Oh my god, this book is perfection! I've never been more in love with a couple that Logan and Ellie. I may also be slightly in love with Logan... This book didn't disappoint and was the best in the series for me, personally (even though Nicholas and Liv will always have a special place in my heart). I laughed, I cringed, I cried! This book was a rollercoaster of emotions, I definitely would recommend.
Me ha sabido a poco, y no en el buen sentido de la expresión.
Los libros anteriores tuve una sensación de plenitud mayor. Como si el romance fuera más profundo y elaborado. Este, en cambio, ha sido bastante plano.
Entiendo que los saltos en el tiempo son importantes, sobretodo al principio de la historia para demostrarte cuanto hace que se atraen esto personajes, pero a mi forma de ver, lo único que consigue es perder una gran parte del crecimiento de los personajes. Tal vez, si la historia hubiera dado un único salto (por muy grande que fuera) el la trama, la historia funcionaría mejor para mi. Y ha pasado antes, lo he leído, y se que funciona, te encariñas con unos personajes tiernos y jóvenes y después te topas con unos adultos profundos (AKA recomiendo [b:Querido hermanastro|30963844|Querido hermanastro|Penelope Ward|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1489433843s/30963844.jpg|42401641]).
Un final bonito, pero que no compensa con los fallos del resto de la novela.

I really loved this series. Bodyguard romance for the win.

Once again, this book blew me away. I LOVE this series, and I swear to god, that Shane East, who narrated all the males in this series, can melt panties just with that awesome accent… *sigh*…
I’m not even going to go into the writing, because this is the third book in the series, and it’s pretty clear that I love the writing on it, right?
I really liked Ellie and Logan already, but I was super curious to see how Emma Chase would deal with the age difference when they met, and evolve it to a full romance. I’m happy that this was a slow slow slow burn romance… as in, it took years for ANYTHING to develop. And given that when they meet Ellie is 17 and Logan is 22, this was really the only way to go, though I admit that I was shipping them by that point. But they get to know each other, and they helped each other, Ellie is a free spirit and Logan is so bound to duty and honor and to be part of something larger than himself. I loved their connecting, how they’re always there for each other, how Logan protects Ellie at all costs, even from his own feelings.
But when it finally happens, it’s glorious and amazing, and the connection that was there along turns into something exponential MORE, and it was epic.
The book takes place throughout 5 years, so the inclusion of Nicholas and Olivia and Henry and Sarah was a given, but I was so happy with the large amount of page time they got, especially with their families growing and special moments taking place.
The drama is big, but I felt it was a bit predictable, given the way the book starts, still, it didn’t take away from the main event, and didn’t deter from the story one bit.
I was truly only missing more interactions between some favorite characters. I wanted a heart to heart between Olivia and Logan. I wanted more time between Logan and Tommy, because these guys are BFFs, but because the books spans so much time, we hardly ever truly see them together. I wanted more family time with all of them.
But as you can see by my rating, this didn’t take away from my enjoyment of this book. If you have any doubts left, I LOVED IT! I think this one was my favorite one of the series.
Now I need a book about Tommy and this Abby woman. And then I think Princess Jane would have a good match in sweet Finn a few years down the road… Yeah, I can see it… she’s a brat, and he’ll be super down to earth and he’ll be such a sweet heart and pure soul, that I think they would balance each other out. Who’s with me on that one?

Title: Royally Endowed
Author: Emma Chase
Series: Royally #3
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
HEA:Yes
A princess' little sister develops a kind of forbidden romance with the royal family's hot bodyguard? Sign me up!
To say I was excited to read this book is an understatement. I have adored this series from book one and I've loved Emma Chase's books ever since I read 'Tangled'. So, of course I had to read this one!
Ever since the first book in the series 'Royally Screwed' I could see from a mile away that there was something between Logan St. James and Ellie Hammond. And if I saw it, I was sure they felt it. This book spans a number of years, from the months of when they were first really getting to know each other to years later when the attraction became too much to ignore. It was definitely a slow burn that was perfectly paced. Though at times I would yell at my book "KISS ALREADY!" I never once felt bored while reading all the moments leading up to these two finally getting together. It had everything I've come to expect from a Emma Chase book: swoon worthy romance, humor, and a lot of heart. Logan and Ellie slowly but surely fell for each other and I inevitably fell for them. It was impossible not to, they're just perfect together!
Another thing besides the amazingness of Logan and Ellie was seeing the previous couples from the series getting their moments to shine. We get a little bit of everyone: Nicholas and Olivia, Henry and Sarah, even Simon and Franny! But I have to say those Henry and Sarah moments we got were just something else. Maybe I'm biased because they're my favorites, but I couldn't help smiling like an idiot whenever they showed up in the story. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, OKAY. DON'T JUDGE ME. :P
The only complaint I can really give is two small things. I wish we'd seen more of a resolution with Logan's family. I wish there was some way he and them could rebuild things. But I guess I can understand a lost cause when I see one. And truthfully if they never change then Logan doesn't need them in his life. The other small issue I had was that I wish we'd seen more of when Logan and Ellie had first met. The story starts when Logan has to stay back in New York to keep an eye on Ellie and help run her family's bakery while Nick and Olivia are off to Wessco for the summer. I know they met before that and I wish we could've seen it. I don't remember if we saw it in book one, but either way I would've enjoyed seeing their POVs of it.
Regardless of all that though, this still was an amazing read. This whole series is freakin' fantastic! I would highly recommend to everybody to give it a go!
(P.S. Emma Chase if you're reading this I REALLY hope the series isn't over. After that epilogue, I think that Tommy Sullivan deserves a happy ending of his own. Maybe with Marlow? *wink wink*)
“You see the good in people, Ellie. You trust. That’s a good way to be, a brave way. I’ll watch more closely from now on; I’ll make sure this never happens again. You just be who you are. Leave the rest to me.”
She wipes her eyes dry. “So it’s like a … you jump, I jump, Jack and Rose kind of thing?”
“No.” I take her hand in mine, brushing my thumb against her knuckles. “You jump … and I’ll be there to catch you.”
