A slow burn yet smokin’ hot romance with hysterical dialogue and full of utterly heartfelt moments, Royally Endowed was everything I love about Emma Chase’s writing all in one magical, fairy tale-like story.
I was so happy to see Ellie and Logan get their much deserved HEA in this installment of the Royally series. Ellie made me giggle in previous books with her spunky attitude and her quirky personality. And honestly she was exactly like I pictured her. Fun, flirty, but surprisingly grounded and intelligent, I loved her naivety and how she held on to a sense of wonder and innocence even when being thrown into her sister Olivia’s chaotic life as a new royal.

Logan St. James just wants a second chance. Ellie Hammond grew up listening to some of the same music I did. Might just have to listen to some of that music as I read this story. It’s a great way to get the reader involved – sort of. She’s a very likeable character and you want the best for her.
The author was sweet to show her readers how these two first meet. I hope you laugh as much as I did. I liked that our author gives the reader the background on how these two came to be over time. This way we’re not trying to figure out how things came to be.
I’m so glad that I was able to continue this series – loving the humorous aspect. But there is some mystery and serious moments as well. Just when you think that the author would be tying things up she adds in some tension that has you not wanting to blink in case you miss something. As you can see this is a story that builds over time so make sure to get comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my time getting to know our main characters as well as the family around them. Before the end there is the perfect sentence. The sad thing is that there is no hint as to what the author has planned for her readers next.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Emma Chase saved the best for last!
Of all the books in the Royally trilogy, Royally Endowed is my favorite and it's about the Royal bodyguard Logan St. James and Olivia's younger sister, Ellie Hammond.
Logan St. James is a brooding, sexy and thoughtful hero. Before he became a bodyguard, he's a military man who grew up in a bad neighborhood. He left home and vows not to be like his family who involve in unlawful acts. Despite of his family background, it wasn't a hindrance for Prince Nicholas Pembrook hiring him as part of his security team. He trusts his abilities and dedication in protecting the royal family. So, he gave him a new assignment: To be Ellie Hammond's bodyguard.
Ellie Hammond is a feisty, carefree, self-reliant and responsible heroine. At a young age, I like her time management on studying and running their bakeshop. She handles these responsibilities so well and it's admirable. She may encountered struggles along the way and instead of wallowing, she embraced it with positivity. Having Logan as a bodyguard somehow paved her exhaustion. He initiatively lends a hand when needed and he has been her companion. As days went by, the friendship between them grows so as her crush on him. She dreams that like her sister, she'll have her own happy ever after and hopefully it will be Logan.
These two first met during Royally Screwed and I love the forbidden slow burn romance going on between them. It went on for years making their chemistry ignited with passion and absolutely swoon worthy romance. The protagonists have wonderful developments both individually and as a couple.
Ellie turns into a beautiful and spontaneous lady. She's optimistic, brave and honest. She'll not think twice of protecting her love ones even if it's risky. Not that she's reckless. It's impossible not to admire her fighting spirit. I have so much respect for Logan. He's a total BABE. He knew Ellie has a longtime crush on him and the feeling is mutual yet, he fought his attraction for YEARS because Ellie is too young that time and he must focus on his job. So, he decided to wait for the right timing and when they FINALLY get together… OMG. I can't help squealing with happiness! The sexual tension.. More sexual tension unleashed!! I SWOON!
It's also nice to see the other couples from the previous books. There's Prince Nicholas, Lady Olivia, Prince Henry and Lady Sarah and there are sweet and supportive with each other. This royal modern family is solid. One for all, all for one. I'm surely going to miss them all. Even my favorite witty Franny (she never fails to make me laugh out loud!).
Royally Endowed is a splendid series wrap up. Every chapter is worth devouring and perfectly adorable. The epilogue brought me tears of joy and it's definitely included on my favorite books of 2017. If you haven't read this series, what are you waiting for? Go for it and prepare to be swooned!

Liked all the characters but felt like this book was a bit bookended into the other two stories (without having read the earlier books), explaining how this story fit into the timeline of the other two books through frequent time jumps that were a little irritating. Ending was underwhelming.
Agh, I'm a bit disappointed. I loved Royally Screwed, I loved Royally Matched. But it feels like Royally Endowed was just not enough.
I thought that this would be the story I'd love the most and be the most involved in. I think, though, there was too much focus on the past and the drama of not being together that the romance got lost and the chemistry between Logan and Ellie got lost.
And I was not a fan of the twist at the end. Or maybe it's the fact that the prologue in the beginning ruined it.As soon as they mentioned Olivia's stalker, I knew what Logan would see. And we know that Logan and Ellie eventually get together because Logan is there to apologize. I just... there wasn't any tension.
I'm interested in reading Chase's other series, though, since I've heard they're good.

“Love isn’t a cure; it doesn’t magically solve every problem. But it makes solving those problems worth it. Love is our inspiration, our motivation . . . and our reward.”
Royally Endowed was truly a charming installment in this series. It was cute and flirty with that sexy twist that Emma Chase is so good at writing. Logan was an excellent male lead but I think Henry might still be my favorite! In fact, Nicolas really impressed me in this book, more than he did in his own book!
Ellie was extremely likable as a character and she authentically portrayed the feelings of having a crush in your teen years. I loved that it was able to come full circle 4 years later!
My one issue was with the introduction of the stalker. It seemed like the plot line had potential in the beginning but later, was revealed to exist for creating intrigue between a complicated relationship.
Beware readers, this is a slow burn romance but definitely the good kind! Overall, it was a romantic and enjoyable read.

This book was so good! After getting the whole royal treatment in the first two, this one was equally amazing! These characters were perfect for each other and I really liked how we got such a huge time span from when they met to the end of it. I honestly don't know what to say except that this series has been amazing and they just keep getting better, so if you're looking for a little royal action, read these!!!
I love love love Logan St. James so much and I especially loved watching his and Ellie's relationship develop over the years. The multiple time skips can be a little disconcerting, but it made their relationship feel so much more realistic compared to the ones in Royally Screwed and Royally Matched. I believed their romance and their sexual tension so much more because we got to see them grow through time. It felt earned.
However, this book isn't perfect by any means. For one thing, the climax was very anti-climactic and I wish there was better build up to the confrontation, but despite that, I still really enjoyed this book. It made me giddy and warm and I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next. Anyways, five star rating for a book that made me incredibly happy.
