I have always been a sucker for a Fairy Tale, complete with a handsome prince and a castle. What girl doesn't love them? I will admit that I re-read The Princess by Lori Wick all the time and it never gets old...
Rachel Hauck has woven an amazing modern day Fairy Tale (yes, with a handsome prince). You will love Once Upon a Prince, I couldn't put it down!
Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like
a princess—just to marry the man she has loved for twelve years. But
life isn’t going according to plan. When her
high-school-sweetheart-turned-Marine-officer breaks up instead of
proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life.The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simon’s Island is the queen of his heart. A prince has duties, and his family’s tense political situation has chosen his bride for him. When Prince Nathaniel comes to Susanna’s aid under the fabled Lover’s Oak, he is blindsided by love.
Their lives are worlds apart. He’s a royal prince. She’s a ordinary girl. But everything changes when Susanna receives an invitation to Nathaniel’s coronation.
It’s the ultimate choice. His kingdom or her heart? God’s will or their own?
My thoughts:
So much more than just a sweet romance! Once Upon a Prince is a lesson in trusting in God and learning to follow him, even when it isn't easy.
I loved every page of this book! The characters? Just amazing! Susanna and her family, the Prince (what's not to love about a prince?) and everyone else, done with such depth and all so believable.
The settings? You almost believe you are there! From the Georgia beach to the Kingdom of Brighton, every detail is perfect.
The story? It will make you laugh and cry and squeal with happiness. It was like riding a roller coaster, it will keep you guessing until the end (and squealing yet again...)!
Rachel Hauck has a wonderful gift in story telling and I am pretty sure this is her best book yet. It will go into my 'read again' pile - a pretty short stack. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!
