Wedlocked is the final book in the contemporary gay romance PresLocke trilogy, featuring mega Hollywood action star Ace Locke and too-sexy-for-his-Calvin-Kleins model Dylan Prescott. This book is pure, happy endorphins, a feel-good rush from start to finish. I actually cried at the end—for-real, happy tears. If you need a pick-me-up or just want to feel your heart fill up love, you must read this series! Don't start with Wedlocked, though. If you're new to Ace and Dylan, check out Aced instead!

Let me just say straight off: I LOVED THIS BOOK! Not only is this series unique in a genre crowded by tired tropes and cookie-cutter characters, this book in particular shines so brightly that I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Connelly Reid—a police detective with a giving spirit and a helping heart—is such a likeable guy, yet he can go into dominant cop mode in a heartbeat. This guy gives off safe vibes as easily as he can send that thrill of power over your skin. So sexy. After an accidental meeting reveals the real Azariah Hayes, Con can't stop thinking about him.

This story is an absolute delight, a guaranteed roller coaster of passion and privilege and charm and want and lust and soft hearts in gilded cages. Author Emma Chase had me laughing and crying and yearning throughout the entire read. Royally Screwed is easily one of the best romances of 2016.

One of the things I liked most about this story is how honest the characters are with each other. They don’t hide things from each other out of fear, and they understand how important sharing is to their relationship. That transparency allows the guys (and the story) to leap right over the trouble spots of some (more frustrating) New Adult romances by simply, consciously doing the mature thing.
