Synopsis:
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.
This is a little embarrassing to admit, but I didn’t read the blurb for Royally Yours before I started reading the book. I just saw a new book in the Royally series being released and jumped on it. For some reason, I thought Royally Yours would be about one of the kids from the first three books. I was wrong. Royally Yours is Queen Lenora and Prince Edward’s story. It is all about how they meet, fall in love, and start the Royally dynasty.
Royally Yours was a great addition to the series. Emma Chase came up with a great back story for them that made me fall in love with their characters. Queen Lenora was the same and different from what I expected. I loved getting into her head and being able to look back to the first three books in the series and know why she made the decisions she did. It was amazing!
I don’t remember Edward as much from the first three books, but he was a fun character. I enjoyed meeting him first in his letters and then in person. His adventurous nature brought a light to Lenora’s life. I loved how he challenged her yet supported her. Edward was a great prince, and an awesome husband.
I adored what Emma Chase did with Lenora and Edward’s relationship. How they fell in love was so special and sweet. It was so much fun to read. If you’re a fan of this series, you won’t want to miss this short but sweet addition.
