Contemporary Romance 40 authors

Contemporary romance is the beating heart of the romance world: modern people, real-world settings, and the guaranteed emotional payoff of a happily-ever-after. It runs from laugh-out-loud rom-coms to high-heat drama.

Emily Henry's witty beach reads, Ana Huang's billionaire romances and Colleen Hoover's emotional rollercoasters show the spread. Expect banter, longing, tropes deployed with skill — and an ending that delivers.
