This book follows Princess Olivia's younger sister Ellie and bodyguard Logan. When tasked with protecting the new princess's little sister for years, of course he ends up falling for her. And when Ellie feels the same, the dilemma ensues. Logan could lose the job he worked so hard for if he pursues his feelings. While this book isn't as good as the first two, it still holds up pretty well. There's way less smut, reading more as a contemporary romance. But that's because there's a lot of buildup to Logan and Ellie's relationship. I also love the way they ultimately got together. There's plenty of drama to go around, and we constantly get to check in with the other two couples.

Bodyguard romances are my favorite trope. This book was the perfect example of why. It spans a 5-year period of watching Logan and Ellie fall in love and line for each other. It takes a long time for either of them to admit their feelings because Ellie has a fear of rejection and Logan because he knows he’ll have to choose between her and the only job that has ever really given him purpose. It was a wonderful read. I read it in one day.

Meh
There was actually no plot to this just cute moments and the conflict that she was building do had a one chapter climax

loved both Royally Matched and Royally Screwed.  I was excited that Logan and Ellie were getting their own book.  It was well worth the wait.  What little we know of Logan St. James, from the other books, it great to finally see what he's all about.  It's  nice to see that he has hopes and dreams outside the life Wessco's Royalty. That he knows he can't be a bodyguard forever.  Of course, we can't forget about Ellie.  She  has been in love with Logan since the moment she clapt eyes on him. We get to watch how they dance around each other for years, before she finally gets the nerve to lay out on the line with him.

I have to say that this book is my favorite of the three so far. Normal people, with extraordinary circumstance, finding love for one another over a period of many years.  I love the time jump sequences, it prolonged the angst, In a really delicious way.  It is nice to see how Logan and Ellie evolve as people through all the years.  This is a well crafted story, as with the others, there is some humourous moments, as well as a good dose of suspense.  If this the conclusion to the series, it was a nice way to wrap it up.

can emma chase come up with a new series already
medium-paced
hopeful lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

I didn't like this one quite as much as I liked the previous novel. I think I just overall liked Sarah far more than I liked Ellie. I did really like Logan though, probably more than I liked Henry who had been my favourite male lead for this series so far. I guess it kind of balanced out. 

Still enjoyable and still fun. 

This book was so good! I actually started reading the Royally series because of this book. I came across it while searching for bodyguard romances and it sounded so good. But I wanted to read the whole series first and I’m glad I did because I got more out of the book that way.

In my opinion this is like my dream bodyguard romance situation. Most bodyguard romances you read are about a bodyguard who falls in love with his new protectee and act on it within days or months at most. There isn’t usually a history there and honestly part of the fantasy in my mind is the slow burn attraction that occurs over years of protecting (and being protected by) someone until it eventually becomes impossible to ignore. And that’s exactly what we get with Logan and Ellie’s romance.

They first meet when Ellie is 17 and Logan is 22. Ellie develops a crush on the dark, sexy, strong bodyguard who is tasked to protect her after her sister, Olivia, begins a relationship with Prince Nicholas. And over the years, the attraction becomes mutual until after 5 years (when Ellie is 22 and Logan is 27) they finally give in to their feelings towards each other.

It was beautiful, romantic, sexy, and dreamy.

Logan is perfect. He’s protective and loving even when he claims he doesn’t know how to love. He’s strong and sexy and caring for Ellie in every way. I just love him.

And Ellie is sweet and funny and despite having a crush on Logan, she isn’t annoying and pushy about it. She gives him space, even gives dating other guys a good try (unsuccessfully of course), and over time their relationship grows and develops into a friendship and then more when the time is right.

I loved this format for a bodyguard romance and I really would love to see more bodyguard romances like this that span multiple years so they are more of a slow burn than a fast burning inferno. It’s so much more satisfying when the couple finally comes together.

I’m so glad to have read this series. It’s such a great family to read about. I loved them! Emma Chase has a great talent for writing excellent characters, building romances gradually, and of course giving us some steamy good times as well.

And I’ll definitely be reading Tommy’s book too and I hope to see more bodyguard romances from this author. :)

I love all the Royally series books, this one had an extra kick to it, the drama is there, the romance is definitely amazing, but the extra action was a very well received plus. The audiobook is perfect, I loved it so much!
