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).

Real Men Howl (Paranormal Shapeshifter Werewolf Romance) (Real Men Shift Book 1)

by


Mason’s inner wolf will go crazy without her. Lucy thinks he’s already crazy. Werewolves aren’t real. Right?

Lucy Morgan left Ashtown, Georgia, ten years ago and planned to never return. Unfortunately, life didn’t get that memo. She’s back and now painful memories follow her everywhere. Until she meets him. Mason Blackwood is over six feet of sinfully gorgeous man who—for some reason—wants her. He also thinks he’s a werewolf so… yeah. He’s crazypants. But when he wants to have his wicked way with her, his sanity doesn’t seem all that important anymore.

Mason isn’t sure how much longer he can remain Alpha over the Blackwood pack. Without a mate to balance him, his wolf snatches more control every day. It won’t be long before he loses himself to the animal entirely. Then he meets Lucy—a sassy, curvaceous beauty who calms his beast with a smile. One sniff is enough to tell him she’s his mate, and nothing will keep them apart.

Not even the pack’s deadliest enemy who’s determined to kill Lucy before Mason can claim her.

Dark Dream (Love in Illyria Book 1)

by Adalind White


Andrew can see the desire in her eyes and he fought too hard not to be the kind of man who takes advantage of his power.

He needed to numb the pain of his divorce through hard work. Instead of clearing out the chaos in his heart, he meets someone who stirs the darkness he thought long buried.

Vy always loved his music and now she has to deal with the man behind it.
Dark Dream is her favorite song, and Andrew King is the rock god who wrote it. This summer, she has the chance to be on his team in Illyria's most popular talent show, but his magnetism scares her. Being on his rival's team doesn't help tame her feelings for Andrew and her raging hormones.

Losing Vy from his team hurts, but it saves him from temptation... temporarily. Resisting temptation could cause them to lose each other for good.

"Dark Dream" is the first part of the "Dreams Duet" which starts the "Love in Illyria" series. The BOOK ENDS WITH A CLIFFHANGER, which is resolved in a HEA in "Light Dream"

This is a slow burn romance. Both characters fight very hard to contain the intense sexual attraction. Sparks fly, but the sheets don't catch fire. The vivid sexual fantasies they have during this time will be available separately, in a book that will have graphic descriptions. This book is a new adult romance, about a nineteen-year-old girl's first crush on a rockstar in his mid-thirties.

Good dragons? Bad dragons? Twenty-four hours ago, private chef Tessa Byrne didn’t know about the terrifying world of shifters.

Tessa flees to Maui, where sunny skies, swaying palms, and a handsome stranger conspire to play tricks with her heart. Can she truly trust Kai Llewellyn and his band of battle-hardened shapeshifters to save her from a gruesome fate?

Don’t trust a human, and never, ever fall in love with one. Those are lessons Kai learned the hard way. But Tessa is different.

Small Town Rumors

by Carolyn Brown


From New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown comes a funny heartache of a novel about overcoming the past, confronting the future, and defying all expectations.

Everyone is talking about Jennie Sue Baker and the mess she made of her life in New York. The former high school queen bee—and wealthy darling of Bloom, Texas—has returned home after all these years, riding on a common bus and bearing two bounced alimony checks. In a town that thrives on gossip, Jennie’s fall from grace has shamed her mother, set the town buzzing, and caused old, jealous enemies to whisper in delight. They say she’s taken a job as a housekeeper, gotten a garage apartment, and might be crushing on Rick Lawson, a simple farmer with modest dreams.

As romance starts to bud, Jennie relishes what it means to follow her heart, find real new friends, and finally be herself—regardless of all the lying town chatter. But fate has another twist in store. Rumor has it that Jennie now stands to lose what matters most…unless she can convince Rick of one true thing—and that’s love.

The raven-haired beauty on the train.
I spilled my coffee on her, and she b*tched me out.

I don't know if she's f*cking with me, or if it's something deeper.
But I'm going to find out.

I was hurt once. Never again.

I'll prove my love to Tamara and the twins growing inside her.
Life used to be boring, now it's a f*cking roller coaster.

Redemption

by Amy Brent

 

I’d moved on. Until Ben Taylor walked into my camp.

 

I swore off men. Forever. Period. The end.

 

Ben Taylor was the cause - the perfect muscled military hero.

The green-eyed angel who stole my soul.

 

He claimed I cheated on him. 

I told him I wouldn’t cheat on the man who owned my heart.

 

I’ve moved on. I help other women now.

Women like me whose hearts have been smashed into pieces.

I offer them the space and support to heal. One day I might even heal myself.

 

Six years since I last saw him – still the perfect muscled military hero, now with a cute kid in tow.

Still my first and only love.

Still the man who didn’t trust me enough to listen. The man who broke my heart.

 

I’ve sworn off men. For good.

And I’ve sworn off Ben Taylor.

Right?

Mastering the Professor: Complete Novel, Books 1-7

by

Gage Rutherford is the perfect embodiment of a Dom, his raw sensuality and naked masculinity giving him an appeal that Emma Burke can’t ignore. Unable to resist his allure, she allows him to pull her into his world of hard-core BDSM. At first, at Gage’s insistence, it’s just sex. Sadistic, kinky sex. Hot, passionate sex. Whenever and wherever he demands it—in her office, on the dining room table, at the Renaissance Fair, in his dungeon. Just sex. Because he has no use for love or romance. Devastated by his ex-wife’s betrayal, he swears he’ll never allow himself to be vulnerable to any other woman. Ever.
But what happens when exquisite physical passion becomes entangled with long-suppressed emotions? What happens when “all that sex” exposes all those hidden hungers and needs? What happens when Emma’s growing love for Gage smashes right up against his desperate need to deny his own growing love for her?
Will either of them survive the destruction?

Isla Lennox is the best interpreter aboard the Alliance ship Argo -- if the captain would ever give her a chance to do her job. When he finally does, Isla's big break turns into chaos and panic as she and all the female crew members are traded to an alien ship in exchange for the Argo's safe passage. The giant Xaravian warriors are intimidating, covered in scales, and... way too attractive. Isla and her friends won't surrender quietly, but it seems like the Xaravians are looking forward to that kind of fight.

The moment Vaant sees the beautiful, sassy interpreter, he knows he can't leave her in danger. She thinks he's a pirate and a dangerous rebel -- and that he bought her and her friends. Vaant must prove his honorable intentions, even as her flashing eyes and curvy figure drives him mad with desire. He'll even endanger his ship and go to the edge of the universe to keep her safe.

When her former captain frames Vaant for destroying an innocent ship and murdering another crew, Isla must face that the Alliance she served so proudly is not what it seems. Starting a new life as a rebel with Vaant sounds more and more appealing, but first they'll have to fight through half the Alliance fleet, escape a crumbling space station, and find love among the stars.

He's everything I'm not. He's everything I hate. And now, he's everything I hate... to love.

My best friend's older brother is a huge rockstar now. If he believes that lets him get away with screwing over his family the way he did, he's wrong.

I always hated what he did to them. I always hated him.

But then he shows up again. A different man from the one I remember. He's humbled. Grieving.

Lost.

And suddenly I’m singing a different tune.

Instead of shouting, I’m saying, “touch me.” I’m saying, “kiss me again.” I’m saying, “please… please.”

I’m saying, “I had you all wrong. And I’m sorry."

But I want a future and there’s no future with Jonah King. I’m a small-town kindergarten teacher and he’s a big time celebrity. We come from different worlds.

But the music we make together is too beautiful to ignore.

Lavinia and the Laird (Bluestocking Brides Book 0)

by Samantha Holt


“I’m not certain any man could ever tame those appalling Chadwick girls. Even if that one daughter does marry, it would take a brave man to suffer the rest of the family.” – Lady Worthington, Marchioness of Langbury

At least according to her mother.

She will definitely not marry a Scotsman.

According to her mother.

But, first, Lavinia must do her duty and help entertain a famous author visiting their sleepy village. With the help of her sisters, she’s been tasked with ensuring his stay goes perfectly. Unfortunately, her sisters are more of a hindrance than a help. So is her attraction to the braw laird who has come specially to see his favorite author.

However, her sisters are certain that this rough Scot is good for her and set about ensuring their clandestine budding relationship thrives. Of course, with sisters like her, she could just as easily end up ruined and disappointing her whole family.

Amelia and the Viscount (Bluestocking Brides Book 1)

by Samantha Holt


“No eligible bachelor wants to marry a bluestocking…especially not those frightful Chadwick girls.” – Lady Jersey, Almacks Patroness.

Amelia’s writing was often prone to getting her into trouble. Hence why she eventually took on a penname. But it seems, once again, her unthinking need to spill out everything onto paper will land her in hot water.

After her sisters persuade her the only way to get over her love for Lord Nicholas Wentworth is to write about him, Amelia devotes hours and hours of ink to the subject. However, she never expects for Nicholas to end up in possession of this information. How could she admit her affection for him when she knows full well he is still in love with her now married sister?

To save herself embarrassment—and more importantly to keep her penname hidden—Amelia must find a way to intercept these letters, and if she cannot, she must persuade Nicholas it was all some awful jest and that she is certainly not A. Hardwick—purveyor of stories so scandalous that it would mean utter ruination for all the Chadwick girls should the truth come out.

The Crazy Girl's Handbook (The Handbook Series 1)

by DelSheree Gladden

Watching her two nephews and a puppy named Thor for the weekend was supposed to be fun for Greenly Kendrick. Sweating to death at a never-ending baseball game while getting gum in her hair, soda down her shirt, and an ice cream pedicure wasn’t part of the deal. Neither is finding out the best blind date she’s ever stood up is there to witness it all.

Longest. Weekend. Ever.

Except it doesn’t stop at one crazy weekend. Embarrassment turns into mortification, a head wound, and being patch up by her amused knight in shining armor.

Roman Carpenter can’t help laughing at Greenly’s mishaps, but for some reason, he sticks with her through it all. At least, until his ex-wife shows up and starts causing trouble. What started off as a strange, yet promising relationship, might be able to survive spiteful exes, but adding in a stalker that puts everyone on edge and pulls the police into the mix, might push everyone past their breaking point.

The Last Girl

by Susan Ward


We were a scandal waiting to happen. But I didn’t care.

For years my life had already been an unending downward spiral. Then my grandfather, Jack, gave me an apartment no one knew about. A secret bequest after his death, and the brief note that accompanied the gift sent me running to Italy.

I’d gone to Venice to find peace, knowing I was weak, and instead I found him.

He was magnificent, brilliant, jaded, and white-hot danger. I was consumed by him as I’ve never been by anything or anyone. Vibrant and unrelenting wakefulness burned inside me when he was near.

And he became everything I craved and all I lived for.

She wasn’t the right kind of girl for me. In fact, Khloe was the type that could cost me everything. The bonds on me weren’t shackles a man could break free from. Having her as my lover was allowed. Wanting her was foolish. Loving her—agony. And we would become each other’s most private big little lie, filled with us and desire.

Letting go of us was inevitable, even as it tormented me to tear us apart.

THE SAND & FOG SERIES is about the Manzone family, filled with passionate loyalty, enduring hope, and forever love.

Each book in this series is carefully written so that you can understand and not feel lost even if you haven’t read the other books in the series. You can start the Sand & Fog Series with The Last Girl. But be warned: the characters cross-over from book to book and it’s easy for readers to fall in love and become addicted to my other spunky heroines & swoon-worthy heroes and binge read for days!
