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).

“Ride with me."

Brock grits his teeth and tells himself that he can control his attraction to Summer's lush curves and foil her high-falutin' ideas for his homestyle diner. He's determined to come out on top when the ninety days are up. And he sure as heck isn't losing his heart to the woman who's declared that she's heading back to San Francisco soon. Right?

Comedy Romance Coming Out Story Age Difference
In this 150,000-word complete collection, Zach and Henry bare it all. You’ll get wild Los Angeles nights, the overwhelming emotional roller coaster of discovering yourself, plans gone awry, adventures, laugh-out-loud moments, and sizzling romance.
I had two things on my list when I arrived in Los Angeles. One, track down Henry Bennington, the uncle and guardian of my little brother’s best friend Tyler, and tell him to get his ass back to Washington—because his nephew was getting out of control. And two, figure out just how non-straight I was.
Nowhere on this list did it say, “Get Tyler’s uncle into bed and fall for him.”
Nowhere.
This is the complete collection of every story revolving around Zach and Henry. All 150,000 words of them, starting with the first novel, Out, continuing with the holiday sequel, Out for the Holidays, and followed by a novella previously only available to Cara’s newsletter subscribers, Out Cruising, as well as brand new content titled Out and About.
Snowball, that lovable bundle of feline fluff readers first met as a kitten in Snowball’s Christmas, is all grown up. And now that she has her forever home at a cozy B&B, she’s determined to orchestrate a forever love match, just in time for the holidays . . .
Snowball takes her job as the “official kitty” at the Victorian B&B Inn, Weber Haus, very seriously. Greeting guests and keeping tabs on them is a full-time feline job, after all. However, being nice to Daniel Aarons is not on her to-do list. The handsome construction manager almost messed up her forever family, and she isn’t about to forgive him anytime soon . . .
But then someone new arrives at Weber Haus. Her name is Sophie Heidt—and she’s the B&B’s new manager. When Snowball goes missing on Sophie’s first day, Daniel, in charge of the new hotel wing, comes to her rescue by getting the cat to do what she does best: attack him.
It doesn’t take long for Snowball’s animal instincts to reveal that Daniel and Sophie are meant to be together. Unfortunately, Daniel keeps making a mess of things. It’s going to take some special insight and holiday cheer to bring them together. But if anyone can do it, Snowball can—even if she has to tolerate turtle doves, French hens, calling birds, and other fur-raising human traditions . . .
"No big deal. We'll destroy the wedding certificate and annul the marriage."
Yes, if only everything was as simple as Mister "I make the world the way I like it" Aaron Steel thinks it is.
The billionaire CEO is used to getting what he wants.
Like me, in this case…
His new secretary, who turned him down in college several years ago.
And for good reason: This Casanova changes his women more often than people change their underwear.
Yet years later, I depend on him to pay my bills.
To be able to even bear the presence of this arrogant guy on the company trip to Vegas, I drink more tequila than I should. Much more.
And wake up in Aaron's bed the next morning - with one thing missing from my life, my innocence.
And as if that wasn’t bad, I apparently married that jerk.
Of course, we can get the marriage annulled.
But how will Aaron react to the unexpected surprise?
That I’m now carrying his baby…
It wasn’t like he’d never done this before...
Nicky Fender retired from sex work two years ago and never looked back. Then an offer he can’t refuse comes his way, and he agrees to one last exclusive arrangement. Good money and an apartment in Manhattan? He’d be a fool to turn that down.
The deal is dusk till dawn for two months. But once he meets Gideon—an older, quirky, autistic, filthy, uncertain businessman who wants to explore his sexuality—Nicky wishes sunrise would never come.

We hated each other on sight.
Couldn’t spend time in the same room without getting into a fight.
Until we find ourselves double-booked...
...in the same house over Christmas.
What’s worse there’s only one bedroom.
And a snowstorm brewing outside.
Then the electricity goes out...
Only the chemistry between us takes off.
Unable to keep our hands off each other we make a pact...
...to spend one night together.
We wouldn’t speak about it afterwards.
Not to each other, not to the world.
We’d pretend it never happened.
Except for the pink line across the test in my hand...

We’re absolutely wrong for each other. Maybe that’s why the heat between us is so sizzling hot…
But Darren’s desires run dark and wicked. Should I submit to his passions? Something tells me that if I throw caution to the wind, I could be in for a world of hurt.
If you enjoy mafia style romances with plenty of wicked heat, then get CLAIMED to steam up your reading today…

Linley Talbot-Martin is a girl who likes to get her hands dirty. As the daughter of a famous archaeologist, she's been everywhere and seen everything--except London. But when the time comes to trade her jodhpurs and work boots for silk gowns and kid gloves, she may be in over her head.
Even though she can out-ride, out-shoot, and outsmart any girl in London society, Linley is destined to be the failure of the season. No one she meets cares about ancient pottery or lost Buddhist texts, and fundraising efforts for future expeditions keep coming up short. If the Talbot-Martin team doesn't find money soon, they will be out of a job, and Linley will lose everything she holds dear.
Patrick Wolford, Marquess of Kyre (pronounced 'Keer'), is a man who knows his place. Well-connected and respected, he is everything everyone expects him to be, but beneath his façade, he is as neglected and crumbling as the family estate. Now the strain of keeping up appearances is taking its toll. The smart thing would be to marry the heiress nipping at his heels and be done with it, but when he meets Linley Talbot-Martin, who dares to shake up his seemingly proper world, he must choose between the life he's always known and one he never dared to dream of.
For me, family is everything, so I cannot fall for the enemy.
With six siblings and a failing ad agency, I’m single by choice.
I have no room in my life for men, especially not friend-of-the-family MLB pitcher Austin Callaway.
He’s probably got all sorts of ways to hit home runs. But with other women and, thankfully, not with me.
Especially since his younger sister is the girl who just cheated on my baby brother.
I thought I’d never have to talk to him again, but to save my family’s ad agency, I take one last swing and make a deal with the devil.
Austin needs me to act as his pseudo-nurse. Talk about a curveball. Why would I ever do that?
If I do, he’ll give me a deal that will save our family business, and just like that, all my problems will be solved, right?
Wrong.
Because Austin is always there. Which means Austin is always close by. Always with me. Always smiling, like he’s about to steal home base. That smile will be the end of me.
I could fall for him. Madly. Deeply. And completely.
And that alone is the reason I can’t date him. My family can never find out what play made the difference, not when his sister destroyed my brother's life.
How can I finally find happiness when hate and love are about to collide?
When Hate and Love Collide features an up-tight, but family-lovin’ heroine and the hot baseball player that’s determined to lighten up her life. Get ready for an Opposites Attract, Slow Burn, Deal-with-the-Devil, Sports Romance that has a ton of heart and a happily-forever-after that will leave you smiling and sighing and swooning all in one sitting.
No cheating. No Cliffhanger. Grab it today.
