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).
The Midnight Sons ~ Men as Wild and Rugged as The Last Frontier Itself
Five brothers risk their lives to rescue those caught in the death grip of the Alaska wilderness…and find their hearts in danger of falling for women as tough as the Land of the Midnight Sun.
The siren call of Alaska’s untamed wilderness, vast mountain ranges, and majestic glaciers draw thrill-seekers from around the globe. But with more unsolved missing person cases than anywhere else in the world, the Alaska Triangle has an ominous reputation. Enter the Midnight Sons, a team that risks their own lives to rescue those in peril.
Being a hero isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, though. The pay sucks, as does the fact that the team leaders have to be ready to spring into action 24/7, 365 days a year—a lifestyle not conducive to a healthy love life. Worse, while the brothers are experts in their individual fields, they each harbor inner demons and secrets that threaten to tear their family apart… and jeopardize any chance of finding the women who could complete them.
Book One: Sam’s Folly
When a bigwig fight promoter needs someone to search for his missing fiancée, he hires expert tracker Sam Belgarde and his search dogs. Sam is more than a little reluctant. His family’s company, Search and Rescue Alaska, is in financial trouble, though, so if searching for a spoiled socialite will save it, then he’s willing to break the rules—just this once.
After witnessing a murder, Nora Molina needs to get away—fast—and her best hope to escape without her passport is Alaska. A native of Argentina, Nora’s accustomed to harsh winters and high elevation, so she gets more than a little irritated when some tracker thinks she needs rescuing. Even if he is get-out sexy. And even if he’s the guy she stood up before leaving town. It’s going to be a long few days.
When an unexpected storm rolls in, Sam and Nora find themselves in each other’s arms—to keep warm. Things get a little too hot when it’s clear someone wants the two of them to stay lost—permanently.
"What's your name, sweetheart?"....
That was the first thing. I wasn't his sweetheart, and he should have already known my name. But, that was the moment I became caught in Tyler Lohan's sight. He was wonderful and complicated, and I'd spent my life trying to hate him for being the golden boy who had everything so easy. However, as with all things, Tyler wasn’t the person he appeared to be from the outside, and once I saw him – the real him – I fell, and I don’t think I ever got back up.
There would be a total of forty-seven things that sucked me into Tyler's life then forced me away. Forty-seven things that ruined me forever.
Forty-seven was never going to be enough.
There was no number great enough...
47 Things. A non-traditional standalone romance that follows a couple as they come to terms with falling love in a world they can't control, and the certainty of the inevitable.
Lucy London puts the word genius to shame. Having obtained her PhD in microbiology by the age of twenty, she's amassed a wealth of knowledge, but one subject still eludes her—people. The pendulum of passions experienced by those around her both confuses and intrigues her, so when she’s offered a grant to study emotion as a pathogen, she jumps on the opportunity.
When her attempts to come up with an actual experiment quickly drop from lackluster to nonexistent, she’s given a choice: figure out how to conduct a groundbreaking study on passion, or lose both the grant and her position at the university. Put on leave until she can crack the perfect proposal, she finds there’s only one way she can study emotions: by experiencing them herself.
Enter Jensen Walker, Lucy's neighbor and the one person on the planet she finds strangely and maddeningly appealing. Jensen's life is the stuff of campus legend, messy, emotional, complicated—in short, the perfect starting point for Lucy's study. When her tenaciousness wears him down and he consents to help her, sparks fly. To her surprise, Lucy finds herself battling with her own emotions, as foreign as they are intense. With the clock ticking on her deadline, Lucy must decide what's more important: analyzing her passions...or giving in to them?

Ruby:
My name is Ruby Kent, and I'm homeless, a virgin, and terrified when I'm kidnapped by human traffickers and put up for sale on the auction block. I'm for sale to the highest bidder, and I have no idea what my future will be, but I know it's not going to be good.
I'm waiting for a chance to escape, and that opportunity finally comes after I'm bought and paid for.
Unfortunately, I have no idea that Jett Lawson has been sent to rescue me, not hurt me, and even after we're both injured during my desperate attempt to run away, he still wants to take care of me.
Problem is, I have no idea how to trust anyone, or let anybody help me. I've always been alone. It's safer that way.
Jett Lawson is a mystery to me, an enigma that just gets more complicated with every nice thing he does for me.
Is it possible for a woman like me to find happiness with a billionaire?
Probably not, but the more I get to know Jett, the harder is is to resist the lure of having a safe place to be, and a man like no other.
Jett is scarred just like me, but his wounds are all on the outside.
Mine are carved all over my soul.
Can two wounded people help each other heal, or will our profound differences tear us apart?

Dear Mr. Arrogant Jerk,
You claim I stole your parking space, but that’s because you’re a smug, full-of-yourself, patronizing bonehead.
You think you’re entitled to everything you see.
Newsflash: You’re not.
As such, you can stop staring at my a**.
Sincerely,
The girl whose day you just ruined.
That’s the letter I wish I slipped under that numbskull’s windshield wiper…
… Until I show up for my first day at my dream job, and find out Mr. Arrogant Jerk is my new boss.
Wonderful. Fantastic. Typical.
The worst part?
Martin Henderson, a.k.a. Mr. Arrogant Jerk, is devastatingly handsome.
Sinful. Brooding.
Too attractive for his own good... or mine.
One thing is certain: I’m about to be in big, arrogant-jerk-induced trouble.
Getting fired sucks.
Getting propositioned by some arrogant, self-important billionaire three seconds after getting fired?
That really sucks.
No, thank you.
I have plans with a good friend called Chardonnay, and I expect those plans to keep me occupied all evening.
One thing I don’t expect?
For Liam Maguire, the billionaire, ex-olympian that I just rejected, to offer me a job.
Not just any job. My dream job.
The only downside is that I have to spend my days working with him.
Feeling his tantalizing gaze sweep over my body.
Wondering why my thighs squeeze together whenever he’s near.
Fantasizing about all the things that I rejected when we first met.
Well, all my fantasies are about to come true…
...and that could turn my dream job into a nightmare.
As it turns out, there's a lot more to Liam than meets the eye.
Adrian Maguire is a scumbag. Scourge of the earth. A dirty, corrupt, unscrupulous politician.
He’s the man who tried to ruin my sister’s life.
Hate, hate, hate.
You know what I despise more than Adrian?
The fact that I have no choice but to take his case. Otherwise, I’ll lose my job.
I didn’t spend years in law school to defend people like him.
So, when he strolls into my office, I’m not prepared for his presence to suck the air out of my lungs.
When his touch sends sparks flying across my skin, not ready for my heart to skip a beat.
My traitorous body burns for him, even though my mind screams at me to stop.
But I can’t.
I see another side of Adrian that he’s hidden away from everyone—even himself.
The more time I spend with him, the more I realise I was wrong.
Wrong to judge him, wrong to hate him, wrong to push him away.
But when secrets are exposed, there’s more than just my career on the line.
Adrian could destroy everything...including my fragile heart.
Love/Hate is a sizzling-hot enemies to lovers collection. Swoonworthy, heart-wrenching, and an absolute must-read bundle.
