A review by lmrivas54
Royally Yours by Emma Chase
5.0
The only reason I requested this book to review is because the author is Emma Chase. I was a little tired of the royal blitz happening. But I’m glad I got the book because it’s one of the most romantic books I’ve read this year. There’s no shenanigans or manipulations, it’s the joyous discovery of love between two persons.
Lenora was born Crown Princess of Wessco and as such, has spent all her life being groomed to be Queen someday. She didn’t have much of a childhood, as she was her father’s sidekick in everything he did, learning her royal role. Her sister, Miriam, is a free spirit, living and loving life. Compared to Miriam, Lenora is a babe in the woods, so protected, innocent and pure. One day she met Thomas, a young duke, her same age, suddenly thrust into political life when his father died and he inherited the title. They were like souls, made to mature too early, take on responsibilities far above their age. They found an accomplice in each other, and shared many adventures, discoveries and mischief. One of the many things they shared were the adventures of Thomas’ older brother, bad boy Edward, who broke with their father, renounced the title and fled the country. He travels the world, and sends his little brother a letter every week to share his adventures. For Lenora, he’s a dreamy person who embodies all the experiences she wants and cannot have.
There’s a part in this book where I cried like a baby. For an author who writes in such a lighthearted manner and makes you enjoy her books so much, she can also break your heart and make you cry.
Edward comes back from his travels and accepts his brother’s request to marry Lenora and protect her from all the stuffed necks that populate parliament and the advisory council. Together they discover love, and Edward discovers that all his travels had one final purpose, serve and protect Lenora. We see Lenora’s development into a successful queen who defends her country’s welfare and financial development, with Richard’s advice and support. They are the new power couple of Wessco!
This book was fantastic! Richard and Lenora have a magical courtship and I loved reading how Richard taught Lenora about love and how she was a very advanced student. Love surged because they were such a perfect couple. There were no breakups, no excessive drama, it was just a book to enjoy and savor and get dreamy about.
