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.

reread 16/10/18
i swear it’s so good. best book of the series. so many feelings. can’t wait for more releases by emma chase ! edit 12/5/19: um i don’t know what i was on i’ve decide royally matched is the best in the series but like i still love it everything else i said still relevant :0)
reread 19/5/18
I READ THIS AGAIN AND IT WAS JUST AS BRILLIANT.
first time 13/12/17
I want to cry. I am crying. Because this book was everything I wanted it to be. And more.
As per usual with an Emma Chase book, we have bloody brilliant characters with witty banter. Something I haven't seen before in her books is that there was more to the book than just the romance. With all the amazing characters we have met from previous instalments of the series (this is the last one *cries for a year*), they also have things going on and events to deal with. We get a wedding, a birth (or two) and this really rounded up the series in a great way and all our characters are happy and well and I adored reading about how still-in-love they are.
There were some unexpected really serious scenes: there's a fire and a wierdo stalker. This book is set up so brilliantly with the flash-forward, it works so perfectly. I was a bit confused because, for a while, we're suppose to think that Ellie is dead, but we know she's not. Like we've seen her in the flash-forward, right? Even though it didn't totally make sense, I was still overly invested and shed a tear, I'll admit.
There is something about the way that Chase writes humans that I can't help but love them. They all have their flaws (particularly the guys) and that just makes them even more great.
Brb, gotta read all the other Emma Chase books and pray to the Lord that she decided to grace us with another one soon.

So maybe I enjoyed this one a little less that the first two but Ellie is and interesting character but I felt their romance was rushed and I dislike the time jumps
Anyway it was fun reading so I will give it 3.5 stars

“I feel more alive just standing next to him, than I have around anyone else.“
Royally Endowed is the story of bodyguard Logan, and the girl he is to protect, Ellie. Ever since Ellie’s sister began dating a prince, a bodyguard was required to keep her and her family safe. Logan is assigned to her by the Prince is Wessco himself.
Spanning over a few years, we see the progression of a friendship based on respect and understanding between Logan and Ellie, and as the two get older, something more begins to form. But Logan’s job means the world to him and he doesn’t want to compromise that. Ellie is the perfect woman for him, but will there ever be a perfect time for the two of them to be together?
“Subtlety, thy name is not Logan St. James.“
This book came to me at exactly the right time, I needed something fluffy, funny and sexy in my life. I’ve been having a hard time finding books I loved, and this one broke the pattern! This is the book you turn to when all other books fail to make you smile. I cannot go on enough on how refreshing it was to read this story, how much I loved the characters and the plot. Some things may seem a bit tropey, but it just works.
Bodyguard romances seem to be the new trend in romance and I am totally on board with this. I feel it adds a touch of the forbidden to otherwise safe romances, kind of like the office romance where there’s a chance someone could get fired. The other side of it for me, is that protector role. We get that tiny bit of alpha, wanting to protect someone and keep them safe, but it’s their job which makes it not so creepy to me than some random dude going all Tarzan on a woman.
Full of humor (seriously, I laughed out loud quite a few times reading this), tenderness, and a touch of magic, Royally Endowed is the perfect end of summer book. It’s my favorite in this series and I am honestly excited to see what Emma Chase has in store for us readers in the future.

Evocative bodyguard romance
This is book 3 in Emma Chase’s Royally series. I am not much for romance novels featuring (fictional) royals, so I did not read the preceding two installments, but it works well as a standalone. Something in the blurb of this one caught my attention and since the two main protagonists are not actually royals, I decided to give it a try. Ellie Hammond, the heroine, has a sister who married into Wessco royalty and because of that, she has also come under media attention. That is why she is included in the bodyguard detail of her sister and brother-in-law. Logan St. James, the hero, fought his way from poverty to an elite military position in the Royal Guard. From the first moment they lay eyes on each other there is something between them; but Ellie is too young (we meet her just as she is preparing for her high school graduation) and Logan knows that giving in to his desires could mean losing everything he worked so hard for.
Years later a catastrophic event at the Court in Wessco throws them together again and this time Logan is unable to resist her.
Despite the somewhat salacious title (at least my dirty mind read it that way), the romance in this book is slow-burning and rather sweet, but emotionally gripping (you might need a few tissues). Logan’s quiet and steadfast love for Ellie, who to him seems unobtainable, is deeply moving and romantic, especially as he is a strong, hot, alpha guy.
The ending was, though in a way satisfying (HEA), was a bit a let-down for my inner feminist with Ellie abandoning her dreams of pursuing an education in psychology in order to raise children. So therefore 4+ stars for a beautiful, emotionally stirring romance with a likeable and relatable heroine and a strong and hot hero that manages to be vulnerable at the same time.

I think this was my favorite of the trilogy. Loved Ellie & Logan together! They had great chemistry, and I liked the slow burn. Once again, like the rest of the series, the narration was great.
Another great installment in this series. The ending almost made this a 3 star read, when they casually mention how Ellie gives up her dream of being a psychologist in the epilogue.
She was valedictorian at her high school, honors in college and headed to graduate school but she just decides to throw in the towel? I wouldn’t have minded that she decided to be a stay at home mom, if they didn’t spend 3 books talking about how smart she was and how much she was going to accomplish in her career.
She should have worked at the palace as a staff therapist or something. Or at least gone to school in Wessco.
Just didn’t seem like something her character would do.
