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).

Piper (The Casanova Club Book 1)

by Ali Parker


The Casanovas.

Twelve of the world’s most eligible bachelors are personally invited to take a seat on this exclusive, private match-making club. (Piper: Sharing is caring?)

The purpose? To find the perfect wife. Ten women are considered, but only one is chosen. Each of these men are after one lucky girl’s heart. Vetting these ladies is a year long event. Contests. Forms. Interviews. Demonstrations. Galas. (Piper: All of which I missed. Darn.)

The prize? One million dollars or a ring from the bachelor of her choice after the yearlong mutli-engagement period is over. Lady’s choice. (Piper: Show me the money.)

The problem? Me. I need cash more than anyone could possibly understand, and there’s no way in hell I’d ever be invited to woo twelve men for a chunk of change. (Piper: Good thing I know the coordinator.)

The promise? To save my family from losing their house, their business and their hope. All I need is a shot at the position. (Piper: Determination, haircare products and a strut like I own the place will do the rest.)

Piper: These boys are in for a treat. Maybe. Possibly. What did I just get myself into?

The Casanova Club – Only one can win her heart.

Note to the Reader: This is a 13 book sexy romantic comedy series with monthly releases in 2019. We'll be following the journey of Piper, one funny, down-to-earth young woman, and her willingness to give up everything to save her family. The books are standalone in nature, but do have references to the books before as Piper will spend a month with each member of the 2019 Casanova Club. Voting will begin in early April and run all year long. That's right. You get to vote on who Piper ends up. More to come on that! Enjoy. I did.

I'll taste her. Caress her. Claim her every inch.

But Lizzie discovered my secret and disappeared.
Will my past cost me everything?
Or can she forgive me for my royal screw-up?

Her past. His secrets. They have more in common than she knows.

Maisy is happily content with the life she’s built for herself and her young son in small-town Prescott, Montana.

But when a handsome stranger walks into the lobby of her motel, her simple life is swept up in a wave of affection for his gentle heart. None of those feelings can be trusted, though. She made that mistake before with another man. The man she murdered.

Hunter was a different man when he first saw Maisy Holt from afar. He took one look at her and ran in the opposite direction. But years later, he’s back in Montana and unable to keep his distance. He shouldn’t have tried to find her but he never was good at rejecting temptation. The promise of the good she could bring into his life is too hard to resist. Maybe if he can disguise the lies and hide the deceit, he can keep her from learning the truth. Because his only chance at a future with her is by burying his past.

Fake It For Me

by Weston Parker


I need a woman to help me shut up my big Greek family.

And my new intern is perfect for the job, though pretending to have a relationship with her might be a little taboo.

Good thing I'm in charge.

Being a self-made billionaire, I haven't spent much time looking for love.

None actually.

Lucky for me, it's fallen right into my lap.
 

This pretty American girl has zero sense of direction, but a good heart and a sexy smile.

I've always been smitten by a woman that needs rescuing, or so it seems.

Something tells me that she might be more than I bargained for.

Either way, I just need her to fake it for me until it appears real.

Funny how real it quickly becomes.


Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston

Shelter: Moon Lake Book One

by Dahlia West


When Grant Daniels is unexpectedly discharged from the Marines, he heads back to his childhood home of Moon Lake, Idaho to run his family’s lodge. The place has seen better days and so has he. The wedding party from hell (actually New York City) checks in, complete with paparazzi and a Bridezilla. Nothing in his training has prepared him for an invasion of this scale.

Legend has it that if you look into the still waters of Moon Lake on the full moon, you’ll see the face of your true love on the water. Paige Ross doesn’t need fairy tales, though. She’s got a ring on her finger and a white dress stuffed in the back of her closet. There’s no backing out now, even if her impending nuptials feel more like a prison sentence for a crime she didn’t commit.

The moonlight shows her things she never knew existed, including a gruff ex-Marine that Paige knows she shouldn’t be looking at. She should stay away; she’s about to say “I do.” But Grant Daniels pulls at her like gravity. The moon is rising and the wedding bells are sounding more and more like an alarm.

What will she see when she looks in the water? A marriage… or a Marine?
