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).
"A delightful read ... a laugh out loud book ... part mystery, part chic lit, part suspense, part romance ... funny, sweet, and very engaging." (A Splendid Messy Life)
Allie Parker's had enough. Just because she's a dog groomer, her overachieving family of doctors and lawyers treats her like a child. She's convinced that a successful husband is all she needs to change their attitudes.
So when she and her friends come up with a brilliant new way to meet eligible men, Allie squeezes into her sister's stylish clothes and sneaks into continental breakfast at an upscale hotel to find herself the perfect guy. Before Allie has taken her last bite of syrup-laden waffle, she's met the man of her dreams. But what she doesn't know is that he's a jewel thief who mistakenly thinks she's his contact--and so does everyone else who's after his stash of diamonds.
Suddenly Allie's world is crazily upended. And as she scrambles to prove her innocence and get back to her old life, she discovers happily ever after sneaks up when you least expect it.
Just one month, right?
What harm could this possibly do?
I am supposed to live with Gage for some time, and he's supposed to protect me.
What he doesn't know is that I am falling for him.
I have dreamed of his muscular body, those perfect abs and that package...I am sure, it's HUGE!
I know he wants me too.
Why else would his eyes trail my curves, stopping at every hill and mountain?
I can tell by the way he looks at me.
Alright, wanting him at this time is bad news.
Carrying his baby, even worse!
And age difference isn't the only thing we need to overcome.
Did I mention he's the hottest single dad around...and experienced too...and he's my dad's best friend?
Dad's going to kill us if he finds out.
The affair can be a secret, sure.
But the gift I have planned for Gage this Christmas?
This is a 70k words Christmas novel with loads of heat, guaranteed HEA and absolutely no cliffhanger. Includes bonus content.
It is a well-known fact that a single man without a penny to his name must be in want of a rich wife.
Darcy, Bingham and Wick Austen are about to lose the family business.
Without a miracle or a substantial cash investment, Austen's—the bookstore chain that was established by their great-great-grandfather—will go into receivership.
A chance encounter at a charity ball with the attractive, single and filthy-rich Bennet sisters has Wick Austen convincing his brothers that the way to save their livelihoods rests at the Bennet's red-soled-shoe clad feet.
But these three women are far more than your average, simpering, society-loving heiresses.
Darcy isn't so sure about his youngest brother's plan, especially when the smart, feisty and ridiculously sexy Eliza Bennet shoots down his advances in a ball of flames, and accuses him of being a proud and egotistical jerk.
Meanwhile, Bingham meets the sweet and approachable Jane, and insta-love ensues, and Wick gets used up and spat out by the youngest and most flighty sister, Lydia.
Will the Austen bachelors secure a wife and save the family name or will they become the Bennet sister's latest conquests?
*Inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, The Bachelors is a contemporary twist with added naughtiness*

Will Antonio have to work hard to make Daniella believe he's the man destined to sweep her off of her feet? Or will Daniella's bad luck with men make her continue to doubt fairytale romances truly exist?

Series description:
His to Take:
Brooklyn:
Adrian was my first love.
The boy I'd always compared all the others to.
But now he's a man and he's holding me captive.
I'd heard the stories for years but I didn't believe them.
My Adrian couldn't have done the things they say he did to all the other girls.
But now that I'm with him I see that it's true.
I know he's a monster ... and I'm terrified of him.
But I'm also terrified of the feelings I still have for him ... and what those feelings mean about me.
Adrian:
Brooklyn was the only one who ever saw my true self.
But that was seven years ago ... and it might as well have been a dream.
I had to leave her behind. It was the only way I could protect her from the truth about my family and our business.
But now a debt must be paid and she's been brought here.
And my father has ordered me to break her ... to ruin her.
If I follow his orders it will destroy me.
But if I don't ... my father will.
His to Keep:
Adrian:
I thought I was doing the right thing.
I got her away from him ...
the man my father sold Brooklyn to.
But now I'm afraid I can't keep her safe.
From them ... or from myself ...
Brooklyn:
I want everything Adrian does to me.
Even though he doesn't understand it.
Even though he believes he's hurting me.
I want it and I want him.
But I'm scared for my life and I'm scared for us ...
now that I know we share the same father.
Can Brooklyn and Adrian both escape from their own pasts, and the secrets that threaten to ruin everything between them?
Can they escape from the men who will stop at nothing to take her away from him and to the man who now owns her?

Held captive by a sadistic member of the mafia, Brooklyn doesn't see any way out other than to take her own life. Will Adrian reach her in time to save her from a fate worse than death at the hands of the man who believes he now owns her?

I can't live without her …
and I won't give up knowing Brooklyn needs me to save her.
My only hope is to find the Russian mobster that took her away from me …
and kill him.
If I don't, both of our lives are over.
Brooklyn:
There's no way Adrian will ever find me in this place.
