Royally Endowed (The Royally Series Book 3)

This book was Olivia's Sister Ellie and her bodyguard Logan. I absolutely loved this story. The instant chemistry between them was off the charts for everyone but them. Logan denied until he couldn't anymore. Ellie knew but didn't think the feelings were returned. It was a hard decision for Logan because he knew what a relationship with her would mean for his career. Ellie didn't understand why things had to change. The twist and turn as they discover what they want and how they are going to do it made it very hard to put this book down. The inside you see from the other characters is always a bonus. Great book.

This book was the best one of the Royally Series. It starts with Ellie taking responsibility of Amelia's since Olivia is leaving NY to spend the summer Wessco with Nicholas and then follows Ellie and Logan St. James. Let me tell you that this book made me sob because Logan is one of the best male protagonists ever. He had a very difficult childhood and adolescence, yet he made something out of himself. I do not want to spoil anything for potential readers but definitely a book meant to be read over and over. I wish I could give it more stars.

Unfortunately couldn't get into this book. Bought it because of the good reviews but was disappointed. The characters and storyline were okay, but overall I found the story a little too boring and cheesy. Wouldn't recommend.

Wow! I've read and loved the two previous Royally books by Emma Chase and I was super looking forward to this. I absolutely loved this! I think it's got to be my favourite.

This is Logan & Ellie's story. Ellie's life is completely turned upside down after her sister starts a relationship with a royal prince. Suddenly her and her family are hot news and the royal's assign bodyguards to her. Enter Logan. Fiercely loyal to the royal family, he takes his task to protect Ellie very seriously. Ellie has a crush on the swoony Logan from the get go but he is all professionalism and shows zero return interest. Or does he? Lol.

This book spans a few years and I loved watching the relationship and the characters grow over that time. It had a magical, slow burn, fairytale feel to it. There were laugh out loud moments and plenty of witter banter, but also lots of swoon-worthy romance and emotional times as well. Also add a little suspense as well for a well rounded story that drew me in from the start and kept my attention to the end.

Ellie and Logan were both great, multi-faceted characters that I loved and immediately connected with. I was rooting for them from the start and when I finished I had a great big grin on my face but was a little loathe to let go.

This story does standalone but the story timeline does cross some events from the previous books so I'd recommend reading the others first. They're great too so it's not any hardship.

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Emma Chase is the Queen of fun, romantic stories and her Royally series is fantastic! Every book is better than the last one and Royally Endowed is sweet, sexy and emotional. This is a slow burn romance at its best with a forbidden love story between a princess’ sister and her bodyguard!

Logan St. James was born in the wrong side of the tracks. After two years in the military, his skills and his loyalty land him working as one of the most trusted bodyguards of the palace. When he got assigned to protect Ellie, the princess’ sister, he took his job very seriously.

Ellie was just in high school when she met Logan. Her brooding bodyguard stole her heart from the start but what harm can a little crush do?

Although, these two characters are close in age, their different backgrounds and the professional boundaries make their attraction forbidden. Their chemistry throughout the years is getting bigger and more important and when Ellie is finally 22, BOOM!

Logan is a serious boy that had to grow up quickly. He is responsible, mature and very hardworking. Ellie on the other hand is spunky, carefree and innocent. She sees the good in people and she is very optimistic.

It was great seeing their changes as the years passed. Ellie brightens Logan’s life and he is there for her whenever she needs him. Their friendship slowly turns into an erotic relationship and their sexy scenes are so hot! You can see their bond and how much they need each other and when the lines blur, they are inseparable.

This book can be read as a standalone but you will enjoy it so much more if you read the previous books as all the characters live together as a family and you can see their lives moving forward.

Emma Chase is one of my favorite authors as her books are always entertaining but also heartwarming. This book is full of passion and love and it will definitely make you swoon!

Royally Endowed by Emma Chase ~ 5 Stars

OMG!!!! This book is something else. Emma Chase hit it out of the park again. She had me at the prologue! Right of the bat, the end of the prologue got my heart racing out of control. I knew at that point there was something bad happening there but of course I had no idea what. You have to read until nearly the end to finally get your answer. I did not expect the drama and suspense that came with this romantic fairytale.

I really love the modern fairytale feel of this book. Logan St. James is a security guard for the royal family. He grew up on the wrong side of the track but is determined to make a better life for himself. Logan is a little mysterious, broody, sexy as sin “he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and…other body parts.” – UM, YES PLEASE! Logan has the focus and dedication to his job, nothing could deter him, not even the beautiful sister to the crowned princess – Ellie Hammond … or can it?

Ellie is a sweetheart. She is quirky, funny and full of life. Their love affair really begins a while back when Ellie is still a senior in high school. Logan was assigned to watch over Ellie while her sister visits Wesco. For years, Logan watches over Ellie – I suspect his feelings for Ellie are a little more than a protective guard. Ellie always thought of Logan as her very own knight - she has always has a crush on him and her feelings run deeper over the years but she never really pursues it. Ellie knows he is off limits for obvious reasons – he is her guard and she is the princess’ sister. Ellie always been a free spirit – her motto is to “suck the lemon of life” but she realizes that she has been playing safe. She wants to take a risk, lay her heart on the line and hope that Logan wants her like she always wanted him. Will poor Logan finally give into the beautiful tempting Ellie?

“Somebody once told me a slow-burning fire is the hottest – and it must be true. Because Logan and I are a f*cking inferno.”

I enjoy the slow burn, angsty romance – it’s the best kind. Logan and Ellie’s romance was brewing over several years. So, when they finally gave in to each other – it’s nothing short of inferno – sexy, passionate, burning up the sheets deliciousness. I have to admire Logan’s loyally. He has been in love with Ellie but he is dedicated and loyal to the prince so he kept away from Ellie until she was much older. I also love the way the author describes Logan watching Ellie grow from the quirky teenager to a beautiful swan – Logan is drawn to her but always admires Ellie from the sidelines. It’s super sweet and endearing.

I really fell in love with Logan and Ellie. They seem perfect for each other. Ellie’s life is far from baking at a family bakery but she is sweet and down to earth. Logan is her perfect knight - protecting Ellie while keeping his attraction to her at arms length. Except a little suspense and twist to the plot – this was fun, sexy, sweet, romantic, and totally swoony. Just PERFECTION!
I am honestly obsessed with Emma’s modern fairy tale romance. This is book 3 and it just gets better and better. If you have not picked up one yet start with Royally Screwed, then Royally Matched. They are all amazingly good.

I also enjoy the little snippet of the royal family Nicholas and Olivia, Henry and Sarah. I missed them and I was so glad to have them back in this book. Nicholas is so funny and protective to little sister in law Ellie. The part about Ellie’s apartment shopping had me laughing so hard.

“We’ll find you a new place to love. I’ll even ask the owner to loosen the pipes so they leak if that’ll make you happy, but you can’t stay here. Absolutely not.” - LOL, hilarious!

I also had the pleasure of reading Royally Raised – a short snippet into the life of King Henry and Queen Sarah. They have several children - one in particular, the eldest girl seems hardheaded, funny, and entitled. The King and Queen want to reign her in and show her what the real world is all about. But if Princess Jane, the future heir is anything like her sassy grandmother (which I suspect she definitely is) we are in for a wild ride. I'm very intrigued to find out what is next but I suspect a story on this spoiled princess .... I am dying for more! Emma, are you listening to me?

Ellie Hammond has relied on Logan St. James to be her bodyguard, savior, and Knight In Shining Armor since she was seventeen years old. She has had a huge crush on him from the beginning. He was appointed to her by the Prince to look out for her since she is Olivia's sister. But even though he takes his duty seriously, it was always hard for him to keep from also looking at her.

Ellie is a spitfire. who wants to live life to the fullest. She's sassy, smart, funny, and vivacious. Logan is a man of duty and control. He is stoic, dependable, serious, but has a good heart and a sense of humor. He knows he shouldn't look and can't touch. But the man only has so much willpower. After years of hidden longing, resistance, and putting duty first, things finally come to boil.

But what happens when they really admit their feelings? How will the royals take a guard cavorting with the Princess's sister? And what about the press? Can two people in the periphery of royal life in Wessco find their own HEA or will duty, country, or something else get in the way?

This brings back our royal family Nicholas, Olivia, Henry, Sarah, and Queen Lenore as well as Simon, Franny, Marty, and Tommy. Olivia's family had already blend with Olivia's and royal changes occurred to Wessco's legacy. What kind of response will this newest forbidden couple get?

I had a soft spot for Logan--they guy from the wrong side of tracks who made good. He tried so hard to be honorable and do everything right. He tried to ignore his heart and body. But Ellie was not about to let a chance go by to try to convince him to really see her. She was bold, brave, and knew what she wanted. They had been inseparable for years with both not voicing their true feelings. It was a slow burn bound to end in an explosion.

Logan's identity has been so wrapped up in his duty and honor, but his feelings could put that at risk.

His job is challenging and safety is a priority. He would die for or kill for her. But with danger and threats and his own feelings involved, will it come to that?

This is a slow burn, passionate, forbidden love story with humor, suspense, and some drama. The chemistry between Logan and Ellie was evident even when they were fighting it, but when they weren't it was combustible. I loved getting both of their points of view and an epilogue. This story did take us back to the beginning, but it still kept me enthralled the whole time. I adored this coupling. I think Logan is my fave hero. His devotion, heart, and protectiveness just shined through even when he tried to be stoic. And there were a few times when my heart just broke for him. And Ellie was his perfect, perky and loving counterbalance.

I have really enjoyed this royal series and these characters. The dynamics between them are so much fun and I love the whole world building of the Wessco royals. I have not read the short story, Royally Raised yet but now I need to get a dose of the kids to get more of this series. I am not ready to let them go.

What I love most about Royally Endowed is that Emma Chase decided to focus on a hero and heroine who are not royal by birth or by marriage; characters who are definitely in the inner circle of Wessco’s royal family, but have no title or duties based on their birthright. In fact, Logan St. James and perhaps even Ellie Hammond would claim that they are the most common of commoners despite Logan’s position as one of the royal family’s bodyguards and Ellie’s familial connection as the sister-in-law to Prince Nicholas.

Logan and Ellie’s relationship plays out over half a decade, which means that as Prince Nicholas was wooing Olivia and Prince Henry was claiming Sarah, Logan and Ellie were trying to figure out exactly what they meant to one another because what started out as a simple task to protect Olivia’s sister while she’s away in Wessco turns into a bond of friendship, trust, and unrequited feelings that aren’t as one-sided as Logan wants Ellie to believe.

Logan St. James is a man of honor…of loyalty. He wanted to be a part of something bigger than himself, which he’s clearly accomplished in his years as a royal guard and confidante to Prince Nicholas. On the surface, Logan is diligent, controlled, and in some ways, emotionless, but the man beneath his job, the one Emma Chase allows readers to see because parts of the story are told from his perspective, doesn’t think very highly of himself or of his upbringing, which makes him question pursuing anything with Ellie because he feels she’s out of his league and destined to be with someone of noble blood and money and those are things he cannot offer her.

Ellie Hammond is a contradiction of sorts, which makes people misjudge her intelligence and her worth. I love her desire to “suck the lemon dry” to experience everything life has to offer, making every day count. She’s the perfect counter balance for Logan’s outlook on life, which is why he feels so drawn to Ellie, even when he knows she’s completely off-limits due to her age and her connection to the royal family.

Logan and Ellie’s love story is not a fast and wild one…it’s slow and steady, which, at times, can be frustrating as a reader, but the way Chase allows their relationship to play out is exactly how it should because Logan needs time to be able to see Ellie as the woman she is in the present, not focus on the young girl she was when he first met her. His insecurities have to be conquered before he can offer Ellie the one thing she’s always wanted - him - and that can’t and won’t be an instantaneous action, which means that the pace of their feelings for one another, especially Logan’s for Ellie, need time to grow and transform from protecting her as his job and protecting her because she’s his.
Emma Chase’s Royally series has been an absolute pleasure to read; each book has made me laugh, swoon, and appreciate the relationships that the characters develop, not only between the heroes and the heroines but with all of the secondary characters who play just as important of a role as the main ones do. The idea that everyone deserves a happy ending is a continuous theme throughout the series, but it’s especially poignant in Logan and Ellie’s story and Emma Chase couldn’t have given readers a better send off to the Wessco’s royal family and friends than the one that’s included in the Epilogue, which truly illustrates the idea that happily ever afters aren’t just for princes and princesses…they’re for anyone willing to love with all their heart and give everything they are to another person.

4.5 Poison Apples

I freaking LOVED this book!!! Emma Chase has done it once again. This is the second book that I have had the opportunity to review by her, and she has gained a fan for life. Her writing style is engaging, witty, sexy and down right awesome. I found myself laughing at the crazy one-liners and antics of the characters. Her characters are well written and believable. I was hooked from the very first page.

Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of Wessco. Born into a family of criminals, he fought to free himself of that life at the young age of fifteen. Enlisting in the military saved him from a life in prison or an early grave. Now he works protecting the royal family, that is until they send him stateside to watch over Ellie Hammond, the younger sister of his bosses fiance. Seventeen-year-old Ellie is a spitfire, smartest girl in her graduating class and works like crazy in her families little diner and pie shop. She is snarky, funny, and loves life. Her motto is to "Suck the Lemon out of life." Something that she wants permanently tattooed on her body.

I loved how Ellie and Logan's relationship developed slowly. Ellie has had a crush on him for a long time, and now that he is permanently in her life, the crush grows into something more. Their love story spans years as we watch Ellie grow from a young high schooler to a college graduate when she finally cannot take the attraction she has to Logan any longer and must tell him. What ensues is nothing short of explosive. Keeping their relationship hidden is something that Logan cannot do, and he is prepared to walk away from his job to keep Ellie in his life. Will they both be strong enough to weather the storm that their relationship brings or will the royal family intervene and end them before they even have a real chance at happiness?

There are tons of awesome movie and television references that had me laughing out loud. I loved the dynamic that they added to the story. Roayall Endowed was a refreshing read, that stepped a little outside the box with the characters, seeing as neither one of them are really members of the royal family. I loved the connection that they all had to one another and now need to go and read Royally Raised!

I also loved the fact that we get to catch up on past characters and there is a bit of suspense thrown into the story where Ellie's sister is concerned. When lives are threatened, and choices are made, good and bad will they all have the HEA they deserve?

I first fell in lust with Nicholas in Royally Screwed, and then Henry in Royally Matched and now Logan in ROYALLY ENDOWED and I cannot seem to get enough of these Wessco lads!

I must admit, I cannot choose a favourite. I adore all of these strong, loyal, admirable men. But there is something about Logan I cannot seem to get out of my mind. I have a thing for men who protect their women. The brooding, tall, chiseled gorgeous type. Chase has a knack for creating such lovable, rich characters, and Logan is ALL that. The chemistry that he and Ellie have is really potent and viable, and it really shows through Chase's enviable writing.

Falling in love at 17 is powerful. You dive headfirst and don't think about the consequences until later. It's a visceral reaction, and those are the exact feelings Ellie has for Logan. He's too old for her, he is essentially her body guard, her protector, and her saviour-in more ways than one. Despite Ellie knowing that Logan is off limits, she still feels for him. It doesn't change who she is, or make her act like a child, she is mature about it and hopes that fate will take over one day and give her what she wants. And she WANTS Logan.

Ellie is a shining star, a pretty angel, and as silly as they come. But she is smart and kind and very self assured. Logan knows he can't be with her, shes too young, naive, and the Prince's sister in law. SHE IS OFF LIMITS. Logan tries with all his might, but the attraction he has for her is not just physical, its primitive, it digs deep. The need to keep her safe and out of harms way is so natural to him, he wonders how he ever lived without her occupying his mind.

Chase does an excellent job with the long time line that is prevalent throughout the book. Nearly five years' time elapses and I found the scenes in which she chose to write were important and focused. The natural progression of Logan and Ellie's relationship was well crafted and well thought out. If you'd like, you could call it a "slow burn"-but the burn still had fire. The flirting, the blushes, the tortured expressions and the need to protect was thrilling to read. I was obsessive about finishing as fast as possible because I was so engrossed in the story.

I was kept on my toes and thoroughly impressed with how well this book was written. I loved all of the supporting cast and felt like I was part of the Royal family at times by how well Chase provided the visuals and small moments that really make a book special. I laughed, swooned, held my breath and heard my pulse racing because this book was charged. There was never a dull moment, something was always happening-and that something was always captivating.

There is something about Emma Chase that really appeals to me. I have loved every single book I have read of hers. Shes clever and rich with her words and her stories. I loved Royally Endowed and am happy with how everything turned out. I cannot wait to see what she brings to the table next!

Emma Chase is an author that always delivers when it comes to a captivating, romantic, sexy, fun and unforgettable reading journey! Emma Chase is back with the third installment of her Royally Series and it is fabulous!! Ellie and Logan are two characters that will melt your hearts and their love story will make you swoon non-stop. This slow burn romance will captivate you from beginning to end!

Logan St-James is not a nanny. Protecting the royal family is his job. Not watching and protecting an American teenage girl that drives him crazy. Ellie Hammond is a temptation he’s not ready to deal with. He knows that falling for her is going against all the rules, but he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Even if that means breaking his own rules.

Emma Chase exceeded all of my expectations with Royally Endowed. I was really excited when I found out Ellie was getting her own story. I love her funny ways and how she lights up any room she walks into. She’s the kind of heroine I love to cheer for. I wanted her to find a real and intense love just like her sister did. Logan was a stubborn hero that melted my heart. He fell hard for Ellie and he realized that when it comes to love, you listen to your heart. There is no way around it. Love comes unexpectedly and it the most intriguing ways. The banter between Ellie and Logan is GOLD!! Each scene that they shared made me fall in love with them even more. I loved the way they supported each other in their difficult moments and how their love grew stronger through it all.

It was fantastic to see the previous characters in Royally Endowed. The supporting cast of characters for this story brought a smile to my face. I wanted to pack my bags and go on this memorable journey with all these characters. The bond that they share is precious and heart warming. I read this book in one sitting because it was an unputdownable story that made me feel many emotions. Emma Chase’s writing style never fails to captivate me from beginning to end. If you have not read any books by Emma Chase, you’re seriously missing out on some amazing love stories that will linger with you. I highly recommend everything she has published.

I give, Royally Endowed, by Emma Chase, 5 intense, passionate, romantic, falling for your bodyguard stars!

Emma Chase has always been a favorite of mine, but she has truly created something fantastic with this series of standalones. Each story and each character has hit the bulls-eye every single time, and Royally Endowed completes the hat trick.

Ellie Hammond stole the show for me in this one. Her whole aura and attitude for life drew me to her character, making it clear to see why Logan would have been enamored with this spitfire. The way in which Emma Chase writes her character makes Ellie vibrate with life, like readers can feel the essence of her character through the pages. Ellie makes readers want to live life freely and taking every single moment it has to offer. It is intoxicating and lovely, and readers, as well as Logan, have no choice but to succumb to the charms of this woman.

Logan is the perfect bodyguard. He is honorable and brave with just the right amount of aloofness to give off the impression that he doesn't care, but readers get to see glimpses of his heart and his depth of emotion for Ellie. With each moment with her, readers fall more and more in love with Logan and his heroic persona, and when he finally opens his heart to Ellie, the passion he emotes and shows her will leave readers in a puddle on the floor.

This is another slow-burn, but readers will love the way Emma Chase has chosen to tell their story. She opens the story by dropping readers into the middle of the story leaving them on the edge of their seats, knowing that they will be coming back to this scene. The pacing and passage of time. thought, allows readers to get glimpses of these two through the years. They get to see Ellie and Logan evolve in a natural way, allowing their feelings to grow and develop authentically. The author shows readers their struggles with admitting how they feel and how they flirt with the line of truth. With all the build up, it is explosive when these two finally come together and admit how they feel. The conflict of the story is relatively clear from the beginning, but the way Emma Chase details each moment of their issues will make readers feel every break of their hearts, only to have their hearts racing as a result of climax and falling action of the story. As with all royal fairytales, Emma Chase delivers the conclusions that is Disney-worthy, showing readers a happily-ever-after that will have them cheesy grinning without a care in the world.

I have absolutely loved this series of standalones. Everything from the world she created to the stories she told enraptured me. It will be one of my very favorite romantic series because not only does it give readers epic stories of love but it also shows readers that love is for everyone.

ARC received in exchange for an honest review.

Everyone knows I'm a total sucker for royal books. They are my jam. So, of course - OF COURSE - this entire series has been nothing but heart eyes and swoony sighs for me. In book 1, Prince Nicholas fell in love with a New York diner girl. In book 2, Prince Henry fell for the quiet, awkward girl. And present through all of it was royal guard Logan St. James. He's in sort of a "always a bridesmaid, never the bride" type of situation. He's witnessed his charges find the loves of their lives, and because of his job and having to remain detached and preferably unattached, Logan has never thought he could find his.

Then there's sweet, girlie Ellie, sister to the aforementioned NY diner girl. She has loved Logan from afar ever since he was assigned to guard her as well when she was only 17. For five long years, she's carried this torch for him with almost no hope of having her affections returned. Talk about dedication to the cause. Logan has been a singular presence in her life for some of the most momentous occasions - high school and college graduation, the marriage of her sister, her boyfriends and hook-ups and everything in between.

Royally Endowed is truly the story of Logan and Ellie. It backs up the timeline to near the beginning of the events that unfolded in Royally Screwed (book 1). Ellie was only 17 then, so of course a relationship with Logan who is in his early 20s would've been a little inappropriate. But, it was so important to begin at the beginning, so I'm so happy that Emma Chase took the time to take us back so we could see how this relationship evolved.

And it absolutely evolved. Certainly there was physical attraction from the beginning, but what Ellie and Logan build over five years of being together - even as bodyguard and charge - goes so far beyond lust or objectification. They learn each others' secrets, help each other through tough times, and celebrate each others' victories. Every time we jump ahead a few months or a few years, we're taken to a point in their relationship that seemed significant as their attraction grew for each other. Until finally we find ourselves at present day when Ellie returns to Wessco for the summer.

Ellie is now in her early 20s and Logan just can't keep his hands to himself anymore. And thank freaking goodness for that. As you can imagine, the sexual tension ramps up and up and up until you are practically DYING for them to just kiss already. But, it's against Logan's moral code and could endanger his job - one that he truly loves - if he gives in. It's a big deal. And it makes that moment when they finally throw caution to the wind so much more amazing.

A lot happens in Royally Endowed. Like, A LOT. We witness major events in the lives of all three couples in the Royally series. And each event is incredible in its own right. The epilogue puts the perfect final touches on this series that has held me captive from the very beginning. This series will go down as one of my all-time favorites.

***I received an ebook copy in exchange for an honest review***

Move over Henry, you’ve got some competition in Logan!

Royall Endowed is the third book of the Royally Series by Emma Chase. Every story in this series gets better and better, and this latest installment is no exception. In fact, it’s hard for me to say this, but I think this book has topped Royally Matched as my favorite.

Logan does security for the royal family, and is assigned to stay with Ellie Hammond, Prince Nicholas’s sister-in-law. Ever since the prince and Ellie’s sister were in NYC, all eyes have been on the Hammond family, and as a result, Ellie needs the protection. As Logan spends more time with Ellie, she starts to seem less like a little sister … and more like a potential match.

I’m going to start by saying, WOW, have you seen the cover for Royall Endowed? It’s one of the most beautiful covers I’ve laid eyes on! If I knew nothing about Emma Chase, or the Royally Series, I’d pick this title up based off the cover alone.

Okay, now for the good stuff! Royally Endowed is a perfect slow burn. And I mean sllllllooooooow. The book covers 5+ years of time, and the attraction between Ellie and Logan is alive and well the whole way. The book itself is anything but slow, however. Things are constantly moving and the characters were in a continuous state of evolution. I like that Chase didn’t rush anything with this story, especially between Logan and Ellie. As a reader, I was able to savor things, to enjoy the high that I got from the electric connection that was always there between these two, buzzing just beneath the surface.

I absolutely adored Ellie. There were a few times along the way where I thought to myself, “this girl could be my spirit animal!” She’s a free-spirit, who is both a dreamer and a doer. She takes care of things within the family, while still excelling in her studies. She has a boatload of hopes and dreams, and she’s a romantic. She’s also feisty and wild and the kind of girl who marches to the beat of her own drum. She’s someone I could see myself being friends with in real life, and those are my favorite kind of characters to read, because in addition to being awesome in general, they’re also relatable.

And Logan … Oh, Logan. This man is everything I love in a hero. He’s sexy, tattooed, charming, and although he can be cocky and brooding at times, he’s also selfless. His focus is on Ellie and only Ellie. Though it’s his job to protect her, after a while it’s clear that she’s the center of his world, whether he’s working for Prince Nicholas or not. Logan was willing to sacrifice what he wanted to see that Ellie was happy. Now, add in the fact that he’s also a ridiculous flirt and a rock star between the sheets and … well, you know. Logan easily earned a spot on my Top Book Boyfriends of 2017 list.

This story was a fun read, one that I instantly got wrapped up in and blazed right through. Chase kept things moving, but also threw in a few surprises, so nothing about the plot was predictable. The character development was fantastic, and the time these two spent between the sheets was hot, hot, hot!

If you like aristocrats and a good slow burn romance, then Royally Endowed is the perfect book to add to your end-of-summer reading list!

Five stars to this book!

Sweet Heavens! This book is freaking good I am over the moon! Like seriously, this book is one of the most anticipated book this year for a reason! I have no words except I.LOVE.ROYALLY ENDOWED and it's PERFECT!

I have said this again and again that Emma Chase keeps getting better and better with her every release and with this 3rd installment of the Royally Series, she did not disappoint. She has done it again for heaven's sake! She slayed it to perfection! It was wonderfully crafted I was in awe right from the very first page to the last. And since I couldn't get enough, I reread it over and over and I still want more. I just love this book too much to move on. Yes! It's that good and I want you all to read it!

Royally Endowed is different from the first two books of this series as it wasn't about the members of the Royal family. But even then, it did not stop me from devouring the book. Ellie and Logan may not be prince and princess' but man, their journey was worth it. I was swept off my feet. Like I said, I was over the moon! It was sooo good that even the first word tasted victory and phenomenal. That Prologue, goodness! My curiousity was piqued to the nth level that my excitement to flip the next page was palpable. I read it in one sitting and never stopped until I hit the end and then read it again to savor the moment. I feel like I was on crack with this book as I kept on smiling my jaw hurts. I fell in love with the story much more because I love both Logan and Ellie. Their characters was just something I was rooting because they felt so alive - especially Ellie. Gahd!As much as I wanna say, I love Logan because who wouldn't ? Sexy AF, brooding, a gentleman, a protector - Oh My gah! He's IT for me!

But then, more than him, Ellie was the sunshine of this story. She's the one who shines brightly with Emma Chase's perfect delivery and brilliant writing. When I met her, I can't keep myslef from laughing at her antics to falling in love with her. She's this woman who pursues what she wants withouit even a care of what might happen next except standing on it and owning whatever outcome it might be. She's just WOW! That's why, I couldn't blame poor sexy beast to fall in love with her. For so many years protecting this woman, you really could not resist the beauty that emanates not just the outside but also from within her. Who cares about off-limits? Who cares about bodyguard rules: Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love. It's Ellie Hammond - irresistile and once she'll break your wall, she'll crumble it and will persist even to the deepest part of you. Never, ever fall in love huh? Who are you kidding???!

Overall, I highly recommend this book. You can never go wrong with Emma Chase. She will draw you into this story because she has that ability to make you feel lost in the journey of her characters through her excellent writing skills - with words and lines rich with emotions, especially heart. You really need to read this book. Eeep! I am soooo excited for you to take a ride in this journey. Royally Endowed is an amazing slow burn story that's just so sweet, passionate, hilarious, emotional - it's EVERYTHING!

"Hey Logan?”
“Yeah?”
“One of these days . . . I’m going to save you back.”

Oh.
My.
Swoons.

I can barely form a coherent thought right now. I'm a melty pile of swoony goo at the hands of Emma Chase. The woman is incapable of writing a book that I devour in one sitting with a goofy grin on my face for the entire time. As much as I adored Royally Matched, I think this book totally topped it. I don't have the words to describe all the ways I loved it. And oh my god, you guys, how I loved it!!!

If you love an incredibly written slow burn romance with a hero that's simply to die for and a heroine you'll want for your best friend, this book will be going straight to your top favorites shelf. GUARANTEED. It wasn't just swoony, it was EPICALLY swoony. Logan owns my heart AND my ovaries. I don't ever want them back. EVER.

You may remember Ellie Hammond as Olivia Hammond's baby sister in Royally Screwed. Ellie has always been a bit of a free spirit. Sassy, a little quirky, optimistic and a bit naive in her youth, her brother in law feels like she needs someone to protect her when they're not around. And the only man he trusts for the job is royal guard, Logan St. James.

They first meet when Ellie is a senior in high school. The chemistry is there, but it's on a low simmer. Then over the years as Logan sees Ellie grow into a beautiful woman, that low simmer begins to turn into a sizzling inferno that proves almost impossible to resist.

I love a good slow burn romance, and this was easily one of my favorites. I love the playful nature that first forms between Ellie and Logan. I love the way he tries to deny his feelings for her while still falling in love with her. I love the way that Ellie goes after what she wants and I loved the way that Logan finally gives in. These two were some of the most endearing characters I've read in a while and I just couldn't get enough of them.

This book had everything you'd expect from the incredible talent that is Emma Chase; humor, witty dialogue, fantastic characters, and a romance that's so swoony, it may leave you in a pile of melty goo! This series is just perfection. It's my indulgence when I need a light and easy romance that will give me the warm and fuzzies and leave me with a smile on my face. Suffice it to say that I. LOVED. IT.

Ellie Hammond has secretly crushed on Logan St. James since he became her bodyguard. As a teenager, he was her protector, her guide, her friend. But she was just a job to him, and he didn’t notice her. Now that she is done with school and living in Wessco, the queen has encouraged her to find someone noble, to follow in her sister’s steps.

Logan is a loyal employee and friend of Prince Nicholas. He has always done as the prince asked, and has kept his focus on his duties as a bodyguard to the royal family. Ellie is off limits, and it has never been a problem to keep things professional. But now that Ellie is an adult, he finds it harder to ignore the attraction he knows goes both ways.

This was absolutely a fun, sweet read. Ellie and Logan spend a lot of time building their relationship, to the point where at times I wished we spent more time in the present and less reviewing scenes and events that took place in the background of previous books. I felt like I already had a good understanding of who these two were prior to the book, and I wanted to see them work on things together. But as a whole, this story had me grinning and turning the pages, enjoying the two of them as they grew up and grew together.

Logan spends so much time trying to do the right thing I couldn’t help but love him. He had overcome a lot from his childhood, growing up on the wrong side of the tracks and having family still firmly entrenched in that life. He is at his heart a good person, and his loyalty to Nicholas and the royal family is something he takes pride in, and struggles to maintain as he finds himself torn between his career, everything he has built, and the love he finds growing for the person he is supposed to protect.

Ellie has always been a fun character to read. She has a bit of a wild side, but is driven and determined despite what others sometimes say about her. I loved watching her grow up through this series, and watching her narrate gave even more insight into the girl her sister spent so much time protecting. In fact, Ellie has been protected during several parts of her life, and I loved watching her step up and stand up for herself.

This was a great third novel in the series, and the return to Wessco was welcoming. I loved getting to see Sarah and Henry, and Olivia and Nicholas as they all find balance in their new roles.

Ellie Hammond wants to live her life to the fullest and this is an attitude that fits her fun and perky persona. After her sister married the eldest Prince of Wessco, their life changed for the better and it was in that process she met the man who’s occupied her fantasies for years now.
Logan St. James is a tough guy. A working-class man, from the wrong side of the tracks who worked very hard to crawl out of the hole he grew up in to prevent ending in jail and becoming another statistic. He’s been close to Ellie since the time Prince Nicholas took his now wife, Olivia, on her first trip to Wessco and he was left in charge of her protection.
I have come to every book of this series thinking I can’t possibly like it better than the last and I’ve been wrong every time. Ms. Chase has done a great job giving each couple such a different identity from the others it’s hard not to fall in love with them all. That said, I just loved this book as much as the others and don’t bother asking me which one is my favorite because each one is perfect in its own right.
Logan and Ellie feel the attraction from early on, but her being underage and then becoming a relation to the royal family prevent everything in Logan from acting on it. Ellie, on the other hand, feels he can’t see past the little girl and tries to live on until she realizes she won’t really “suck the lemon” of life until she tackles the situation head on and finds out if Logan feels the same way.
I was taken by both characters. Ellie is fun, loving and so full of life is hard to miss her while Logan is just a man’s man. Loyal, hardworking, always aware of his duty, but more than anything, he’s devout to Ellie and he won’t’ hesitate when it’s time to choose. As a couple, he’ll take care of her and she’ll bring the love, appreciation and enjoyment he’s been missing in his own life.
I really enjoyed the slow burn of this story, the years of yearning and fantasizing this couple goes through until the reality of the frailty of life comes crashing and he decides it’s better to have love and lost than not love at all.
As usual, the writing is amazing and the story is funny, sexy and romantic and one you won’t want to miss.

5 stars

Royally Endowed seals the deal for me. It seals the fact that this is my all time favorite romance books that involve royalty to date. I couldn’t get enough of the first two books but this one? OMG! It was everything that I expected and so much more.

Royally Endowed revolves around Olivia’s younger sister who is Prince Nicholas’ wife who is featured in Book 1: Royally Screwed. Technically, Ellie shouldn’t be considered royalty but given how close she is with the Duchess she is bound to the Royal Family, therefore, needing security and protection as much as they do.

Logan St. James is a fierce, young and loyal bodyguard that was offered to protect Ellie beginning at the age of seventeen. He thought that she was beautiful back then but never acted on it. He respectfully kept his distance. As he witnesses her mature over the years however the attraction becomes so unbearable especially when Ellie discloses exactly how she feels about him.

There is a lot of back and forth between the two. I won’t go into the precise details (coz where is the fun in that?) but something potentially heartbreaking and terrifying occurs that throws all the stops out the window. From then on he becomes everything that she would ever need and want in life but as fascinating as the romance is between them their relationship doesn’t come as easy as one would predict.

The beauty of the series is how the previous couples become involved in their plight. Yes, I am happy to say that we see every single one of the couples of the previous books. You think it would be overwhelming? Not so much. Their lives are so deeply intertwined, Emma Chase made it out to where ALL of them complimented Ellie and Logan perfectly.

This is the one word I would use to describe this book – PERFECT. The angst, the romance, the intrigue, the fun and laughter and also the suspense played out beautifully throughout the entire book. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Royally Endowed is without a doubt a one-click-er. I definitely recommend reading the series.

4.5 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.

“Happy endings are for all of us.“

When Logan St. James makes a commitment he sticks to it. After his childhood he promised not to go down the same road as the rest of his family. He's worked hard and made a life for himself that had gotten him right where he is now.

Ellie Hammond has a good head on her shoulders even if she seems a little flaky at times. She know what she wants and isn't afraid to take risks. From the minute she laid eyes on Logan he's all she's ever wanted. She's acted on her feelings, but all that changes now.

They've skirted around their attraction for years, but when an unexpected event occurs there is no longer a reason to fight it.

Can two people that have a strong connect make it work even though their backgrounds are vastly different? Or will an outside force make that decision for them?

Wow! Wow! Wow! Talk about a slow burn that erupts into an all consuming flame.

Logan and Ellie sizzle right from the start. I love Logan comes to Ellie's aide in more ways than one, she's his whole world. The best part is that Ellie would do the same for him without a second thought. Their passion is intense and you can feel it radiate off the page.

Royally Endowed is a stunning story about two people that always knew they wanted each other but had to wait until the right time to make it happen. Logan is a protector and will do whatever it takes to make Ellie safe and happy. Ellie is a smart, strong woman that is kind, sweet, and completely lovely.

I loved every second the Royally Endowed and couldn't get enough of this spectacular couple. It's fun, witty, and completely captivating. I laughed, I cried, and swooned. I've loved this series and each book just keeps better and better. And I must confess Logan is me favorite.

I highly recommend The Royally Series and especially Royally Endowed. Emma has a knack for telling a story that will fascinate the reader from start to finish.

Aww… what a sweet and delightful romance! Royally Endowed by Emma Chase is the third book in her Royally Series and features Olivia’s younger sister, Ellie Hammond, and her royal bodyguard, Logan St. James. Full of fun, passion, and suspense, this is one royal family that I just cannot get enough of!

Emma Chase is definitely one of my favorite storytellers, and there is a true comfort I always find in reading her novels. I love how she incorporates such fun and wit into her stories with references to everything from TV shows, movies, comic books, and of course, music (Justin Timberlake is my favorite)! Combined, they all make her characters so incredibly down to earth and realistic, and she just makes me laugh! I truly enjoyed the quirky characters in the story, and the dual point of views gave even more depth into Ellie’s fun personality and revealed Logan’s soft inner side as well.

The writing was perfectly paced and not overly angsty, just enough to keep you guessing whether this unlikely pair could overcome their obstacles in being together. Chase did a fantastic job in really pulling me in with Ellie’s and Logan’s feelings for each other and it was a very emotional journey for them. There was so much heart to their story, and it certainly wasn’t an easy path for them, which also made the story quite suspenseful!

I loved seeing more of Nicholas, Olivia, Henry, and Sara from the previous books in the series, whose stories of finding happiness are equally amazing. Even Queen Lenora, compared to a ‘scarier, meaner Mary Poppins,’ shows her heart and true feelings with the children as well. They are the true sense of family in every way!

Emma Chase has done such a remarkable job in this Royally Series, making me adore this royal family, feeling as if it is one of my own, and believing that yes, fairytales and Happily Ever After’s do come true!

My gosh, I love this series! Each book has grabbed me by the heart and made me fall in love with its characters. And this one was no different. I eagerly devoured each page...all the time swooning over Logan and wanting to be real-life friends with Ellie. This book brought the humor and fun, the romance and sizzle, and my ultimate favorite...the slow burn. Trust me, this is a story that will capture your heart and your soul.

From the very first page, I knew that Logan St. James was a force to be reckoned with and I gladly let him take the lead. His strength, both physical and of character, is undeniable. And his sexiness almost melted my kindle. I love how he treated Ellie with such care - her knight in shining armor. Ellie is a smart, strong, sassy, girl. She wants to live life to it's fullest and her enthusiasm is contagious. Her lust for life captures Logan's attention from the very beginning...even though he's not sure it's a smart idea. This book is a journey for both of them and it isn't always easy. But, through it all, they trust, respect, and protect each other, proving they are perfect together. *sigh*

I can't possibly end this review without telling you how much I enjoyed seeing the characters from the previous books, especially my Henry! I loved watching them all interact and seeing what was going on in their lives during moments that I hadn't been privy to in the previous books. Once again, Ms. Chase has given me a book that I didn't want to put down, that I read on the sly at work, and that definitely has a spot on my favorites list. Ultimately, this is a beautiful, sexy, romance. If you're not reading Ms. Chase's words you're doing yourself a disservice...go get this book, or any book in this series...trust me, you need it in your life!!

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.

This series just keeps getting better and better!! If you were in love with Royally Screwed + Matched, then Royally Endowed is going to turn you into an obsessive fan. Emma Chase delivered one of her best when it came to this story and I truly loved every minute of it.

Being the sister of the now famous dutchess has it perks and it’s certainly an honor but aside from those things, Ellie Hammond has a fierce love for her sister that goes beyond any royal connections. In order to ensure her protection because she’s now a part of the Royal Family, Ellie has been assigned to a few bodyguards to keep her safe until she finishes school in New York. But what happens when you fall for the one person who’s sworn to protect you?

Logan St.James didn’t always have an easy life and because of that, he’s a hard worker to a fault. Protecting the Royal family is something that he takes very seriously but being entrusted to take care of Ellie? That’s a downright animalistic need to ensure her safety at all times. Logan knows that falling for someone like Ellie isn’t in the cards for him but try telling that to his heart.

I have honestly fallen in love with this series so hard! Logan was the epitome of the perfect guy. He was strong and protective but he also had a sweet side and I loved seeing that. This story was about finding love when you least expected it and all under the watchful eye of the public. Ellie and Logan were perfect for each other and getting to see what the Royal gang has been up to was the icing on the cake. This is one series that you can’t afford to miss out on so get to it!

Logan is a bodyguard, he started working for the royal family very young and he was assigned to protect princess Olivia's sister: Ellie. Even though Ellie is beautiful, sassy and very young, they're actually close in age and despite their differences Logan is drawn to her but Ellie is also his job. Protecting the royal family is not only Logan's duty, it's is life and his honor. Logan is intense, brooding, sexy, has a heart of gold and his sense of honor is very strong, so will he give in to his feelings for Ellie?

Ellie is a sweet, innocent, young woman who happens to be Olivia's sister. Since Olivia fell in love with Nicholas, Ellie's life changed a lot. She's studying really hard in her senior year in high school while she tries to run her family bakery but now she's part of the royal family and that means protection 24/7. And she's realizing she doesn't mind that protection at all when it's provided by broody Logan... But will she be able to break Logan's restraint?

The story takes place over several years so Logan and Ellie's attraction increases as time goes by and the slow build up between them hooked me from the very first second. Their bond keeps growing and their relationship is genuine, refreshing and real as it evolves from friends to star crossed lovers.

Royally Endowed is an amazing slow burn story, brilliantly written with an epic prologue that kept me glued to my Kindle and a stunning epilogue, absolutely perfect for hopeless romantics like me!

(And there's a Walking Dead reference, totally loved it!)

From the moment she met Logan St. James, Ellie Hammond had a huge crush for the royal bodyguard. After years getting to know each other and spending time together, Ellie's feeling grew to something more. But will Logan ever see her as more than a part of his job? Does he feel the same for her?

I loved Royally Endowed! The story has the right amount of drama, laughter, twists, and steamy scenes. It hooked me from the first page and I couldn't stop reading! The prologue is amazing and captivating, and the epilogue is so beautiful!

Twenty-two year old Ellie Hammond just graduated from college and now wants a happy ending just like her sister. And she wants it with Logan. But she's afraid he'll reject her. She's a very loving and positive person, sassy and fierce.
Logan St. James loves his job as a royal bodyguard. He's proud of what he does and isn't afraid of danger. He's very quiet and brooding. He loves Ellie, but doesn't believe he'll ever be enough for her.

I loved Royally Endowed! The story has the perfect mix of sweet, sexy, and drama. The characters are amazing and I couldn’t help but cheer for them. Emma Chase gives us a phenomenal book, flawlessly written, making it very easy to connect with the story and the characters. I can't wait to read more about the royal family of Wessco!

Royally Endowed by Emma Chase

I've been so looking forward to Logan and Ellie's story and Chase does not disappoint. Logan is bodyguard to the Royals and Ellie is younger sister to the new Princess, Olivia. These two couldn't be further opposite and complement each other more at the same time. Ellie is bubbly, effusive, sucks the life out of lemons whereas Logan is serious, stoic, and reserved. While there's certainly an attraction on Ellie's part, one can never be too sure what Logan is thinking.

I adored this story. It's possibly my favorite of the series and I think it's because Royally Endowed was just really romantic. It had somewhat of a forbidden feel to it and that's something I enjoy. I loved revisiting characters past and getting a bit more insight into their current lives. I think Ellie is everyone's little sister: she's so full of life and joy that you can't help but want the very best for her! And Logan. Sweet Lord, Logan. Ruthless, deadly, delicious. Perfect. Let's just say that I'm on the hunt for more stories involving bodyguard - thank you Ms Chase!

A fabulous read and wonderful series. Absolutely recommend.

It’s no secret that I ADORE absolutely EVERYTHING this woman writes, but with her latest addition to her INCREDIBLE Royally Series, there was something about Logan and Ellie’s love story that took it BEYOND what I can put into words. So I’ll be quick and to the point. I LOVED THIS BOOK! I loved every single thing about it. From the teaser prologue to the beautiful epilogue, no one writes sweet and sexy romance like the amazing Emma Chase. I feel like I’ve been waiting for forever for Logan and Ellie’s romance. Their slow-burn, passionate, and sexy story made my heart soar and my body ignite. Prince and princesses aren’t the only ones who get their happily ever after, and Ms. Chase gives us one that we will NEVER forget.

The Royally Series is my absolute FAVORITE series that this author has created, with ROYALLY ENDOWED being a series FAVORITE! A bodyguard and his ward fall harder for each other with each passing year, yet they do nothing about it. The storyline right there is enough to get your motor running. Put Emma Chase’s signature sexy style on it, and you got yourself an EXPLOSIVE and UNFORGETTABLE love story. ROYALLY ENDOWED was absolutely BRILLIANT and ENCHANTING! I NEVER wanted it to end!

*ARC provided by the author*

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.

There was a moment while reading Royally Screwed that I had to stop reading and pull up Goodreads to see which characters would get the next two books in the Royally series. I was only vaguely excited for Henry's book — yet wound up loving it — but I straight up yelped and cheered when I saw Logan and Ellie would be paired up in Royally Endowed. There was something about the chemistry between them that had me shipping them from the start. Waaaaay before I probably should've been, to be honest. I loved knowing they would be end game and I was very much looking forward to their story. And guess what? It was everything I wanted and more.

Ellie and Logan had this great slow burn thing going on and this book covers quite a span in time. I'm not usually big on when there are large jumps in time while I'm reading, but it worked really well here. I feel like they had to advance it some for it to feel "right" to root for Ellie and Logan. It was delightful to watch how they grew — and how things grew between them — from bodyguard to friend to much more. The whole progression just felt so real. I was so here for it, too. 

While I loved each of the couples in the Royally series, there was just something special about Ellie and Logan and their story. Maybe it was because we knew them for such a long time in book world? Or maybe it was just because they were who they were. The Duchess's little sister and one of the Duke's body guards? The one who just happened to be keeping her safe, too? Perfection. I couldn't get enough of their chemistry and banter in the beginning, innocent as it was at the time, and loved the passion later even more so.

I love the woman Ellie became during this series. Logan was super freaking swoony and amazing, too. Together they were basically perfect. Their story was so sweet and fun and sexy, with all the feels I want in my reading. I loved it so much. I can't wait to see what comes next in this series!  

OMG are you kidding me with this book – When the summary was released I had to dig inside my brain and try and remember who the heck Logan was, because honestly I was waaaay more focused on Nicholas while reading his book #sorrynotsorry.

That said… I will never, ever, ever forget him now.

I absolutely loved this from the very first page to the last and I am having a hard time writing a semi-coherent review.

This story is told in quite a few time jumps, which didn’t bother as much as I thought it might.
There was no choice though, because Logan and Ellie’s story begins right around the time that Nicholas and Olivia’s does so the timeline is similar, but their love story spans years and I loved every second of getting to know them and watch them fall in love.

I always liked Ellie, I love her effervescence and her joy for just everything, and that just shines through in this story. She’s smart, and witty, and fun, and sweet and probably one of my favorite heroines I’ve read in a long time.

I love Logan. Like … love, love him. I don’t know what it is about the rough around the edges tough guy with a soft heart for the girl he loves. It just does all the things to me… and when he calls her Lass I swear I swooned every single time.

Watching these two fight their feelings year after year after year and never caving… The slow burn is real you guys, but so absolutely worth every second you spend screaming “KISS HER ALREADY” in your head. And when they do finally come together… it’s explosive and amazing and everything I wanted for them.

I will tell you that we get quite a bit of Nicholas and Olivia and Henry and Sarah in this book… and even Queen Lenora is in here too! They are all actually a big part of the story but not in an overwhelming way… this truly was Ellie & Logan’s story and I just can’t get enough of them. I truly hope that maybe we’ll get to see more from Wessco in the future!

If you haven’t yet started this series yet… I don’t know how many more times I can yell at you to do so! If you love fun, sexy, sweet romance combined with the drama of a royal family, you must read these books!! These have a permanent spot on my favorites shelf for a good reason, and I can’t wait to read whatever Emma writes next!

Emma Chase does it again! 'Royally Endowed' is the perfect mix of sweet, sexy, and very funny. She has nailed the RomCom and this adds to her impressive library of books.

From the moment Logan walked into her life, Ellie was completely smitten. The loyal guard & the princess's sister are not socially acceptable. Logan comes from the wrong side of the tracks, & everyone has grand fairytale plans for Ellie that don't include her hero. He knows that Ellie has a crush on him, he keeps it all locked up since she is underage. Ellie grows up to be an even more impossibly beautiful woman and Logan’s willpower is being utterly tested.

Logan becomes everything to Ellie & she fights for what she wants. Life seems nearly perfect for the passionate couple however in order to live a happily ever after together, Logan must give up his job as the Royals bodyguard... As he has come from nothing this is a big ask...

It's a lovely story... a perfect fairytale... 4.5 Stars.

Another fantastic fairytale in the Royally series. But this time it wasn't a Princess and her Prince. It was simply a girl and her hero. I loved it.
It was interesting seeing how the other side lives not the commoners but the royal family with no title.
Ellie was the sister of the Princess not royalty but part of the royal family none the less.
Logan was a royal guard he lived to protect the royal family All Of Them.
It was sweet how she carried a crush for him and infuriating how he fought his feelings out of so called "loyalty" for YEARS!!!
Once the feelings were revealed Oh my years of pent up sexual tension was unleashed and they were HOT! Couldn't keep their hands off each anytime, any place nothing was sacred not even a royal throne.
I loved seeing the moments we missed in the other books the royal births and the royal weddings.
Kind of sad if this is the last one. I want more of this fun royal family!

Gah, I have been so excited for Ellie and Logan’s story and when I saw this amazing cover and blurb, I was hooked. I love friends to lovers story but this was so much more. Logan and Ellie’s book spans years and every day, every month, every dang year I fell more in love with them. They go from virtual strangers to acquaintances but it isn’t long before Logan is charmed by Ellie. Who wouldn’t be? She’s fun, spontaneous, and above all selfless and sweet. Her grab life by the balls attitude made me smile on more than one occasion and I found myself loving her just as much as Logan did.

What can I say about this series? It just seems to be getting better and better. I can’t get enough of these sweet, hilarious men and the heroines that steal their hearts and give them a little bit of hell along the way. These books are laugh out loud funny and somehow manage to still have the perfect blend of swoon and angst. No one does romcom quite like Emma Chase

When Nicholas takes Olivia back with him and Prince Henry to Wessco, Prince Nicholas asks his primary bodyguard and friend, Logan St.James to stay behind with several other bodyguards to watch over Ellie and the cafe. Ellie now in her last year of high school develops an almost immediate crush on the tall, muscular, handsome bodyguard, Logan. He is about 5 years older than Ellie, but far older in life experiences. He is enchanted by the carefree spirit and youthful enthusiasm for life that is Ellie. He does his best to remain detached and professional, but there is a tiny spark that will not be totally extinguished.

After several months, Ellie travels to the Wessco palace to be with her now pregnant sister, Princess Olivia of Pembroke. Logan continues to be Ellie's main bodyguard. As Ellie has now graduated from high school, she begins to mature, especially under the guidance of the queen, her sister, and Prince Nicholas, but most especially as her feelings towards Logan have themselves matured.

As many others have commented, theirs is a slowly developing emotional fire that eventually blazes to life.

All three of these romances are like eating three huge boxes of chocolates or three pints of your favorite icecream. Simply delicious romance at its finest. This was my first exposure to Emma Chase's writing and I am now reading the the stories of the legal team by Emma. She has become an author on my must buy list. 5 fabulous stars!

Royally Endowed is the story of Olivia's sister, Ellie, and her bodyguard, Logan. Star crossed lovers from different sides of the tracks, these two kind of 'grew up' together in a sense and are quite the yin/yang pair. Logan started guarding Ellie when she was a senior in high school and he was 22 years old. 5 years later, Ellie is tired of waiting and wants to let Logan know how she feels. Logan can't help but feel that he is the wrong guy for Ellie.

Ellie was a bit self centered in Royally Screwed. She was young and didn't quite have a grasp on all that Olivia had taken on. So, I was pleased to see a young lady who has stepped up in her sister's absence! Her loneliness is heartbreaking!! She is happy for her sister of course, but she misses her. She wants to finish high school, get a college degree, and be someone. Her dedication is admirable. She admits that having the bodyguards is nice; she isn't used to someone (other than Olivia) caring and that made my heart break a little for her.

Logan's reticence is understandable in regards to Ellie. She is young when they first meet, she is his JOB, and he feels that he would be holding her back. Understanding it and accepting it are two VERY different things though. I wanted him to fight for her. Years go by and he keeps her at arms length.

Speaking of years going by, the story takes place concurrently and after the time frame of both Royally Screwed and Royally Matched. It was kind of like a behind the scenes peek into what Ellie was up to during the times we, as readers, were focused on the royal family!

I loved getting more of Olivia and Nicolas and Henry and Sarah! Their presence in the book was fairly significant and I really enjoyed it. Really, they are the connection between Ellie and Logan, so it makes sense. I think because of the time frame of the story, parts of the book (especially the first 40% or so) felt so slow to me. We start when Ellie is a senior in high school, then she goes through 4 years of college and a 'gap year'. Nothing happens between her and Logan until after college, so the first part of the story is really the coming of age tale of Ellie. I enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but it felt slow and I had trouble getting into the story as quickly as I did the previous two books. However, once these two were honest with each other (finally!), the story moved along well and I was totally sucked in!

If you ever wondered what happened to Pippa Middleton, Royally Endowed is the perfect fairy tale story for you! Forbidden love, crazy family dynamics, psychotic stalkers, and true love fill the pages of Royally Endowed and will leave you knowing that happily ever after is for everyone.

Forbidden fruit. Who doesn’t want it?

Adam and Eve couldn’t stay away from it once temptation began. For Logan St. James, it took him five years before he bit down on that forbidden fruit that is his watch, Ellie.

Ellie grabs the lemon and sucks it dry. She wants to live life to the fullest, each and every single day and that begins with going after the man that has been her hero ever since he entered into her life.

There is a lot of tension between Ellie and Logan as they try to fight their feelings for one another as they try to fight their feelings, which makes for an explosive reunion when they finally get together. When they finally give into their feelings, they dive deep and don’t come for air until it hits the fan. Where Logan has to choose between his two greatest loves: his job and her.

I love reading the royally family because in this book we get to see a lot of all three couples (which is good to see how they faired after their stories ended). I loved seeing their HEA since the last pages and the light way that Emma Chase writes is what keeps you wanting more.

Fated love is something that we all want in life. When you meet that person that we are destined to be for and bam, that’s it. You are together forever. That’s what this story is all about. It’s about how Rhett and Kennedy come together after both experience a life without parents, though in different ways. They bond of their heartbreak and learn how to make a new family, together.

While I love the idea of a fated love story, I just wish there was more of that build up (denial). The second that Rhett sees Kennedy, that is it, he’s gone for. There is no hesitation or time to think about it, he’s gone. For me, I just felt it rushed that part of the story because you didn’t get to see that part where they fall in love. And let’s be honest, that’s the best part of a love story.

Outside of that, the rest of the story flows well. Once they are together you get to see them build that life together. But of course, it’s not going to be just easy peasy for the happy couple. There is a problem that comes to light that challenges everything that they are building.

I have absolutely loved being immersed in the Royal world of Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses. Now we have Ellie, who was born a non-Royal. But her sister now being a Princess has put her in a whole different spotlight and a whole different standing, one that comes with a sexy brooding bodyguard named Logan. Now with all kinds of connections Ellie could live a cushy Royal life right along side her sister. But does she really want that? More than anything, she wants to be valued, loved and protected. After years of close contact with her assigned bodyguard Logan she can't help but have feelings that build and build for him.

"He’s gorgeous, but even more than that—he makes me feel wanted. Valued and important, like I’m someone worth protecting. Knowing this man would give his life to shield me, guard me from pain or danger—it’s a heady thing. An arousing, stirring thing."

Logan on the other hand is trying his hardest to keep his eyes off Ellie. Day in and out he's there by her side, having her gaze up longingly at him, very obviously crushing on him and tempting him. Ever the professional Logan has kept a blank stare and appeared to ignore her attention for years. Eventually all that suppressed tension is going to explode...

"Somebody once told me a slow-burning fire is the hottest—and it must be true. Because Logan and I are a f***ing inferno."

Not able to take it anymore these two chance a relationship together. Of course it doesn't come without it's major complications. Between the disapproval of the Queen, attack of the media, feelings of self worth and a whole lot of other outside influences their road was never going to be an easy one.

“I’m going to helI for this,” I mutter. Ellie grins. “Then you should make the most of it before you burn.”

Logan and Ellie's story built a beautiful friendship turned into a hot relationship. While these two aren't exactly Royals by blood, they're constantly surrounded by the Royals themselves. You're still emerged in this enchanting and interesting world in Wessco. Previous characters from the series make constant appearances and there's a few fun updates to their stories you get to experience.

Move along ladies and take the royal boys with you!  I'm sticking with the bodyguard!!

I keep waiting for Emma Chase to throw a dud.  I just don't understand how every book, every hero/heroine, every plot can shine as brightly as it's predecessor.  I've shouted from the rooftops that Drew (Tangled) is by far my all time favorite book boyfriend, however, there have been a few close contenders and I'm now adding Logan St. James to that list.

He's been Ellie's bodyguard since her sister hooked up with Prince Nicholas of Wessco.  She's left with the bakery, high school, her drunk dad, and a few bodyguards to keep her safe.  Ellie is mature yet a very normal teenage girl who swoons easily with all that testosterone hanging around every day.  Not sure she every expected that the one constant in her life wouldn't even be her family.

For Logan this is just a job.  He's worked hard to get where he is.  He's completely devoted to the royal family.  Duty always comes first, no matter how much he finds himself caring for Ellie.  She's an important member of the royal family.  She's definitely above his pay grade.

I loved how this story was laid out.  Going back in time to give us some foundation, while leading up several years after Ellie has graduated high school.  Emma Chase did a beautiful job of allowing their relationship to grow slowly, organically. It was a natural progression for both characters.  The sexual tension too...whew....hot stuff my friends.

Add in some danger and intrigue and you're in for one heck of a roller coaster.  Everyone has an agenda.  At the end of the day the Queen still rules the land AND the people.  You'll be rooting for Ellie and Logan though just like I was.
