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).

Fighting for Her

by Amy Brent

I was an MMA champion until a sucker punch from a sadistic opponent ended my career for good.
I have everything a man could wish for.
Women are drawn to me like moths to a flame, like magnets to steel. I could have a different woman in my bed every night if I wanted. Hell, some nights I have two or three.

Then I meet her, Fiona, the tall blond who hypnotizes me with her eyes and mesmerizes me with her body. She makes me feel things no other woman has ever made me feel. In bed, she rocks me like a punch to head and leaves me flat of my back begging for more.

But she has a secret, something she isn’t telling me, and when I discover what that secret is, people are going to get hurt. Some who deserve it, some who do not. Either way, I’m willing to fight for the woman I love, even if it turns my brain and heart to mush.

Played

by Colleen Charles

Would you sell your soul to save your daughter's life?

With my NHL career ripped to shreds by a devastating knee injury, I've hit rock bottom.

Dead Ass Broke.
Divorced.
Single Dad.

My new life isn't glamorous and people love to judge and label. The groupies have dried up and all that remains after my ex-wife stole all my money and left the country is my hell hole of an apartment and a beat up car I won in a shooting contest my rookie year. But none of that matters to me. It's all about my precious little girl. My heart. My soul. She's sick and she's hurting. There's a special trial at the Mayo Clinic but it costs six figures. I'm uninsured, and the only thing in my bank account is a string of zeros.

So when temptation makes its siren's call inside a hotel bar. I answer. How hard could it be? Escorting rich, powerful women around town? Besides, I'll do anything.

Anything.

My daughter's uncertain future hangs in the balance. A simple mistake invites a ghost from the past back into my life. She's only a name and a beautiful face in a photograph on a computer screen. Until she isn't. Something about her is so familiar.

Tempting me.
Threatening to destroy me with one look. One touch.

It wasn't supposed to turn into this. She's a trick. A sexy means to a desperate man's end. In spite of the raging chemistry between us, she's veiling her angel's light behind an icy exterior. And she's got her reasons to hide. Especially, from a man-whore like me. I've been reduced to a pathetic shell of the man I used to be. I'm someone who could drag her down from her ivory tower running one of the most powerful tech companies in the world into the cesspool of my meager existence. And I can't. I won't.

We both know this is a one-time thing. No repeats. Bought and paid for in a simple transaction. But I don't think I could ever be finished with her. She calls to me, salving my pain and despair with her kindness and vulnerability. But even she can't help me and my beautiful Jessica. No one can.

Coming up with the money's all up to me. Saving my daughter's life is all up to me. And come hell or high water, I'll get it done.
