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).

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?

—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
I’m soon to become a plus-sized model entrepreneur.
It’ll be my business to know curves, but this new model we brought on is going to be the end of me.
Money was the name of the game when I started this venture, but now, I’m tied up in knots.
This woman has my mind in places it doesn’t belong, at least not in the office.
Her curves. Her passion. The fire behind her eyes.
I can’t get her out of my mind, and I sure as hell don’t want her out of my bed.
But life doesn’t always play fair.
A few bad decisions later, I’m losing my grip on the one thing I want most.
Her and our secret baby she's carrying.
Get ready for a steamy paranormal romance series like no other.
Seven brothers, all sons of the demon prince, Wrath.
Strong.
Powerful.
Deadly.
Each has a brand of pain to exact vengeance, and an insatiable desire to find his mate.
An ancient enemy has awakened, threatening both the demon and human realms. Bonds will be broken, love tested, and loyalties destroyed.
SOUL AVENGED (Book 1):
Passion is blind in vengeance and love …
Ayden’s suburban home was invaded by a pack of Lycans.
The brutal attack is the only memory she carries of her former life.
Now, one motive burns in her soul:
KILL THEM ALL.
The Sons of Wrath—a brood of vengeance-dealing warrior demons—band with Ayden to hunt the Lycans on Detroit’s most deadly feeding grounds.
Kane Walker should’ve been her easiest kill.
Unfortunately, the newly bitten Lycan has something she wants—clues that may finally lay her past to rest. To reach them, she must be willing to submit to the sensual pleasures awakened by his touch.
Time is running out.
In seven days, Kane will become what Ayden despises most. She can halt his transformation but the antidote requires the ultimate sacrifice. As the beast takes hold, Kane becomes more of a threat.
Ayden must choose between her lust for revenge, or surrender to her enemy and discover a horrible truth.
SOUL RESURRECTED (Book 2):
As Wrath’s fiercest son, Logan carries the scars of fifty years spent in the most dreaded prison of the underworld, for a sin he’d kill to keep secret. Enduring decades of gruesome torture has left Logan feared by and detached from others, until a female Alexi’s blood resurrects his soul from death and, with it, the pleasures he’s been denied for so long.
Plagued by shame of her own, Calla is drawn to the ruthless demon, Logan, whose insatiable craving for her touch rouses buried passions and, for once, leaves her feeling desired.
A dark and dangerous evil has been reawakened, however, and when Calla is drawn too close to its breeding grounds, Logan vows to summon the violence of Wrath in order to keep her safe. First, though, Calla must save him from a past riddled with deceit and corruption … but only if she can accept the chilling consequences of unearthing his vilest skeleton.
SOUL ENSLAVED (Book 3):
Imprisonment in Obsidius. Enslavement to a soul-sucking succubus. A reproductive cycle that’d send a sex fiend running into the arms of celibacy. Given the choice, most demons would opt for death.
Gavin, eldest son of Wrath, has been sentenced to all three.
When the succubus decides its time to collect, though, he fears his nightmares have only just begun.
And Sabelle’s timing couldn’t be worse.
With a bad case of uncontrollable lust, thanks to his Savidon, the last thing Gavin wants is a vengeful succubus stoking his darkest desires, but debts must be paid—he just didn’t bank on enjoying his punishment so much.
Because the swinging bachelor may have found his perfect mate in the sexy seductress.
However, just as things seem to be looking up, past sins resurface, plunging the two into a deadly game of power and deception. As their worst fears merge into one unexpected threat, Gavin is determined to protect Sabelle and win her freedom.
At any cost.
The only life I’m supposed to be leading is the one I choose to lead.
After her parents are sent to jail for embezzlement and fraud, Genevieve decides that it’s time for a new start, so she packs up her apartment, sells most of her possessions, and gets a job through a website as an au pair for a widower with a five-year-old daughter...in France. When she gets to the small town that is now her home, Gen is taken aback, first by the fierce affection she feels for the little girl, Mathilde, and the fiercer attraction she feels for her new boss, Olivier. But when she finds out that Olivier’s business practices are less than legal, Genevieve must choose whether to ignore his shady practices, per his request... or whether she will risk his anger by diving back into the world she thought she was leaving behind. But when it comes to protecting the man and child she has come to love, Gen finds out exactly what she’s capable of.
One night was all we had.
He’s a gorgeous doctor on a mission to save the world.
I’m a secretary that’s just trying to make ends meet…
Dressed in a ball gown at the masked ball.
I felt like Cinderella that night.
And for the first time I felt beautiful, even graceful.
UNTIL… I spilled my drink down the stranger’s suit.
Turns out he’s Duncan Clyburne.
A surgeon from one of the wealthiest families in NYC.
Yeah, we come from completely different worlds.
Yet, we shared one unforgettable passionate night together.
Now he’s in a war-torn country saving lives.
At least that’s what I thought.
Till he walked back into my life.
And walked into the secret in an unimaginable way.
With him delivering our baby!
Do you think now is a good time to tell him?
Re-Released, just in time for Valentines Day with 75% more pages. The story of Nate and his identical twin brother, Nicholae will have you reaching for a cool-down.
Lynn is in a quandary. Ever since she could remember, she’s had a thing for twins, not just any twins, identical twins. Now she is in a relationship with one half of the most handsome set of identical twins, but she can’t stop thinking about the other. She had one, but she wants them both.
Nicholae and his brother have a great relationship. They never covet each other’s property. If one has something, and the other wants it, they share, whatever it was. But now Nate has something Nicholae wants, and he doesn’t know how to ask to share because something tells him Nate won’t share this with him… his new girlfriend, Lynn.
Lynn has a need, and Nicholae has a want, and then there’s Nate in the middle. Will he give in to his brother, or will he put his foot down and deny him this one time?
He was like my brother. I never meant to fall for him.
But you can't choose who you love. Even when everyone's against it.
Remy was my protector. At least, that's how I always saw him. The brother I never had.
Till we got drunk one night and things took a very un-brotherly turn.
His sharp blue eyes went from sweet to mesmerizing, and his lips suddenly turned very, very kissable.
I still don't know what I was thinking.
All I know is that it was the best night of my life.
But Remy was so messed up. No way would he ever remember what happened.
So I pretended like it hadn't changed my life.
But pretending and forgetting are two different things.
Now I'm back. And I still want him.
I just have one question... does he still want me?
Chicago restaurant owner Sabrina Marconi needs to hide. And fast. She just sent a mob boss to prison. A competition to become the cook on a cattle ranch in Nebraska might just be the safe haven this city girl is looking for. With a new name, Laura Marshall, and a new life, everything is going according to plan. Until she meets the ranch owner.
Ranch owner Caleb Kirkpatrick is a single dad with too much on his plate. The latest ranch expansion means he needs someone to cook for his men. His brother’s idea to have the cooks compete for the job might be the craziest thing he’s ever heard. Until he meets Laura, who seems to be the most unlikely candidate to be a ranch cook.
When the competition among the women gets fierce, someone decides to play dirty, and Laura’s cooking skills might not be enough. But if she doesn’t get this job, she has nowhere to go. Not to mention the growing feelings she’s having for her boss, feelings she tries to suppress.
The drama among the competing women is almost more than Caleb can handle. He’s got his hands full with missing equipment and dead cattle. But Laura isn’t like the others, and despite his best intentions, his feelings for her are growing. What is the secret she’s hiding? Will she ever trust him enough to allow them to have a future together? And will her Chicago past chase her down in rural Nebraska?
Fans of Three Rivers Ranch Romance by Liz Isaacson, Come Sundown by Nora Roberts, Wind River Wrangler by Lindsay McKenna, and Not Quite Dating by Catherine Bybee will love this contemporary romance on the ranch.

‘OMG THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ROMANCE BOOKS I’VE EVER READ… I literally laughed out loud because it is just too relatable and too funny… Reminds me of Sophie Kinsella… CANNOT wait to read more books from this author!!’ Bookish Bibliophile, 5 stars
Is this all there is? I scraped the last dregs of Caramel Chew Chew ice cream out of the bottom of the tub with my finger and licked it. It left a sticky smear on my phone’s screen when I typed into Google, “How to find love, sex and happiness.”
Charlotte has always been a good girl. But being good is getting boring…
She’s not just stuck in a rut – she’s buried in it up to her chin. The only company she has in bed is the back catalogue of Netflix and falling in love feels like the stuff of fairy tales. So when she stumbles across a popular podcast, ‘Sorry Not Sorry’, which challenges women to embrace their inner bad girl, she jumps at the chance to shake things up.
Old Charlotte would never ask for a stranger’s number, go on a blind date or buy lacy lingerie… But New Charlotte is waving goodbye to her comfort zone (with a side order of margaritas). And it turns out that good things happen to bad girls…
A fabulously feel-good novel that will make you laugh till you cry and leave you living life to the full, margarita in hand!

I should have taken off my ring before I asked her out.
I’m a military man, or was. I should have known better than that.
It gave her the wrong impression. It would to any woman.
Being a single father and losing my wife has left me wanting to pull back from love.
But this new girl at the flower shop, Cupid’s Arrow, has me feeling things I didn’t know I’d ever feel again.
It’s Valentine’s Day, and I want this girl to be mine.
Forever.
