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).

Raptor's Peak: Switch of Fate 4

by


The Cause is recruiting.

Shifters of all species are flowing into Nantahala Forest, meeting at the Bear Claw Diner, eager to lend a paw or talon in the fight against the vampires. The Cause has already filled one magical coven house with vampire-killing witches – switches – and their leader claims more are on the way. More shifters are needed to guard them, hunt with them, and satisfy their Prowl…

Aven Kittrell, an eagle shifter, is already dedicated to The Cause. Former military with plenty of secrets in his past, all he wants is to find the coven he’s bound to, bloodsuckers to Undo and, maybe, if he’s lucky, a mate to soothe his soul. But when an old friend calls asking for a favor, Aven puts his own desires to the side. Duty calls.

However, when the favor comes in the irresistible package of Dakota Manteo, all he can think about is how they could burn the forest down with the heat blazing between them…

Dakota is a woman on a mission with no time for games. She’s a half-breed jaguar shifter, but one who hasn’t shifted yet. Not a claw or whisker. Now that she’s found out about The Cause she knows if she can only get there, she can finally be her true self.

Nothing will stop her from fulfilling her destiny, even if it means walking away from the sexiest man she’s ever met.

I didn't even try.
Anyway, it was just one night. One crazy, skin-tingling, earth-shattering night.
At least that's what I thought. Then David showed up. Again.

Not for me.
But it's not just us now. There's a family growing inside me, and I'm starting to think David deserves a chance.
