REVIEW | Royally yours by Emma Chase

I'm a little late with this one (SORRY!!) but I wanted to share with you my review about Emma Chase newest book: Royally Yours.

Take a look!!

Princess Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook had an unusual childhood. She was raised to be a Queen—the first Queen of Wessco.

It’s a big deal.

When she’s crowned at just nineteen, the beautiful young monarch is prepared to rule. She’s charming, clever, confident and cunning.

What she isn’t…is married.

It’s her advising council’s first priority. It’s what Parliament is demanding, and what her people want.

Lenora has no desire to tie herself to a man—particularly one who only wants her for her crown. But compromises must be made and royals must do their duty.

Even Queens. Especially them.

Years ago, Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke, walked away from his title and country. Now he’s an adventurer—climbing mountains, exploring jungles, going wherever he wants, when he wants—until family devotion brings him home.

And a sacred promise keeps him there.

To Edward, the haughty, guarded little Queen is intriguing, infuriating…and utterly captivating. Wanting her just might drive him mad—or become his greatest adventure.

Within the cold, stone walls of the royal palace—mistrust threatens, wills clash, and an undeniable, passionate love will change the future of the monarchy forever.

Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story.

This is theirs.

My review:

Let's start this saying this book took my breath away. For real! It wasn't what I was expecting. It was more. It was perfect! Emma Chase built a kingdom so pretty and exciting that I always want to get back, so when word got out this book was going to be published I knew I had to read it.

If you read the previous books, then you're familiar with Queen Lenora and have a certain image of her in your mind. This time around is her telling you the story. Her story. A tale so beautiful that it's impossible not to love it.

Lenora is a strong character, beautiful but rugged in the hardest circumstances. Reading her POV make some things I've read before made sense. I cried for her since the first chapters, because even being a princess (and then a queen) she was so powerless about her own life. Every decision was made for her. Even her clothes!! Lenora experimented at a young age what's to lose someone beloved and in some way that molded her character. Despite that, she was so lucky to find true friendship in court. And then, she found love.

When Edward appeared in the book I screamed in joy. Literally! It was 3am and everyone was sleepping, but I screamed, lol. Edward is an adventurer. He has a wanderer soul and a loving heart. And he was perfect for Lenora in every way. He was her rock in the hardest times and her refuge and everyday's journey. They complement each other in ways they didn't believe possible. It was so beautiful see them (or read them?) falling in love.

I'm happy Emma Chase decided to write this book. For all of you whom read and love the other books in the Royally series, I'm sure you'll be equally pleased with this title. I'm sure I am. Very. Deeply pleased.

#Review ROYALLY MATCHED by Emma Chase

After reading Royally Screwed I couldn't say no to this book.

And as the banner says...

What's better than a handsome prince? A wild one!

Certainly Henry Pembroock is the definition of wild. He loves to party hard and to fuck even harder. But when his brother gave up the throne to marry Olivia, the party was over for Henry and all the responsabilities he'd been avoinding over the years fell in front of him suddenly. He wasn't ready. At least, he thougt he wasn't.

Everyone was counting on him, her brother trusted him, but her grandma wasn't sure if Henry was understanding what was expected of him. She decided to give him some space, and then... well... shit got crazy.

I'm sure you've seen The Bachelor and reality shows similar to that one. Yeah?

What if I say Henry got involved in some kind of reality show to find a girlfriend. What if I say that he was bored enough to bite the bullet and bring that madness to his palace.

Would you believe me?

Well, that's exactly what happened, but the result of that adventure wasn't what Henry expected.

I loved this book. Maybe you're wondering why, maybe you think the blurb is cheesy or maybe you hate reality shows, but let me tell you... This book was freaking hilarious.

The story was funny, sweet, sexy and VERY romantic. Henry is so cute! He loves music, also he's talented. He can play the guitar and sing. He's also kind of misunderstood (who doesn't like the misunderstood guy?). He always lived under the shadow of his older brother. Nicholas was the favorite, the responsible and successful one, and Henry was just the party boy, the funny one... So, you got the feeling that he's overcompensating when he defies the Queen, calling out for attention.

Sarah, in the other hand, is so naïve and innocent. She's always taking care of her family and friends, she has a big heart and loves to read, she's passionate about what she believes, but she's shy.

This story about Henry and Sarah was absolutely breathtaking. It was impossible not to fall in love with them, laugh with them... But also cry with them. I loved the previous book, but this is my favorite in the series by far.

Henry evolved beautifully through the book. He wanted to change into the man Sarah deserves, but also Sara grew up wonderfully. Henry helped her to get out of her shell, build confidence, makes her feel strong enough to stand up for herself. It was beautiful and touching.

The last few chapters were truly heart-warming and moving. They take some time to prepare themselves for the future, to fulfill their duties. Reading Henry's letters was so sweet, to read how he expresed his feelings for Sarah but keeping that naughty part of himself was so romantic. And the epilogue was just magical.

I'm sure Emma Chase will surprise me with the next book. She always does it. Meanwhile I'll keep saying Henry and Sarah are my favorite couple in the series.

Can't wait for the next installment.

ABOUT ROYALLY MATCHED:

Some men are born responsible, some men have

responsibility thrust upon them. Henry John Edgar Thomas Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.

He’s not handling it well.

Hoping to force her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora goes on a much-needed safari holiday—and when the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:

Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.

A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.

While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.

The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit... and her naughty sense of humor.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.

As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

#CoverReveal 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, protective 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 bring him home to her family.

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.

EXCERPT:

Sarah stands up and presses her lips against mine. And it’s so unexpected, so surprising—I freeze up. But only for a moment. As her mouth gently moves over mine, I begin to thaw. She’s so fucking soft, her taste so very sweet. The kiss is almost chaste—at least it’s the most chaste I’ve ever had. Unpracticed.

And yet, it still manages to make my heart pound against my ribs like an animal in a cage.

“What are you doing?” I whisper, when she pulls back just a little.

“I’m distracting you.” She looks up at me uncertainly. From behind those ridiculously prim little glasses with those big, dark eyes that could bring me to my knees. “Is it working?”

My tongue traces my lower lip, craving more of her.

“I’m not sure. Keep trying—I’ll let you know.”

She smiles quick and relieved . . . and then she reaches back up, wraps her arms about my neck, and kisses me.

Her two lips envelop my lower one, then the upper, all eager, pleasing sweetness. My hands find Sarah’s lower back and I pull her in close, tight against me. Slowly, I open my mouth and she mirrors my movement, opening for me. And it’s good. So very, very good.

It’s like my blood has turned to gasoline, and the touch of her wet, warm tongue is the spark.

I delve deeper, kiss her harder—more demanding—taking the lead. I cup her head in my hands, holding her still while I plunge and devour. A moan seeps from her lips and I devour that too.

But then, breathing harshly, I tear my mouth away.

“Sarah, maybe we shouldn’t. Maybe we should just—”

“I’m sick of being afraid, Henry. And I’m so tired of being alive . . . but not really living. I’ve wanted this for a long time. I want . . . you.” It’s only then that hesitation dims her eyes. “Do you want me too?”

I grip her arms. “More than I’ve wanted anything or anyone in my entire life.”

She takes my hands in hers, lifts them and presses my palms to her breasts. They’re soft and full and absolutely perfect.

“Show me.”

Beneath her robe, her bedclothes are paper thin. I trace my thumbs across her nipples, feeling them harden and peak. I want to suck on them until she’s mindless. I want to lick every inch of her skin and watch her flush with desire.

I wrap my arms around Sarah and lift her right off her feet. With a groan, my mouth is back to hers. Her small pretty hands cup my jaw as I carry her toward the bed. I stop against a wall on the way, knocking a frame sideways, lifting her leg in one hand and wrapping it around my hip so I can thrust against her.

There’s so much I know—deviant, filthy, lovely moves. And I want to teach her every damn one.
