New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase returns with a sweet and sexy standalone in the Royally Series.
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.
Lenore and Edward.
I didn't read any teasers or anything Emma posted about this upcoming book - so I was pretty surprised to find out this would be somewhat of a historical romance. Lenore is the grandma of the royals from the previous books. And now we get to hear her story. In the 1950ies, shortly after her mom dies, her father dies too and suddenly Lenore is queen at the young age of 19.
And the whole country and all politicians tell her she needs a husband. But she's not interested. Until Edward comes along. He's the older brother of her good friend Thomas and he's back from his adventures ... to marry a queen??
Eeeeeep, finally book #4 in this amazing series!
Such an adorable romance! A sad romance. So heartbreaking and so full of loss and sacrifices!
I just loved this book. I kind of cried all through it. But I also awwwed and smiled. Edward is so adorable and he brings out this sweet girl in the coldish queen. I just adored those two.
This was the perfect romance.
Sweet, funny, sad, adorable.
The only thing I hated and that broke my heart a bit while reading - and I know it's all fictional, but still - we know, from reading all the previous books, that Edward is already dead in the present time. Lenore is already a widow when we first meet her. They had a long and beautiful life together, but it's still so sad to think about. Ugh.☺
ROYALLY YOURS was another amazingly beautiful book in Emma's Royally series! FUNNY, SEXY, ADORABLE & HEARTBREAKING! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Edward - this one is MINE! ☺

Yes! We are back in the Royally world again!
I didn't even read the blurb of this book before signing up to read it, I just knew it would be great. So imagine my surprise when I started an it was Queen Lenore's story - you know, the grandma from the previous Royally stories.
And colour me even more surprised when I learned that it was her story of how she became Queen. Heck yes, I knew I was right and that I would love it.
This is a smart, funny, and at times heartbreaking story. Edward, no matter how much you want to slap his mouth, you can't help but adore. I loved watching Lenore and Edward fall in love, and he really is all kinds of swoonworthy.
I love love love how Lenore breaks all the rules, and writes a whole lot more! She was so far ahead of here time in Wessco, and she is quite the ruler. I want to be her when I grow up!
It had been a while between Royally books, however this one was worth every second of the wait.
I can't wait to see what Ms Chase brings us next.
