[Release Blitz] Royally Yours by Emma Chase

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.

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.

About Emma Chase

[Review Blitz] Royally Matched by Emma Chase

Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry Charles Albert Edgar 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.

OMG. That is how I am starting this review because this book was spectacular. Royally Matched by Emma Chase has now become one of my favorite books EVER. I adored every single word in Royally Matched and I was captivated by it from start to finish. I did not want to put down this book down even for a second. Emma Chase you absolutely stole the crown with this book. I can't get over it. It is going to stay in my heart forever, that is how phenomenal it was.

Prince Henry and Sarah are meant to be together. Reading this book just confirmed everything for me. Henry is arrogant and wild but what I wasn't expecting was such grandeur and utter perfection. He is someone that you fall hard and fast for and that was me. I was sinking into his charm of manliness. Sarah Von Titebottum is the bookworm that we all root for. She is timid and quiet and loves to read, but she is fierce. I was loving this leading lady so much. I fell in love with her character, her strength, and her development thought-out the story. It was just brilliant what Emma Chase did for this girl. She was the best character I've read in a long time. To have Prince Henry after her was magical!

The story and the wit and character of these two people paired with a reality dating show was so much fun to watch. We had the craziness that was happening on camera and the sweet and romantic scenes that were unfolding with Henry and Sarah. It couldn't get better than that! I loved every bit of it.

Royally Matched made me passionate about reading and Emma Chase is one mesmerizing author that kept my heart swooning. I am forever going to continue reading her words because Royally Matched just engraved the beauty that are Emma Chase's words. I am beyond excited for more work from here n the future.

**5 Stars**

Let me start off my saying, I love this new series by Emma. This is book 2 and I absolutely love it. It can be read as a standalone, but I think you should read book 1 first. That you way you can fall in with with Nicholas and Olivia. Plus you get to meet Henry and you appreciate him even more.

I knew I was going to love Henry after we met him in Royally Screwed, but I wasn't prepared for how much I was going to love him. He is my favorite brother and just perfect. He is wild, arrogant, hot, full of charm but there is also this side of him I wasn't prepared for. He truly is complex, but when you get to know him you can't help but fall in love with him. Henry meets Sarah and you can't help but fall for him harder. You see this utterly sweet and caring side I knew he had, but I wasn't prepared for.

Sarah Van Titebottum is my soul character- the bookworm who lands the hottest man possible. I love her character has a passion for reading, that is owns her body and soul. She is quiet, but man is she fierce. She handled Henry so well, I don't think there are two characters more perfect for each other. Their connection isn't one you'd think would happen, but when it does you can't help but love them each a little more for coming together.

Henry and Sarah's love story is my favorite of 2017. The feelings and utter perfection of their story is one I can't wait to read again. I love their coming together and their pure love for each other. Sarah brings out the best in Henry and I couldn't love her more for it.

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.

[Review] Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

Nicholas Arthur Frederick Edward Pembrook, Crowned Prince of Wessco, aka His Royal Hotness, is wickedly charming, devastatingly handsome, and unabashedly arrogant; hard not to be when people are constantly bowing down to you.

Then, one snowy night in Manhattan, the prince meets a dark haired beauty who doesn't bow down. Instead, she throws a pie in his face.

Nicholas wants to find out if she tastes as good as her pie, and this heir apparent is used to getting what he wants.

Dating a prince isn't what waitress Olivia Hammond ever imagined it would be.

There's a disapproving queen, a wildly inappropriate spare heir, relentless paparazzi, and brutal public scrutiny. While they've traded in horse drawn carriages for Rolls Royces, and haven't chopped anyone's head off lately, the royals are far from accepting of this commoner.

But to Olivia, Nicholas is worth it.

Nicholas grew up with the whole world watching, and now Marriage Watch is in full force. In the end, Nicholas has to decide who he is and, more importantly, who he wants to be: a King... or the man who gets to love Olivia forever.

Review

Royally Screwed by Emma Chase is a book I had been wanting to read since it released! I am so happy I finally got the chance to dive into this book. It was royal perfection. It made my heart so happy and I got to experience the crown. I love books that are about kings and queens. It's just something about these books that make you feel special just by reading them.

I think the books starts off perfectly. With Olivia and her world. We see her struggle and get a little background into her history and what is going on in her life. Olivia has so much going on and she is a hardworking woman. It is amazing but sad to see at the same time. She doesn't get a lot of time to herself. Nicholas on the other hand is royalty. He has everything, but he has also suffered a sad past. He intrigued me from the start and it is amazing how it starts off all the way until the end of this book.

Nicholas wants Olivia and he has to worked hard for her. She is not easily won over and I love that about her. He is so cute and it is so fun to watch him try and catch her attention. He is instantly lovable! I love watching them do so many things together and fall in love. This book changes settings which was so much fun! We have a little bit happening in the U.S. and then we go to Nicholas and his country in Wesco. I thought that was brilliant. I go to experience so much while reading. It was as if I was traveling there myself.

Emma Chase did brilliant wonders with Royally Screwed. I was captivated throughout the whole book. I am super excited for this series to continue because I can't get enough of all these characters. They are all marvelous!

EXCERPT

“Are you a virgin?” I ask. “Well . . . yes.” “Then why are you complaining? You qualify.” Sarah’s eyes flash with annoyance. “Because I’m more than my hymen, Henry! To base the value of an accomplished, intelligent woman on a flimsy piece of skin is degrading. How would you feel if your worth rested on your foreskin?” I think it over. And then I grin. “I’d be all right with that, actually. I’ve heard it was an impressive foreskin—all the nurses were fawning over it. It’s probably being showcased in a museum right now.” She stares at me for a beat, then she laughs out loud—a rich, throaty, sensual sound. “You’re a terrible human being.” “I know.” I shake my head at the calamity of it all. “And you’re an even worse feminist.” “Agreed. That’s something I need to work on. You’ll help me, won’t you? We should spend as much time together as possible—every minute of the day and night. I’m hoping you’ll rub off on me.” Sarah pushes my shoulder. “You’re just hoping I’ll rub you off.” Now it’s my turn to laugh. Because she’s not even a little bit wrong. “But there’s never been anyone? Really?” Sarah shrugs. “Penny and I were tutored at home when we were young . . . but in year ten, there was this one boy.” I rub my hands together. “Here we go—tell me everything. I want all the sick, lurid details. Was he a footballer? Captain of the team, the most popular boy in school?” “He was captain of the chess team.” I cover my eyes with my hand. “His name was Davey. He wore these adorable tweed jackets and bow ties, he had blond hair and was a bit pale because of the asthma. He had the same glasses as me and he had a different pair of argyle socks for every day of the year.” “I am so disappointed in you right now.” “He was nice,” she chides. “You leave my Davey alone.” I shake my head. “So what happened to old Davey boy?” “I was alone in the library one day and he came up and started to ask me to the spring social. And I was so excited and nervous I could barely breathe. And then before he could finish the question, I . . .” I don’t realize I’m leaning toward her until she stops talking and I almost fall over. “You . . . what?” Sarah hides behind her hands. “I threw up on him.” And I try not to laugh. I swear I try . . . but I’m only human. So I end up laughing so hard the car shakes and I can’t speak for several minutes. “Christ almighty.” “And I’d had fish and chips for lunch.” Sarah’s laughing too. “It was awful.” “Oh you poor thing.” I shake my head, still chuckling. “And poor Davey.” “Yes.” She wipes under her eyes with her finger. “Poor Davey. He never came near me again after that.” “Coward—he didn’t deserve you. I would’ve swam through a whole lake of puke to take a girl like you to the social.” She smiles so brightly at me, her cheeks maroon and round like two shiny apples. “I think that’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.” I wiggle my eyebrows. “I’m all about the compliments.” RM-FB-promo-6

Review

**4.5 stars**

I am a huge Emma Chase fan so I couldn't wait to get my hands on this story. The cover alone would have been reason to read the story, but after reading it? The story itself makes it even better! Prince Nicholas is hot and watching him fall for Olivia is even hotter.

Nicholas, the hot prince of Wessco. I think he is one of my favorite Emma characters to date. He says what he thinks and goes with it. He lives his life with security, he tries to stay out of the public eye and doesn't do relationships. Every aspect of his life is planned, including who he is to marry. After being sent to Manhattan by Queen, he isn't prepared for the change his will take when he meets Olivia.

Olivia is the glue to her family. She's tough, she gorgeous, yet she doesn't live her life to that fullest due to running the family business. After a snow storm that shuts the city down her life changes in ways she wasn't prepared for. Meeting Nicholas came out of left field. He intrigues her in a way she's never been intrigued before and gives her a reason to get out and adventure.

Overall, I would have to say this is one of my all time favorite books by Emma. The loved Nicholas and Olivia. I loved how their story unfolded, the adventure and the romance was fitting for them. I feel like they found themselves in each other, this made the story even sweeter.

I can't wait to read the rest of this series. I'm ready for Henry's story.

Excerpt

She’s even lovelier than I remembered, than I dreamed. Delicate midnight tendrils frame a face that belongs in a museum—with stunning dark sapphire eyes that should be commemorated in vibrant oils and soft watercolors. If Helen launched a thousand ships, this girl could raise a thousand hard-ons.

She’s prettily made, the top of her head coming only to my chin, but fantastically curvy. Great full tits that strain the buttons of a wrinkled white blouse, shapely hips in a black skirt tapering to a tiny waist I could wrap my hands around and toned legs encased in sheer black tights finish off the whole package very nicely.

An unfamiliar anxiousness fizzes like soda in my gut.

“The door was open,” I explain.

“It’s broken.”

Logan flicks at the lock. Security is his life, so a broken lock would annoy him like a puzzle with the final piece missing.

“What do you want?”

She has no idea who I am. It’s in the defensive way she holds herself and the accusatory note in her voice. Some women try to pretend they don’t recognize me, but I can always tell. Her ignorance is rather…thrilling. There are no expectations, no hidden agendas, no reasons to pretend—what she sees is what she gets. And all she sees is me.

My throat is suddenly a barren wasteland. I swallow, but it’s difficult.

“Well, he’s desperate for some pie.” I hook my thumb at Simon. “And I…wanted to apologize for the other evening. I don’t normally act that way. I was on a bit of bender…”

“In my experience, people don’t do things when they’re drunk that they wouldn’t do normally.”

“No, you’re right. I would’ve thought all those things, but I never would’ve said them out loud.” I move closer, slowly. “And if I’d been sober…my opening bid would’ve been much higher.”

“She crosses her arms. “Are you trying to be cute?”

“No. I don’t have to try…it just sort of happens.”
