Definition of "Contemporary Romance": While technically a subgenre of the Romance category, that category is much too large to not be broken down. Contemporary Romance, by definition, is set in the time in which it was written. The ebooks in this category are largely focused on the relationship and romantic love shared by two people. Typically, ebooks in this category reward characters that are good people, punish those that are bad, and end with an upbeat, positive conclusion. But, that "formula" is always being altered by excellent authors--which is why we read their ebooks, right?
Some examples of the best Contemporary Romance ebooks past and present include Nicholas Sparks (The Longest Ride), Tracy Brogan (Crazy Little Thing), Jojo Moyes (Me Before You), Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook), Lisa Kleypas (Blue-Eyed Devil).
Life might be a struggle, but I’ll never give up on my dreams.
Hardworking is my middle name, not that I have a choice.
As a single mom who helps run a multi-billion dollar advertising company and helps my ill mother, it’s just required of me.
Dating, sex, love? Not at all in the picture. I don’t have time for that.
Until Elon.
Pain in the ass frat boy pretending to be a man. And they paired the two of us up to work on the biggest project my company has ever seen.
But I discover something…
He’s not pretending at all. He’s playing a game. One I apparently am not immune to.
Every cell in my body pulses when he’s around, the passion overwhelming, the attention desired so bad it hurts.
I can't help but wonder if we’ll ever make it past our differences and get this job done or burn up in the fiery passion that consumes us both.
A mail order bride and a rock god: can they make fairy tales come true?
In the final year of her business degree, Phuong has her future all mapped out. Finish studying, then go home and save her family's business. Until her father dies and it all falls apart. Broke and jobless, she stumbles on a solution: find herself an Australian husband. Fast.
She's not looking for love - Phuong doesn't believe in fairy tales. Her marriage will be a business deal, pure and simple. But when she meets her husband-to-be and discovers he's a reclusive rock star living at Romance Island Resort, maybe it's time to believe a girl can live happily ever after.
A tiny taste of what's in store:
Idly, she clicked on one of the unread messages from some other man whose profile was a sculpted, headless torso, like something cropped from the cover of a romance novel.
Mr Six-Pack's message was short:
"I'm looking for a woman who knows all fairy tales are lies, but who still hopes one might come true."
Reflexively, Phuong clicked on his profile. Mr Six-Pack was a gym junkie, he admitted, who went by the name of Lucky Jason. He worked on a remote island, but it was lonely and he wanted to share his living accommodation with someone who could brighten the darkness at night. Or so he said. She laughed softly before clapping a hand over her mouth at the thought that she might wake Norman. His snores continued, like he was sawing down a tree with his nose in his sleep, so she breathed a sigh of relief and returned to ogling Jason's abs. Desire flooded through her for the first time in months.
She hit the reply button. "Which fairy tale did you have in mind, and which character are you? The big bad wolf, the woodcutter or Prince Charming?" Before she could think better of it, she sent the message.
The response came back almost instantly: "What would you like me to be? I can cut down everyone keeping you from me, carry you off to my castle like Prince Charming, then turn into the big bad wolf and eat you all up until you scream for joy."
"That only happens in books," she whispered to herself, then typed the words and fired them off.
Lucky Jason had an answer for that, too: "One day, some romance author will write books about us and a million lonely women will crave the sort of sex you only have to ask for."
Arrogant much? "No one's that good. What if I'm after Prince Charming, a man who loves me, listens to me and wants to take care of me, and I'm not interested in sex?"
"Prince Charming is a prick who'll smother you and turn jealous if you look at anyone else. He'll lock you in a tower and never let you out. And he wouldn't know what to do with his own c*ck, let alone your body. Prince where-do-I-put-my-prick. That's not me, babe."
"No? You don't get jealous? What do you do when your girl looks at another man?"
"Grin and wink at the guy while my arm's around her. He'll never be me and never have what I do, but that's cool. Not everyone's as awesome as me. Let me show you, babe."
Drew Liston is everything I have to avoid. Sexy, handsome…a billionaire and way out of my league.
He wanted me once, six years ago. I said yes. I let him break my heart. To be honest, I’ve never really gotten over him.
You don’t ever get over a man like Drew.
DREW:
I can’t believe it’s her after all these years.
She’s just as pretty, just as sweet. But she’s shy now. I know why. It’s because I had her once and I let her go. Because maybe, just maybe she can still remember what it felt like when we were together. I made her pant and beg and scream my name.
Now she’s afraid to let me get close. I stop in her bakery all the time, try to be her friend.
It’s not the flavor of her cakes and pies I’m there for. I miss the taste of her.
This is our second chance.
Once she lets me in again, I’m never letting her go.
I’m a man who always gets what he wants, and I’m not giving up until she’s mine, once and for all.
"A real page turner it had me hooked from the start with an intelligent plot and racy prose." ML H
I lowered myself onto the lavish, silk covered chair, swallowing tightly I peered down at my badly ironed, outmoded office-girl get-up.
How could an ordinary girl with an unnatural fondness for vintage clothes and art, find herself amongst a room of hopefuls looking more like supermodels?
The boss's name was a mystery. But judging by the opulent surroundings, he was filthy rich with impeccable, old-world tastes. The following day, my life changed, from impoverished art history graduate to someone with a charge account and company car.
And then there was my new hot boss.
Enigmatic and generous, Aidan Thornhill was insanely handsome. His liquid gaze stripped me bare right to my very soul, making my skin sizzle.
****
Even in that antiquated green cardigan and mess of black hair stacked up in a sagging bun, Clarissa Moone took my breath away. With a heart just as beautiful, Clarissa's soft, well-educated manner along with her curvaceous, classic beauty left me speechless. I broke every rule in my book.
One gaze from those large dark eyes and my body, mind, and soul stirred to the point of no return.
Is she the answer to his dreams…or the person who will be forced to destroy them?
He’s a farmer, dammit, not a bookkeeper
When Stetson Miller inherits his father’s farm in Idaho, he’s too focused on crops and yields to pay attention to the financial side of things. The next thing he knows, he’s got a stack of unpaid bills, the bank is threatening to foreclose…and the auditor who’s come to examine his accounts is the sexiest thing he’s ever laid eyes on.
But she’s a city girl, just like the last one who left him at the altar. He’ll guard his heart – but he can’t help wanting her.
She’s checking him out…in more ways than one
Jennifer Kendall doesn’t mind a tough job, but the handsome Stetson is trouble of a different kind. When he isn’t making her mad, he’s filling her head with all sorts of forbidden fantasies.
The sparks between them fly even faster when the road washes out and Jennifer has to spend the night on the farm. But passion alone won’t pay the bills. Can Jennifer find a way for Stetson to save his farm?
And if she can’t, will he ever forgive her?

How hard can it be to seduce one’s own wife?
Leopold Spencer is shocked to learn his shy and awkward wife is secretly headed to Chateau Follet, where the most wicked, wanton forms of debauchery take place.
Though he has not touched Trudie in over a year—not since their disastrous wedding night—he is not willing to be made a cuckold. Furious, he heads to Chateau Follet to retrieve her before she is in over her head.
But shortly after arriving, he discovers a unique—and provocative—opportunity to test the fidelity of his wife. Under guise, he decides what he wants to do is seduce his wife.
Commanding her submission, however, is not as easy as he expects…
An uptight accountant.
An irresistible bartender.
An attraction complicated by secrets, obligations, and broken promises.
THIS BOOK IS NOT ABOUT ADULTERY.
Ally Taylor turns out the lights of her office, catches a cab to the seamy side of town, and slides onto a barstool at Felony Bar, a notorious underground club. The bartender, Jack Jameson, slides a gin and tonic across the counter before she says a word because he already knows what she likes. His broad shoulders, tattoos, and dreamy dark eyes promise everything missing from her life. Spontaneity. Promiscuity. Adventure. When Jack nods toward a secret door, she follows. She wants to taste him, feel him, use him to forget all the pain of her broken engagement.
One-night stands are a dime a dozen at Felony Bar, but Jack’s not a kid anymore, and he’s tired of waking up in someone else’s bed. Ally’s calm and cool control fuels the animal inside him. He yearns to break that control, to get a taste of the passion lurking inside her. In spite of his playboy ways, he wants more than sex, more than temporary, more than meaningless. Can he find what he needs in Ally?
When love comes calling, they may not have a choice.
