Steampunk and Gaslight Romances - Some with a Touch of the Paranormal

A Listmania! list by melindeeloo (sb,ca)
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The list author says: "I was so awed by Meljean Brook's Iron Duke and her alternate Victorian London steampunk world that I went looking for more in this genre, and asked for recommendations on the Paranormal Romance Forum (it's where I virtually hang out on Amazon:) - thanks to Shannon C., Dana S., Amy Lane, N.R Boremeo, S Youmans, N Lee, Magdelen77, Kari, Zeek and everyone else who's posted since.

Here's the link to that thread
http://www.amazon.com/tag/paranormal%20romance/forum/ref=cm_cd_tfp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx2BDELE76KKFOT&cdThread=Tx3DKOHQBEPJRPW&displayType=tagsDetail

Some of these are also from Meljean Brook's Steampunk week on her blog

I thought I'd keep track of the suggestion here - for my shopping convenience (and yours) - Some of these I've added purely based on the title so I can't vouch for sensuality level (personally I tend to prefer steamy by not true erotica) and from the ones I've read so far it looks like erotic romance writers (I am guessing due to the quicker turnaround at small publishing houses) are leading the pack in this new twist on the genre so be forewarned.

And there was an additional forum thread rec for Wicked Gentlemen which I didn't include, because I am not a MM fan, but if it's your cuppa tea, several people really liked it.

One last note, most all of these have Kindle incarnations too."
