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).
One secret kiss under the mistletoe can never lead to happily ever after…right?
Once upon a time, Nora shared the hottest kiss ever—followed by an equally steamy Christmas—with her boss’s super-sexy brother. Then he ghosted her. That was eight years ago. Now, she’s completely over it. And when he shows up at the annual holiday party, she will not let herself repeat past mistakes. This time, she’ll stay far away from the mistletoe…
Ashton doesn’t lose control. Ever. Well, except for that one time. His focus has always been on completing his residency and fellowship programs. But seeing the gorgeous redhead again makes him think that losing a little control, just once more, might be just what the doctor ordered…
Will the magic of the season—with an assist from a certain mischievous matchmaker—convince Nora and Ashton to take a second chance on love? It might just take a Christmas miracle…
Batteries Not Included: Be aware, this holiday novella includes oh, so fun sexy times, naughty language, and loads of holiday spirit. Intended for mature audiences.
Misplaces Mistletoe is a fun, steamy, uplifting holiday novella that delivers a joyous happily ever after. It is a part of the West Side Series, but it is a standalone romance, and all of the books in the series can be read in any order.
Sometimes what seems most fragile, can’t be broken.
I was never supposed to meet Poe Halliday. And we definitely weren’t supposed to fall in love. But fate, and Folkestone, had other plans.
A past kept hidden from me.
A secret buried for years.
A love I never expected.
And now the dark history of this town threatens to rip us apart.
I knew this was a mistake.
♥Fragile Things is the debut novel from Samantha Lovelock, and the first book in the suspense-filled Folkestone Sins series. As it is part of an ongoing series, this book does end on a cliffhanger.

An abandoned baby plays matchmaker in this heartwarming holiday story in the Jewell Cove series.
When Charlie and Dave discover an abandoned baby in the church manger, their first date takes an unconventional turn. Before Charlie can say “Baby Jesus,” she finds herself providing foster care for the newborn while still tending to her medical practice. Ex-SEAL Dave Ricker is used to adjusting on the fly and turns out to be a surprising help. That is, until she learns that he has an ex and a young daughter in a nearby city. Clearly there are hidden depths to the hunky shipbuilder…
Dave feels himself falling for Charlie, but she wants promises he can’t make, security he can’t offer. He’s already failed as a husband and father once. When the baby’s birth mother is located, Charlie’s world falls apart. Dave gives her comfort, but can he offer her forever in time for a perfect Christmas?
Nothing ruins a lovely house party like bloody murder.
At the decrepit old age of six-and-twenty, Miss Beatrice Hyde-Clare has virtually no hope of landing a husband. An orphan living off her relatives' charity, her job is to sit with her needlework and to keep her thoughts to herself.
When Bea receives an invitation to an elegant country party, she intends to do just that. Not even the presence of the aggravatingly handsome Duke of Kesgrave could lead this young lady to scandal. True, she might wish to pour her bowl of turtle soup on his aristocratic head - however, she would never actually do it. But a lady can fantasize.
But, when she stumbles upon the dead body of another houseguest, all Bea's good intentions fly out the well-appointed window. Although the magistrate declares it a suicide, she knows better.
Time for some very unladylike behavior.

I’m happy with a no-strings-attached lifestyle,
Until Brianna shows up at the ranch.
Taking the trauma victims on hikes helps them open up and relax.
Too bad I’m way more interested in getting Brianna to open up to me than I should be.

We know how to satisfy a woman.
Make her toes curl.
Make her eyes roll to the back of her head.
She can’t take her hands off us.

I cannot be attracted to a man like that.
Yet here we are, in an entangled mess.
That keeps getting more and more confusing.
And now I can’t run away.
I’m keeping a secret.
He’s going to find out.
Will he want this child as much as I do?

Despite spilled blood and broken bones, from the ashes Blood Fury will once again rise.
Trip, son of the former president of the Blood Fury MC, is determined to resurrect his dead father's destroyed club. It’ll be a long, difficult road as the new president attempts to rebuild the club from the cold ashes left behind.
Bad blood and bitter memories are only some of the obstacles Trip has to overcome. The local police department, Manning Grove PD, is another, since they don’t want to see their small town once again overrun by outlaw bikers.
Then there’s Stella, a local bar owner and a major distraction Trip doesn’t need, but can’t resist, even though she gives him every reason to. She’s tough, she’s broken, and the last thing she wants in her life is a man like him.
In the end, Trip has to decide if the war is worth fighting. And if Stella is the warrior he needs battling by his side.
Blood & Bones: Trip is the first book in the Blood Fury MC series. As always, this book has no cheating, no cliffhanger and has an HEA. While it’s recommended to read my Brothers in Blue series first, it’s not necessary.

FBI Special Agent Seb Rikare is an ancient vampire hardened by loss. He’s cut all emotions to protect himself and leads a deliberately steady, almost sterile life. The brash young woman forced to pose as his lover irritates him, with her jangling bracelets and colorful hair.

Until the night her engagement-party ends in utter disaster, and Ella runs for the forest — and straight into the powerful arms of a hulking, deadly orc.
And it’s not just any orc. It’s Natt. The orc Ella made a secret, foolish pledge to, many years past…
He’s huge and shameless and vicious, not at all the gangly, laughing daredevil Ella remembers. And he’s here with one shocking, scandalous aim: to wreak vengeance on Ella’s betrothed. With her.
With her hunger.
Her surrender.
Her undoing...
Ella knows she should run, even if this deadly enemy was once a friend. Even if his scent drags up a dark, forbidden longing. Even if his kisses are the sweetest, filthiest thing she’s ever tasted in her life…
But will Ella truly risk her perfect future, for an orc? Will she face the bitter truths of the past, and brave the terrifying Orc Mountain, before more war rises to destroy them all?

Faking it never felt so real in this falling-for-his-best-friend's-sister romance...
Nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner’s recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who’s dead set on winning more than a date with me at the charity auction.
Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.
She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she’s my girlfriend.
Then my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while he's negotiating my contract.
What happens next when faking it starts to feel all too real?
