Ellie and Logan were so sweet together.

They fell in love with each other but didnt act on their feelings.

What I liked was the fact that Ellie didnt pine for Logan. She carried on with life, had adventures, lived love to the fullest.

She and Logan both held a secret hope, but in the meantime, got to enjoy and protect each other.

I loved Ellie zest for life, her willingness to learn, to stand by Logan and protect him.

I loved Logan's dedication to Ellie. He was her bodyguard but know she also had to learn to protect herself (and it paid off).

There was some drama with a stalker and I loved the way Ellie handled the situation (she was no damsel in distress).

After Ellie and Logan got together, Logan had some issues he had to deal with regarding his position and future. There was the usual alpha man scene of him not knowing if he is worthy of Ellie, but it was short and he came to his senses quickly, and just in time...

Royally Endowed is the best book in this series by Emma Chase.

In this third installment, Logan, one of the royal security guards, and Princess Olivia’s sister Ellie, finally have their romance. We also get to watch the couples from the first two books Henry/Sara and Nicholas/Olivia and see what has become of their romances as things go on. There is a royal birth and even a wedding. A cute, feel-good read.

OH MY GOD!!! This series definitely got better as the books went on and this book might be my favourite from the series.

I'm a sucker for bodyguard romance so it's no surprise I ate this up like a starved women. Logan...sweet lord I am so in love with him! Other than the fact that he's so freaken sexy, he's also so freaken sweet, caring and have I mentioned sexy??

Another thing I'm a sucker for is when the FMC gets the guy she's been crushing on for so long. I love the whole pining thing —on both characters part. I also LOVE a touch of forbidden which this gave to perfection.

THE SPICE!! Dear lord! I'm gonna be thinking about Logan and a wall for a long time I just know. The tension made the spice so much more hotter as usual. I couldn't help but want more.

This book also made me CRY. Like wtf!! Why was my heart hurting at times?! Emma really outdid herself on this one. Also seeing all the other characters made me so happy and the fact that we got to see their happy ever afters too AND even sweet moments between those couples was just perfection.

Filled with breathtaking romance & angst, Royally Endowed hit the mark in every aspect of its storytelling. With immense patience, Chase beautifully led readers on a well thought-out love story between the loyal bodyguard to the royal family and the younger sister of the new princess, a relationship forbidden not only due to status but age as well.

Meticulous in every single detail in the climb, it was utterly torturous to watch and feel the sexual angst and tension build between Ellie and Logan, to experience the constant stomach-dipping emotion poring from their unsaid words and non-action. Never have I felt this sort of upheaval or figurative thirst for two people to just let go of inhibitions and expectations in order to get what they want. Logan is duty bound and protective, but playfully charming, qualities so far from one another that he felt unique and beguiling. This dedication to his craft and strong willpower created turmoil and a fiery ball of need in both characters, especially as Ellie matured and came into herself. Her spitfire sassiness and bold personality were a heck of a lot of fun to be in and to see the resistance from Logan slowly diminish as she became more comfortable.

Explosively intriguing and wonderfully fun, Royally Endowed was an addictive and amazing end to a series that I’ve absolutely adored. With Chase’s signature wit, banter, and sexiness, the ability to escape into this fairytale romance came all too easily. It felt impossible to imagine this book surpassing the prior two in this series, two books that I felt showed everything amazing about an Emma Chase story, and not only has it done so easily, but it’s also now my most favorite Chase book of all time.

**Received an early copy; this had no bearing on my opinions**

Have I mentioned how much I like Logan before?????? Because I do! When he showed up in the first book, I remember thinking "watch this man get his own spin off" and I was totally right.... thank you, Emma Chase, for not disappointing me.

Now, I definitely wasn't expecting it to be with Ellie. These two are just sdfghjaslasdjakda
I enjoyed how this was spaced out throughout the years. The prologue confused the hell out of me but then the 1st chapter was set "5 years earlier" and omg seeing Logan and Ellie throughout the years and their friendship and then, later on, the actual relationship...and all the troubles that came with it because, let me tell you, unlike the other 2 books, this was probably the most intense book in the series. Like, sitting on the edge of my chair, bitting my nails because for a while there everything was going wrong, type of book.

This fed my love for the bodyguard trope like nothing else (I'm now realising I hadn't read a book with that trope in way too long).

I listened to this entire series on audiobook (thanks, scribd, you're the real MVP), which was amazing! Both narrators did a phenomenal job, especially the male narrator, who was really good at narrating all 3 male main characters in the 3 book very distinctly. You couldn't mix them up if you tried because he had a different accent for each. I'd like to listen to other audiobooks narrated by him because he quickly became one of my favourite male narrators.
The female narrator was Andi Arndt, one of my favourite narrators for contemporary romance, and she also did a fantastic job narrating all 3 characters. I wouldn't say they were as distinct as the male ones but it was still really good.
If you have the chance to listen to this on audiobook, I'd definitely recommend it. You won't have your experience ruined by bad audiobook narration with this series.

Not even close to as great at the second book. This one felt forced where #2 felt genuine and refreshing.
