I LOVED THIS BOOK! Logan for the win!

Review:

I LOVE this series. I was taken in from book one, mesmerized with book two and totally immersed with book three. I love me a slow burn read. An attraction that simmers, boiling over in certain situations and for whatever reason has to be saved, savored until the time is right. Emma Chase mastered that emotion in this installment, while still keeping in her humor, hot bodies and a friendship that outshines all of the rest. A connection you care about from page one, keeping your attention on nothing but what can happen next..



Logan was perfection. The broken boy, that doesn't feel worthy of the gleaming ray of sunshine known as Ellie. Loving her from afar was what he thought his life would always be. Until the tether between them got so tight it threatened to strangle them both..



Ellie..full of life, love, light and a heart that belongs to one man, Her protector, her safety the one person that puts her before all else, even when she doesn't know it. When she realizes settling isn't an option, everything comes to a head.



This series just keeps getting better, more heartfelt, stronger bonds, knowing these characters from past stories you can't help but connect right away. Loved it!

3.0

I hoped I liked this as much as I liked the first 2 in this series. Sadly it fell a little short for me. Not that I didn't like the H or the h. I did. I was really looking forward to Logan's story. But it fell flat for me.

This is the first fiction audiobook I’ve actually enjoyed!

So... a weird version of The Bodyguard?
Sadly this book lacks all the genius of the previous Royally books, and by inserting all the other couple's stories and having to account for the fact that Ellie is too young so she has to time jump along the book to make the sex between them age-appropriate it loses all the fun and narrative possibilities. Instead, it's filled with DRAMA! and uncomfortable situations. From now on the Royally series starts with Nicholas' story and ends with Henry's.

Who doesn't love a good bodyguard romance? This one had some very cute moments that made me totally swoon. I liked that he was her bodyguard for several years before anything romantic happened between them because it made their bond so much stronger, and the angst...

3.5 Stars. I didn’t care that much about Logan and Ellie, but I liked the glimpses into the characters from the first two books. Shane East was a great narrator— though his female American accent wasn’t a home run. I liked Andi Arndt for the American women but it didn’t work for the second book.

OH Logan! I have always had a thing for him right from the start and what Emma Chase gave us in this story of him and Ellie was pure magic. I love their banter with each other. I giggled a lot as these two butt heads and you really get the sense of the underlying sexual tension between these two. This book is also a very emotional one. You get to see the past players in the series as well and they just add to the craziness that is the royal family!
The overall story of this one really hits you hard. The sacrifices that are made to be with the one you love. Logan is beyond swoon worthy and Ellie keeps you on your toes every moment. I really loved the development of the Queen gramma too! She gets you coming and gets you going every single time! Overall, if you are a fan of this series, this one is a great addition and does not disappoint. I honestly wanted more!

“He’s the perfect combo of boyishly could-go-to-my-school kind of handsome, mixed with dangerously hot and tantalizingly mysterious. If comic-book Superman, James Dean, Jason Bourne and some guy with the smoothest, most perfectly pitched, British-Scottish-esque, Wessconian-accented voice all melded together into one person, they would make Logan fucking St. James.”



Synopsis:
When Ellie’s sister heads to Wessco to be with the Prince, Ellie (18) is left to take care of the family coffee shop in NY. The Prince insists his top bodyguard (Logan, 22) stay in NY and guard Ellie. Although they are attracted, their relationship doesn’t cross any lines. However, after 5 long years of constantly being around each other and suppressing their feelings, an almost tragic event tips them over the edge. But, their relationship has consequences and they must decide what really matters.

Overview:

- Setting: New York and Wessco

- Do you need to read previous books in series?: I think it would be helpful. I read previous books years ago but I forgot then and I think that’s where both of these characters were introduced. Plus, other characters from previous books are front and center in this story (Olivia & Nicholas, Henry & Sarah).
