Jasmine Guillory Books in Order (Updated 2026-02-02)

Jasmine Guillory writes contemporary romance with a strong “friend-group” feel. Her books are easy to enter, but order matters inside her shared-world titles, because later stories casually reveal who ended up with whom.

If you want the cleanest experience, use publication order. If you want the fastest on-ramp, follow the “Start here” notes under the list.

How her catalog is structured

• Shared continuity: The Wedding Date (one world, recurring cast; best read in order).
• Separate continuity: By the Book (part of a different multi-author project; stands alone from her romance universe).
• Direct character bridge: Drunk on Love → Flirting Lessons (the latter is most satisfying after the former).
• Optional side work: short stories, audio drama, and nonfiction/anthology contributions (separate from the romance continuity).
