I just wanted to ask if someone, somewhere was even aware that but for a change in the tone of the piece and a few edits here and there, it could've been the most brilliant satire ever and a scathing, hilarious commentary on the genre.

Heh. I tend to feel the same way about the Twilight series.

I don't think I've read any paranormal romances lately that I'd rec. But Alaya Johnson is publishing a sequel to Moonshine next April; it's called Wicked City.

Have you read Gail Carriger's parasol protectorate series? Those are more steampunk than paranormal, though (and the ending of the second book leaves something to be desired).
