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).

The Thunder Rolls (The Dawson Brothers Book 8)

by Ali Parker


She's far too old for me, but age is just a number.
 
 Crazily enough, I've loved her since I was a little boy.
 
But I'm not little anymore.
 
And she's a widow now.
 
No way in hell I'm letting this chance go by now that I'm in her hometown.
 
I don't give a damn what people say.
 
The biggest struggle is to get this beautiful woman to see me as more than a rowdy Dawson boy.
 
I've got more to offer her than any man she might find.
 
Prying my way into her life isn't going to be easy, but it'll be more than worth it.
 
My heart is already hers. Time to add in my future, my money, and my body.
 
Hope she's willing to light up the night with me.
 
'Cause there's a storm rolling in.
 
Me.

The Butterfly Recluse (Contemporary Christian Romance)

by Therese Heckenkamp


Learning to love is like learning to fly . . .
Eccentric. Weird. Crazy. Whatever people call her, Lila doesn’t mind. Most of the time. She finds solace in her sheltered world by raising butterflies and surrounding herself with their gentle beauty. They’re all she needs.

Most of the time.

Until a motorcycle-riding stranger roars up her driveway, invading her safe haven, throwing her life off-kilter, and forcing her to question everything. Persistent and stubborn, Harvey Sanford may be just what she needs—or everything she doesn’t.

He’s easy on the eyes, but hard on her emotions. What exactly is he after, and what is he not telling her? Should she safeguard her heart or follow it?

As a summer wedding approaches, Lila must decide how much she’s willing to risk for a chance at true happiness. In one intense night of desperation and revelation, she must confront her darkest fears—and hopefully discover that with faith and courage, shattered dreams can be restored, damaged hearts can love again, and broken wings can heal . . . maybe even fly.

A clean, inspirational, sweet summer romance!

Recommended for fans of contemporary Christian romance authors such as Courtney Walsh, Liz Isaacson, and Becky Wade.

Yep, when shit hits the fan, I do the easy thing and run away.

Will my Prince Charming come after me?

Ever Strange (Legal Magick 1) - Paranormal Romantic Suspense

by Alisa Woods


It takes a monster to catch one.

ZANE WALKER—FBI, Magickal Crimes Division
There’s a reason the bureau sends me undercover with the worst drug cartels in the world—my magick is as illegal and dirty as the enhancers they peddle. Just the kind that "Pennies" Machnik—Dziki crime lord—likes to use on his enemies. Being his enforcer lets me keep my own monster locked up while I build a case against him. If I can bring Pennies in, maybe I can finally put the stigma of what I am behind me. But when people start overdosing on his street drugs, a beautiful witch storms in, making demands she thinks she can back up with magick. I have to make a split second choice... and the monster comes raging out.

EVER STRANGE—CEO, Strange Medical Technologies
Someone has killed my father. They made it look like an overdose, but Asher Strange, the world-renown researcher of medical magick, never took an illegal drug in his life… much less tawdry magick enhancers. I run the family empire, but no one was more proud of the Strange family name than my father. A long line of us stretches back to the first days of High Magick—no way he would throw that away chasing a quick high. But before I can get an autopsy, my father’s body disappears… and being a Level One mage and one of the richest women in the city means I will get answers.

Someone’s putting deadly magick into street drugs… and it’s killing people all over Chicago. Zane’s magick is monstrous, and Ever’s power brings out his beast. But she insists on finding her father; and keeping her safe has suddenly become his job—on top of stopping an epidemic of overdoses that just might be cover for a serial killer. Together, they work to stop the dark magick that’s stalking the streets of Chicago… and try to keep their own secrets from consuming them both.

Ever Strange is the first book in a new paranormal romantic suspense series from bestselling romance author Alisa Woods. The first three books in the series (Ever Strange, Mercy Strange, Verity Strange) follow the three Strange sisters, each powerful witches in an influential magickal family embroiled in a mysterious plot to change everything about the magickal world. Part urban fantasy, Legal Magick takes place in an alternate Chicago where High Magick returned in 1859 and is now integral in every aspect of the legal—and illegal—world. Each book is a standalone romance.

Getting Lucky Book 1

by Ali Parker


This guy could offer me the moon, and I’d hand it right back.

Never in a million years did I expect to run into the biggest crush of my childhood.

But, of course, I have.

And I’m reporting to him at the new company I landed a big-time job at.

Arrogant. Hot as hell. Total jackass.

Why he’s still single is no mystery to me. He’s not willing to settle down.

He’s always been that way, and as far as I’m concerned, he always will be.

But, boy, is he beautiful to look at. Every part of me screams "run" as my insides turn to mush.

No. Not me too…

Not again. I should be immune by now.

I know him far too well to fall into this hopeless pit of adoration again.

But maybe there’s a way around it. It’s his power that drives me over the edge of insanity.

If I were the boss instead of him, I’d hold all the cards.

Good thing I’m always up for a challenge.

Funnily enough, this guy thinks he’s going to score.

He might have to redefine what getting lucky looks like after me.

At least, that’s the plan.

This is book 1 of a 3 book series. You will have to read books 2 and 3 to complete the story.

A baby.

Alessio told me he’d changed. 

But I never expected my heart to change. 

What was going to happen now?

I’d gone undercover before, but never with the intention of getting a suspect into my bed.  

That’s how hot Sean O’Connor was.  

A criminal and yet the hottest crook I’d ever seen…so sexy he makes my mouth water and my panties melt.

I wanted to cuff him to my bed and make him sing like a bird.

I know if I’m not careful, he might steal my heart and run.

I’m a cop and he’s a crook.

And when it comes down to the wire, Sean O’Connor is going down, no matter the cost. 

 

Rescue Me

I love my life the way it is.

Maybe it’s time for a change…

 

Her perfect skin, those sparkling blue eyes, and that captivating smile.

My brain says no but my heart wants to take control, 

And that’s how she enters my world. 

A world where fighting criminals is a routine. 

But soon it got too dangerous.

Someone wants me dead.

They don’t care whom they take along the way.

Even if it’s Cici or our baby;

Now, all I know is I have two lives to protect.

 

I need to bring that smile back on her face and make her happy.

And no one can prevent that from happening. Absolutely no one!
