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 is a title that some boys dream of, but as an orphan, I never thought it would happen to me. After being adopted by the wealthiest people in Qatar, I had a new life to look forward to.
Years later, my adopted parents would have a son, a true son. My father gave me the opportunity to have my own business, and I could never repay him for what he has done for me.
After a trip to Qatar to see him, I find out that he is stepping down as the king and wants me to be the new king. I know my brother is the one that should have the seat, but he is only eleven and has spoken out about not wanting to do it.
All this, and now the most beautiful woman somehow pushes her way into my life. She is tough and persistent. Two very attractive qualities in a woman.
I’m in a place of doubt and confusion and all I need is her.
When she tells me who she really is, can I still love her?

Roses are Red,
Audits are eww,
My mom’s on my nerves,
And this hot guy is too!
Another Valentine’s Day… (long sigh)
And I am married to my company. Girl boss—Yay!!
No time for dates, friends, or the occasional jog at the gym (by jog, I mean mall walking).
My company is in need of help, and the best guy for the job is a single father that is far too handsome for anyone’s good.
Between him laying down the law in the office and my mom nipping at my life choices, I am going insane!
It’s time to put myself first—for once.
No more loving me last.
It’s my turn. His turn.
For a red-hot love affair.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
From the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fangirl, Carry On, and Landline comes a hilarious and heartfelt novel about an office romance that blossoms one email at a time...
Beth Fremont and Jennifer Scribner-Snyder know that somebody is monitoring their work e-mail. (Everybody in the newsroom knows. It's company policy.) But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.
Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now—reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers—not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.
When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. He can't help being entertained, and captivated, by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself. What would he even say...?
I needed a break from my billion-dollar company.
A small beach town called me on a much-needed vacation.
And I never expected to see her there.
Years had passed, and yet I thought about her all the time.
She was my girl and still should be.
Strategy isn’t just for the office.
I’m going to win her heart.
I came for myself, but I’m not leaving without her.
Accidentally saved by the single dad
You know those towns with the dirty names like Spread Eagle or Horneytown? Well, I have a dirty mind and decided to spend my college break visiting them on an epic road trip.
Until my entrance to a sleepy town starts with a bang as my car crashes straight into the Welcome to Rough and Ready sign.
Local mechanic Carter turns up to save me. He’s as rough as the town’s name and immediately has me feeling ready. He’s eye candy from head to toe but his arms stand out the most. Firm biceps, taught forearms and I have an overwhelming urge to run into them.
It’ll take days to fix the car and there’s no motel in town. Luckily he lets me stay in the trailer parked outside his house. I couldn’t be farther from my life at college.
When his six-year-old son’s around a softer side of Carter shows and I struggle to keep my cool with all the heat he creates inside me. Before long it’s obvious the feeling is mutual.
But there’s danger all around him. Danger I have to avoid from a secret I’m determined to learn. And more accidents waiting to happen.
***no cliffhangers, no cheating, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after***

"She Sins at Midnight is clever and disarming. It's a very enjoyable, feel-good book and you don't have to be a chick to have a blast reading it. It's most highly recommended." -Readers' Favorite
Lila Montgomery, thirty-two-year-old Hollywood assistant extraordinaire, has a secret. On the outside, she’s a hard-working dedicated employee, a good friend, and a loving daughter. But above all else, she’s been raised to be a lady, which of course is why she’s determined to conceal her secret life. If her straight-laced friends and family back home ever discover that she is really the smashing new author of a steamy romance novel, their disapproval would shame her forever! That’s why Lila has chosen to publish her sexy narrative under the nom de plume, Jasmine Sheath.
With her fifteenth high school class reunion on the horizon, Lila finds herself at a crossroads. More than anything she wants to go home and see her childhood friends but is embarrassed that she hasn’t accomplished the things she feels she should have by this time in her life; mainly marriage and children.
After another brutal run-in with Melinda Forrester, Oscar nominated actress and client of her boss, Josh Furber, Lila decides that fleeing Hollywood for a month is the best thing for her. Lila packs her bags for her childhood home of Bentley Hills, sure that her friends and family will be the touchstone of normalcy that she so desperately needs. What she doesn't expect is that Melinda will follow her and a tabloid media circus will ensue!
Not only does Lila discover that her home is nothing like she remembers, but she meets and falls in love with the very man that inspired the hero in her novel.
She Sins at Midnight is full of laugh out loud hijinks that will make you never look at Hollywood the same way again!
Author, Whitney Dineen, swears that this novel is based purely on fiction and that any characters bearing any resemblance to any celebrities you know are completely and totally fictitious; even though she spent eighteen years in La La Land, with a celebrity client base for her real job…
A cowgirl down on her luck hires a man who's good with horses and under the hood of a car. Can Hudson fine tune Scarlett's heart as they work together? Or will things backfire and make everything worse at Last Chance Ranch?
Scarlett Adams has had enough. Enough of men breaking her heart. Enough of her boss saying she needs to do better. Enough of the traffic and hustle of the city. So when the opportunity to take over her grandfather's horse ranch in the hills of California comes along, she jumps at it. She'd rather spend her time with horses, dogs, and goats than honking cars, power suits, and men who don't call back.
And she's finally happy.
Hudson Flannigan knows three things: horses, cars, and that he's never going to make his father proud. Not only that, but he's disappointed his mother too. Well, his ex-wife did that when she found someone else to love, but its somehow Hudson's fault.
When Scarlett needs help getting the rundown ranch back into shape, she hires Hudson to get all the vehicles into proper working order. The spark between them is instant and hot, but neither of them wants to endure another painful breakup. Can Scarlett and Hudson find the faith and forgiveness they need to fix themselves as they restore Last Chance Ranch to its former glory? Or will this fine-tuning of their hearts backfire and leave them more broken than before?
Read HER LAST FIRST KISS, the first book in a brand new contemporary western romance series by USA Today bestselling author Liz Isaacson.
Hot. Fast. Dangerous.
Only two things are capable of sating my hunger: racing and women.
I’m a devil behind the wheel, and there isn’t another man in New York City who can beat me.
Nor any dumb enough to try.
But there was a woman who could. My ex-wife, Evie.
And she did. F*cked me up real good.
Thanks to her, I gave up my dream of racing, but I can’t run from fate forever.
The evil bastards at her side have taken over the underground racing scene, but I’m diving back in deep.
With my focus on the road, the last thing I need is a distraction, but that’s just what Laina is.
My best friend’s little sister feels off limits, until she isn’t.
Perfect curves and a smile that could melt hearts, this woman has me wanting to say yes from the start.
She’s relentless and drives me mad with the desire to be bad one more time—just for her.
I might be outracing demons, but I’m not running from anything.
Not me. Not ever again.
The forecast calls for Grey Skyes... with a chance of trouble...
When her client's diamonds go missing, Bernice Lucia must leave her corporate office in Chicago and travel to the tropical paradise of Isla Peligrosa to investigate a casino that is not afraid to load the dice. She's in treacherous water with smuggling rings, liars, and deceit, but the roguish Grey Skyes may be just the diamond thief she's been looking for.
Fans of ROMANCING THE STONE and OCEAN'S ELEVEN will love SKYE'S THE LIMIT, book one in the frothy rom-sus series GREY SKYES ADVENTURES.
My life is my job. It’s all I need.
Or so I thought.
Everyone around me assumes I’m arrogant and cold-hearted, but it’s a persona.
One that keeps me safe in LA.
I might be at the top, but looking around, it’s lonely as hell.
Not that I’d ever utter those words out loud. Not a chance.
And women come and go like the wind.
None of them are looking for real love.
Until her. A new PR agent that I wasn’t expecting to like at all.
But she shakes me to the core of my being, wakes me up, and forces me to feel things I thought were long gone.
I only have one rule–never get involved with anyone in the business.
Now I just need to convince her of that.

I just needed a fresh start.
A new place to raise my little one as I worked to pull my life back together.
It’s never been an easy life, raising my kiddo alone, but I find strength in the little things.
The kind woman that I work for has been like a second mother.
And I had no clue how hot her marine son was until he comes home for a visit.
The guy is 100% alpha male. Everything I find attractive and usually fall hard for.
He’s got a decision to make. Leave the service or reenlist? Time is ticking down.
But the longer he stays, the more I want him to stay.
Where love didn’t seem like a possibility before, I feel like I’ve found a reason to breathe.
Him.
My life couldn’t get any more ridiculous.
A few days ago, my son’s teacher wanted to berate me on my parenting style.
I politely told her to f*ck off, in so many words.
And now? She’s sitting across the table from me at my first blind date in years.
You can’t make this shit up.
Nothing has been easy since my wife left me and Hunter years ago. And yet, we persevered.
He’s my whole world, and the last thing I have time for is a woman.
But this beautiful teacher disagrees. She wants to help me find the right girl for me and my boy. My best friend agrees. It’s time.
To shut everyone up, I go along with it. How bad can this get?
Don’t ask.
The right woman has been under my nose the whole time. And without realizing it, I’ve fallen deeply in love with her.
I can only hope she’ll stop her silly search and accept my offer.
Be mine.
Forever.
We promised each other a sweet, hot forever. Then we found out what happens after "happily ever after."
Brilliant, handsome professor Dean West is everything I've ever wanted, but didn't think I would have. My troubled past left me wary and guarded. But when Dean rescued me from mix-up with college courses, the spark between us turned into a firestorm. As he taught me about desire and trust, this warm, sexy man always kept me safe.
And for three years, our hot, loving marriage has been unbreakable.
Or so I thought.
Then one simple question provokes an alarming chain of events that threatens to tear us apart forever.
Not once have I believed Dean would lie to me...until he does.
Not once have I believed I would betray him...until I do.
Not once have I believed we would ever be apart...until we are.
***
Welcome to Spiral of Bliss. Liv and Dean's everlasting romance will melt your heart, turn you on, and enchant you with the power of a love to end all loves.

One summer. One touch...
Cadence Riley didn’t have time for boys – no matter how potent their smiles were. School and working at Camp Riley were her only priorities. She knew better than to fall for someone like Fitz Quinn, the spoiled bad boy son of a wealthy politician. But the second he spoke to her, she knew she was in over her head. He was a gorgeous trouble maker with a cocky attitude. Her heart warned her, but she didn’t listen. There was something protective and good beneath the bad boy exterior that made her insides flutter. Before she knew it, she fell hard and fast.
Fitz wasn’t prepared to meet a girl like Cadence. She was shy and innocent – and nothing like the girls who usually flocked his doorstep. How could he resist her mile-long blond hair and emerald eyes? He knew he shouldn’t want her. His father already had other plans for him and a relationship with her could never go beyond the summer. He thought their stolen kisses by the lake were only supposed to be a summer fling. Falling for her shouldn’t have happened. But it did.
Now the clock is counting down until Fitz has to return to the life that awaits him in Washington D.C. As September draws closer, how will they survive the end of everything they’ve come to love?
*Cadence Untouched is the first book in the Cadence duet. Cadence Defined will release on Februrary 26, 2019!
