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).

From the USA Today Bestselling author of 'Truth or Beard', this is a full-length, 110k word novel is the first book in the Knitting in the City series.
There are three things you need to know about Janie Morris: 1) She is incapable of engaging in a conversation without volunteering TMTI (Too Much Trivial Information), especially when she is unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her more than Quinn Sullivan, and 3) She doesn't know how to knit.
After losing her boyfriend, apartment, and job in the same day, Janie Morris can't help wondering what new torment fate has in store. To her utter mortification, Quinn Sullivan- aka Sir McHotpants- witnesses it all then keeps turning up like a pair of shoes you lust after but can't afford. The last thing she expects is for Quinn- the focus of her slightly, albeit harmless, stalkerish tendencies- to make her an offer she can't refuse.
JUNE 14, 2014: Sequel to Neanderthal SEEKS Human (Neanderthal MARRIES Human) is now available everywhere fine books are sold (and also likely at some pirating sites if you're an evil person and believe stealing is hunky dory).
Two weeks. No strings.
With Adam Callaway I thought I'd found the perfect fling. He was great in bed and only in town for a few hot nights.
There was no way I could have known Adam wouldn't be satisfied with just sex. My craving for his body made me careless. I broke my rules. I let him in. I never thought two weeks could change everything. All I wanted was an escape, what I got was so much more.
Something I couldn't live without once I had it.

Andrew can see the desire in her eyes and he fought too hard not to be the kind of man who takes advantage of his power.
He needed to numb the pain of his divorce through hard work. Instead of clearing out the chaos in his heart, he meets someone who stirs the darkness he thought long buried.
Vy always loved his music and now she has to deal with the man behind it.
Dark Dream is her favorite song, and Andrew King is the rock god who wrote it. This summer, she has the chance to be on his team in Illyria's most popular talent show, but his magnetism scares her. Being on his rival's team doesn't help tame her feelings for Andrew and her raging hormones.
Losing Vy from his team hurts, but it saves him from temptation... temporarily. Resisting temptation could cause them to lose each other for good.

Nothing is forbidden to this elite corps of shifter bodyguards and private investigators…except falling in love.
Good dragons? Bad dragons? Twenty-four hours ago, private chef Tessa Byrne didn’t know about the terrifying world of shifters. Now she knows too much, like the fact that a ruthless dragon lord is determined to claim her — forever. Tessa flees to Maui, where sunny skies, swaying palms, and a handsome stranger conspire to play tricks with her heart. Can she truly trust Kai Llewellyn and his band of battle-hardened shapeshifters to save her from a gruesome fate?
Don’t trust a human, and never, ever fall in love with one. Those are lessons Kai learned the hard way. But Tessa is different. Her emerald eyes mirror the mysterious pendant she wears, and her flaming red hair makes his heart race. Is his inner dragon just greedy for a new kind of treasure, or is Tessa his destined mate?

From New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown comes a funny heartache of a novel about overcoming the past, confronting the future, and defying all expectations.
Everyone is talking about Jennie Sue Baker and the mess she made of her life in New York. The former high school queen bee—and wealthy darling of Bloom, Texas—has returned home after all these years, riding on a common bus and bearing two bounced alimony checks. In a town that thrives on gossip, Jennie’s fall from grace has shamed her mother, set the town buzzing, and caused old, jealous enemies to whisper in delight. They say she’s taken a job as a housekeeper, gotten a garage apartment, and might be crushing on Rick Lawson, a simple farmer with modest dreams.
As romance starts to bud, Jennie relishes what it means to follow her heart, find real new friends, and finally be herself—regardless of all the lying town chatter. But fate has another twist in store. Rumor has it that Jennie now stands to lose what matters most…unless she can convince Rick of one true thing—and that’s love.

So things wouldn't get complicated.
So no one would get hurt.

Besides, I always was lousy at relationships.
I just never cared before.
Not until him, anyway.
Not until Carter.

Life was f*cking boring till I met her.
The raven-haired beauty on the train.
I spilled my coffee on her, and she b*tched me out.

I'll prove my love to Tamara and the twins growing inside her.
Life used to be boring, now it's a f*cking roller coaster.

I’d moved on. Until Ben Taylor walked into my camp.
I swore off men. Forever. Period. The end.
Ben Taylor was the cause - the perfect muscled military hero.
The green-eyed angel who stole my soul.
He claimed I cheated on him.
I told him I wouldn’t cheat on the man who owned my heart.
I’ve moved on. I help other women now.
Women like me whose hearts have been smashed into pieces.
I offer them the space and support to heal. One day I might even heal myself.
Six years since I last saw him – still the perfect muscled military hero, now with a cute kid in tow.
Still my first and only love.
Still the man who didn’t trust me enough to listen. The man who broke my heart.
I’ve sworn off men. For good.
And I’ve sworn off Ben Taylor.
Right?
Gage Rutherford is the perfect embodiment of a Dom, his raw sensuality and naked masculinity giving him an appeal that Emma Burke can’t ignore. Unable to resist his allure, she allows him to pull her into his world of hard-core BDSM. At first, at Gage’s insistence, it’s just sex. Sadistic, kinky sex. Hot, passionate sex. Whenever and wherever he demands it—in her office, on the dining room table, at the Renaissance Fair, in his dungeon. Just sex. Because he has no use for love or romance. Devastated by his ex-wife’s betrayal, he swears he’ll never allow himself to be vulnerable to any other woman. Ever.
But what happens when exquisite physical passion becomes entangled with long-suppressed emotions? What happens when “all that sex” exposes all those hidden hungers and needs? What happens when Emma’s growing love for Gage smashes right up against his desperate need to deny his own growing love for her?
Will either of them survive the destruction?
