A king and his future queen meet on their wedding day.
Too bad it’s hate at first sight.

Ariana

Twice before my father tried to marry me off, and I left those jerks at the altar. But my ruthless new husband rules everything he sees, and suddenly that includes me.

His cool indifference, along with the dangerous spark between us, intrigues me, but I’m over the whole idea of marriage.

As soon as the ink is dry on our marriage license, I’ll plot my escape.

Damien

My new wife is a spoiled brat who thinks she can play me, but she has no idea who she is dealing with.

True, she’s a beautiful distraction, a pawn in my game.

An heir is the only thing I require from her, and I relish conquering my virgin queen.

The problem is, it leads to me wanting more from her, and that’s not the plan.

Regardless of what the matchmaker says, a royal marriage should be marked by strategy, not love.

So I will offer Ariana the one thing she can’t resist… Her freedom.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Arranged marriage with suspense and action.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020
    This is a thrilling action packed, page turner with secrets, lies, hate, betrayal with a well-deserved HEA. The characters are well developed and the plot and story line are filled with twists and turns and revelations. Damien and Ariana are both forced into their arranged marriage and Damien is cruel, indifferent and cold towards Ariana, he keeps her hidden and confined to the palace and treats her abysmally. Mixed in with the arranged marriage, we have a power struggle between the advisors and a deadly plan to take over the kingdom.

    I never warmed up to Damien's character but I loved Ariana. Ariana has a sad history and when she tries to escape he locks her in the basement with very little food, comfort and no personal contact and ends up nearly destroying her. When he releases her she basically becomes his doormat, throws herself at him and does anything just to have a little freedom and sunshine. He continues to tread her badly, ignoring her and only using her to satisfy his needs. In my opinion even after she tells him about her mother he never redeems himself and I was NOT ok with him as a man, hero or king. Ariana was the loving giving one that pretends what he did, did not matter or happen and I can't believe that after what her father did to her mother she still allows him near.

    The authors portrayal of the supporting characters is excellent and supports and elevate the plot. It was a good read even though the injustices against Ariana still bothered me even after the epilogue.

    I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2024
    Damien is a King that is having trouble with his border and by marrying Ariana (who is a princess) he can have her father help in this matter. Ariana has runaway twice before marrying, but Damien makes sure she goes through with this. Damien makes a deal with her father to give him certain monies per month and he helps him keep his border good. Ariana tried to figure out how to escape from him, but fails. Damien also has two people working for him or are totally against him and has been lying to him for a very long time. They get along okay but there is still a lot of growing that has to come. Damien is not much of a talker so Ariana finds it hard to learn about him. They finally make a deal in which they both agree upon, but fate has other plans for them. The book was good and I enjoyed reading it.

    3.0 out of 5 stars All's well that's ends well but getting there was ridiculous

    I just have to say that what the king did to her after she tried to run away was ridiculous!! It made me want to throw my Kindle! I was just not ok with that kind of action from the H! It ultimately worked out but only because they basically act like it never happened and she pretty much throws herself at him from then on!! It made her look like doormat and I think the story could have had more depth it there feelings for that particular incident we're explored further! It really was anger inducing! I hated it!

    4.0 out of 5 stars I want more
    Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020
    I was completely hooked into this story Ariana was likeable and relatable in her actions and once you find out the real reasons behind those actions they become even more compelling as for Damien he was more of tough shell with a soft heart fighting to break out I did feel his character could've used a little tweaking but overall he was charming and realistic I did knock a star off because there's a couple scenes mostly towards the end that fell flat they borderline with making sense and being confusing especially the prison scene the characters gave in too easily to the situation that it didn't fit their characters or the story even after the amount of background we were given in an attempt to make sense of things it just didn't work and how things unfolded with the bigger problems I felt was a reach that tried to hard even with those minor issues the book was engaging enough where i deffinetly want more

    5.0 out of 5 stars Third time is the "I Do" .... but will it stick?
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2020
    Royal Runaway Bride is the third book in the Royal Matchmaker series and is the story of Princess Ariana and King Damien. Ariana is a Princess who has made a habit of running away from the alter, as fast as her high heels can carry her. This has happened twice now but the third time her father is determined to keep her locked up and under guard until she says "I Do" and there is no running. This is a marriage is a business deal for Damien as he needs an heir and is not looking for love. For Ariana she just wants her freedom so she hopes that if she gives him what he wants then he will give her what she wants. Well a girl can hope anyway. But things take a decidedly different turn from the start as they banter back and forth and their attraction sparks off the pages. In the end Damien is going to get a whole lot more than he bargained for and Ariana discovers that maybe freedom can be found in different ways.

    I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

    4.0 out of 5 stars fun story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2020
    Overall I enjoyed the story. King Damien and Princess Ariana had some rough spots and each had their own baggage that they brought to this arranged marriage. I liked Ariana in the beginning, but after she tried to run away it was harder for me to enjoy her character. I really wanted more from Damien, I thought that there could be more to his story than what was given. I would have liked to see them handle the "run away" part differently, but in the end all worked out and that incident was forgotten. This book is the third book in the series, but the first one I read. I plan to go back and read them so see if there was something that I missed in this story. I am excited for the next book to come out.

    When she ran away, she knew then that she had feelings for Damien. So glad they finally said I love you and will live happily ever after. Love McKenna’s books.
