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 prophesy that rules me.
A curse that ruins me.
A wolf shifter pack who claim I am theirs.
It wasn’t my choice to be sold to a powerful psychopath by my mother when I was a baby. It wasn’t my choice to be tortured for magic I don’t possess but on-one says no to Esoti and lives.
Except me.
There are worse things than death. Not dying for one.
In a world ruled by The Six, anyone magical is put to death, shifters are slaves and I am the lowest of the low. Until alpha wolves Alerick, Jarom and Eike capture me. The thing is, I don’t want to be anyone’s mate, or toy, or plaything.
They insist I’m anything but human, mastering my body and unleashing ancient magic hidden deep inside me.
The magic is untameable. Unpredictable. But it just might give me the one thing I’ve always dreamed about — revenge.
Magic Claimed is the first book in a dystopian romance series. This action-packed, heart-wrenching ride gives you a kickass heroine, three irresistible shifters, a steamy romance with no choosing required, and evil enemies like you've never seen it before in each book.
I fell for the boy next door, and then my father ripped it all away from us.

And then my mother calls with news from back home.
I have to head back to the small town my father forced me to leave seven years ago knowing the boy I still love will show up, too.
When I finally see him, it’s clear we have unfinished business. But it doesn’t matter. His life is in the Vegas spotlight now, where he plays pro football and goes home to his wife.
My life is in Chicago now, where I embark on a torrid affair with my colleague.
And then two little pink lines show up with the power to change everything. The first time I saw them, my world imploded.
This time will be different. It has to be.
I won’t be making the same rookie mistake again.

Shy, studious Adam Hatchard is ready to reinvent himself and be the leading man in his own life.
From day one, Carter Ellison has given Adam nothing but cocky smirks, secondhand embarrassment, and dirty underwear all over their room—the perfect storm for Most Annoying Roommate Ever.
His ridiculously toned body deserving to be the eighth wonder of the world is beside the point.
But Carter has a secret: an unconventional side hustle involving cameras and a distinct lack of clothing. When Adam stumbles upon Carter’s online alter ego, the last thing he expects to feel is…compassion.
And when Carter asks him to hold the camera? Adam discovers there’s more to his roommate than the irritating frat boy persona Carter puts on.
What begins as a way for both of them to earn extra cash develops into something more. Something involving longer-than-appropriate stares, stolen touches, midnight confessions—and the realization that Adam just may have found his own leading man.

Between trying to make ends meet as a waitress at the Bon Temps Café,
and keeping an eye on two troublesome teens,
she’s had zero time for indulgences like romance.
No worries, she hasn’t been interested in the opposite sex for a long time.
Not until she meets the snarling, growling, hotter-that-an-inferno hunk who caught her nephews trespassing on his swampland deep in the Louisiana bayou.
Too bad he’s off his rocker. Seriously.
He thinks he’s a dragon, calls her his mate, follows her home, and refuses to leave her side.

Melody Bryant has heard it all before. Sure, she's the epitome of the stereotype for a librarian. Loves order. Loves rules and deadlines. Loves books. But what she doesn't love is still being a virgin at twenty-four. Unfortunately, the only guy she's ever been interested in turned her down flat. And then left town. Eight. Years. Ago. Ugh.
Now her birthday is fast approaching and she just can't take it any longer. She's finding a guy before her birthday in five weeks or she's adopting two more cats and fully embracing becoming "the crazy cat lady."
But when her latest date ends in epic failure--everyone thinks of her as the "proper librarian," she realizes what she needs is to ruin her reputation. And she knows the perfect guy to help her: the baddest bad boy in town. This Army vet won't know what hit him...

Broch and Catriona hit Vegas for another breathtaking adventure in the delightful Kilty romantic suspense series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Amy Vansant. A crime fantasy you won't be able to put down... Ray Donovan meets Outlander meets Archer!
" Brilliant, laugh-out-loud entertainment. I love this series. And honestly, I'm not sure at this point the series could disappoint me. There are riotously funny moments throughout that had me snorting in a most unladylike fashion. Don't be fooled though. The cleverness of the plot threads and the interweaving of different genres makes this book (and series) much more than a laugh. It is addictive, fun, and intelligent. The best kind of entertainment I can ask for, really!" ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bella

Back in Hollywood, Catriona's recently returned time-traveling father, Rune, has his eyes on her adoptive father, Sean. When Sean discovers Rune possesses powers he never imagined, it’ll take an old friend to set things straight.
"I love this series!! Characters are fleshed out and the story flows. Very well written. Good dialog. I could just picture it all taking place. Catriona and Broch make a good pair. There are times when you just have to laugh. There are family members involved in this story. Catriona, her sister Fiona, their father and Catriona's adoptive father. This story has it all. There is romance, mystery, action, suspense, sadness, adventure, fear, and a little time travel." ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Reader
"I do not normally read time travel mysteries, as they can be confusing and disjointed. This series is done very well. I had no trouble following the timelines. And as all the trips back to Scotland seemed related to the present plotline, it was cohesive for me." ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Reader
"Terrific Series! I just finished reading the 4-book Kilty series and I am wanting more! I've fallen in love with Catriona and Broch and friends, and I truly hope their story isn't over! The books are well-written, and the stories are clever and captivating." ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Reader
Alison:
Dating is so not on my radar anymore. Then again, walking in on your boyfriend in bed with someone else tends to do that to a girl. It’s better this way, though. I’d much rather focus on my career than trust my heart to someone else who is just determined to break it.
Too bad I couldn’t hold onto that conviction as soon as my mysterious neighbor crashed into my life.
Tattooed, brooding biker, Logan is nothing like the men I usually date but the chemistry between us is powerful and I’m helpless against its pull.

Then, I met Alison. She took me by surprise and I know I should fight the spark I feel between us but I just can’t seem to walk away from her.
As things between us heat up, my past rears its ugly head, taunting me relentlessly and putting Alison’s life in danger. But I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and my only hope is that she will be strong enough to ride out this storm by my side.
