Well, the votes are in and the BookSwimmers have spoken. The Top Ten Cheesiest Romance Novels as nominated and voted on by you are as follows:

1. Twilight - Stephanie Meyer 30%
2. The Choice - Nicholas Sparks 23%
3. Confessions of a Shopaholic - Sophie Kinsella 17%
4. The Harlequin - Laurell K. Hamilton 10%
4. Rogue - Danielle Steel 10%
6. Change of Heart - Jodi Picoult 3%
6. Disturbance of the Inner Ear - Joyce Hackett 3%
6. Collateral Damage - Fern Michaels 3%
9. Shelter Mountain - Robyn Carr 0%
9. Devil May Cry - Sherrilyn Kenyon 0%

Some are surprising and others relatively expected, but our dear sweet Sherrilyn Kenyon has been vindicated since none but the nominator found her books to be “cheesy”. Stephanie Meyer, on the other hand, has cut the cheese for sure. Perhaps if she were to come on our show, our her ratings would be a little higher.
