Royally Yours by Emma Chase

Emma Chase's Royally Yours tells the love story of Queen Lenora and Edward Rourke. This was such a wonderful, sexy, and sweet story. It reminded me of Netflix's The Crown which I thought was really interesting and cool. This is still a lot more romantic though. While Royally Matched still remains my favorite in this series, I consider this second best even though I did sort of dragged my feet when I first started it. Lenora takes awhile to get used to because she can seem rather cold and unfeeling at times but it quickly changes after she meets Edward and eventually falls in love with him.

Edward is the type of hero who is both sweet and unbelievable sexy. Not only is he devoted to Lenora but he loves her desperately. The same can also be said of Lenora's feelings towards Edward. Their chemistry is off the charts hot. I'm not kidding when I say that I had heart palpitations the first time they decided to take things a step further. However, I do have to say that their union comes at the price of Lenora best friend and Edward's brother, Thomas. It broke my heart because Lenora's friendship with Thomas was so sad. They became friends because they were both lonely but his death also forged her into becoming the strong woman who will one day become queen and eventually Edward's wife.

In addition to being a super swoon-worthy romance, Royally Yours is essentially a prequel to the Royally series. Lenora's story is the beginning of everything. This is hers and Edward's dynasty and boy, is it an amazing one. The fact that we all know what will eventually happen in the future is incredible. It really makes you want to go back and read the entire series all over again! Who would have thought that Lenora would live long enough see the happily ever afters of her grandchildren. 

Anyway, I highly recommend this book. You won't be disappointed by Lenora's love story and the beginning of her dynasty!
