I was poking around Amazon and came across their top picks of 2011. Their top ten list of romance books includes three Paranormal Romances and One Steampunk Romance.
According to Amazon, this isn’t based on sales, but editorial judgement:
“We scour reviews and book news for tips on what the earliest readers have loved, trade books amongst ourselves, and fan out to tear through as many of the best books as possible. Then we face off in a monthly Best Books Smackdown meeting to champion the books we think will resonate most with their readership.”
Here are the four that made it into their picks:

Archangel’s Blade (Guild Hunter)
by Nalini Singh

Dragon Bound (A Novel of the Elder Races)
by Thea Harrison

Dreams of a Dark Warrior (Immortals After Dark Series, Book 9)
by Kresley Cole

Heart of Steel (A Novel of the Iron Seas)
by Meljean Brook
I haven’t read any of them, though I had at least heard of them. I love Nalini Singh’s Psy-Chanling series so I know I will read her Guild Hunters eventually, but I haven’t purchased it yet.
Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think of them?
