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).

Breaching His Defenses (Love Hack Book 1)

by Allyson Lindt

What happens in Vegas...could destroy careers and break hearts.

Years ago, heartbreak corrupted Jared Tippins’s outlook on love. He spun the betrayal into a rapid climb up the corporate ladder, and swore off any relationship with a morning after. Luckily, the playful siren who rescues him from singing a duet alone in a karaoke bar doesn’t want anything long term. If only he could stop fantasizing about ways to make her moan. Sure, she could’ve mentioned he works for the competition. At least she’s not behind the security concerns that have plagued his company for almost six months.

If she were, he’d be screwed on a whole new level.

Mikki Elford is determined to have the fun she missed out on when she fast-tracked her way through college. But school had its upside, too. She’s qualified to legally hack corporate networks. Best job ever. She also gained an appreciation for the legends in computing — Gates, Jobs, and Tippins. When she meets Jared Tippins and realizes he’s sexy and fluent in programming languages older than she is, no consequence will dissuade her from an impromptu fling. Fortunately, he doesn’t mind that six months ago she compromised his network to land her job.

Oh, crap! He doesn't know.

by Roz Marshall

Working for White Cairns Ski School in Scotland, he's found the love of his life - but she has him placed firmly in the 'friend zone' and it's easier to make her laugh than risk telling her how he really feels.

Debbie McNeill knows that if she can just pass her instructor exams and lose a few extra pounds of weight, she's bound to meet her tall, dark and handsome Mr Right - just like in the romance novels she loves to read. But so far, life hasn't emulated fiction and her love-life has been a non-starter.

When a competition gives Callum the chance to shine, he's torn. He has to decide whether to run away and mend his aching heart, or stay and give love one final chance.
