A swoony bodyguard and the Princess’s sister? Now THAT’S what I call a must-read royal romance!
Logan has been protecting Ellie, sister of Princess Olivia, for five years – he’s seen her grow from a girl finishing high school to a young woman ready to take on the world. He’s known that she’s had a crush on him, but the job comes first, no matter how much he wants to act on his growing attraction. Now back in Wessco, awaiting the birth of the royal twins, Ellie realises she hasn’t been living life to the fullest like she always intended, so it’s time to take a leap of faith – confront Logan and see if she can turn her dreams into a reality. But when you’re the sister to the Princess and you’re hooking up with one of the royal family’s top security men, things are bound to unravel. There’s a reason Logan put Ellie into the ‘off-limits’ box, but now that they’ve taken the leap, there’s no going back.
The moment we met Logan and Ellie in the first book, I knew their story would be a good one! And Emma definitely delivered a fun & swoony royal romance read. Logan and Ellie have both been really interesting characters on their own, from what we’ve seen in the previous two books, so it was great to finally get inside their heads and learn more about them, both together and on their own. There’s so much more to them than what we’ve seen through Olivia and Nicholas’ eyes in particular.
A fair chunk of Ellie and Logan’s story is told through time jumps – catching us up on what they’ve been doing during the time period of the previous two books, before we get to the present day after the events of the Royally Matched epilogue. Constant time jumps can make a book feel disjointed, but Emma really made it work, especially because we already had the timeline established during Nicholas and Olivia, and Henry and Sarah’s books. It felt like a nice recap before diving into the current story.
On top of that, Emma gave us so much Olivia and Nicholas and Henry and Sarah content, that it worked really well as a conclusion to this part of the series (with the final book, Royally Yours, going back in time to look at Queen Lenora’s romance). I always love when authors of companion novel series give us a flash-forward wrap up for all their characters, and the epilogue here delivered everything I wanted and more, and has me really excited for the final short story of the series, Royally Raised.
This series has been a fabulous binge read and I’ve loved every moment spent with these characters. Royal romance fans definitely need to jump on this series if they haven’t already!
