As Someone who loved the Princess Dairies as a teen, I thought I would love this one. But unfortunately the adult me doesn’t really believe the fairy tale anymore of an average girl becoming a princess.

Charming & inspirational! A Rachel Hauck story is magic &. not to be missed! This book has beautiful writing, sympathetic, relatable characters, romance, faith-strengthening themes & fun.

Tried to read the first book of this series and i wasn't aware it was Christian Fiction. I Did Not Finish book 1 therefore will not be continuing with the series. Just not my cup of tea.

Rachel Hauck's Royal Wedding series wraps up with How to Catch a Prince, the story of American heiress Corina del Rey and Prince Stephen of Brighton, the secret they share (and another one they don't), and the obstacles they'll need to overcome to find love between them again. (Disclaimer: I received a free e-copy of the book in exchange for a review and blog tour participation through Litfuse Publicity Group.)

Hauck's previous books in the series, Once Upon a Prince and Princess Ever After, introduced us to the fictional kingdoms and royal families of Brighton and Hessenberg, and while reading those books would help give background for this one, you could pick up How to Catch a Prince and read it without having read the others.

I found the premise of this book interesting, but I must say I was a tad disappointed in the story overall. I loved the first two books in this series, but this one didn't quite meet my expectations. I just wasn't as drawn in by the characters, and I wasn't really surprised by how things played out. Still, it was an entertaining read, and there were some unforgettable moments and lines from the book.

The overall theme of loving people well, even if it's not romantic love, will stick with me.

I apologize for the delayed response on this title. I did not connect to the title as much as I wanted to. I apologize for the inconvenience.

This was cute. It had an additional element that I'm not sure about. It felt like the tone was different than the previous books, and I think it threw me for a loop.

This second chance at romance story is a really good addition to the series. I loved the main characters, Corina and Prince Stephen. The two secretly married years ago and have to deal with the fallout of finding they are still legally married. I liked the characters, thought the storyline was interesting and captivating, and enjoyed being back in the settings created by Hauck.

This book was my least favourite book in this series so far but I'm not sure why as the premise was very good and I actually liked the characters. I guess maybe I just need a break from this series. 

The main characters are Corina and Stephen, and firstly can I just say although I'm not sure it was planned by the author that the names of the main female characters this book and the previous are also the names of Once Upon A Time characters. So Corina and Stephen got married in Vegas a long time ago and now Stephen is being pressured by his advisers to marry an alliance but first he needs to get Corina to agree to dissolve their existing marriage. But getting Corina back in his life is opening the door to his first love, a girl he'd never really let go of and he seems unable to let her go again. 

There are some secondary characters but to be honest none that really grabbed me.

The storyline is similar to other books in this series and genre. And the pacing was just ok, I will continue with the rest of this series but after a break. 

2.5 stars
