Oh, Logan St. James.  This broody royal protector has bumped Prince Nicholas from my "Favorite Hero of the Series" spot.  

Starting back to when they first met, ROYALLY ENDOWED let's us ride along on the long building relationship between Ellie, Duchess Olivia's sister, and her royal protection agent, Logan St. James.  It's easy to see the chemistry these two have and can appreciate the friendship they build.  But I spent a lot of time wondering what was going to be the tipping point for Logan to finally grab what he wants.

Ellie and Logan fit together.  She may have been the more free-spirited of the two, but they both understood what it meant to come from nothing and to feel somewhat unloved.  Time and time again they proved just how important the other was and stood up for each other when they otherwise wouldn't have stood up for themselves.  They may not have professed feelings for one another, but it was hard to not see just how much these two meant to each other.

Ellie may have embraced her feelings for Logan faster than he did, but I could understand Logan's resistance.  Protecting the Royal family was his job and his job was his identity, gave him purpose.  No matter how much he wanted Ellie, he wasn't willing to give that up.  As I said above, I had to wonder what would be Logan's tipping point or if he'd even let himself fall.  But he proved to me that once he commits to something, he's all in.  

There were some heartwarming moments when I found myself smiling, but Logan and Ellie's story is not quite as humorous as Nicholas and Henry's stories may have been.  Logan is broody and that spilled over the proverbial page at times.  But that made their HEA more satisfying.  I knew this couple was going to build the family they wanted and do it in spectacular style.
