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).
KYLIE
My boyfriend introduced us.
He was handsome, charming, and sweet. We were friends.
Now everything’s changed.
When I see him, my heart hurts knowing I can’t have him. When I don’t see him, it hurts even more.
My boyfriend is supposed to make me feel protected. Make my body ache for his touch.
But it’s not my boyfriend who makes me feel that way.
It’s his father.
I gave her a job to be nice.
She was the perfect fit for my company. I had no idea she’d be the perfect fit for me.
Every day we spend together, it gets harder to say goodnight.
I can’t touch her. She’s twenty-four and I’m forty-nine. And she’s my son’s girlfriend.
But he’s not treating her right. And I know I would.
She just asked me what she should do about their relationship.
What am I going to tell her?
A television dating show? What sensible woman does that?
But for a shy submissive, five weeks on a reality show might be a bad decision. One decision is easy, however: the Dom she chooses won’t be an actor.
Dex Hampton… successful film actor, coveted bachelor, and England’s sexiest export, but for this mysterious, reserved Dominant, fame isn’t a goal. Finding the right submissive is his top priority, and he’ll do anything to get his girl.
Jake Sinclair’s golden good looks and rakish Aussie charm fuel his flourishing acting career. He does his own stunts and tackles life full on. He’s achieved everything he’s ever wanted, except finding the right submissive. When he sees Sophie, nothing will stop him from winning her. Not even the competition of his longtime friend and fellow Dominant, Dex Hampton.

Raine Quinn was a huge disappointment to her haters.
She wasn’t supposed to make it out of Waco, TX.
She wasn't supposed to land even one acting job. And she sure as hell wasn't supposed to fall in love with her best friend.
Will Callahan liked to call himself the younger, hotter Shatner, minus the ham acting and distracting toupee. He loved everything comics, he loved playing the hero of the beloved, defunct space western, AURA and he loved his best damn friend, Raine Quinn.
Raine and Will shot up the Hollyweird ranks together. They became stars, Geek legends and over the years, family. But one night, with the meddling of their dearly departed friend, too many shots and too much time reminiscing, Raine and Will cross a line...and it’s one they can’t jump back over.
Their love is destined to shatter the boundaries of time…
Archaeology grad student Alexandra Larson’s world is turned upside down when her mother shares her deepest, darkest secret—that she doesn’t know the true identity of Lex’s father. The revelation sparks a change within Lex, and her dreams become far too real. She sees things she shouldn’t be able to see…knows things she couldn’t possibly know. Terrifying things. Deadly things.
To distract her from the surreal changes taking over her life, Lex leaps at the chance to join an Egyptian excavation run by Oxford’s enigmatic Professor Marcus Bahur. But the distraction might be more than she bargained for. While deciphering the secrets of a mysterious stone tablet, Lex falls headlong into a prophecy created by a dying god over four millennia ago. She must rely on her frightening new psychic powers to dig up the truth. And it doesn’t take long for her visions to convince her that both Professor Bahur and his excavation are much more than they seem…
The past clashes with the present in this paranormal tale of ancient prophecies and warring gods. If you like Egyptian mythology, steamy romance, and headstrong characters who won’t give up until they discover the truth, then you’ll love the first installment in author Lindsey Fairleigh’s sprawling time travel adventure.

High school friends - nothing more.
That was our promise to each other, because let's face it, infidelity spreads like a disease.

Maybe I'm meant to save him.
Raze Dumont
Tonight of all nights, she had to crack her head on my doorstep.

My clan is coming for me. Well, they can have me. But I'll be damned if I let them touch a hair on her precious head.

Seven Nights of Shifters Series:
Sheltered by The Bad Bear (Raze & Maxine Monday)
Marked by a Billionaire (West & Tuesday) (COMING SOON)
They called her the Gladiator Queen, the first female heir to the throne of Norihame. Leyli never wanted this, but her cousin's scheming left no other option. He'd killed her brother, trying to claim the throne for himself, and sold her off to be a gladiator, hoping to get rid of her. It didn't work. Now, she'll do whatever it takes to make sure Palino can't destroy the country her family fought so hard to keep safe.
On the sands of the arena, death was honest. Men fought for their lives and nothing else. In the palace, everything is different. The threats are veiled in fancy clothes and whispered rumors. Spies lay in wait around every corner, bribed with promises of power and wealth. Once, she thought this was normal. But no longer can she care about petty scandals, not when her citizens - her friends - are dying because of laws her family made.
To win this game, she has to keep her cousin far from succession. The best way is an heir of her own. She needs a noble husband who won't kill her in her sleep and -- hopefully -- one who will ignore the hulking shadow of her best friend turned bodyguard. She never expected Tristan to become a weapon that could be used against her. How much of her own happiness will she give up for Norihame?
The game is King of the Hill. The music for their dance is made of politics. Fate gave her a chance to change everything, but he's a fickle god. Leyli has to get this right. She may not be on the sands of the arena, but she's still fighting, and the Wolf of Oberhame will not be defeated.
A cougar holiday fling romance
I'm thirty-four, almost divorced, and lusting after a guy ten years younger than me. I wanted to get away from my old life, but falling for Jonah hardly seems appropriate.
He's the sexiest man I've ever met, though, and I'm not the only one who can't keep my hands to myself. A little fun never hurt anyone.
We'll go our separate ways at the end of the weekend, when his holiday is over. Wanting more, from the private man with secrets he won't share is madness. Even knowing that, I can’t stop wanting him.
Will he break my heart? Probably. Will it be worth it? I wish I knew.
“OMG!! this book was wonderful!!! It had just the right about of drama and romance.. not to mention the smutty parts :)” ~AmyH, Goodreads reviewer

Grand Rapids was my saving grace. My new job and my best friend kept me grounded, and far away from my past. This was my new life. And I was safe.

He was begging for me to take his bait, and I wanted to…
Until he found me.
My heart raced…

And the air was stolen from my lungs.
"Brooke Page not only delivers a suspenseful, erotic tale, but balances it incredibly well with a refreshing amount of humor and heart break. I'm excited for book 2, eager to discover what's next for Mitch and Jamie." -USA Today & New York Times Bestselling Author Angela Graham
"Hide by Brooke Page is a great example of what romantic suspense should be. The plot is intriguing, keeping you on the edge of your seat, while also giving you two main characters that you know will be great together.

This is a great read that I'd definitely recommend."- Amazon Bestselling Author Isabel Lucero

This book is Romantic Suspense at its finest. Not to mention all of the sassy wit, loving romance and smoldering passion between the two main characters."- Hooker Heels Book Blog
"The suspense in this book was well written. As a reader you were captured in the moment and the need to know what had happened to lead everyone to where they were. The way that Brooke wove the story of Jamie's past through what was happening in the present grabbed me throughout the entire book." Red Hot Romance
