Once Upon A Prince

Once Upon A Prince

So shortly before break I found through another blog (not for school) a series of books that looked really good. It had everything I loved in a book or story all rolled up into one. Romance, Princesses, Weddings, Summertime, and written by a Christian author. I couldn't believe such a book existed. Honestly. So I read the entire 338 paged book in less than 24 hours. It. Was. Amazing. Not entirely sure that literary professors who study the every meaning of every word would like it, but I did.

Here is its description from goodreads:

Once Upon a Prince, the first novel in the Royal Wedding series by bestselling 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. 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?

I loved how the book set up the story and even though you could probably figure out the ending pretty quickly it still had a few unpredictable moments. The characters were very lively (my favorite was Avery) and had some of the same problems we do... haha.

The setting was written very well and made me wish it was summertime at the beach so bad! Just listen to this, "Sand washed out from under her feet as the afternoon tide pulled the waves back into their ocean boundaries." That sounds so good as I type this looking out my window into the cold and dark day.

Anyway, I loved this book and I loved the story. Can't wait to read the next three!!! :)
