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).

Undeniable: A Cloverleigh Farms Standalone

by Melanie Harlow


When we were eleven, Oliver Ford Pemberton dared me to jump off a barn
roof. He said you couldn’t break a leg from a 12-foot jump.

He lied.

(You can also break a collarbone, which served him right as far as I was
concerned.)

I wish I could say it was the last dare I ever took from him, the last bet
I ever made with him, the last time I ever *trusted* Oliver Ford Pemberton.

But it wasn’t.

Because he had the nerve to grow up gorgeous, charming, and sexy. And as we
got older, the dares only got dirtier—and the betting stakes higher—until
finally, he left me in pieces.

I swore I’d never talk to him again.

But twenty years after I took that flying leap, he’s back in my life,
daring me to risk everything for him: my job, my self-worth, and my heart.

How many chances does true love deserve?

Baby by Mistake

by Victoria Snow

 

Royal a$$h0le, daddy’s best friend, and also my new boss.

But how on earth did we end up making a baby?

Was it just a mistake?

Well, let’s go back a few years.

I was innocent and naïve.

He was off limits.

But that was the challenge, right?

Finally, I seduced him into a no strings attached relationship.

Yep, I’m the s$xy kind of innocent.

And then that one mistake…

Oops, daddy’s gonna kill him if he finds out.

And the board is going to fire him for sleeping with an intern.

I guess I should keep this baby a secret – even from the father.

Wasn’t this supposed to be no strings attached?

Oh well…how many pieces can a heart break into!

Billionaire Unchallenged ~ Carter: A Billionaire's Obsession Novel

by J. S. Scott


What happens when you're instantly drawn and inexplicably attracted to a man you haven't really met?

Me? Well, I left a party like my butt was on fire when it happened to me. Arrogant, wealthy and physically perfect men were nothing but trouble, even if I was mesmerized by a man with all of those attributes.

Unfortunately, we met again--in person this time-- when I literally collided with Carter Lawson in the flesh several days later, and discovered he was a man I just couldn't stay away from, no matter how much I tried. He felt the same attraction, and was determined to make it impossible for me not to see him.

My body craved him, and as I got to know the real man behind the jaded billionaire, womanizer facade, I was surprised to discover that I actually liked him.

He's the quintessential alpha male that I normally hate, but there's something I see in him that nobody else does, a pain I recognize in his glacier-like eyes--because I'm just like him. Both of us are frauds

I want to crack him like an egg, and see what's inside, but there's no way I want him to do the same thing to me.

On the surface, I'm a successful supermodel with a great career.

Inside, I'm someone else, a woman that nobody sees--until Carter slowly breaks through my defensive walls as well as he satisfies my body, starting to open wounds that have never really healed.

But there's only so much I can let Carter see. Revealing everything could ruin my entire life and the career I'd worked so hard to build.

So why was it so hard to lie to Carter like I'd been doing with everyone else my entire life?

Main Squeeze

by Weston Parker


Leave the family fortune for love? Heh. Not a chance.

Besides, romance is a luxury a man like me can’t afford.

I come from wealth and lots of it.

And wealth comes with responsibility. Not freedom. People like to get that shit mixed up.

But I gotta get away for a while. A small coastal town in the Northeast is perfect, until it isn’t.

The pretty single mom I meet there is everything I want in my life, but she’s not going to be accepted by my family.

And she’s damaged goods. Her words. Not mine.

The bastard that knocked her up years ago left without a word, and this beautiful girl is scarred.

But I’m not him. Worse in some ways and better in others, I have no choice but to try.

Even though it will cost me everything I thought was important.

I’m over casual flings.

Time to become this lady’s main squeeze.

Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston
