Royally Endowed (Royally Series)

I just so love a royal story! There's something about the whole fairytale that makes me happy. Since this story was about Ellie and Logan (who we first meet in Royally Screwed), if you read in order (even though they are standalone novels) then you know they have some history and chemistry. I've been rooting for their HEA from the moment I first saw them interact in book 1! This was well paced, introduced some back story (and stated x amount of weeks, months, years etc) so you'd not get too confused with the timeline, was sweet, sexy, and swoony.

I liked Ellie's character because she was light, sweet, carefree, caring, and brought sunlight with everything she did. She was strong, courageous, and held her own, didn't take crap and also called people out on their crap.

Logan has always been super swoony, sweet, protective, loyal, and caring. I was so happy to see him fall in love, and see things from his POV.

Royally Endowed turned out to be everything I hoped it would be. A slow burn romance that never dragged on, a book full of humorous and sweet moments A book of sadness and joy, strengths and weakness, friendships, family, and love. It was a beautiful wrap up to a series I have thoroughly enjoyed and am sad to see go but so happy to see it go the way it did.

Logan, Logan, Logan F'N St. James!

This is the man we have all been waiting for, admit it, since book one you have been craving this book and the above quote is one of the main reasons why. There is no doubt in my mind that any one who picked up Royally Screwed fell in immediate and unwavering love with Logan and you have just been bidding your time through two (awesome, mind you) books to get to his story. Here's this broody, a bit mysterious, pulled himself up from his boot straps kind of guy and you know he deserves, no needs, his own happily ever after from the first moment you meet him and yet he can't have it. He can't have the one thing that could fulfill him, that could make his life complete. The reasons, because that one thing is:

1. Too young.
2. His charge.
3. Too sweet.
4. His boss's sister in law
5. The sister of the Prince's wife, the sister-in-law of the King
6. She is out of your reach

but what if she isn't. What if her sly glances, her flirty behavior, her kindness isn't just a school girl crush. What if her 'crush' last years as you watch her accomplish her dreams, watch her fall down and pick herself back up, watch her grow and mature...what if the way she looks at you like you could be the one to save her never wavers, what if you finally took the chance and gave yourself to her, what if you gave up everything you thought you wanted but got everything you ever needed back in return?

I loved watching these two. I loved watching them both grow and mature, because Logan had a lot of growing up to do himself. He may have been a hardened war hero, but that didn't mean his journey was complete. I loved seeing Ellie in a bit of a different light. We are given these ideas about her in the previous books and while she is some of those things ( I mean come on when we first meet her she is still a teen) there is so much more (yes, yes, she's an onion) underneath the superficial look we are first given.

I loved the slow burn, the years of angst and desire that build between these two. At first I thought it was going to bog me down and I'd quickly get bored of watching them play off each other but never get anyway, but Emma writes this story beautifully giving us all the time that the characters need and in a way that this our tension building right along side the characters so that when the time comes it is explosive, beautiful, (Yes, I am a woman who has never met an adjective she didn't like)heartfelt, powerful, joyous. I can honestly say that in the case of Royally Endowed there is absolutely no other way that Logan and Ellie's story could have been written. Had they come together to soon neither of them would have been in the place they needed to be to have the relationship they needed. They needed to be able to be strong for one another because their story wasn't always easy and rarely ever smooth. If they had come together when she was younger it would have felt contrived and wrong and as the reader I would have walked away thinking there's no way that couple is going to make it but now, now I can say they can weather any storm and that they will stand strong together and with their family.

Emma Chase has become one of my favorite authors. She knows how to weave the romance, humor, and poignant moments beautifully giving us stories that are fulfilling and complete. You walk away believing in the world and characters she creates and maybe feeling that in some small way they have changed how you look at your relationships. I love the sense of family she writes, the truth in family being just as much the people you choose to make your family as the ones who are born to be your family.

If you are a contemporary romance fan you can't go wrong with an Emma Chase book and this series is one of my favorites. They can be read as standalone, but you now I always feel books even like this should be read in order other wise you miss out on the little nuances, especially when it comes to Royally Endowed. There is so much history between these two and while it is not the focus of the first two books there are glimpses that I think are important to the over all story of Logan and Ellie.
Don't hesitate to pick up this book or series, I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

This was my favorite of the entire series. I just loved this bodyguard relationship. The two had adorable chemistry together.

Good & sexy read
