Litfuse Blog Tour Event: How to Catch a Prince by Rachel Hauck

Do you love all things fairytales, romance and charming princes that have emotional scars? Do you love strong females protagonists that have a great sense of humor and love others well? Look no further than How to Catch a Prince, the third book of The Royal Wedding Series, by Rachel Hauck because it has all of the above and more. It's one of the must 2015 spring reads this year!

Summary 

Prince Stephen came to America to escape responsibility. But what he found complicates his life more than ever.

Corina Del Rey is happy with her life in Melbourne, Florida. She spends her days engrossed in her career as a journalist and has her sights set on climbing the corporate ladder if for no other reason, to distract herself from her dissolving family. But when she is confronted with the past she fought so hard to put behind her, she struggles to make sense of her future.

Prince Stephen of Brighton Kingdom has moved on since the tragic death of his buddies in Afghanistan. A star professional rugby player, he has no intention of looking over his shoulder at what could've been.

But when a notice arrives in the mail requiring his and his wife s appearance before the courts to dissolve their marriage, he must deal with the questions rumbling around in his heart. He thought his marriage had been annulled long ago, but his memories of Corina Del Rey remain close. Does he still love her? Can he even find her? Above all, can he tell her the truth about that fateful night in Afghanistan seven years ago? If he does, he might really lose her forever."

My Thoughts 
 
This is the third and final book in the Royal Weddings Series written by the queen of Christian romance, Rachel Hauck. This novel has all the romance, humor and even a dash of the supernatural (think more along the line of angels) that makes it a most enjoyable read. 

Now, if you haven’t read the other two books I would highly recommend that you do. But, if you just want to read this book, that’s fine too. Hauck does really well at writing series that can be all read together or even as a stand-alone. 

As for the book, I loved it. Hauck has this knack for writing female leads that are both hilarious and likeable.  They are the kinds of characters that you want to read, and they don’t let down.  Corina is a wonderful addition to the two other great female leads from the two other books in this series.  She isn’t just spunky, but she has a lot of grief that she is still struggling and dealing with as we meet her in this story.  I really liked how well Hauck handled a really tough issue with her characters that involved war and death.  I felt that it didn’t depress the plot in any way, but made it more humanized and emotionally powerful.  Stephen (the prince, cue swooning) is the mysterious younger brother that was introduced in the first book. I knew from his introduction he would have his own story, and it was refreshing to read his.  He as well as Corina was dealing with a lot of grief and regrets for his past mistakes and it’s through his rekindling with Corina that he begins to live again and move forward. Also, it doesn’t hurt that he also have a great personality. 

Overall, this is a good book.  Aside from some corny conversations that felt a little too much. I did enjoy this read.  It’s the perfect modern day fairy tale that intertwines faith, forgiveness, healing and how God leads someone through all of that.  If you love romance, humor, and modern day princes that fall in love with the modern day female who is strong and funny than this is the book for you!
