels books are still my faves, though, so maybe try those? I have a feeling you would like the story/world to romance ratio in those better. Or just try some YA examples--Cassie Clare's Mortal Instruments books I heart the most and while they do have werewolves and vampires, I don't think you would mind them.
