C. Cooper Floyd asked Jasmine Guillory:

First of all, I love your work! I have ripped through 3 of your books already. Do you write with a music playlist? Also, where did you find inspiration for The Wedding Date, The Proposal, and The Wedding Party? When you were writing the first, did you imagine the storyline for the other two, or were you just creating this world and decided that the other two couples needed their own story?

Jasmine Guillory I often make a playlist for each book, but I never listen to the playlist while I'm writing; I listen when I'm running errands or walking around, but it often inspires new ideas for what I'm working on. And the idea for THE WEDDING PARTY came while I was writing THE WEDDING DATE; when I wrote the scene in THE WEDDING DATE that's Theo's birthday party and had Theo and Maddie interact for the first time, I thought "Oooh, these two are going to hook up later tonight!" It took a while after I finished THE WEDDING DATE to come up with the idea for THE PROPOSAL, though -- I knew I wanted to write a story for Carlos, but I didn't know what it would be, and then I suddenly had the idea and knew it was perfect for him.
