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).

Can the Ladies of the Wagering Whist Society help an impoverished modiste win the hand of a sought-after Duke?
Tina Rowan is beautiful, talented—and wants nothing more than to be free of her past.
The illegitimate daughter of a baroness, she is being blackmailed by her own foster father. She must rely on her flair for designing dresses to earn enough to pay him off. Starting a business dressing the ladies of Regency society isn’t easy for a nobody. But Tina has three aces up her sleeve—her own amazing talent, her well-connected biological mother, and the helpful (if meddlesome) support of the Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society.
The handsome, arrogant Duke of Warwick has grown up schooled in the “proper” way for a nobleman to behave. Rule number one: do not fraternize with people of the lower classes. But when he has to introduce his beloved sister to society, he finds himself completely reliant on the beguiling woman he’s hired as his sister’s modiste. To his astonishment, he finds himself opening up to her and enjoying her company far, far too much.
When Tina discovers the true man behind the ducal title, her heart might very well be lost. But can the duke set aside his façade and allow himself to love the only woman who could possibly make him happy?
It will take the combined efforts of the Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society to see this difficult hand well played.
If you love a Cinderella story complete with a noble hero who will do anything to win the heart of the woman he loves, this book is for you!
Two things I didn’t expect to happen to me over Spring Break at Chicago North University:
1. Getting knocked out by a baseball.
2. Getting knocked up by a baseball player.
Hunter Novak. The most valuable player in college baseball. Home Run Hunter himself.
But that’s not the name he gave me when he took me home from that bar a few months ago.
We’re strangers. Now, we’re having a baby together.
So, we’re going back to first base.
First date. First kiss. First everything all over again in the hope it leads to... first love, I guess?
Our baby deserves a family. A real family.
Can me and my one-night stand be a home run?
Or was it all just a major foul?
Home Run Baby is a steamy stand-alone sports romance guaranteed to tug your heartstrings. This new second edition includes brand-new and extended scenes not available in the original version.
Step #1: Refuse my marriage proposal
Step #2: Get a new job
Step #3: Take my eyes off my hot new boss
The first two steps were fairly simple, but it’s obvious that I have zero control over my own eyes.
In my defense, I didn’t know that he was my boss when I first saw him.
I had no idea that he was a millionaire and a former marine pilot.
But the thing that shocked me the most was worse…
Our story took a sharp turn when he needed a fake wife for the sake of his family inheritance.
And by now, it was obvious that I loved the smell of trouble.
Yes, I agreed to be his fake wife.
But being pregnant with his twins wasn’t part of the plan.
Neither was falling madly in love with the way he looked at me.
Step #4: Stop expecting to have a real family with my hot boss slash fake husband!
Fall in love with this deliciously sinful, kindle melting hot, and forbidden temptation from Sofia T Summers. No cheating or cliffhanger – EVER.

Getting fired and dumped in the same thirty seconds makes for a pretty bad Tuesday. But by Thursday, I'll be in Vegas celebrating my brother's wedding. Since I could use a fresh start, he offers me a place to stay with a buddy of his.
At the bachelorette party, a raunchy game results in a quest to find me a one-night stand. When a hunk with dark blue eyes and perfect bone structure hits me with a silly line at the bar, my mission is complete.
I vow to move on from our steamy night as I head to the rehearsal dinner, certain one of my brother's hot pro football player groomsmen will be my Prince Charming.
Then the best man turns around. Dark blue eyes. Perfect bone structure. A body I won't soon forget.
And apparently my new roommate.
HOME GAME is the first book in the VEGAS ACES series. This series must be read in order.
I was leaving the diner when
Trouble fell right into my arms.
I should stay away from her, but I’m drawn to her.
A bad accident cost her a leg and her college career.
She’s independent and fierce and doesn’t want my help
Our first kiss at the bonfire was incredible.
The connection between us proves this is no fling
This chemistry, this intimacy — irresistible.
A setback in her recovery
Makes me determined to protect her, to let her know
She’s the only woman I want.
One geology intern who desperately needs to be rescued from a hostage situation. One billionaire who has the capability to save her life. Two people who are inexplicably drawn to each other even though they have almost nothing in common.
Although this story is part of The Billionaire's Obsession series, it is the first book of the California Billionaires and can easily be enjoyed as a standalone billionaire romance.
Taylor
Just when I thought I was destined to die in a foreign country after being kidnapped while doing a geological exploration, a mysterious rescuer shows up just in time to save my life.
Unfortunately, my liberator also happens to be the co-CEO of Montgomery Mining, my employer, and a billionaire with an attitude.
At first glance, Hudson Montgomery seems like the quintessential gorgeous billionaire with plenty of money to burn, and no concern for anyone but himself.
The arrogant billionaire I could handle, but I wasn't quite so sure how to deal with the amazing guy I discovered once I looked past the superficial exterior. The one who stayed by my side as I recovered mentally and physically from the trauma of being a hostage.
There was so much more to Hudson than just billions of dollars, a prestigious last
name and a very handsome face.
When the white-hot chemistry between the two of us finally explodes, do I trust the man I've come to know, or do I accept that Hudson Montgomery is the same guy the rest of the world sees?

But being a hybrid or a halfling, things just get worse. We don’t fit in anywhere, our powers are thwarted or out of control, and everyone wants us dead.
Can we overcome these trials…or are the odds stacked too high against us? We’ll risk it all—even our lives—to find out. And hope we don’t die trying.

Recently divorced and suffering from the world's worst case of writer's block, Caden is in Angel Falls to get his life back on track. He's focused on teaching and providing a stable and loving home for his young daughter, Ava.
