Fun book! Read it out of order but will go back and read previous books immediately!

Logan, oh my Logan. How well do you belong on my book boyfriend list. He’s protective, possessive, and sweet. I could keep going with adjectives—tough, smart, noble, etc. The man is sex on a stick. I just melted. Ellie’s a lucky lady. She’s quirky, sweet, and ready to take life by the horns. I loved her lemon philosophy. I may have to adopt it. These two have a long journey to take and I loved watching the evolution of their relationship. They are incredibly well-written, complex and well-developed. And I loved seeing all the couples from the first two books.

I loved this book. There is some drama but it works with the plot and helps move the story forward. Despite spanning five or so years, it moves pretty quickly. I don’t mind the time jumps because it allows us to have the history we need for their relationship. Royally Endowed is sweet, sexy, and funny, with a dash of the forbidden. Emma Chase has figured out the formula for the perfect blend of humor, heat, and heart that’ll leave you wanting more.

I’m seriously hoping this isn’t the last we’ll see of Wessco.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

*SPOILER ALERT*

He estado aplazando este review por tanto tiempo que en un inicio, no recordaba de qué iba el libro.

La verdad es que la serie Royally, ha tenido sus altas y bajas para mí, siendo este libro el punto más bajo.

Mi gran problema aquí no fue la historia, ni siquiera los tiempos, lo que me hacía dejar el libro por grandes periodos de tiempo era que los sucesos se llevaban a cabo en el pasado. Creo que lo he dicho en un par de ocasiones, pero es que en serio encuentro aburrido leer lo ocurrido en otro libro desde otra perspectiva. Además, el tiempo en el que estaban separados me pareció más que el que estaban juntos.

Si a eso le sumamos lo mucho que me frustró que el decidiera que valía la pena estar con ella, la verdad es que el resultado es un libro bastante flojo, falto de la creatividad aplicada en los primeros dos libros, y sobre todo en el segundo.

Por otra parte, ambos personajes me gustaron, creo que tienen buena química y en serio que estaba muy emocionada por saber qué iba a pasar con Ellie. Desde el primer libro la amé, y creí que su libro iba a ser mi favorito. Es una lástima que no sea así.

En mi opinión, debido a que al inicio tenemos un fragmento del libro, poco antes del final, uno se puede imaginar hacia donde va el plot y eso le resta emoción.

A pesar de todo esto, me gustó el final y tengo ganas de leer el siguiente libro.





★4.5 STARS★

Describing Logan St. James as a fit as f*ck bodyguard is both accurate and a gross injustice the man behind the uniform. Being raised in an underprivileged area with a family that prides itself on their rap sheet, has not stopped Logan from living a life he is proud of. His role as personal bodyguard to the Royal family is one he is honoured to do and gives him a sense of purpose in life.

By personal request of the King, Logan is asked to watch over the Queen’s younger sister, Ellie. Much like myself as a reader he is instantly amused by her quirky personality and vivaciousness. They strike up a friendship that over the years transforms into a relationship filled with angsty forbidden undertones. And I dear reader could not get enough!

Having a sister who is The Queen has opened doors Ellie had daren’t peek behind. For starters there aren’t many girls her age that have their own personal bodyguard. Far be it of Ellie to think of Logan as that though. He quickly became her friend and closest confidant, and now as young woman his role in her life has changed once again.

The slow burn in this novel is the stuff dreams are made of. I was positively itching for these two to get together, but with a chilling outside threat made against The Queen, scratching that itch could dire consequences for all.

Royally Endowed is the third edition to series which you’d think would get harder for the author to top. Instead we get more laughs, bigger swoons and a wealth of smouldering steam. In short, Emma Chase writes an utterly delightful romantic comedy that I could not put down for love nor money.

Logan is no Prince Charming, but he comes pretty close. He's a lover, a protector and fighter. As Ellie discovers, loving him is anything but easy, yet she can't seem to help herself. With Royally Endowed, Emma Chase gives readers the sweetness of a fairy tale, the thrill of adventure and the heat of an erotic novel. Ms. Chase makes sure that readers never give up the fantasy while delivering a taste of real love.

Ok--I rounded up from 3 to 4 stars for Logan. His and Ellie's story really takes place over five years, from when he first met her as a high school senior, staying behind to keep an eye on her while Olivia was in Wessco with Nicholas. It's cute watching Ellie crush on him and him trying not to break her heart, then struggling not to give in once she's old enough (around 20, while he is, I believe, 25?), because that would just complicate things all around and he'd feel like he let Nicholas down. The contrivances make sense, given their backgrounds and issues--Ellie struggling with a grieving alcoholic of a dad growing up, and Logan growing up with a family of criminals and dirtbags. The epilogue is sweet. Shane East gave him a stronger accent in the first book in the series to differentiate from Nicholas, and it kinda comes in and out here, which is a shame, as Shane is British and can do different regional accents. But he's still amazing to listen to.

Ehhh...this was probably my least favorite book out of this series, but it was still cute nonetheless! I enjoyed reading Ellie's story, but it was so hard to change my mindset - I was still viewing her as "Olivia's little sister" instead of a grown adult. Her immaturity did shine through at times, but I did enjoy her positive outlook on everything. Logan was also a "hit and miss" for me. Sometimes a freakin' adored him, but others I thought "really? -_-" I also didn't like that we had to wait until almost 65% through JUST to see some interaction between Logan and Ellie that was more than friendly. Overall - I did enjoy this book, it wasn't as good as the first two, but it was still cute!

I will admit that this was my least favorite. There was a lot of time lapses and sometimes I felt like we were getting off course. Not really building the chemistry. But the second half of the book made up for it. Still loved it

I really loved this book. It's been a long time since I've read a bodyguard romance that doesn't devolve into frequent and inconsequential boinking from the get-go. The stakes are always pleasantly high in Chase's books, and despite their outward appearances, her characters are always wrestling with big choices. I knocked it down one star because a later plot development involved one of my least favorite plot twists
Spoilersex in a public place and being discovered. This is particular out of character for the hero who has a sensible and protective streak a mile long. I really hated seeing it appear in a book that otherwise was a 4 star read for me.
