Jasmine Guillory is a New York Times bestselling author of contemporary romance novels. She published her first book, The Wedding Date, in 2018 and quickly built a following for her warm, funny stories about Black women and their love lives. Her books are set mostly in California, particularly the Bay Area and Los Angeles, and tend to feature professional women navigating new relationships alongside food, friends, and the occasional wedding.
Her Wedding Date series, which spans seven books across 2018 to 2021, follows an interconnected friend group where each installment centers on a new couple. The Meant To Be series, published from 2021 onward through Disney Hyperion, takes a different approach, offering loose fairy tale retellings as contemporary romantic comedies. If the Shoe Fits reworks Cinderella, By the Book reimagines Beauty and the Beast, and the series continues with further reimaginings through Worth Fighting For in 2025.
Guillory has also contributed to romance anthologies, most notably editing and contributing to Black Love Matters (2022), a collection focused on Black romance. Her Southern Belle Insults novellas and the six-part Improbable Meet-Cute series round out a catalog that now covers more than two dozen titles published across eight years.
