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).
Abby's memories are her most precious thing. Even though they're sometimes painful, she can't stop herself looking back, reliving the love of her life. Until a freak accident means that she could lose it all: every memory and experience she has ever had.
Abby can't believe it's true. She feels fine. She is fine. How could she possibly forget all those moments that make her who she is?
She's determined to fight it. With the help of her friends and family, Abby makes a list of things she's always wanted to do. She's going to save her memory by having the most unforgettable year of her life.
First on the wishlist is a trip to New York City at Christmastime. And it's amidst the magic and romance of Manhattan that true love knocks on the door ...
She'd rather die than be the center of attention...that may happen.
Becky Rivers yearns for a loving family and carves out a home as companion-nurse to an aging Texas matriarch with more opinions than horses. Bruised by years of neglectful foster care, she avoids the limelight but is forced to team up with a charismatic horse trainer in order to salvage her employer's venerable race stable. Soon she is caught between a murderer and a ruthless saboteur...and her only ally is a man she isn't sure she can trust.
Toni has no idea what she’d do without her best friend, Carter. Who else would she be able to vent to about her parents, her job at the dance studio, or her latest relationship woes? When Toni’s father lands in the hospital, Carter, as always, is there for her.
That is, until he starts questioning Toni, saying he thinks she has an eating disorder. Then she starts dating Clint, the hot new guy at the studio, and somehow that puts a deeper wedge between her and Carter. When she’s hospitalized after an on-stage collapse, and Carter stupidly starts in with advice about food and weight, she sends him away—then instantly regrets it.
Toni tries to mend the hurt between them, but instead of finding Carter, she stumbles onto proof that he has feelings for her that go way beyond those of a friend. Toni is left with the very real prospect of losing Carter forever, unless somehow she can return his feelings—but that’s impossible.
Isn’t it?
MMA fighting sensation Jans "The Dragon" will do anything to protect LeAnne... and their secret baby.
LeAnne
I was a nobody. A nobody with a junkie mom and a sh*t life. I swore I'd never be like her, I was good!
Until bad boy Jans rolled through like a storm, claiming my body with his dominating hands and my heart with his icy blue eyes. My mom finally did something right when she became Vinnie, Jans' dad's, arm candy girlfriend.
Then everything went wrong.
I know Jans didn't mean to do it. He was only trying to protect me.
Jans
Her innocence was like an addiction, I was obsessed from the moment I saw her. I couldn't get enough of her sweet lips and delicious taste.
My Capo father would kill us if he ever found out. He wanted to marry LeAnne off in some bullsh*t Family alliance but I had other plans.
It all fell apart when I f**ked it up. Bad.
Bad like a two year, federal penitentiary sentence bad.
Now I'm out and nothing will stop me from doing what I have to and exposing Vinnie's treachery to protect LeAnne.
I'm 6'2" and 220 pounds of hard, fighting muscle. I'll battle it out in the cage and score our future. All I have to do is beat every opponent the Families send at me, no limit, in one night. Impossible but I'll come out on top.

When she was nine-years-old, Katie knew she wanted Chris to give her her first kiss. It wasn’t because she was in love with him (no way, he was her best friend! Besides, she was in love with his fourteen-year-old big brother), it was because she could make him do anything she wanted.
Besides, it didn't really mean anything. It was only a kiss after all.
But then things started to change. They grew up. They parted ways and went to different high schools. And other girls and boys—well, just one particular boy—came into the picture, throwing their lives upside down.
Told from the alternating points of view of Katie and Chris, this love story between two best friends will tug at your heartstrings and leave you thinking how the simplest things can mean so much.

Noticing her distress, the handsome, wealthy-looking stranger offers her an attractive solution to her immediate needs: work for him as his personal assistant—no catch.
Ha! She doesn’t believe him, but her desperation makes her accept, and it isn’t long before she suspects he wants a whole lot more from her than getting his coffee!
She has been saving herself, but can she resist the hunk who saved her?
This is a standalone novella (no cliffhangers and a happy ending)!

We got married two years ago. I haven’t seen her since.
We met in Afghanistan. She was a soldier. I was a geek with a laptop.
I never thought I stood a chance but a few secret trysts together proved otherwise. Tragedy struck and it tore us apart but I never stopped loving her.
Now, Snake Eyes is looking for me and they sent two of their best assassins to track me down. There’s only one person I can trust to keep me safe and she hates my guts.
Caleb Fawn. My estranged wife. This should be fun.
CALEB
I don’t believe in second chances.
But this is Boxcar we’re talking about here.
We met in Afghanistan. He was a smart-ass. I was his bodyguard. I wanted to keep it professional but just one look in his eyes was enough to melt my damn panties off. It couldn’t last. Being a soldier comes with a price and I wasn’t about to let him pay it.
Now, Snake Eyes wants what he’s got and they’ll get it unless I help him.
The only problem is that the two of us can’t be in the same room together without screaming at each other or tearing our clothes off. Sometimes both.
Boxcar. My idiot husband. This should be a disaster.

She thinks he’s more than a killer. He’ll have to kill to prove her right.
Robert:
I’ve been working for Don Capelli since I was twelve. I can’t even tell you how many people I’ve killed, but lately I wonder if I’ve still got the stomach for it. Not much choice, though--a man like me doesn’t get to have a nice little wife and family to come home to.
And now there’s this chick. Emily. Cute, and sweet, and innocent--it’s her old man who has gambling debts. But I’m holding her hostage until her father pays up.
Except he’s not paying, and the Don wants to turn Emily into one of his whores.
It ain’t right -- she didn’t ask for any of this.
I gotta protect her somehow … and hope Don Capelli doesn’t find out.
Emily:
I’ve spent my life buried in books. They’ve been my closest companions, my true friends … but they didn’t prepare me for this.
I’d be scared to death except for Robert. I know he’s done awful things, but he’s not an evil man, not deep inside. And he makes me feel things that no man ever has.
He’s all I’ve got since my father abandoned me.
If we bring each other pleasure … is that so terrible?
When Robert runs away with Emily to keep her safe, it’s not long before the Don’s hitters come after them.
Can he keep them both alive--and battle his own doubts--long enough to give their newfound love a chance?
