Princess Ever After Royal Wedding Series Rachel Hauck 0025986315504 Books

This one may be the best in the series. Princess Ever After is second in Rachel Wauck's wonderful four-volume Royal Wedding saga. I thought no one in this series could top Susanna and Avery from the first book, but then I met Regina Beswick. Reggie is my kind of girl: A gorgeous redhead who doesn't act like she's gorgeous. She's a down-home country gal from Tallahassee, Florida and dang proud of it. Reggie has a way about her so that, when she interacts with you, you feel valued. Only 29-years-old, she's already had her life-changing epiphany. Six months ago, she quit her lucrative yet back-breaking, 65-hour-a-week career as a corporate CPA to open a shop specializing in restoring classic automobiles. So, a sure thing for a pipe dream. Her far-fetched hope is to, someday, work on a Starfire #89, only the rarest car on the planet (only seven were made).

A contented Reggie settles into an uncertain yet oh-so-satisfying new profession. So, you can imagine how thrown off she is when a European gent shows up to proclaim her the long-lost princess and heir to the troubled island duchy of Hessenberg.

For those who haven't read Once Upon A Prince or any other book in the series, observe two sister island nations nestled in the North Sea: Brighton and the Grand Duchy Hessenberg, become entangled for the span of a century. In 1914, the weak Grand Duke of Hessenberg, dreading the coming world war, gave stewardship of his duchy to the more secure kingdom of Brighton, this entailment to last one hundred years.

The entailment's end is nigh. But here's the pickle: If an heir cannot be found, then the Grand Duchy Hessenberg will be absorbed entirely by Brighton and cease to be its own nation.

If you'd read Once Upon A Prince, then you're aware of the part King Nathaniel II of Brighton plays in seeking an heir. This book alerts us that it's been six months since Nathaniel's coronation, for those curious about the timeline. But Nathaniel's investigations have not been in vain. Hail, success! And, so, Nathaniel dispatches Tanner Burkhardt, ex-barrister and Hessenberg's Minister of Culture these past six months, to north Florida to fetch the lost princess.

It's ironic, isn't it? That Reggie now has a choice to make. Keep restoring classic automobiles... or restore an ancient nation.

I think I love this book. And not because of the love story. Honestly, the romantic bits weren't nearly as interesting to me, probably because I don't think Tanner is all that interesting. The most intriguing element in his story arc is the dark secret he's kept hushed for years and is always feeling guilty about, except when that secret gets outed, I didn't even think it was all that scandalous. If there's a failing in Rachel Wauck's terrific writing, it's that she fails to make the love story convincing, at least, to me.

Maybe some plot spoilers.

But I just about love everything else. Most of all, I adore Reggie, or, if we're being fancy about it, Her Royal Highness Princess Regina Alice Beswick Augustine-Saxon. Watch her hem and haw, as she ought, about whether to keep tinkering with car parts or embrace her royal destiny. See her fend off her childhood friend who wants to be more than friends. See her connect to her past by way of a fairy tale written and illustrated by her great-grandmother. See Reggie travel 4,212 miles to the grand Meadowbluff Palace at Christmastime. Then see her try her durndest to get her palace staff to call her "Reggie."

In Hessenberg there is unrest. Not just because there's uncertainty about possibly being permanently folded into Brighton as a province but, also, because a notion is introduced that, maybe, royals aren't needed anymore when Hessenberg becomes independent, especially if it's a redneck royal.

And what of our redneck royal? Or as Reggie refers to herself when trying on an unfortunate set of clothes that clash with her hair: Princess Match-on-Fire. Of the four female MCs in this series, she's my favorite. It could've been Avery Truitt, because I really liked how she was such a sparkplug in Once Upon A Prince, except when she later starred in A Royal Christmas Wedding, she'd become a more subdued character. But Reggie remains steadfast to her character. I dig how irrepressible she could be, and how approachable she is, and how her faith never wavered. It's also gratifying that we get a Susanna cameo, as well as several scenes with King Nathaniel II, very much a commanding presence. I wish that the book had delved more into Tanner's past, specifically - I did say spoilers, right? - his relationship with his 10-year-old twin daughters. But, no matter, I had a rollicking good time reading this one. I love modern-day fairy tales and, particularly, Cinderella pastiches, of which I feel this book is a very fine specimen. Crack this one open and sink into a marvelous story. Observe Reggie as she comes into her own, takes her rightful place on the throne, finds her one true love (I guess), and thwart a man's evil machinations with uncommon kindness.

Princess Ever After Royal Wedding Series Rachel Hauck 0025986315504 Books Reviews

This is a fairytale story of just a regular down to earth girl who is told that she is born of royalty. Regina Bestwick lives in Tallahassee, Florida running a car shop that restores classic cars. She has her dad and friends that help her that make her life special and she is happy with life as it is.
Tanner Burkhardt has been given the job to find the lost princess of Hessenberg and return her Hessenberg to save the nation. So, when Tanner, the Minister of Culture of Duchy of Hessenberg shows up in Tallahassee to confront Reggie with the news, she is blown away. How is this possible? But what Regina doesn't know is that her grandmother was part of the royal family and left many years ago to pursue her own destiny. Regina is talked into visiting the country right away. She doesn't want to leave her dad and friends but she feels like she has to go for a visit at least. She has to decide what she feels she needs to do--follow her roots to save her family's heritage or live her normal life as a small town car restorer. This is a difficult decision for Reggie but she has Tanner to help her through the strange situation that she is thrown in and they develop a relationship that brings them close to each other. Faith plays a big part in helping Reggie and Tanner through this time.
This is a sweet story that is surreal but also lets us see God's hand in the outcome.
I would have given it five stars, but I wanted to see Regina rebuild the Duchy blessing the people, but anyhoo. It was a great book built on Christian values with a touch of the Devine and the Holy spirit.

Regina goes on a quest she's not sure she's cut out for, she meets a handsome man who becomes her advisor and he's worse off the she is. Regina is royalty and her gram has left her a secret message. As she ask God for direction he gives her so much more.
If you enjoy a nice clean romantic story this book is for you. Rachel Hauck weaves stories that keeps you on your toes and guessing about what's going to happen next.
This is the second book in the Royal Wedding series. You don't need to read book 1 in this series although those characters do make cameos in this one book. The main characters, Reggie and Tanner, are really likable separately and together. Reggie is just a down-home girl who gets thrown into an extraordinary situation and Tanner is there to guide her even though he tries to keep his distance. Although the idea was interesting, I thought the story moved slowly and I felt as if I was waiting for something to happen. It might have been because I listened to this as an audiobook and getting through them takes longer. However, the narrator was excellent with all the different voices and accents. I enjoyed the mystery of Reggie's great-grandmother and the connection between the past and present. I wasn't too enthusiastic about the supernatural component, it seemed to lend itself towards a very pat ending but that is just my opinion. Overall, this was a solid entry in the Royal Wedding series and I look forward to the next book.
This is my second read by this author, and I was drawn to this series after reading Once Upon a Prince, book 1 in this series; I picked it up when in was a deal of the day and enjoyed it, so I wanted to continue with this series. What girl does not love a good Princess story, especially when it is a involves an everyday girl next door; and it is even better, when a sweet romance ensures. This is a Christian based story, and there were subtle references to scripture and faith through out the book; this author is also gifted at all the historical feel of the premise of the backdrop of the story. She makes the whole legacy and background of the royal lineage seem plausible and believable. I also liked that Tanner had made mistakes in his past, that did not mark his future and deemed him still able to find love and happiness in his present and future. The romance was sweet, and was a nice way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.
