This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
I saw this book at my library for audio and I just had to grab it up and man I don’t know why I took so long to read or listen to this book since it was fantastic and I loved seeing the development of this romance and it was a bit different than I was expecting. Its a slow burn romance that happens over a five year period and I really liked how Emma Chase handled it. Normally I am not a huge fan over a romance that goes such a long distance of time, I like something more quicker paced, but I did enjoy the dynamics that Emma Chase introduces to us here.
Our story starts our with a intense scene of the persent where we get the hint that something is terrible wrong and then it takes us back five years where our hero and heroine first meet. Logan and Ellie. Ellie is the sister to the heroine of the first book “Olivia’ and with her sister marrying a royal prince, Ellie’s life could be in danger because of the connection and since she is still in high school, she is assigned a body guard “Logan” who is also very good friends with Nicholas and understands his duty despite his strong attraction to Ellie. But he knows that she is off limits first her age but also the fact that she is Olivia’s sister and he is just a bodyguard who grew up in the slums but wanted something better out of his life especially after seeing his family still living there and how their lives have gone down hill.
The story begins with Logan and Ellie both have a attraction to each other, but its pretty much forbidden but they become good friends. Ellie is full of life and energy and a bit clumsy at times, but has such an open heart and loves everyone. Logan is determined to protect her even from himself. So he keeps his attraction at bay, and seeing her graduate from high school and then go through college and now she is back with living with her sister at the palace who is heavily pregnant and Ellie is bound to prove to Logan that they are worth fighting for and the love they have had for each other for years.
What a fantastically well spun story and with Emma Chase at the helm there is no doubt that it would be. I simply adored seeing this book come to fruition and the development of these two characters. I adored the ways that we see their attraction for each other and how they keep their chemistry at bay because of the difference of age and their circumstances. But what I really enjoyed is that Ellie doesn’t ever look at Logan as less just because he is a bodyguard or where he grew up and she tends to be a bit protective of him at times and I loved what a wonderful partner to Logan she is.
Another fun aspect to this book was seeing some old favorites have some action in this book, we get to see both couples from the first two books play a role and also the “grandmother” who is the Queen and boy she is a piece of work but I also really admired her too at times even if I felt she was a bit too self righteous. But boy seeing these couples grow and seeing what fun this family has together is so endearing and it was placed in the story to really balance it all out.
Overall I found Royally Endowed to be a stunning romantic tale that gives us a slow built emotional love story that is packed with emotion, witty laughter and enough drama to get you feeling all the feels!!WELL WRITTEN AND I can’t recommend this book enough!!

"Because he’s gorgeous, but even more than that—he makes me feel wanted. Valued and important, like I’m someone worth protecting. Knowing this man would give his life to shield me, guard me from pain or danger—it’s a heady thing. An arousing, stirring thing. "
3.5 "The Bodyguard" stars.
This was so enjoyable! I adore Emma Chase's Royally series it honestly has a special place in my heart at this point. Its just the perfect blend of funny, sweet, romantic and steamy coupled with smooth and steady writing. I was highly anticipating this book and it was good!
This book is about Ellie Hammond, Olivia's sister from the first book and her romance with the royal bodyguard Logan St. James. Their story takes place over a couple of years (Ellie is 17 and Logan is 22 dw nothing happens until later) where we get to see how they slowly but surely started and grew their romance.
The pacing of this book was so great, at least for the first half of the book. I love reading about them when they were younger and watching everything just grow. I enjoy the Dual POV, thats my book catnip.
But sadly enough I started to disconnect from the story around halfway to 2/3 into the book. Around the time the whole secondary conflict rolled around. It was so cringe to me MILD SPOILER -->(there was a crazy stalker guy threatening Olivia and co. ) This conflict cheapened the the rest of the book for me :( It made things seem like a bad lifetime movie.
I also felt like there was something missing with Logan's character. But at the same time I think I would have enjoyed this book at a different time..so this is a classic case of "its not you its me" because I did rather enjoy it.
Besides the bad plot devices I loved Ellie's character, it was a highlight for me. I really sympathized with her. Every time that she talked about how Logan made her feel safe and cared for in the beginning I honestly shed a tear.
I loved being with her on her journey from teen to adult.. all the while longing for Logan it was so sweet. This was a cute conclusion the the series <3
We get to see a lot of action from the previous couples as well which was a huge plus.
I'd give the beginning of the book 4.5 stars and the rest 2.5 so it averages out to 3.5 total.
I enjoyed learning about what happened to the rest of the characters and Logan and Ellie in this one.
