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).

Parched (Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd Book 1)

by D.P. Payne et al


A wendigo controlled by a curse. An insatiable mystery woman. One sexy, crazy ride.

Greed. For the last 4,000 years, it’s been my curse.

Every day, I live with the repercussions of the terrible choices I made.

I thought I’d seen it all…then a black aura crosses my path.

The beautiful woman it belongs to sends my world into a tailspin.

She gets under my skin, hypnotizing me with her adventurous and kinky nature. I almost forget I know nothing about her.

Thinking with the wrong head can certainly get a man in trouble, but in this case, it could mean an end worse than my curse.

***Parched contains content for those 18 years and older only. It is crazy, over-the-top, and kinky. If you don't enjoy steamy and sometimes raunchy scenes, this book probably isn't for you. Skip to Cursed, book two, which is considerably tamer but still very steamy, and start there. These are stand-alones so you can pick up any of the books in any order. ***

Girl, Abandoned

by Peter R Stone


A gripping clean romantic suspense full of twists about a girl striving to reconcile with the mother who abandoned her set against the backdrop of a city caught in the grip of an unprecedented crime wave.

When Amber Faulkner strives to honour her dying adoptive mother's last request to be reunited with her birth mother—the universally reviled politician Joan Simmons—she has no idea of the anguish and pain that lie ahead.

What dark secrets lie behind the reason her birth mother abandoned her when she kept and raised her twin sister? Why does her mother tell her that she didn't want her then and still doesn't want her now? How far will her mother go to keep Amber's true identity secret to prevent a scandal that would destroy her political career and everything she's worked so hard to build?

Why is her mother leading a small breakaway group of senators to side with the opposition to block legislation that will put over two thousand repeat violent offenders behind bars when the city is caught in the grip of an unprecedented crime wave of aggravated burglaries, rampaging teenage gangs, rape and murder?

Why is the nameless vigilante carrying out a campaign of terror against Joan Simmons and her family? Is he trying to force her to approve the legislation or does he have darker purposes in mind? Can Liam Fielder—the young man infatuated with Amber—live up to his assertions that he can protect her from the vigilante when she is caught in the crossfire?

But no matter how I feel about him, we can never be together.

You think it's bad enough being in love with your boss?
