Royally Screwed by Emma Chase

This was such a sweet feel good romance! I did not expect to like it so much.
Usually I don’t need half star ratings but I’d probably rate this one 4.5 stars if I could. It was a super fun and enjoyable romance with such heart. But I usually reserve 5 stars for books that really get my blood pumping (whether from action or just simply smiling from ear the whole time like The Deal). This one had me smiling and swooning quite a bit though I will say. :)
So it’s a classic Prince and a common girl contemporary romance story. Haven’t really read one of these. I’ll be honest that this book wasn’t much on my radar until I came across book 3 on the series about Logan and Ellie (I’m a sucker for a bodyguard romance). But I wanted to read these in order rather than jumping right to that one because I’m OCD like that. I am still really looking forward to that one though. Ellie is such a character, especially the end where she stumbles and falls into the Queen. No shame. Love her! And Logan is definitely mysterious. Can’t wait for their book.
But back to this one. Nicholas, Olivia, and the entire cast of characters in this book are such a breath of fresh air. Full of life and personality. Even the side characters are dynamic and interesting. Emma Chase sure does an excellent job with character development. I loved all her characters and she manages to even give the side characters some amazing depth and backstory - from Franny to Henry and even the seemingly cold grandmother Queen. Excellent character development. Top notch! And of course the main characters are fleshed out perfectly as well in a way that makes them feel real and not perfect but in that perfectly imperfect way.
And the relationship between Nicholas and Olivia is what I’d call a naturally developed romance. They have an immediate attraction to each other, but in a very realistic way that slowly develops as the story progresses. Just beautifully done! And the sex scenes are steamy and romantic!
I’m excited to continue the series. Henry is an interesting character for the next one and I look forward to his book.
I highly recommend this one if you love slow burn sweet romances with minimal internal relationship drama that are just fun and sexy and romantic.
