Frequenty Asked Questions
What’s inside?
A signed paperback, wrapped and ready like a present. Each package also comes with stickers and a little swag surprise to make it extra fun.
Do I get to pick the book?
Not exactly — you’ll choose the vibe (like shifters, rockstars, vamps…), but the exact title stays a mystery until you unwrap it. If you have your heart set on a specific book boyfriend, check out my signed book section. He's probably waiting for you there.
Will I get the first book in the series?
Maybe? If it isn't a book one, I'll make sure it's a book that you can enjoy without reading the books before it. All of my books feature the couple's complete story and HEA.
Can I get duplicates?
If you order more than one, I’ll do my best to avoid repeats. Because inventory changes often, there’s always a chance you’ll meet the same book twice — but I try to keep your dates fresh.
Can you personalize my book?
At this time Blind Dates ship quickly to keep the surprise factor high, so personalization isn’t included. If you’d like your book personalized, check out the regular signed paperback listings.
Will the same options always be available?
Nope — the lineup changes as inventory shifts. Once a trope or title sells out, it might not come back. That’s part of the magic.
Can I give this as a gift?
Absolutely! If you want to send the blind date directly to your book bestie, just put their address i the shipping section. They won't receive any billing info. Just a note: I can't add any gift information to the blind date books.
