There are a fair number of historical PNRs out there, it just depends on how much paranormal you enjoy.

I always recommend Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series (the books are Soulless, Changeless, Blameless, Heartless, Timeless). The first book goes on sale occasionally, and the bundle of all 5 is only $20 at Amazon. It's a Victorian comedy of manners with vamps, werewolves, and steampunk element and I found it to be laugh out loud funny.

I also enjoyed The Relics of Merlin series by Kathryne Kennedy. I think it starts with Enchanting the Lady. It reimagines Victorian society with rank based on how strong your magic is.

Mary Robinette Kowal writes a series that I've heard described as Austen-like, only with magic. I've been wanting to try it, but haven't gotten around to it. Shades of Milk and Honey

Finally, Lydia Dare writes a werewolf series in Regency England (she has a Regency vamp series also). I tried the first one and it wasn't my cuppa, but I think they are pretty popular. A bundle of the first three books is currently selling for $5.38.

There are others, but that's off the top of my head while at work.
