The Matchmaker’s Mix-Up series by Elissa Strati has a fun premise: a matchmaker who keeps getting things wrong. Each of the 18 books follows a groom who ends up with a bride he did not expect, thanks to the matchmaker’s errors. The titles describe each bride with a colorful adjective, from Conner’s Contrary Bride to Ransom’s Rowdy Bride.

Published between 2020 and 2022, the series gives each couple a built-in source of conflict right from the start. The men have to deal with brides who are bookish, forgetful, stubborn, skeptical, or just plain contrary. Of course, these apparent mismatches turn out to be better pairings than anyone expected. It is a lighthearted take on the mail-order bride genre that leans into humor and personality clashes.
