Fun, good quality and hot adult contemporary romance

Look, no shade to the author of this tweet (she did eventually remove it and apologize for unintentionally insulting the genre), but if you think the only authors of great, fun, good quality, hot contemporary romance are Talia Hibbert (who is admittedly awesome) and Emily Henry, then you need to branch out and read more. Specially, maybe step out of traditional publishing, because there are amazing indie and self-published authors out there writing books that readers can't get enough of. So, for today's list, I'm going to divide them up by categories. (Authors, see Sophia directly to collect your winnings) Here we go: 

Category 1:
Light-hearted, hot contemporary

Snort laughter is a danger with a few of these. Witty banter in every chapter. So much fun I'm not sure the author of the tweet can handle them. But, for everyone else: 

The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary

Rafe by Rebekah Weatherspoon 

The Brooklyn Book Boyfriends series by Kayley Loring

The You Complicate Me series by Isabel Jordan

Fast Women by Jennifer Crusie

Make It Sweet by Kristen Callihan

​Category 2:
Emotional, hot contemporary 

There might be a few tears along the way, but hey, I don't judge what others consider a "fun" read. That's kinda subjective. But these are all exceptional contemporary romances with some heat:

Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan

Rush by Emma Scott

Tied by Carian Cole

Disgrace by Brittainy Cherry

Category 3: Fun, action-y and hot contemporary romantic suspense

Like action movies, but from the female gaze. (Seriously, why can't more action movie directors do what these authors do so flawless???)

The I-Team series by Pamela Clare

Under Fire by Scarlett Cole

The Crimson Point Protectors series

But those are only a few of my faves. What about you? Any authors you'd like to add to the list? Let's discuss!
