About the Book
She caught her prince once. Can she catch him again?
American heiress Corina Del Rey’s life was devastated by war. Every
thing she loved was lost. But after five years of grief, she’s shed her
grave clothes and started over in the sunshine along the Florida coast.
But some things are not so easily forgotten. When a secret from her
past confronts her face to face, she realizes she must follow her heart.
Even if it cost her everything.
Prince Stephen of Brighton Kingdom is a former Royal Air Command
lieutenant turned star rugby player, trying to make sense of his life
after the devastation of war.
When his brother, King Nathaniel, discovers Stephen’s pre-war secret,
he must deal with an aspect of his life he longed to forget. But how
can he do so without exposing the truth and breaching national security?
Yet, true love has a destiny all it’s own. As the cathedral bells
peal through Cathedral City, Corina and Stephen must chose to answer the
call of love on their hearts.
Or let it be lost forever?
My Thoughts
Honest to goodness, I think every book I read from Rachel Hauck is better than the last! After reading the first two books in The Royal Wedding series, I was thrilled to learn that another book was on the way! There's just something about royal families, princes, queens, and weddings that just makes me giddy. Thankfully, How to Catch a Prince lived up to every expectation I had for it.
I could go on and on about how much I love this book, but we would be here all day. Instead, let me give you five quick things that make this an incredible book and one that easily goes into the "must read" category.
I could go on and on about how much I love this book, but we would be here all day. Instead, let me give you five quick things that make this an incredible book and one that easily goes into the "must read" category.
- While the characters are royal (or heirs, at least!), they are not perfect. Nope. Stephen and Corina have some serious baggage. This only makes them more relatable and real.
- The parties and fancy dresses! Seriously, I felt like I was a fly on the wall in a few scenes. Hauck does a great job of bringing these scenes to life and making readers feel like they're part of the story.
- We get to catch up with characters we've met in previous books. It's hard to turn the last page on a story of two people you really enjoyed getting to know, so I always like seeing that they're "okay" some time later.
- There's a bit of magic in this story that truly turned it into a fairy tale. Sure, I had to suspend belief a few times, but I adored these special moments and characters and felt like they added a unique flavor to the story.
- There is some serious romance in this book . . . a couple of truly delicious kisses. It's not overdone, but there is definitely chemistry here!
- And as a bonus, how lovely is that cover?!
I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through Litfuse Publicity in exchange for my fair and honest review.
