Amazon Kindle Store: Top 100 Romance Best Sellers of 2025

My exclusive annual ranking of the U.S. Kindle Store Top 100 Best Sellers in Romance (Paid).

Now that 2025 has come to a close, it’s time for some year-end analysis.

I’ve been using my monthly ranking methodology to report the Amazon Kindle Store Top 100 Best Sellers in Romance for the past six months, so I decided to apply it to a whole year’s worth of data!

That’s right. I compiled 52 Top 100 lists pulled from the Amazon Kindle Store weekly throughout 2025.

That’s 5,200 books, which I consolidated down to 1,155 unique books to determine the top 100.

Here’s the list, along with a few superlatives and breakdowns!

Happy reading! If there’s anything else you’d like to see in this analysis, let me know in the comments!

1. Books must be assigned at least one Romance subcategory in the US Kindle Store to be included. Books may be assigned to different categories in the Kindle Store vs. Amazon Books section. It’s rather confusing, I know.
