“All good guys have a little bit of rogue for the right woman.”

A disgustingly, sweet romance, packed full of all the wonderful clichés and romcom history.
Loyally Luke is a story that I shamefully admit took too long to read. But, it was like a good pair of jeans —easy to get back into.

I actually DNF this book…I know I’m in the minority but I just couldn’t get into it! I really liked the first book in this series, and DID finish and enjoy that one! So when I saw this story, I was excited. Luke had been a great side character and he always made me smile. Not sure if it was the different style of this one compared to the other or what, but I will try to finish it someday…maybe.

This is a delightful fit for readers who enjoy lighthearted, humorous, and hopeful stories that blend romance, inspirational fiction, and Christian themes, making it a perfect pick for those seeking a feel-good, faith-infused love story with a touch of royal flair.

The story was good but the book felt way longer than it should've been. The texts between characters was interesting at first but grew tiring the longer it went on. Overall, a positive experience, just long.

I really enjoyed this latest from Pepper Basham. The Skymar series has been a total treat and Luke's story was the perfect icing on the cake! From meet-cute in the coffee shop to their witty banter, to their fantastic chemistry, this story was adorable from beginning to end! On top of the relationship between the two main characters, I absolutely loved the relationship between Luke and his sisters. If you've read the first two books in this series, you know the background information on each of them and this story just emphasizes each of their personalities. It's quite humorous. As Luke finds himself at the forefront of one of his sister's "in real life" romcom film, he's mortified that his thoughts keep wandering in that direction. It is completely and undeniably enjoyable!

I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.

Love has a way of finding of two people in need of love when they least expect it. The book follows Luke who loves his coffee ,flannel and dogs. So he accepts a small construction job in a small town to appease his sister . There he founds Grace Kelly who he finds impossible. It's the perfect story for fans of forced proximity ,'spoiled princess' and set in an idyllic town.

I really enjoyed this last installment in the Skymar series! For those who have read this earlier books in this series, you will be well familiar with Luke and his sisters (cousin). Well, now you get to hear his love story!

Much like the earlier books in this series this book is told from multiple perspectives which makes for a fun read "hearing" inside the minds of multiple characters.

I am a big fan of Pepper Besham and read all three books in this series all in a row and it was so fun it get to know the three sibling/cousins in their different aspects and learn about their love stories!

Thanks to NetGalley for a review copy of this book!

Fantastic! Loyally Luke is one of those rare books worth reading again and again! This entire series falls into that exclusive category. Treat yourself! Definitely worth the read!

Rachael Shaffer:
This is a cute book! Was I comparing Luke to Luke Danes the entire book? Yes. Yes, I was. And when he hit a point where he became more emotive while talking to his friend, I scoffed a little bit— “Luke would never be that chatty”. And then I remembered he is, in fact, not Luke Danes…So my bad, sorry Luke Edgewood, I’ll try not to conflate the two of you 😂

(It was fun to have the connection between the two grumpy, flannel wearing, fishing, handy Lukes anyway!)

I also really liked having a book start off with a male POV! I definitely felt more connected to him than I did to Ellie. I liked their bucket list dates, too.

Read this if you like:
-Hidden Princess trope
-Grump/sunshine (but more just grump haha)
-Gilmore Girls 😂
-Princess Diaries
-Hallamark movies…or even making fun of them!

3.5 stars rounded up

Waitttttttttttttttttt I didn't know this was part of a series before I started reading!! I did feel a little left out, but overall it was very easy to understand the setting and characters. Luke is such a likeable a guy, I was almost jealous of everyone who got to know him lol This was a very Hallmark-esque love story, but I'm here for it. I will definitely be reading the first two books in the series.

This was a a sweet book. This was my first book in the series and I did not know what to expect. I love the cover and synopsis but some time it could be missleading. But was sweet as pie. Love it

I received a NetGalley ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Intrigued by another upcoming book by Pepper Basham, I decided to give this one a try. Initially, I was skeptical about the fictional Scottish island, Hallmark vibes, and the Christian romance angle. As a Christian, I often find these books too evangelical for my taste. However, this story hooked me from the start. The characters communicated openly, making their romance believable, and the Scottish setting felt authentic, not stereotypical. I appreciated the meta moments where they poked fun at Hallmark movies. Most importantly, the characters' faith was subtle yet strong, enhancing the story without overpowering it. I’m now excited to read the rest of the series!

4.5 STARS!

Simply charming!

It has been awhile since I have read a romance book that I enjoyed. Most seem too over the top or "cheesy". While the ingredients of a good rom com do include cheese, Loyally, Luke is sprinkled in with just the right amount. Swoon worthy and laugh out loud!

This was the first of the series that I have read and I loved Luke and Ellie. They both seemed so down to earth and relatable- even for a knight in shining flannel and a real life princess! Luke's inner monologue was hands down the best part! Watching him get frustrated with how his circumstances where looking just like a hallmark movie was a riot. The bells! The book also highlighted serving others and I loved any moments that Luke had with the children form the orphanage. This book is full of heart and I can't wait to read the others in the series!

Read if you love:
- great chemistry
- hilarious writing
- wonderful supporting cast
- stories of redemption
- flannel
- main characters who are real and kind hearted
- heart of service
- all the classic movie references!

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for this wonderful arc!!

This was a really sweet novel. I’ve read the second one in this series and really enjoyed the perspective of Luke and his story of falling for a princess.

I think this was my favorite of the series. Luke always had a great sense of humor during each of the books and I’m so glad we got to get his story. The down home personality of Luke was great and he didn’t change even though he was among royalty. It was a fun, enjoyable read! I received a copy of the book from the publisher. All views stated are my own.

It took me a little while to get into this book, but I'm glad I continued with it because the second half had me turning pages so fast!

This is the final installment in a trilogy that follows siblings as they fall in love with locals from the island of Skymar. Our main character is Luke, a gruff carpenter with a heart of gold. He certainly isn't looking for love when he heads to Skymar to complete some renovation projects before his sister's big wedding, but when he finds himself working alongside a Star Wars quoting, hammer weilding princess (well, he doesn't know that part yet), what's a man to do?

I really enjoyed seeing how Luke and Ellie grapple with trying to make a relationship work despite their very different backgrounds. There were some really sweet, charming moments and I definitely loved all of the royal content.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book is a real winner and deserves 6 stars! I loved it! Luke is in visiting Skymar to help with some construction work when he meets Ellie, who is Skymar Princesss Ellie, whom the locals "neglect" to mention! How the story unfolds is delightful! Leave it to this author to devise such a wonderful tale with such imaginative scenes! It especially touched me how Luke and Ellie's practical and creative work was to give assistance to an orphanage. This was the third book in a series, but it can be easily read and appreciated without having read the others first. I am so thankful that I did not miss out on this book! Fans of the author and Christian fiction will not want to miss out on this engaging book!
I very much appreciate reading this advanced reader copy from the editors, and the views expressed are my own honest opinion.

This is probably my favorite of the series. There is just something so genuine about Luke, even in his grumpiness in his conversations with his sisters. It's easy to hear Luke's heart even in the midst of difficult situations. I love the loyalty to family throughout this entire series. It's fun to hear the different personalities of the siblings and the things that are most important to them.

I so enjoy the witty banter, dialogue and quick wit between the characters. I found myself laughing out loud multiple times. I also enjoyed the dialogue between Ellie & her confidant, Maeve. I enjoyed Maeve as a side character too. Her sarcasm was on point. Especially the narrator for her part on the audio. The audio was fantastic! All of the narrators are so talented! This book had the least amount of mixed media, but still very easy to read and to get drawn into the storyline. You almost can't help yourself.

There aren't as many characters in this one for me to keep straight, so I was grateful for that part. It is very reminiscent of Princess Diaries 2 - I kept having visions in my head of that as I was listening. There are nods to assorted movies and books which made it very relatable as well.

"Embrace who God made you to be." Luke to Ellie. I love this quote. It's a good reminder to all of us.

Pepper Basham is definitely a favorite author of mine! I received a complimentary copy from Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I loved the faith element and the interactions with characters from earlier in the series. I'm so glad to see more wholesome romance in the bookish world! This would be a great story for a new adult. The storyline of overcoming past choices is an excellent lesson for young adults/new adults just starting to figure things out.

Loyally Luke was a great book! The family communication continues in this book, however, in a bit of a different way. I loved Penelope’s forever romantic perspective throughout! 🥰 So many sweet moments in this book! Reading as Luke turned all mushy was so fun!
