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).

by Imani King

One look and I can tell city-girl Tia Kinsley has no business in River Bend, Montana. First, she tries to pet my fearsome prize stallion. Next, she manages to let half my cattle out of the pasture, right onto a busy road.

Why? To help a stray calf get back to his momma.

Two brutal tours in Iraq filled my heart with darkness. Combat changed me. When I left the Marines I moved to out west to build fences – around my property and my heart. I wrote new rules – no relationships, no complications – and I stuck to them.

Until her.

She's a fish out of water, the girl who thinks it's just fine to wear five-inch heels to a hoe-down. Sure, she looks like sin in those heels – but she's everything I don't need.

It takes a chance encounter outside a bar on a summer night to see something familiar in her eyes. Hurt. I know that look. I've seen that pain before, staring back at me in the mirror.

Tia thinks she wants to know the 'real' me, but she doesn't know what that means...

A novel about small towns, second chances and finding love when you least expect it.

The Cowboy's Baby is a full-length, standalone 70k novel with NO CHEATING, NO CLIFFHANGERS and a sweet, steamy HEA guaranteed! 18+

Grant Markus. My ex- boyfriend. My new boss.
Arrogant. Vengeful. Impossible.
Man Candy.
I hate him.
At least that's what I tell myself.


When Grant hires me to run his adult-themed candy store, I hardly recognize him.
He used to be the class nerd.
I broke up with him for the star quarterback.

Now Grant's got more muscles than The Rock and more money than Christian Grey.
Just looking at his ripped body gives me a toothache.
And staring into his piercing eyes gives me a sugar overload.

I know he wants to punish me for what I did to him.
He orders me around and makes me work late.
Makes me sit on his knee behind his desk and moan, "yes, Boss."

But there's no way he's gonna turn me on.
Or make me beg for his forgiveness.
Even if he is man candy.

So why the hell am I loving his punishment?

This Billionaire Boss Second Chance Romance is a full stand-alone novel, guaranteed to leave you with a sugar rush.

As a special bonus for your enjoyment, I've also included some of my best-sellers - a billionaire collection, including Big Bad Cowboy, Big Bad Royal and Big Bad Fake Groom - a sneak peak of The Baby Maker, and some really steamy billionaire boss romances.

The Jolie Blonde Series Vol 1-3: A Louisiana Trilogy

by M.A. Harper

 

It’s THE NOTEBOOK meets GHOST in this timeless tale of a once-in-a-lifetime love…

The complete heart-stopping literary romance in three volumes.

Is it really possible to know your soulmate at sixteen? If you were sixteen in 1966, it would be impossible to foresee the next score of years: sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll, the Vietnam War, tragedy … parenthood. From that first Labor Day in sultry Bayou Bois Sec when the boy who worked at the marina wrote their fates on a receipt: I'M GOING TO MARRY YOU, 16-year-old Michelle and Adrien’s lives will never be the same—and will be the richer, the more passionate, the more fully lived for it.

This isn't your typical romance, but it could be the romance! The one you've been waiting for, that takes you for a wild ride on both sides of the veil. Yes! A romance that transcends death.

And along with big, heartstopping, meant-to-be romance, there's a little something of everything else that pleases: the New Orleans music scene, paranormal and metaphysical elements, vibrant period drama, even a taste of action-adventure on the bayou. M.A. Harper’s compelling prose is both lyrical and piercing, each beautifully written novel rich in in-depth characterization and atmospheric setting.

THE GIRL WHO DANCED AT THE COME ON INN - Book One

Michelle is the only daughter of a wealthy Texas oil tycoon. Adrien Paul (A.P.) is a poor Cajun boy who helps his family get by working at a Bayou Bois Sec bait shop and playing guitar in local haunts several nights a week. They couldn’t come from more different worlds, but it doesn’t matter. Because The Girl Who … begins with every girl’s (and every woman’s) ultimate romantic fantasy—meeting the man of your dreams and realizing it, in one head-spinning moment, when both white-hot passion and everlasting love are ignited in a millisecond. Equally in both of you.

From their first spin around the dance floor at the Come On Inn, when A.P. sings close to Michelle’s ear “Mickey, you caught my eye / And that’s the reason why / You gotta / Help me, Mickey / Help me get her out of my heart…” to the family drama and sheer tragedy that separates them, theirs is much more than the story of a couple of love-stricken teenagers. It’s the real thing.

FIRE ON THE BAYOU - Book Two

Cajun musician A.P. (Adrien) Savoie gets a second chance when the love of his life, his ex-wife Michelle, shows up in New Orleans unexpectedly, mostly to give him hell. It’s not long before Michelle once again falls under the dazzling spell of New Orleans and its music, and gradually, just a little bit at a time…the charismatic Adrien himself. Can they make a new beginning?

We're not going to lie: this is no formula romance. But it's such a good love story it'll give you goose bumps.

LOVE AFTER DEATH - Book Three

The scene’s shifted dramatically—now it's a triangle, but not the usual kind. Award-winning chef Phil Randazzo, and his anthropologist wife, Michelle, are as happy as any newlyweds with five kids and a ton of history. But something’s eerily amiss.

Michelle’s younger child has an imaginary playmate, “Casper”, who seems responsible for all sorts of unexplained mischief. And nothing explains that dude Phil saw upstairs who looked exactly like Michelle’s dead husband, Cajun musician A.P. Savoie.

Definitely not your average paranormal romance. This is a funny, warm, feel-good tale with enough literary heft and humor to stick to the ribs.

Who will like it: Fans of Nicholas Sparks, especially The Notebook, John Green’s The Fault in our Stars, Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife, the timeless movie Ghost; Alice Hoffman fans will love this series!

Ian Seville

I want to ruin him. Destroy his life.
I want to take away everything that he owns and loves.

There was something about her.

When Ellie May told she was a virgin my mouth absolutely dropped.
Who knew a virgin can have such a dirty mind?

I didn’t expect Ellie May to drive me crazy with her dirty thoughts behind those innocent virgin eyes.
I didn’t expect to feel something for her.
My perfect plan to get my revenge on Ellie May’s father isn’t going to be as easy as I thought it would be…

Compromising Positions

by Jenna Bayley-Burke

When CEO David Strong is strong-armed into demonstrating Kama Sutra yoga poses for a couples class—which is as awkward as it sounds—he’s put in one compromising position after another. On top of that, the co-instructor gets him all worked up, and she’s totally off-limits. At least she should be.

Sophie DelFino has fantasized about David for over a decade. If only he weren’t so uptight and didn’t have so many rules. Of course, all those rules sure make it fun to push his buttons. And if she can get him bent out of shape enough; maybe he’ll give in to the temptation of whatever’s sparking between them.

Luckily for both of them, high school graduation is just around the corner.

Their childhood friendship blossoms in to something more as they deal with their insane families, but as graduation approaches, so does life in the real world, forcing Josie and Mitchell to figure out what, exactly, their relationship is – and if it can survive their very different plans for the future.
