I already loved Eric Northman, partially fueled by Alexander Skarsgård's portrayal of the character on the HBO tv show, but Dead to the World (Book 4) solidified my love for the charming, occasionally wild vampire owner of Fangtasia.
In Book 4, Eric finds himself with no memories, and no memories of how he lost those memories, and suddenly (for his own protection) living with Sookie Stackhouse. During this novel, Sookie is also conveniently broken up with her on-again-off-again vampire boyfriend Bill. This opens up Sookie to a world of romance between her and Eric Northman who can tell he's had a somewhat intimate relationship with Sookie due to her having ingested his blood.
It was sad but honestly expected that after regaining his memories, Eric doesn't recall his time with Sookie but what is exciting is Sookie hoarding the knowledge of what happened over Eric. Whether that's because she's embarrassed or doesn't want to stroke Eric's ego is another story.
