About ‘Royally Endowed’ by Emma Chase:
Logan St. James is a smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times — but Ellie Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him??
Sexy. As. Hell.
And Ellie’s perky enough for both of them.
For years, she’s had a crush on the intense, gorgeous royal security guard — but she doesn’t think he ever saw her, not really.
To Logan, Ellie was just part of the job — a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now, at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever after.
The Queen of Wessco encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis… a viscount would also do nicely.
But in the pursuit of a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest to let go.
***
Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a family on the wrong side of the law. But these days, he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and… other body parts.
Any woman would be proud to call him hers.
But there’s only one woman he wants.
For years he’s watched over her, protected her, held her hair back when she was sick, taught her how to throw a punch, and spot a liar.
He dreams of her. Would lay down his life for her.
But beautiful Ellie Hammond’s off-limits.
Everybody knows the bodyguard rules: Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love.
‘Royally Endowed’ by Emma Chase review:
I’ll be honest, when the synopsis for Royally Endowed was first revealed I was curious as to how it would fit in with the rest of the series. It is called the Royally series after all, and neither the hero or heroine are technically royal in this one. That didn’t take away from the novel at all though, in fact this is actually my favorite of the series!
Royally Endowed has the same feel as the previous books in the series because both characters are still heavily involved with the royal family. Ellie has to deal with all of the same ups and downs that come along with being linked to the royal family after her sister falls for the prince. Ellie even has the chance to marry into royalty herself. Yet, her connection with the royal bodyguard Logan can’t be denied.
Logan may be just the bodyguard, but he’s very close with those he protects. He takes his job very seriously and wouldn’t hesitate to give his own life for one of them. It soon becomes clear that he’s very interested in one of those he’s protecting in general, which leaves him with some decisions to make.
One of my favorite parts about the novel is that it goes back and starts out five years ago, around the time in the first book in the series. Ellie’s sister Olivia makes the decision to go to Wessco to spend more time with the prince. But she only agrees to do so when help is left behind for her family. That leaves Logan to protect and serve a teenage Ellie that is a High School senior.
Although they clearly have a connection, Ellie is too young in the beginning and Logan knows she’s off limits. But the older she gets, and the longer they know each other, the less Logan cares that she’s supposed to be off limits. When he finally does realize that she’s worth the risk, their connection goes from super sweet to super sexy.
On top of all of that there’s a story line through the novel that affects all of the royal family. I don’t want to give anything away but it will leave you on the edge of your seat! Despite everything that Logan and Ellie have to go through to be together, readers will be rooting for the couple to get their own happily ever after.
Emma Chase is an amazingly talented author and I highly recommend any of her novels for those that haven’t read her before. For those that are already fans, you will not be disappointed by Royally Endowed. It’s totally worth the wait and I’m excited to see what Emma will have in store next!
Royally Endowed by Emma Chase will release on August 14! Pre-order is now from Amazon, iBooks, and Barnes & Noble. And don’t forget to add it to your Goodreads!
