I can name the authors on one hand that write lighthearted paranormals
  1. Lynsay Sands
  2. Molly Harper
  3. Ashlyn Chase
  4. Jessica Sims
  5. Sandra Hill

These sorta fall into the category but not quite.

Vicki Lewis Thompson: Her werewolves series contains humor and would be somewhat on the lighthearted side.
Shelly Laurenston: her books contain humor but she can be a bit too sexy and not lighthearted enough.
Erin McCarthy: She has a vampire series but she doesn't write for the genre.

We need more of these types of books. Authors can have fun with the supernatural, it doesn't need to be dark and serious all the time.
I read Argeneaus's books and I'm liking a lot Jessica Simm's books. Molly Harper not much and Sandra Hill not at all. I like Thompson's werewolves and Shelly Laurenston (not G.A. Aiken) is an autobuy for me, and one of the few authors I can reread her books a lot.

And I agree with fun.
