REVIEWED BY Jess
Royally Endowed by Emma ChaseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
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!
