If you're like me, you love paranormal romance, but often get a little weary of all the gloom and doom. Let's face it. Books about vampires and fae and shape shifters can get a wee bit dark. (Or they can get a wee bit...menage-y, if you get my meaning. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But that's a WHOLE other list). So, if you're looking for a few reads that have plenty of laughs mingled in with all the usual supernatural yummy goodness, here are our picks for the top laugh-until-you-pee-your-pants romances. Don't read them in public, folks. Snort-laughs aren't attractive.
(And please note: These are all multi-book series, which is basically the literary version of the Holy Grail for all you book lovers out there. You're welcome.)
Fighting vampires, making immortal enemies, engaging in semi-sadistic interrogation techniques, staging daring rescues...it's all in a day's work for this paranormal odd couple. But falling in love? Well...that's a little trickier. Even for the Semi-Charmed Harper Hall.
She's forced to forgo her favorite down-home Southern cooking for bags of O negative. Her relationship with her sexy, mercurial vampire sire keeps running hot and cold. And if all that wasn't enough, it looks like someone in Half Moon Hollow is trying to frame her for a series of vampire murders. What's a nice undead girl to do?
But here I am, trying to wrap my head around what has happened to some missing Weres without wrapping my body around Hank. I hope I don’t have to eat my words and my paw.
Little does he realize, Fate is sending him his mate first! He meets his destined mate Meryn Evans and things go downhill from there. She is the embodiment of chaos. In the first twenty-four hours she kicks, screams and knocks her bear shifting mate unconscious.
Eventually they discover that life before finding each other may have been good, but life afterwards is perfect, even if it involves super soaker battles and accidentally discharging hand grenades. Unfortunately the joy of their mating is overshadowed when Aiden and Meryn find themselves embroiled in a missing persons case assigned to Aiden by the Lycaonian Council. By assisting Aiden, Meryn finds herself the focus of a demented killer. Can Aiden and the elite warriors from the Alpha Unit keep Meryn safe? Or did Fate bring her to Lycaonia to die?
Hadleigh will do anything she has to in order to avoid Alma’s matchmaking manoeuvres even if that means signing on as the newest member of the hit reality TV show ‘Paranormal Exterminators.’
Vaughn, Captain of the Goddess Maat’s elite warriors has a mission, to find and annihilate any and all magical beings that threaten to tilt the scales of justice into chaos. A paranormal reality TV show provides the perfect cover. But there’s trouble on set. Their only female cast member has gone missing and they need a replacement fast. Enter Hadleigh Valhalla, the most luscious thing on two legs he’s seen in a century. From the moment he sets eyes on her he’s determined to make her his. There’s only one problem, Hadleigh insists she has a strict no dating policy. Claiming she’d rather be fighting than flirting. A series of mishaps means it’s a race against time for Vaughn and Hadleigh to discover just who is targeting the show and stop them before someone gets seriously hurt or dead. While doing so Vaughn intends to teach Hadleigh to break all the rules and prove to her she is just as much woman as she is warrior. His warrior. His woman.

I think Robyn Peterman's Fashionably Dead Series should be on here. It's the funniest series I've ever read and I've read it so many times I've lost count.
