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 one guy I always wanted is finally back in my grasp.
My older brother’s best friend.
The hottest guy from my youth. The one that kept me awake at night.
And still does.
I wanted him to notice me so badly, but he never did.
And now I’m grown and have kick-ass curves.
A trip up the mountains brings me face to face with him again.
Nothing has changed except me. And my increased desire for this rugged, heartbroken man.
He’s been my crush all my life, but we’re about to be far more.
This time, I’m not giving up or giving in.
Not until he’s all mine.
The Templetons have inherited a fortune but there's a catch...
Minerva Templeton has a reputation for being, well, something of a recluse. A wallflower, if you will.
However, due to her grandfather’s demands, all that must change. She must travel to the wilds of Scotland to fetch a mysterious something. Minerva cannot fathom why she should be the one to have to bring home this object but if she does not, their grandfather’s fortune will go to a most underserving man.
So off she sets to Scotland where she must brave all manner of awful things—things this wallflower avoids at all costs after a traumatic experience as a child.
But after the death of her beloved Grandpapa, she cannot help wondering if she should be brave. Bolder. Try new things.
Like meeting a handsome Scottish farmer turned wealthy landowner. Like kissing him perhaps? Like falling desperately in love with the brooding, wonderful man?
No, that’s a few too many new things. After all, there’s only so many new experiences a wallflower can have…
Maddie Frye, the Checkerberry Inn's snarky, introverted chef, just wants to be left alone. But with the inn's upcoming gala, Maddie's boss has matchmaking on the brain. So when the gorgeous new guy in town helps her out for a night, she comes up with the perfect solution to her problem…
Cole Granville is looking for a fresh start. When a part-time job opens in the Checkerberry's kitchen, he takes it without a second thought. The only catch? He's got to help his sexy new coworker snag a date for an upcoming dance. But as he coaches Maddie on attracting her crush, Cole realizes he's the one falling for the curvy brunette.
Each book in the Checkerberry Inn series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.

In this runaway New York Times bestseller, a harrowing near-death experience brings together an English teacher and her student as they struggle to survive on a desert island.
Sixteen-year-old T.J. Callahan has no desire to go anywhere. With his cancer in remission, all he wants is to get back to his normal life. But his parents insist that he spend the summer catching up on the school he missed while he was sick.
Anna Emerson is a thirty-year-old English teacher who has been worn down by the cold Chicago winters and a relationship that’s going nowhere. To break up the monotony of everyday life, she jumps at the chance to spend the summer on a tropical island tutoring T.J.
Anna and T.J. board a private plane headed to the Callahans’ summer home, but as they fly over the Maldives’ twelve hundred islands, the unthinkable happens: their plane crashes in shark-infested waters. They make it to shore, but soon discover they’re stranded on an uninhabited island.
At first, their only thought is survival. But as the days turn to weeks, and then months, and as birthdays pass, the castaways must brave violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the worst threat of all—the possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. With only each other for love and support, these two lost souls must come to terms with their situation and find compaionship in one another in the moments they need it most.
Nomad biker: a solitary life, riding from place to place.
Flux once wore the Insurgents MC patch and his territory was Colorado. Now his bottom rocker reads Nomad.
The open road is Flux’s therapy and facing a 1,500-pound bull in the rodeo ring is the way he blocks out the memories. One-night stands, booze and plenty of weed have done a damn good job at keeping his heart locked up.
Until he meets a sassy barrel rider.
The golden hair vixen runs rings around him faster than she rides her horse in the arena, and he can’t keep away from her. For the first time since the unspeakable tragedy happened, something stirs inside him.
But he has a long iceberg of guilt that he doesn’t want to get rid of. He’s chosen to live with it as a reminder of what has happened. Couple that with a bunch of inner demons that don’t play nice and he’s nothing but a shell of who he once was.
Maggie Haves hasn’t known anything except the discipline of practice. Touted as one of the best barrel riders to hit the rodeo circuit, Maggie doesn’t have time for anything that will veer her off the pro rodeo trail.
Rugged, tatted and muscular Flux is a very big distraction. Not to mention complicated beyond belief.
Flux has lived on the wild side most of his life, whereas Maggie has always played it safe. She knows the biker is danger in leather, but she’s drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Something about him keeps luring her, and she’s willing to take a chance on love with this imperfect man even if it destroys her.
Will Maggie be the one to show Flux that he deserves to live again … and forgive himself, or will his demons devour her before he throws her away?
Can two unlikely people find love in the midst of so much darkness?
The Nomad Biker series are standalone romance novels. This is Flux’s story. This book contains violence, abuse, strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. HEA. No cliffhangers. The book is intended for readers over the age of 18.
“With tenderness and skill, Beth Vogt examines the price of secrets, the weight of tragic loss, and the soul-deep poison of things left unsaid.” —Lisa Wingate, NYT bestselling author of Before We Were Yours

But with her middle sister Jillian’s engagement, Payton’s party-planning skills are called into action. Which means working alongside her opinionated oldest sister, Johanna, who always seems ready for a fight. They can only hope that a wedding might be just the occasion to heal the resentment and jealousy that divides them . . . until a frightening diagnosis threatens Jillian’s plans and her future. As old wounds are reopened and the family faces the possibility of another tragedy, the Thatchers must decide if they will pull together or be driven further apart.
When six friends make a pact not to let love get in the way of their careers, the No Brides Club is born. But could meeting the right man at the wrong time cause them to break their vows to each other?
Kinsley King loves her lavish lifestyle as one of Manhattan’s most in-demand real estate brokers. She’s worked hard to get to the top, and she’s not backing down now… But when her favorite aunt bequests her a wildlife sanctuary in the middle of nowhere, she has a tough decision to make: honor her aunt’s last wish or put the property on the market and maintain the life she adores.
Dylan Reese, on the other hand, thinks life off the grid is just about perfect. That is, until the owner of the wildlife sanctuary he manages dies suddenly and leaves the place to her spoiled city-slicker niece. Now he, too, has a choice: leave it all behind or swallow his pride and take orders from a woman who wants no part of this particular commitment.
Sparks fly in this opposites attract sweet romance as Kinsley finds herself falling for the swoon-worthy sanctuary manager, causing her to rethink the no marriage vow she made with her girlfriends, while Dylan wonders how he’s going to keep from losing his heart to the one woman who’s sure to break it.
Linnie Wayfair knows just how many people are counting on her. But knowing doesn’t make doing any easier.
Everyone in Sweet Lake, Ohio, wants her to muster all her business sense and return the Wayfair Inn to its former glory. Her parents hope she’ll forgive her scoundrel of a brother and reconcile the family. The eccentric Sweet Lake Sirens want her to open the inn—and her heart—to new possibilities.

Someone once told me that there are worst things than being left at the altar. Well, not many, in my experience. That was six months ago, though, and my life has moved on. Heck, I have a new job lined up and I'm leaving town.
But, I can't deny that my love life kind of sucks.
That’s why I let my friends convince me to join them for Club Escapade’s Breakup Bash. And we might just be disillusioned enough to actually enjoy it. Last time we were here, it was for my bachelorette party. That night, I met one of the dancers – Raphael – and when he flirted with me, I almost forgot I was engaged. And there's a part of me that never forgot him.
Now, it seems my friends have wandered off and I’m thinking about calling it a night. Until the music begins and I see Raphael, my secret fantasy, on stage. And this time, I’m definitely not engaged...
I’m in love with the wrong girl.
Our fathers were arch enemies in business. Hate was the center of their wicked relationship.

The cards couldn’t be more stacked against us.
One I’m counting on to hold steady.
If I wasn’t married at thirty-five, then this beautiful girl would become my bride.
But her career is more important. I’m a billionaire, so I get it.
There’s only so much a man can take, though.
Best of luck to her in her journey.
Fate isn’t so friendly, though. She’s carrying a secret.
My baby.
Our Romeo and Juliet story twists around every bend, but I’ll be damned if my girl isn’t going to get her happily ever after.
I’m a Bancroft, and we get what we want.
When we want it.
All I want is her.
He's my enemy... and my assignment.
One night—that's all it should be. One night of raw, primal passion.
When his plane goes down, it should be the end. Instead, it's just the beginning.
I betrayed Lucas Kent, and now he'll make me pay.

It was completely forbidden, and yet, I couldn’t stop myself.
But I wasn’t alone.
Everyone crushed on our high-school coach back in the day.
Strong. Dominant. Hot as sin.
And completely off limits. Or he was back then.
Now I’m finally grown up, and I’ve come back home.
Life feels directionless, but one thing is dead center.
My old crush.
Now I’m finally old enough to do something about it, and I plan to.
But I need to figure out how to tell my best friend that I’m in love.
With her father.
Finding love just got a little easier...
Josie Carter swore that there was no such thing as a "love potion" and that the crazy lady selling it at the hippie festival was a complete sham.
But a tiny little thread of hope is what made her try a sip.
A sip that caused a series of unfortunate events to unfold, wreaking havoc in her life but leading her to a man who just might be everything she's been missing.
Before time runs out she'll have to figure out if it's true love, or if it's all just too good to be true.
A fake ad brings a cowboy to Georgia's door just in time for all the Quinn family holiday parties, so she hires Logan to be her boyfriend. Nothing can go wrong with this plan...except she might lose her heart to her newly contracted cowboy.
Georgia Quinn doesn't particularly love being one of the dozens of Quinns in Quinn Valley. Her family is just so loud, you know? And she's certainly not looking forward to a holiday season full of family get-togethers when she has to do everything alone after her painful break-up months ago.
When her granny mentions the holidays would be more fun with a boyfriend, Georgia seizes onto the idea and puts out an ad for someone to come fix the barn at the ranch. But what they really need to fix is her heart, and there's no one more suited for her than carpenter and cowboy Logan Locke.
Logan's the quiet type, and he hasn't had a serious relationship in a long time. But he desperately needs the money, and if Georgia needs her barn finished or a date to a party, he doesn't care as long as he gets paid.
Georgia and Logan pose as the perfect couple, showing her ex that she's moved on when she hasn't and his family that he can be serious about something when he never has been before. But how badly will they both crash and burn if they let their feelings become real in a relationship that is anything but?

Meadow Dawson needs Santa to deliver a solution to her management of the enormous Colorado ranch she’s inherited. YouTube videos just aren’t going to cut it. Too bad she’s not on speaking terms with the one man who can help her out. . . .

But this Christmas, the unexpected gift of love will surprise them both.
“No one beats this author for sensual anticipation.”
—Rave Reviews
They think they own her.
But she's mine.
And I'll fight all of them to prove it.
When I got out of the Marines, I just wanted a simple life. Own a bar. Live in solitude. No complications, and that means no women.
Then I’m in my buddy’s wedding. I’m best man. She’s maid of honor.
From the second I see her, I’m smitten. Eyes like sapphires. Lips like rosy pillows. Her body, pure temptation at its worst. She’s sweet. She’s innocent.
And that night, I find out she’s untouched.
There’s only one problem: her father’s an outlaw, the president of the dreaded Iron Diablos Motorcycle Club, and he’s got his own ideas about what his daughter is good for.
When I look at Mia, I see the woman I want to marry.
He sees a bargaining chip.
And I’m not about to let him get his way.
Her Rock Hard Mountain Man is a complete standalone! Warning: this one is a four-alarm kindle melter, so make sure you read it with a cold drink handy! Plus, I promise no cheating and a swoony happily-ever-after that’ll hit you right in the feels.
I’ve never been that great with women.
Wait. Hold up. That’s not necessarily true. I’ve always been good with them physically. But at a certain point, that’s not enough.
And that point is now.
I never thought I would get to a point where I wanted more. But here I am. Single, living alone, and still missing my dead cousin who, if he were still alive, would give me shit for still being single and living alone.
But when I saw her singing along to a song I didn’t know and strumming her fingers on the wheel of her expensive Mercedes, I needed to know more about her. I needed to know her name. How she walked. How her lips looked when she said my name.
I never imagined that one conversation with her would change my entire life—and put me in the crosshairs of a man who has been making her life a living Hell for the last few years.
Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t know who the f*ck I am and what I’m willing to do for the girl who stole my heart the first second I saw her.
Enjoy a classic story of love and second chances by New York Times Bestselling Author Jill Shalvis!
Hardened cop Sam O’Neill knew a meddlesome woman when he saw one. He’d saved cocktail waitress Angie Rivers during a bank holdup, but he couldn’t get her pretty face or the feel of her silky skin out of his head. She made him lose his focus—she softened his heart—and that put both of them knee-deep in danger, because someone wanted Angie dead.
Angie was the only one who could identify the leader of a brutal identity-theft ring. But she was done feeling helpless and vulnerable and was ready to take things into her own hands, despite the tall, dark detective’s passionate demands to stay out of trouble—and out of his heart!
Originally published in 2002
The one that got away... and now she’s back in my life.
And in the oddest way. This beautiful woman is working to take over—fast. As if!
Like the guys I work with might listen to her.
But crazily enough, they do. All of them.
Except me.
She’s too sweet and innocent.
Or that’s how I remember her. But she’s all grown up now.
My best friend’s little sister is jacking up my life.
And now, I hear she’s saving herself for marriage and not interested in dating casually.
I’ll change her mind.
Funnily enough, she starts to change mine instead.
Casually doesn’t sound like so much fun anymore.
I’m playing for keeps.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
