As more thought was put into the categorization of romances, the Contemporary Sensual RITA® category was established in 1983, partially replacing the Category Contemporary category (the other half was Contemporary Sweet. Reflecting the trend toward longer category-type romances, the Category Contemporary style romance was further divided by word count in the 1984. This category had the first-ever co-winners in Golden Medallion history, Deirdre Mardon and Nora Roberts. The Long Contemporary category was introduced in 1985. After a relatively long run without a title change, the Long Contemporary category became the Long Contemporary Series category in 1997. The name change only lasted a year before reverting to the classic title. In 2004, the category name was refined and became Best Long Contemporary Series.
The category is currently known simply as Best Long Contemporary Romance.
