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.

Reviews
Royally Endowed by Emma Chase was a capturing read that gripped you from the first page to the last. I couldn’t put down this fantastic book. It had all the components of a romance that I love. The forbidden romance, the secrecy, mystery, and passion. Every word that I read was a thrill.
Since starting this series I fell in love with all the characters. I have been waiting for Logan and Ellie’s story since book 1 and Emma Chase nailed it with this book. This series is all together epic.
Logan is the bodyguard and Ellie is the sister of the girl Logan is protecting, which is Olivia the wife of a Royal. You see how this is a problem for Logan? He can’t fall for her. He doesn’t let himself. This book is not fast, it is slow and torturous. We get years of their lives together. I loved that! On top of that Logan is such a devoted man that it kills me!
Ellie is free-sprinted and a thrill. She is such an awesome character. I love that she does what she wants and accomplishes so much at the same time. This story is made for every reader.
Royally Endowed is a book that you must read. It will have you enchanted with its thrilling romance of forbidden love. I can’t rave about this series enough!
**4.5 Stars**
There is something about this series that I can't get enough
of. I was excited for Logan's story. I knew I was going to love it. Add in the
fact that it also involves Ellie and I was a happy camper! Everything about
Ellie and Logan was perfect. It was a slow burn romance that neither wanted to
give into- especially Logan. The story is set over a time frame so you get more
of Nicholas and Henry. Getting involved with Nicholas's sister in law has
trouble written all over it, which is a major reason why he resists. I
serioulsy couldn't get over how Ellie finally gets him in give in. Watching
them fall and give in was the best part of the story. Watching them come
together was perfect for each of their stories and made the series perfect.
Logan is my favorite male lead out of this entire series.
Ellie But then the mood shifts, as if the air becomes thicker, weighted, more . . . sultry. Because slowly, Logan sinks down to one knee in front of me—looking in my eyes the whole time. In this position, I could touch his shoulders, comb my fingers through his thick, dark hair. He’s the perfect height for me to bend down and kiss his mouth—the perfect height for him to kiss me back . . . in a lot of places. My breath hitches. And I wonder he feels it too. There’s a sound of tearing Velcro, and Logan takes something off his ankle—a holster, with a small silver knife, about three inches long. “Keep this on you all the time,” he says seriously. “Just in case. If you wear a skirt, the strap will fit around your thigh.” And I almost laugh. Most girls get a ring from a guy on his knees. I get a murder weapon. But still, it makes me feel safe . . . watched over. Like I’m something precious that deserves to be protected. I take the knife from him, testing the surprisingly solid, heavy weight of it in my hand. I press my index finger to the tip. Logan grabs my wrist tightly. “Careful. It’s sharp.” There’s a small, painless nick, a tiny bead of blood, so I put my finger in my mouth, sucking. And Logan’s watching me again. Watching my mouth. His chest seems to rise just a little faster, and his throat ripples when he swallows. He bends his head, curves his strong back, and then I feel his hands on my ankle, securing the strap. His touch is warm and self-assured. It’s the way he always moves—confident and experienced. Logan knows his body and he knows how to use it, in every way possible. I almost moan. The sound is in the back of my throat, but I keep it trapped. I never knew the ankle was an erogenous zone, but it sure as hell is now. A hot pulse of pleasure streaks from Logan’s fingers on my bare skin, up my thigh, between my legs. And I throb there, growing swollen and heavy as he keeps his hands on me. Can he tell? Does he know? He’s so aware of everything, always so attuned, I wonder if he can sense my arousal . . . feel it in the air that clings between us.
