Ridgeville Series: Volume One
Quick and Furry Collection

Those are the series that I first thought of--I was on my phone and couldn't do a more detailed post. There's also, now that I have a tablet to work on, Zoe Chant, Vivian Arend and Eve Langlais that I've enjoyed.

You are missing out if you haven't tried the Southern Sanctuary Series by Jane Cousins

No shifters but magic, heaps of laughs and an excellent supporting eccentric cast of characters. And the main couples are awesome with snappy dialogue.
Start with book one - To Woo A Warrior

Will check those out

Argeneau Vampires
, ...
It stays pretty good for about the first 20 then humor slides.

Yea that series is great I’ve read like the first several book of that series I might re-read them again

Did you try Laurenston's Dragon Kin series, written under G.A. Aiken

The humor and story gets convoluted with the last ones but the first half, I thought was a hoot.

Yes I’ve read some of that series. I enjoyed the first few books in that series.

Oh, I enjoyed it. There are a couple there I wanted to reread!

Um... hm...
How about Kerrelyn Sparks

I really liked some of those but not as much as the first half of Argeneau.

Some people like Katie MacAlister, I don't get her humor. Or First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones, for me her humor is trying too hard or something.

The first few Queen Betsy's were fun


also the trilogy

was really fun

Definitely adding some of these to my TR list.

I’ve read the Argeneau series up to book 10 I think. And Love at Stake series 1-9.Havent read any of Kate Macalister books or Darynda Jones books . I’ll have to look them up. Plus the other mentions.Thanks for the recommendations. I now have some books added to my TBR and to TBRR ( to be reread)

I haven't read Shelly Laurenston Magnus Pack and Pride series or Dana Marie Bell Halle Shifter series's, but:

I just reread Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost--really excellent PNR, and I laughed out loud a few times. The heroine is super sassy, especially as she gets her feet under her and gets more comfortable in her adventure. I don't know if Beautiful Ashes is like Pack and Pride or Shifter, but based on the title of this thread I'd recommend it :)

It's also part 1 in a series.

GA Aiken is another pen name Laurenston writes under. She has the Dragon Kin series and I just finished The Blacksmith Queen which looks like it is set in the same world as Dragon Kin.

Christine Warren has a couple of paranormal series-- a shifter based that's comparable to Laurenston's Others series, and a Gargoyle series . I didn't care for the last couple of her Gargoyles books but the first 3 were good and the fourth was decent.

Jacqueline Frank has a Nightwalker series, first book is Jacob.

Jane Cousins has Southern Sanctuary which is great in terms of kick ass heroines.

I don't really consider it PNR, more UF but Kate Daniels, , series by definitely has an element of humor mixed in though not one of the first categories for certain. One of my LOL funniest scenes is from her 7th boook, Magic Breaks Also UF and humorous but not humor is , the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne. The dog Oberon is very funny though the series is not to everyone's taste.

I think paranormal with humor is my favorite genre, whether fantasy, scifi, UF.

There is Sandman Slim, which is dark but definitely humorous, dark humor. I was laughing literally out loud and thinking that I really shouldn't be laughing at that. I never went to the 2nd book because it was just a little too dark for my tastes but if you like UF (not PNR) and a little dark, it would be for you. I may some day try the second on for size as tastes change.
