I’ve got 99 problems, and picking the wrong guy might be all of them.
I’ve always had my royal checklist: Attend the Husband Hunting Ball? Check. Find the perfect match for a princess like me? Check. Feel zero sparks with Mr. Right (aka Enzo Revera)? Sadly, double check.
But then I meet Marco, Enzo’s charming and rugged brother. He’s everything I shouldn’t want, especially since I’ve planned my life to avoid the messiness of love.
When a twist of fate puts Marco at my side, I can’t deny our chemistry, even if he’s all wrong for a princess like me. Thrown together by royal duties and an ancient riddle, Marco and I embark on a crazy adventure that leads us to hidden clues.
As we unravel a secret that changes everything, I’m faced with a choice between duty and desire. Can I defy expectations and claim both the throne I’ve always wanted and my true love?

Below are some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Royally Matched
What is Royally Matched about?
Royally Matched is a swoony, witty royal romcom about Princess Sofia of Ledonia, a royal with a plan—and a problem. She’s all set to marry the right guy (hello, stability!), until she meets his ruggedly charming brother, Marco. Sparks fly, plans unravel, and suddenly, Sofia’s perfect royal life is looking more like a hot mess… in the best way possible.
Who are the main characters in Royally Matched?
Princess Sofia of Ledonia is smart, polished, and not about to let love ruin her carefully curated royal checklist. She’s the kind of royal who follows the rules, or at least she is until she’s thrown together with Marco, the brother of the very boring (and very wrong) Enzo Revera, whom Sofia thinks is her perfect match.
Marco Revera is everything Sofia shouldn’t want: rugged, outspoken, and absolutely off-limits. As the younger brother of her fiancé, he’s not even in the running for “Mr. Royally Approved.” But fate keeps throwing them together. Cue the banter, the chemistry, and the slow burn.
Is Royally Matched part of the Royally Kissed series?
Yes! This is book number 2 in the Royally Kissed series, where each book follows a different royal sibling from the fictional kingdom of Ledonia. While Royally Matched can be read as a standalone, you’ll enjoy it even more if you’ve read the others.
Is Royally Matched a closed-door romance?
It is! Like all of Kate O’Keeffe’s romcoms, Royally Matched keeps things sweet and swoony. There’s loads of romantic tension and a delicious slow burn, but all steamy moments happen off the page.
What tropes are in Royally Matched?
If you love tropes (and who doesn’t?), you’ll find these favorites:
- Forbidden love
- Falling for the wrong brother
- Royal romance
- Love vs. duty
- Opposites attract
- Forced proximity
- A quest (with riddles and secrets!)
Does Royally Matched have a happy ending?
Of course! This is a romcom, and you’ll get a satisfying, feel-good HEA that will make your heart sigh and your cheeks hurt from smiling.
Where is Royally Matched set?
The story takes place in the modern-day (fictional) European kingdom of Ledonia, where royal duties, palace drama, and age-old secrets are just part of the job description.
Do I need to read the other Royally Kissed books first?
Not at all! Royally Matched stands on its own, but if you want to dive into the full royal family drama (and romance!), you’ll love meeting Sofia’s siblings in the other books.
Where can I get Royally Matched?
Royally Matched is available on all major paperback book retailers, in ebook on Amazon and on Kindle Unlimited, and an audiobook is in production now, expected to release in late-2025
