Jasmine Guillory shares her top picks, from sweet to steamy
comes from being a voracious reader of the genre herself. Growing up in Oakland, Calif., she developed a modest affinity for romance novels during summers spent at camp, but found a renewed, head-over-heels infatuation with them as an adult, where getting lost in a book served as an outlet for stress as she juggled the demands of her then-day job as a lawyer and a fledgling hobby of writing in her free time.
“I didn’t really dig in and start reading a ton of romance until I was in my 30s,” she says. “Once I started, I jumped right in and never stopped.” Through her reading, Guillory has encountered a wide range of what the genre has to offer, from bodice-ripping historical fiction to contemporary love stories, collecting insights about every trope and theme and amassing several favorite books along the way.
