Who is this for?
Whether you're buying for your favorite spicy reader (and that reader can most definitely be YOU), your romance-loving mom, or the nana who prefers her wolves with abs—Mate Match is a joyful surprise every month. If they love swoony heroes, steamy stories, and gorgeous signed books, this is the perfect gift.
This is a gift. How do I let the recipient know?
You’ll receive a downloadable, printable PDF immediately after purchase—perfect for tucking in a card or forwarding by email.
Is shipping included?
Shipping is calculated at checkout.
Can my Mate Match be personalized?
They're wrapped and signed in advance, so personalization is not available. If you'd like a personalized book, please choose one of my non-Mate Match/Blind Date with a Book titles.
Will I receive the same book twice?
Nope! Kristen makes sure a different book boyfriend is sent every time.
What if the recipient already owns the book?
Mate Matches are chosen to surprise and delight. Because each book is a mystery, we’re unable to offer swaps or refunds if the recipient already owns the book.
What is a Mate Match?
Mate Match is a book selected by Kristen to be sent to you--you won't know which book you'll receive until you unwrap it. These may come from any of my steamy shifter romance series, and include discontinued titles and covers--true collectors' editions! You may not receive book 1, but don't worry-- all books chosen are stories that stand on their own.
Are these refundable?
All Mate Matches are final sale. Please contact kristen at kristenstrassel dot com if your package is lost or damaged. If your Mate Match arrives damaged, please include pictures of the damage. If a replacement is approved, the same book will be resent--no substitutions.

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.
