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).
Waiting for the right guy.
Ella Couture didn't mean to save herself. But success runs in the family and Ella, a fiery and self-made interior decorator, never wanted to settle for anything less than a quality man.
But another disappointing breakup has Ella flirting with idea of a meaningless fling -- because this whole v-card business has gone on for way too long.
When Ella visits her brother Lance for the weekend, she finds herself all alone with his teammate, Ryan. The rugged hockey star is tall, chiseled and gorgeous -- and based on his past, he won't get attached.
It's a nice fantasy ... but Ella isn't the type of girl to sleep with her brother's best friend.
That's what she keeps telling herself, anyway ...
Live by the code, die by the code.
On the ice, tough guy Ryan Ryder enforces the code of the game with his fists. And he won't let anyone mess with the team's superstar center, Lance Couture.
Ryan might sleep around, but he knows to keep his distance when Lance's sister visits the two roommates at their Boston condo. The code has a rule about family members, after all: they're strictly off-limits.
Not that Ryan's worried about breaking that rule -- he's already heard an earful about how insane his best bud's younger sis is.
But Lance never said anything about Ella being a cute babe with an adorable laugh.
And he definitely never said anything about how she's finally ready to lose her v-card ...
But if Ryan can't keep his hands off Ella, not only will he stab his best friend in the back -- he'll ruin everything he's worked for.
So why can't he get that girl out of his mind?
Forbidden Puck is a 60,000 word, slow-burn hockey romance! This stand-alone novel is the first entry in the Boston Brawlers series. Narrated in alternating first person. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA guaranteed.
I’m a fighter, not a puppet warming a fancy chair.
The great Council of Unnaturals has been around since the beginning of time, each member replaced by their eldest child when the time comes.
And my mother is the head of the Oasis.
Her eldest? Well, that would be me.
But I’m not interested. I’d rather live above ground.
Besides, there are much better things to do with my time, like saving a family of shifters, keeping humans from causing mass extinctions, and fighting back demon hordes.
Magic is my weapon of choice, and I wield it with precision.
But my people are relentless and send a small group of handsome men to capture me. An angel, a vampire, and a wolf.
Someone should have sent some luck along with them.
Before long, I’ve pulled them into cause—rescuing a family of shifters who’ve been attacked in their home.
We work to get the teenage kids who’d been kidnapped back, but a dream pulls at me.
My people in the Oasis are under attack.
Surely not.
If I leave, the kids will die, but if I stay, all I’ve ever known could be destroyed.
There is no right answer, and yet, I’ve gotta make my move.
My mother would be so proud.
This is book 1 of 4. There will be a cliffhanger and you will need to read the other books to finish the story.
Still reeling from the unexpected sale of the land she and her horses live on, horse rescuer Kelsey Blaine is frantic when she comes home to find her possessions already boxed up and her house being bulldozed without any notice. Normally calm and kind, Kelsey becomes furious and impulsively cuts a privacy fence to confront the culprit–her mysterious neighbor, Joe.
Joe Kilcoyne is in a desperate place. He guards his secrets and hides from the world for a reason. He's the hottest topic of speculation around Whiskey River, but no one has ever dared to get close to him. That is, until fiery Kelsey comes barging straight into his life.
The last thing Joe needs is for Kelsey to breach his defenses and make him confront his past. But when her sunny, open, and determined personality collide with a haunted man with no idea how to reconnect with the world, the sparks that ignite shock them both.
Readers who have enjoyed the emotional, heartfelt stories of authors like Jodi Picoult and Nicholas Sparks may enjoy "this great read about life, love, and the consequences of choices and actions."
A contemporary romance for anyone who's ever believed that true love never leaves our hearts. . .
People say you can’t ever go back. That some of the things that happen to us simply cannot be redone.
But the paths of a life journey are rarely straight. They twist and turn and wind back across those once visited and long thought to have faded from existence.
Becca Miller has lived her life trying to do the right thing, even when its cost has been giving up the boy she loved and wanted to marry. The sacrifice she made for her sister isn’t one she regrets because there was no other choice for her to make. And for eighteen years, she lives this choice with full commitment and as little looking back as she can manage.
When Matt Griffith returns to Ballard County for the funeral of his grandmother, the path that had seemed so straight begins to loop back and take her across feelings she thought she had put away for good. As it turns out, those roads we’ve traveled do not fade at all. They simply wait to be retraveled, leaving us with the decision to follow them exactly as we did before, or make a different choice and find out where it will lead us. (Previously titled Crossing Tinker's Knob.)
"I don’t want to do an “actual” book review for this because it doesn’t need spoilers, it doesn’t need me to tell you what’s going to happen; YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! It’s the epitome of women’s fiction. I’ve never read a women’s fiction book that I was so consumed by. Please take a few hours, a few days, whatever you need and read this book. It’s one my most favorites for 2014." - Shannon Daniel - Amazon Review
"This book moved me in ways that I find hard to explain in this review. The only thing I can compare it to is another book I read that also moved me in ways I couldn't explain - Night Road by Kristin Hannah. Ms. Cooper's writing is rich and descriptive; you can see and feel what the characters see and feel." - Amazon.com Reviewer ButtonsMom2003
"Oh wow...I just finished and am sitting here stunned by the depth of this story...I have had so many emotions rung out of me by these characters. Ms. Cooper's ability to capture so many characters individuality is storytelling at its best and says much about her talent as a writer!" - Amazon.com Reviewer S. Schwartz
"Crossing Tinker's Knob is one of those sit down and read it until it's done kind of books that takes you through the life of a young woman who gave up her true love to help her sister through a tragedy. You will be pulled into the story and find yourself rooting for the characters as they all face the consequences of decisions made 18 years ago. Life and love always find a way." - Amazon.com Reviewer K. White
