Royally Endowed
by Emma Chase
The third installment in Emma Chase's Royally series may be the best of the series with less cheesy moments but it wouldn't be one I would reread nor would it be a favorite book of mine. Royally Endowed is a spin on the classic forbidden off-limits romance trope and features a non-royal couple.
The book is a combination of flashback and present storytelling. You get to see Olivia's little sister, Ellie, grow from a high school student to a college graduate. After Olivia finds love with Nicholas, they order a security detail for a teenage Ellie. Enter a super hot security guard Logan. Ellie is smitten from the beginning, which quickly turns into more than just a crush. But Logan refuses to go there with Ellie because if he allows himself to fall for her, he won't be an effective security guard. See the tension here?
The formatting of the book with the love story being told through a series of flashbacks, showcasing the cute and important moments of Ellie and Logan made the book feel long and boring. Ellie spends most of the book longing for Logan, while he spends that time trying to fight his feelings. While I like that sort of romantic tension, it didn't quite work here.
Ellie's character is a free-spirited girl but that's really all I can recall about her. Much like my issues with Sarah in book two, I wanted more character development instead of a stock manic pixie dream girl.
This series has left me feeling so disappointed. To me, it didn't feel like it had Emma Chase's touch. I can appreciate her wanting to depart from her normal cocky and hilarious heroes and try something different, but this series was cheesy, lacked depth, and felt hollow. Chase recently announced a fourth book in the Royally series, but I'm done after book three.
* I borrowed this audiobook from the library.
