ONCE
UPON A PRINCE, the first novel in the Royal
Wedding series by best-selling author Rachel Hauck, treats you to a
modern-day fairy tale.
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. Simons
Island
Their
lives are worlds apart. He's a royal prince. She's an 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?
Ms.
Hauck is a hit or miss author for me. I read book 2 Princess Ever After before I read ONCE UPON A PRINCE, and the books
do stand alone. But then I downloaded March
Bride by Ms. Hauck and discovered it is a continuation of ONCE UPON A
PRINCE so I decided to read this first so I won’t be lost.
Okay,
I liked the snarky heroine in ONCE UPON A PRINCE. I loved her sarcasm and the
way she dumped on the prince when she first met him. However, she was a true
drama queen. That got a bit old. Nate was a true hero, and of course, a British
accent is absolutely wonderful with a hero. He was willing to listen to her
rant, and even got down on his knees to change her tire, within moments after
meeting. Not too many men would listen to the rant of a drama queen woman they
don’t know if they had the option of walking away. He did, and that earned my
respect. He also listened to her lecture and rants most of the way through the
book.
The
ending of the story was incredibly sweet. I did like this one much better than Princess Ever After. 352 pages. $14.99.
