How to Catch a Prince, Royal Wedding Series #3

So many secrets and regrets. It is no wonder that Corina and Stephen have trouble moving on from their pasts. I really enjoyed revisiting the Kingdom of Brighton and was not disappointed in another good fairy tale of royal proportions. 3 1/2 Stars. Full review at my website. I received this book in a giveaway. I was not required to give a positive review. All of the opinions I have expressed are my own.

Love Well is the theme of this book--not just for the characters but for the readers. The story is very sweet--and most refreshing is the strong Gospel message within this love story. Each of the three books in this series is very good. The writing is amazing, bringing to life a fictitious country and its customs. Plus, after having read the other two books in the series, it was nice to "catch up" with the characters from them in this one!

Debs Dozen: How to Catch a Prince? Love Him Well, Serve Others. Love God

Another fairy tale romance from Rachel Hauck in her Royal Wedding Series, How to Catch a Prince-Book 3 is equally charming as the first two. I loved Princess Ever After-Book 2 (see review) and also Once Upon a Prince-Book 1. Her mythical kingdoms of Hessenberg and Brighton are enchanting, the descriptions take you there in your imagination.

Corina del Rey found love and romance and secretly married her princeonly to be rejected by him once he comes back from warhe tells her theyre not really married, the paperwork was never filed with the court. That same war also cost the life of her twin brother, Carlos. The del Reys are still in mourningfive and a half years later.

Corina, attempting to pull her life together, is working for an online gossip magazine owned by her friend, Gigi, but finds out she got the job only because her mother asked Gigi to hire her.

Then, to make matters worse, Prince Stephen comes to her in Melbourne, FL. He tells her theyre still married, but he wants an annulment. She agrees, after much conversation, only if hell tell her what really happened to her brother.

Corina doesnt want an annulmentshes still in love with her prince. Praying about the situation, she gets the cryptic message, Love well. How Corina learns the meaning of that phrase, her travel to Brighton Kingdom for a movie premier, and her relationship with Stephen is the stuff of wonderful fairy tales. Youll love her journey! Four Stars.

Rachel Hauck writes the books she loves to read. All from her two story tower. Shes hit a few best seller lists and won an award or two. She is a RITA Finalist, Christy Award Finalist, and a Carol Award Winner. Hauck also penned the critically acclaimed Songbird Novels with multi-platinum country artist, Sara Evan

A magical realism subplot of this novel was very disjointed and felt out of place in the series. Neither of the previous two novels had a supernatural element and it felt like a pat device to move the plot along. Not my cup of tea.

If you havent read anything by Rachel Hauck yet all I can ask is What are you waiting for?

I have read several of her books and have never been disappointed.

Rachel has a deeply spiritual way of writing, there is much more going on then meets the eye. I love the spiritual growth of the characters in her books and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Corina is hurting and she just wants to understand why she is. She doesnt know how her brother died and Stephen knows the answer. She also doesnt understand why Stephen abandoned her. Could the two be connected?

Stephen hates the secret he has to keep and its even harder when he has to face Corina. He is definitely not your typical prince.

Can these two come together and overcome the past? Youll have to read the book to find out.

An e-copy of this book was given to me by the publisher through Netgalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
