ROYALLY YOURS by Emma Chase

Series: The Royally Series Book 4

Release Date: 30th October 2018

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.

Prologue
No woman is born a queen, no matter the title attached to her name at birth.

Kings are crowned. But queens . . . queens rise.

They lift themselves from the depths of tragedy and heartbreak that always seem to follow them. They break the chains of society, and they soar through their triumphs and joys. They are forged by the burn of betrayal and they are shaped by the constant, cold clash of wills.

Still they rise, and then . . . they reign.

For good or bad, in sickness and in health, until death do they part.

The vestiges of that reign are the true inheritance of the descendants. For most, that birthright is duty, tradition and loyalty.

But the two of us were different. Right from the start, and in every way.

Passion that could tear the whole world down around us. Love that would not be ignored or denied. Devotion that would last beyond a lifetime.

These would be our legacy— our gifts to the ones who would follow in our footsteps. It would be scored on their bones and branded on their souls.

We just didn’t know it then.

Every dynasty has a beginning. Every legend starts with a story.

This is ours.

 

★4 STARS★

At age nineteen most young women are still undecided at the direction in which to take their lives, but for Lenora Celeste Beatrice Arabella Pembrook her grooming has led to this very moment she would be crowned Queen of Wessco.

Far from Disney reimaginings her succession is marred by the veil of loneliness at the loss of her parents, but professional to a fault, her years of tutoring have stood her on firm ground to rule the nation and people she so much loves. Some describe her as cold, but her heart beats for her country and she is unflinching when it comes to acting in its best interests.

Though she may be Queen Parliament have always held great influence and it is their wish that Lenora should marry. The idea is most unbecoming but Lenora eventually relents when hears her young unmarried status may leave Wessco open to attack from domestic and far flung enemies.

Trust is a priceless commodity and there is none Lenora trusts more than her friend and confidant Thomas. He loves Lenora as though she were his own sister and so he proposes his brother Edward Langdon Richard Dorian Rourke as her betrothed.

For years Lenora and Thomas have poured over letters of Edwards adventures from continents all over the world. His time has come to return home and take up his duty to his household… and country.

The common love they share for Thomas is as far as kinship goes for these two. Edward (unjustly) finds her detached & unemotional, and Lenora so used to independence cannot relate to Edward’s free spirit.

It’s both thrilling and heartbreaking to experience life through the eyes of Lenora. She holds her role as protector of her Nation to the highest regard, and it’s upsetting to the witness the moments of recognition that there is no one to protect her from the burdens of duty. It’s only after Edward stumbles upon Lenora in an unguarded moment does he truly begin to appreciate the woman beyond the crown.

I so much adored the intimacies between Lenora and Edward and revelled in the love and power of their union. Royally Yours is a gem in the crown of the Royally series and a story I didn’t appreciate how much I needed to be told.
