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 Billionaire's Unexpected Wife #1

by Ali Parker


As soon as I saw her, I knew I had to have her.

I thought this Vegas fundraiser was going to be boring—another obligation to keep the family business alive.

Boy, was I wrong.

I don’t remember anything about the night we spent together. But now we’re married.

Only problem is, I don’t believe in true love. And she doesn’t seem to, either.

But this could work out for both of us.

I need someone to stop my traditional Greek family from nagging me about settling down, and she could use some cash for reasons she doesn’t care to disclose.

I know a good deal when I see one.

This is book 1 of a trilogy. You will have to purchase book 2 and 3 to finish the story.

His only clue to the thief's identity–a dish towel from the White House kitchen.

White House pastry chef Marin Chevalier desperately needs a date to her cousin's society wedding. Unfortunately, her busy schedule leaves her little opportunity to meet eligible men. When a sexy Secret Service agent shows up in her kitchen—and just about everywhere else she goes—Marin believes she's finally met the perfect date. But when a series of frightening accidents and near misses plague her, Marin must rely on Griffin as more than just her "plus-one."

As dead bodies begin to pile up around Marin, Griffin is convinced she’s the link to The Artist. Too bad the curvy chef has gotten under his skin like no other woman. When the clues finally fall into place and Griffin realizes Marin is not the suspect, but instead the target, he'll risk everything in his arsenal to keep her safe.

Asking For A Friend: A Single Mom BBW Romance

by Ali Parker


I always get what I want. Every time.

But not with her.

The beautiful woman my father forced on me through our billion-dollar firm has curves that make me ache.

Never in my short life did I imagine falling for her. Office romances are forbidden in my company.

But she’s a rule breaker. I guess I am too, but no one knows that side of me.

This single mother with brilliant business sense has a side hustle and still kicks ass at my firm daily.

There’s no way in hell she’s giving in. No matter what I try.

Not even when Valentine’s rolls around. And I pull out all the stops.

Her denial has me needing her like I’ve never needed anyone else.

Where this girl is concerned, I’m not asking for a friend.

I’m asking for me. For today. Tomorrow. Forever.

But they can't quite bring themselves to take it seriously. They go on sending each other endless and endlessly hilarious e-mails, discussing every aspect of their personal lives.

Meanwhile, Lincoln O'Neill can't believe this is his job now—reading other people's e-mail. When he applied to be “internet security officer,” he pictured himself building firewalls and crushing hackers—not writing up a report every time a sports reporter forwards a dirty joke.

When Lincoln comes across Beth's and Jennifer's messages, he knows he should turn them in. He can't help being entertained, and captivated, by their stories. But by the time Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth, it's way too late to introduce himself. What would he even say...?

She Sins at Midnight

by Whitney Dineen


". . . a hilarious cat fight with a Hollywood starlet and her award-winning romance novel nobody knows about. This fun, quick read examines the envies and dissatisfactions in women's lives, reassuring readers that no one's life is truly perfect." --Kirkus Review

"She Sins at Midnight is clever and disarming. It's a very enjoyable, feel-good book and you don't have to be a chick to have a blast reading it. It's most highly recommended." -Readers' Favorite

Lila Montgomery, thirty-two-year-old Hollywood assistant extraordinaire, has a secret. On the outside, she’s a hard-working dedicated employee, a good friend, and a loving daughter. But above all else, she’s been raised to be a lady, which of course is why she’s determined to conceal her secret life. If her straight-laced friends and family back home ever discover that she is really the smashing new author of a steamy romance novel, their disapproval would shame her forever! That’s why Lila has chosen to publish her sexy narrative under the nom de plume, Jasmine Sheath.

With her fifteenth high school class reunion on the horizon, Lila finds herself at a crossroads. More than anything she wants to go home and see her childhood friends but is embarrassed that she hasn’t accomplished the things she feels she should have by this time in her life; mainly marriage and children.

After another brutal run-in with Melinda Forrester, Oscar nominated actress and client of her boss, Josh Furber, Lila decides that fleeing Hollywood for a month is the best thing for her. Lila packs her bags for her childhood home of Bentley Hills, sure that her friends and family will be the touchstone of normalcy that she so desperately needs. What she doesn't expect is that Melinda will follow her and a tabloid media circus will ensue!

Not only does Lila discover that her home is nothing like she remembers, but she meets and falls in love with the very man that inspired the hero in her novel.

She Sins at Midnight is full of laugh out loud hijinks that will make you never look at Hollywood the same way again!

Author, Whitney Dineen, swears that this novel is based purely on fiction and that any characters bearing any resemblance to any celebrities you know are completely and totally fictitious; even though she spent eighteen years in La La Land, with a celebrity client base for her real job…
