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).

Love Technically: An Alpha Billionaire Romance (Billionaire Sweethearts Book 1)

by Rain, Nova

 

The moment I see Rosanna, my heart knows she’s the one.

Too bad life as a billionaire isn’t all its cracked up to be.

It’s no longer as easy as just being with the one I want.
Not when the media devours sensational stories.
And dating a stripper is exactly the kind of juicy scandal they salivate for.
My publicist seems dead set on putting the brakes on our relationship.
But I’ve never been one to bend to the rules.
Nothing will come between us.
Not our own hang-ups and insecurities.
Not pressure from the media.

Not even those willing to cross the line into violence…

Dating the Irish Boss

by Annie J. Rose


First mistake was falling for him.
Second mistake was sleeping with him.
Third mistake was getting pregnant...


Did I mention he was my boss too?

Falling in love wasn't part of the plan.
I was simply supposed to bartend and scope the place out.
Until I got between the sheets with the pub owner, Patrick.
My boss was wicked hot. I held out as long as I could.
But eventually we couldn’t avoid it anymore.
Our passion was explosive.
And that forbidden act changed everything.
I wasn’t supposed to end up in his bed.
Or carry his child.

I have to keep it a secret. I had to run.
Years later, my little boy needs a kidney,
And I’m not a match.
I’m forced to return to Boston and tell Patrick he has a son.
The man I loved.
The man I left.
Who has no idea he’s a daddy.
He’ll hate me.
But he’s our son’s only hope.

What if he’s my only chance, too?
What if he could forgive me and we could be together?
It may be too much to hope for, but Patrick is the love of my life.
No one else could ever take his place.
The place I’ve been saving for him all this time.

Imagine your hottest, most compatible ex-boyfriend showing up out of the blue with a sinful proposal: travel the world with him and his two gorgeous business partners... but only as their shared girlfriend.

Aiden was the one who got away. Model good looks and the chiseled build of a Greek God. I never expected more than a sizzling, late night booty call, but after he rocks my body - and maybe my whole world - I'm willing to listen to anything he says.

That is, until he proposes an agreement so wickedly unorthodox it sets off a flock of butterflies in my stomach.

My ex wants me back but with a breathtaking catch: he aims to share me with his two business partners and best friends. And yes, share me in every sense of the word...

First there's Ryker - the gorgeous, blue-eyed best friend who's been crushing on me for years. Shoulders to die for, and whole oceans of shredded abdominals I just want to drown myself in.

Then there's Marcello - the beautiful Italian Stallion. Dusk-skinned and absolutely gorgeous, with arms like bridge cables and a below-the-belt physique to match.

As the founders of the viral marketing team Living Legend, the men work hard and they play even harder. And that includes loving me, protecting me. And yes, even adapting me... as their own personal playground.

We never should've broken up -- and yet here's our second chance. It comes with three times the love, this time around. Three times the attention, affection, and reward.

Can an electrifying agreement between rekindled exes blossom into full-blown love? Or will the sabotage of bitter rivals tear a hole in paradise, and threaten to bring everything crashing down around us?

The Ex-Boyfriend Agreement is a butterfly-inducing stand-alone Reverse Harem romance filled with love, humor, and molten hot action that will one-hundred percent rock your world! HEA guaranteed!

Hawk’s Property
When Hawk, the VP of the Insurgents Motorcycle Club, first sees Cara, he knows he wants to do dirty things to her in his bed. He figures a few rounds with the green-eyed woman will satisfy his hunger for her then he’ll move on to the next chick. The problem is Cara isn’t so eager to fall into his bed.

Cara comes from a wealthy family and is used to jackets and ties, not leather and denim. When she lays eyes on the muscled, tatted, black-haired biker, her heart skips a few beats. His piercing blue eyes draw her in, making her want to do things with him that she’s only fantasized about.


Then a vicious killer who has been strangling women in the area focuses on Cara. Hawk sees it as his job to protect what is his...and Cara is very much his even if she doesn't know it yet. Cara keeps her heart guarded, but when danger comes calling, their lives collide.


Jax’s Dilemma
When the Sergeant-At-Arms looks into Cherri’s icy blue eyes, he’s hooked. He decides to make her his, but she doesn’t want any part of it. Cherri is running away from a past shrouded in secrets and darkness. The last thing she wants is a cocky, ripped biker in her life. So she pushes him anyway even though her body wants him in the worst way.

Jax doesn’t give up easily, and just as Cherri begins to relax, her past collides with her new life. She must navigate a deadly obstacle course littered with outlaw motorcycle clubs and a power-hungry politician.


Jax won’t stop until he claims Cherri. He vows to protect and love her no matter what. When put to the test, will Jax betray his family—the Insurgents MC—or will he lose the woman he loves forever?


Chas’s Fervor

Addie has lusted after her student’s father ever since the muscled biker swaggered into the library. She’s always been a sucker for a bad boy, and the tattooed, dirty-mouthed outlaw biker is just her type. But even though his charming smile pulls at her heart and his chiseled chest makes her body overheat, she’s carrying around a deep, dark secret that makes hooking up with him impossible.


Chas knows Addie is hiding something. He makes it his mission to find out what it is, and, once he does, he’ll claim her as his woman.


Axe’s Fall
One-night stands and Axe go hand-in-hand. A member of the Insurgents MC, Axe has the tattoos, the ripped body, and the badass attitude women love. He’s great in bed and always leaves them pleading for more. But he doesn’t commit, do phone calls, or repeat performances.

So when he sees her at his friend’s wedding, he knows she’ll have her long legs wrapped around his waist, moaning and begging for more. But what he didn’t know is that he won't be able to get her out of his mind. He wants a repeat performance. Many of them.


Baylee is career oriented and has put men on the back burner. Until she meets Axe.

It was just for one night. So what if the sex was incredible? She can’t get the man with the smoldering eyes and tatted, chiseled body out of her mind. Thinking of him makes her insides melt.

Then she accepts a job, and the client turns out to be the Insurgents. Her one-night stand walks into the conference room. Her ordered world explodes. In addition to the sexy biker, her memory of her mother’s murder is coming back, and the killer is out there, making sure no one knows what she remembers.

Getting Lucky

by Annie J. Rose


I've been uninspired, stuck in a rut.
I needed to get lucky... Fast.
And if fortune does favor the brave,
I'm ready to risk it all.


The moment I laid eyes on her, she was all I could see.
Talking to my paintbrushes is nothing new to me,
But the girl behind the counter certainly is.
Pink hair, fiery personality, and curves for days,
They didn't name the store Paddy's for nothing.
Because as destiny would have it, I've found my muse.
And I would do anything to lock eyes with her again.
Like paint stunning, colorful portraits of her,
And then invite her and her art class to my exhibit.
But when she comes home with me that night,
I know it’s the beginning of something truly beautiful.
Too bad her arrogant father is ruthless and controlling,
Thinking I don't have a real job and can't take care of her.
But I’ll show him just how good for her I am.

And when I found out she’s carrying my baby,
I vow to be a better father than her old man ever was.
Because nothing will come between my muse and our tiny masterpiece.

He is used to getting everything he wants. And now he wants her.

Cell phone lost, a karaoke embarrassment posted on YouTube, and puking on one gorgeous guy’s shoes.
That was quite the party evening of the otherwise rather shy Adele, who just moved to San Francisco from a small town.
Thankfully, the guy was kind enough to take her home anyway.

But when she starts her new job on Monday, Adele is shocked. The man from the party is her new boss, Logan Steel!
His name says it all: The billionaire who runs his company with a firm hand and can be freezing cold when he needs to be. Which seems to be most of the time. Nothing is more important to him than always being in control and each of his steps is carefully planned.

Adele knows she should quit her job immediately - but that’s easier said than done because she’s completely broke and needs to pay her bills. And apart from that, Logan has an incredibly magnetic effect on her. His dominant nature and mysterious aura spark a hot desire, which the virgin Adele herself did not know even existed.

When Logan suddenly starts asking her to work overtime in his office, it all comes down to the inevitable...
But one question remains: Can Adele really trust Logan - or is she just a puzzle piece in his outrageous plan?
