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.

My Review:
“No woman is born a Queen. Kings are crowned. But Queens… Queens rise.”
Not having read any other books by Emma Chase before, I wasn’t sure what to expect before reading Royally Yours. Needless to say I was impressed with her vivid writing and her ability to deliver such a fairytale love story.
At the beginning of the story we get to meet Lenora Pembrook, Princess and future Queen of Wessco. The first queen that Wessco has ever had and with that comes a lot of responsibilities. She has been trained to be the future of her country and there isn’t enough time for her to do anything else for herself. It’s on her sixteenth birthday that she ends up making friends with Thomas, the Duke of Anthrop, and it is through their growing friendship that she is able to gain a confidant and loyal friend who she values the most. She knows that her future as queen will leave her with very few “close” friends and she wants to keep those that she values the most close. Yet, it is on her 19th birthday that her father passes away and she crowned Queen of Wessco. Now she has to find a way to rule the country and with the help of her friends she is able to make future plans for her country, but she is immediately told that she must marry in order to keep the crown.
Everyone around her has seen how independent and clever she is and to keep her under their will she must marry. Lenora doesn’t want to marry anyone, but the council thinks that it will not look good on her if she remains alone. That is when all eyes turn to Thomas, he is the perfect candidate for her, and after unexpected events he is no longer an option. But his older brother, Edward becomes her new option and although she doesn’t know what to think of his at first she quickly warms up to the idea of becoming his wife. And that’s when their adventure truly begins as they go through the ups and downs of their relationship and as they try to navigate their future as rulers of Wessco.
I cannot say enough good things about Royally Yours, it was truly a swoon worthy read from beginning to end! It’s a story about romance, friendship and a fairytale ending that you just can’t miss. I fell in love with the characters and their story. Lenora is such a badass who is courageous and kind. She truly loves her country and will do anything to keep her people save. On the other hand, Edward comes to her in a rather unexpected way. She first learns of him through the letters he sent Thomas while he was traveling the world. It was his sense of adventure and bravery that attracted her to him right away. They are both united by their connection to Thomas and they honor that in a sweet way. Lenora truly grows in the book, she becomes a true Queen who her parents would be very proud of. The ending was touching and sentimental. It brought me to tears to say the least and it gave us a glimpse of the future to come. All in all, if you’re looking for the perfect royal romance with a few twists and turns then I would highly recommend reading Royally Yours. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series and any other books by the author. :)
“The legend of their story and the echo of their love will live forever.”
