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).

California Girls

by Susan Mallery


The California sunshine’s not quite so bright for three sisters

who get dumped in the same week…


Finola, a popular LA morning-show host, is famously upbeat until she’s blindsided on live TV by the news that her husband is sleeping with a young pop sensation who has set their affair to music. While avoiding the tabloids and pretending she’s just fine, she’s crumbling inside, desperate for him to come to his senses and for life to go back to normal.

Zennie’s breakup is no big loss. Although the world insists she pair up, she’d rather be surfing. So agreeing to be the surrogate for her best friend is a no-brainer—after all, she has an available womb and no other attachments to worry about. Except…when everyone else, including her big sister, thinks she’s making a huge mistake, being pregnant is a lot lonelier—and more complicated—than she imagined.

Never the tallest, thinnest or prettiest sister, Ali is used to being overlooked, but when her fiancé sends his disapproving brother to call off the wedding, it’s a new low. And yet Daniel continues to turn up “for support,” making Ali wonder if maybe—for once—someone sees her in a way no one ever has.

But side by side by side, these sisters will start over and rebuild their lives with all the affection, charm and laugh-out-loud humor that is classic Susan Mallery.

Pretty Reckless

by L.J. Shen


Top #4 in the entire store.
#14 Most Sold Book on Amazon

"A runaway train of revenge, rivalry and angst. This complex and venomous tale takes on a modern-day Cruel Intentions/Mean Girls vibe. Pretty Reckless is unputdownable and absolute Kindle Crack." - Kindle Crack Book Reviews

From USA Today and Washington Post bestselling author L.J. Shen comes an intense, high school enemies-to-lovers romance with a twist.


Penn

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.
I took her first kiss.
She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor.
She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen. I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.

Daria

Everyone loves a good old unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
Now? Now he is making me pay.

The Billionaire's Unexpected Wife #1

Only problem is, I don’t believe in true love. And she doesn’t seem to, either.

So when her sister drops off her newborn baby and then disappears, Bailey is ready and willing to confront anyone, including a six-foot-two, sexier-than-sin Navy SEAL sniper, and make him do his duty.

Queen of Spades

Wanted by the Seven

Hunted by a powerful sorcerer

To keep Fed and mum safe, I’m forced to work for two shysters, who’d sell my ass for a quarter. And my only power is the ability to detect it in others. Hardly enough to stand up to the forces trickling through from the veiled realm and the three hunky paranormals that are on my tail.

A hot retriever has arrived to take me back to Astral Solar to stand trial. A sexy sorcerer wants to make me pay for something I didn’t know I did, and the hunky skinwalker lurking around my apartment knows way too much personal information.

I need my pack of cards, and a glimpse of the future. But I sense something else brewing, which threatens more than the lives of those I love. It’s dark and dangerous and seductively alluring…

I may not have much in the way of powers, but I have guts and determination.

I just hope it’s enough to keep me one step ahead…

You’ll love this urban fantasy RH because everyone loves a feisty heroine and a sexy bunch of heroes that won’t give up the fight.

Rocky Mountain Heat (Six Pack Ranch Book 1)

by Vivian Arend


New York Times Bestselling Author Vivian Arend​ brings you the first STAND ALONE book in the bestselling SIX PACK RANCH series.

-------------
Sometimes love is right there for the taking.

Responsible oldest of six brothers, Blake Coleman knows his desire for the sweet girl-next-door is wrong. While Jaxi has grown into a western-hat-wearing blonde with slim legs that go on forever, the responsible thing to do is keep his hands off.

Jaxi has other plans for Blake's hands, and his heart. She's more than ready to convince him they’d be perfect together, but he can't seem to see past the big "don't touch" sign that's apparently hanging around her neck.

When Jaxi ends up living on the Six Pack ranch right under Blake's nose, the undeniable heat between them slides off simmer and up to barn-burning levels. When a couple of Blake’s younger brothers decide Jaxi's brand of trouble is worth getting tangled up with, Blake's going to have to let go the reins and fight for what he really wants—her heart, forever.

Warning: Unapologetically sexy, this book contains cowboys seducing and being seduced: in trucks, pool halls, and barns. Drool-worthy country charm, a little double-teaming, and a lot of secrets are revealed as the Coleman family saga begins. Saddle up and ride.

Caught Up In Love

by Weston Parker


I was chasing what I thought was a dream.

Having made a billion dollars by twenty-nine, I decided to retire.

Build a boat. Back where life started in my small town on the lake.

My days of one-night stands are hopefully behind me.

I’m ready to find the girl who has a big heart she’s willing to give away.

And I found her, but she’s tainted by her past.

Seems life has dealt her a few too many blows, and rich guys aren’t her thing.

They aren’t mine either. Ha! Looks like we have something in common.

But this girl… she’s the one. I can feel the truth of it coursing through my veins.

And if nothing else, the way she looks at me. She wants me. I’ve never been more sure of anything.

There may be a million fish in the sea, but I only see one option.

Her.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

Taming the Bad Boy

by Jolie Moore

 

From up here on stage, I can see her. Even with her First Lady hair and Sunday school shoes, I can’t take my eyes off of her. 

The music starts. I swing my hips to the thumping bass. Oh, so slowly I slip one button through a hole, then another, then another. I ease the black silk from my shoulders and toss it right toward her. 

I watch her pale glossy lips form a big ‘O’ before she catches it like a major league baller. The flashing lights blind me. Between beats, I can see her blue eyes zeroed in below my waist.  

I know what she wants. I give it to her. With a zip and a tug, the leather pants join the rest of my clothes. In my skin tight briefs, I dance just for her. With the last chord of the song, the stage goes dark.  

I know when the lights come up again, another guy will be dancing in my place because this is my last time. I’m not doing this ever again. It’s too bad I didn’t get her name. I really liked that shirt. But not enough to go back and claim it.  

If she wants me bad enough, she’ll have to find me.

Mine Forever #1 (The Billionaire Biker Series)

by Weston Parker


I never gave a f*ck about my family’s billions.

I’m a military man, honorable and true.

But my damn brother felt differently. He had me tossed in prison for a crime I didn’t commit, and now, all I think about is revenge.

It slowly becomes an obsession until something finally breaks through the dark cloud.

My high school sweetheart.

It’s been ten years since graduation, and she isn’t a little smart-assed girl anymore.

She’s a woman. My woman.

I thought prison would undo me, but nothing could prepare me for the secret my girl held back from me.

A baby. A family. One I didn’t know I had.

And now my brother knows, too. He’ll use anything to destroy me, including my kid.

Money creates opportunity, but there’s a cost it requires.

The payment for wealth is high, and my brother is willing to go all in.

I might have started out honorable, but now?

There’s nothing this ex-con won’t do to keep his family safe.

Even kill.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy ~ Weston

This is book 1 in a three book series. You will need to read the other two books to finish the story.
