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).

They’re not star-crossed—they’re impossible.


Bought and soon-to-be delivered, Emma Sorrento will be the next wife of a New York Don decades her senior. Not by choice, but as a mafia princess—was there ever one?

But the soul-black eyes of the man tasked with ensuring her safe arrival to the wedding of her nightmares tempts her like no other. In the worst possible way.

Calisto Donati. He’s entirely forbidden. The nephew of the man she’s supposed to marry. And just a touch from him could get her killed.

Is it worth it?

Now Emma has two problems. Saving herself from a marriage to a man she doesn’t want, and not falling in love with the one she does.

Her plans to focus on school hit a bit of a snag when she meets bad-boy Drake Bennett and he sets his sights on making her his own.

Edge of Eighteen: A Slow Burn Summer Camp Love Story

by Melinda Hazen


At first, Devin was just an innocent summer crush. But then my feelings for him began to deepen. And I realized he was showing interest in me, too. Except Devin isn’t allowed to like me.

My best friend Lauren and I were away at Camp Pines by the Lake before starting college in the fall.

It was exciting when I met Luke on day one, and he was definitely into me. Camp last year wasn’t enjoyable. So, spending the summer with Luke seemed like it could be fun.

Then just like that, who I wanted changed.

You know that moment when you see a guy’s face for the first time and he’s just so beautiful that it takes your breath away? Or what about when your fingers brush against each other’s and you feel tingles? That was all happening to me every time I saw the guy with the longish surfer hair and crystal blue eyes. His name tag finally revealed his name: Devin.

I managed to get some intriguing information about Devin from my cabin counselor. After that, all I’d hoped for were some chances to be around him—so he might get to know me.

It was completely unexpected, yet thrilling, when we got to talk during a terrible rainstorm that’d left us completely alone together. I ended up sharing my feelings about being an adoptee and wanting to find my birth mom. And eventually, I learned of his own troubled past.

The problem is now I like Devin more than I should. And an even bigger issue is that my birthday isn’t until the end of July, which means I’m still seventeen.

*** Edge of Eighteen is a standalone New Adult/YA contemporary romance novel. It is recommended for ages 17+ ***

Darcy Does Dallas (Poor Little Billionaires Book 3)

by Andrea Dalling


Does a spark still burn beneath the ashes?

CEO Will Darcy is in Dallas to close a merger, not to rekindle an old flame. Yet one glance at Geo, his childhood friend and ex-lover, turns Will's orderly world into chaos. The buried pain of regret rushes to the surface, and his whole body screams mine. Never mind that Geo broke his heart ten years ago. Looking into that Caribbean blue gaze, Will can't escape the old passion when they're together.

Corporate lawyer Geo has no idea of the secret merger planned between his company and Pemberley Industries. Not until a last-minute reassignment brings Geo onto the transition team. Without warning, he's in face-to-face negotiations with the only man he ever loved. Forgiveness is impossible after what he did a decade ago. But he still aches for the broad-shouldered CEO with the soulful dark eyes.

Desire in the boardroom soon leads to the bedroom. Is it just a fling? Or can Geo prove he's a better man, and gain Will's trust for good?

Will and Geo steam up the pages of this gay Pride and Prejudice variation. This story of forgiveness and redemption will warm your heart.

by April Murdock


Chad Bolton is the son his mother is counting on. The one who has to do it all. But he’s a rancher at heart. A cowboy. Spending his days in a corporate office isn’t for him. In fact, the thought that most every day will be spent indoors is depressing.


Annie Shipley has worked hard for her credentials. She knows how a ranch should be run – because of her education and her experience. Getting a job at Bolton Farms is the break she hopes will point her career in the upward direction she’s been planning.

When she makes a bold and unsolicited suggestion that brings laughter from the strong male personalities in the board room, she’s sure she’ll be fired. Walking out of the room and away from the decidedly handsome CEO, she wants to melt into the floor. Easy come, easy go.

But just as she’s putting the embarrassment behind her, Annie gets a proposal she never expected.

It’s inappropriate for her heart to race when her boss is near no matter how drop dead gorgeous he is. Isn’t it?

Then a picture in a magazine draws me in.
It’s him. My Tommy. He’s living and thriving in paradise.
What if he still hates me? Or worse – what if he’s forgotten me?
As sick as the thought makes me, I know I have to go.

I check into a seedy motel, I get a job at his pub, I try to pretend like we can be just friends.
Have I gone crazy in the middle of all my madness?
We find some semblance of happiness together once again,
But I know it can’t last. Not when a man shows up looking for me.
I won’t put Tommy in danger. I’d rather break his heart all over again.
But when I try to run again, everything goes wrong, and Tommy is the only one who can save me.

Will he find me in time, or have we said our final goodbye?
