AUTHOR: Emma Chase GENRE: NA Romance PAGES: 275 RELEASED: 14 August 2017 ROYALLY: Royally #3 SYNOPSIS: 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. 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 |
