Logan has been assigned to watch Ellie as she is Princess Olivia's sister. There is an attraction there but they won't/can't act on it. The story jumps from months to year. I get why the author did it but it was hard for me to connect to the characters at first. Once they spent more time together I ended up loving them as a couple. Logan never thought he was good enough for Ellie and she made sure he knew what his worth was. There is one scene in the book that made me swoon and I knew Ellie was the perfect match for Logan. They balanced each other out and gave the other what they needed in life.
I also loved how we got to catch up with the other couples, especially my favorite couple Prince Nicholas and Princess Olivia. Nicholas just keeps getting better and I LOVE the love her has for Olivia. Henry is just as funny and charming as ever. This series has been one for the books! I loved the stories, the writing and the feel good feeling I have after reading these stories. Whenever I read these books it's like reuniting with old friends. I have read several books by Emma Chase and she definitely knows how to keep the reader entertained. I smiled, laughed, had my heart slightly broken and swooned all while reading this book. I love it when an author can make you feel a slew of emotions without it being too over the top.

Very sexy, and the slowest of burns! I'm pretty sure we were at least at 60% before we started talking about sex. But the characters were enjoyable and fun. The thriller/suspense part of it was really quick and not really anything big, but that's to be expected in a romance... Very enjoyable!

I love this series! This book did not disappoint. It's quite brilliant.

***A Review, really, of all three books in the series.
This book MUST be trolling its readers. . . each book in the series is a bit more problematic than the last. Each MMC goes through some kind of crisis in masculinity: under the thumb of a leading woman (book 1), loss of free will (book 2), an failing as a protector (book 3), and in each book the masculinity in crisis is reaffirmed and stabilized through a fragile and hapless/helpless victimized FMC. And honestly each book gets more and more disturbing, until we get to this last book where all of the FMC from all three books are spun into uber-fragility: an emotional pregnant with twins Olivia who is hunted by a stalker; a PTSD and crowd shy Sarah who is struck dumb and helpless when confronted with her abuser; Elly who cannot do a single thing for herself except cutely sing in the kitchen--and apparently breed boys (at the end of this book she has dropped out of college, and is LITERALLY pregnant with her third boy, dancing barefoot in a kitchen making breakfast.
Yes, you read that correctly: barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.
And on one hand, kudos to Emma Chase if this is a class critique ("Oh you like royalty--let me show you what eroticizing that kind of power means"), but if she is not offering this as a staggering critique of Royalty narrative, then. . . ooof, what a disappointing conclusion to a series that started compellingly.
Andi Arndt and Shane East are always good--but it is also clear that East recognizes this shit-pile because his narration is over-the-top machismo.

If you’re looking for something sweet, light, and sexy to read, this book is it. Silly, predictable, and delicious.

A fun, fast read. This novel had a slightly different approach, as it covered a long period of time (5 years) and showed the changes in their relationship over time. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer.
