3.91 AVERAGE


Logan was a pretty good characters and I liked Ellie as well. The structure was just a bit weird, but I understand having to do all the time jumps.

4-4.5 stars/5 stars

It's been a while since the last books in this series, so I don't remember everything. But I thought this book was wonderful. I liked Ellie and I liked Logan and loved their interactions and them together. It was also nice to see the whole gang again.
This is a slowburn romance. But well worth your time. There were a few very funny moments.

If you liked the previous books.. then what are you waiting for? Get reading!
If you haven't read them, I would start with book 1.

I wonder if there is going to be another book involving Tommy.
funny lighthearted fast-paced

There was a moment while reading Royally Screwed that I had to stop reading and pull up Goodreads to see which characters would get the next two books in the Royally series. I was only vaguely excited for Henry's book — yet wound up loving it — but I straight up yelped and cheered when I saw Logan and Ellie would be paired up in Royally Endowed. There was something about the chemistry between them that had me shipping them from the start. Waaaaay before I probably should've been, to be honest. I loved knowing they would be end game and I was very much looking forward to their story. And guess what? It was everything I wanted and more.

Ellie and Logan had this great slow burn thing going on and this book covers quite a span in time. I'm not usually big on when there are large jumps in time while I'm reading, but it worked really well here. I feel like they had to advance it some for it to feel "right" to root for Ellie and Logan. It was delightful to watch how they grew — and how things grew between them — from bodyguard to friend to much more. The whole progression just felt so real. I was so here for it, too. 

While I loved each of the couples in the Royally series, there was just something special about Ellie and Logan and their story. Maybe it was because we knew them for such a long time in book world? Or maybe it was just because they were who they were. The Duchess's little sister and one of the Duke's body guards? The one who just happened to be keeping her safe, too? Perfection. I couldn't get enough of their chemistry and banter in the beginning, innocent as it was at the time, and loved the passion later even more so.

I love the woman Ellie became during this series. Logan was super freaking swoony and amazing, too. Together they were basically perfect. Their story was so sweet and fun and sexy, with all the feels I want in my reading. I loved it so much. I can't wait to see what comes next in this series!  

FAVORITE QUOTES

I love caffeine. Love it. The high, the rush, the feeling that I'm Wonder Woman's long-lost cousin and there ain't shit I can't do.

Somebody once told me a slow-burning fire is the hottest—and it must be true. Because Logan and I are a fucking inferno.

"I'll give it to you sweet, Ellie. I swear I'll make it so fucking sweet you'll ache... but now I just... I need..."

Life changes us, with its twists and turns, in ways we don't always see coming. It changes what we want, what we dream, lays blessings in our hands better than anything we could've imagined.

This was my favorite out of the series. I liked Nicholas and Olivia's story, but wasn't as excited about Henry and Sarah's. I didn't follow through with this one right away because of that lack of enjoyment and because at the time, Ellie was still in high school and I was very meh about reading a romance for a girl in high school.

Loved this story. I didn't mind the time jumps and was glad that the author allowed the heroine to age. The author did a good job of showing Ellie mature, which was mostly reflected in her decision making. I enjoyed Logan as a character, also. I think the story stayed very true to who they were from the beginning. It figures that the story I like the most out of a Royals trilogy is about two characters that are not born into royalty.

Emma Chase never fails me <3

This book follows Ellie, the younger sister of the first book's protagonist. The book covers five years of her life, starting when she's seventeen and meets her bodyguard Logan for the first time, and ends when she's twenty-two and out of college.

One of my main criticisms of the book is that the main couple were seventeen and twenty-two when they met. Logan was immediately attracted to her but knew it wasn't alright, so he spent half the book ignoring his attraction and budding feelings for her. The only thing that make it less icky was that he continued to tell himself that he couldn't act on his feelings even as she turned nineteen, then twenty, then twenty-one... but, really, couldn't she have started out at eighteen? It would have made the power dynamic feel a less odd, and as a twenty-three-year-old woman I couldn't imagine being attracted to a seventeen-year-old.

ANYWAYS, that was basically my only criticism, and once I reached the point where she was twenty-two I no longer felt weird about their relationship (mostly because she's the one who spends most of the book pursuing him). I love a good bodyguard romance, and this one was perfect—it kept it sweet and spicy while walking the line of romantic suspense at times.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spiciness:

This was a really cute story. We read the story of Nicholas, who was supposed to be king, and Olivia, the American he met while on vacation. Then we read the story of party-boy Henry, who will now inherit the throne since Nicholas gave it up to marry Ellie, and the super shy Sarah. This one is about the bodyguard Nicholas left behind in the US to watch over Olivia's sister, Ellie.

Logan has watched her grow from a teenager into a beautiful young woman, and she's made it clear she wants him, but he thinks she's destined for a royal match of her own, so he tries to back off. Ellie is very sure of herself, however, and once they cross that line and it's as great as they thought it could be, things change. Logan can no longer do the job he was so proud of because his focus will be split. But when it really counts, he comes through for Ellie and the rest of the royals in a really big way. It was good to watch Ellie grow into a responsible, smart young woman, and it was also good to see Logan admit that he'd turned his life into something really great as well. The two of them together was super sweet.

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.

*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.
