“Princess Ever After” Book Review

Feb 2, 2015 by Rachel

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing book 2 of Rachel’s Hauck’s “The Royal Wedding” series, Princess Ever After. After reading the first of this series, I was so excited to read the sequel!

 

As is my custom, if I could ask Rachel one question about Princess Ever After, it would be — “Why add the element of old cars to the princess mix?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!

 

And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!
                                                             

 

From the Back Cover:

Regina Beswick was born to be a princess.

But she’s content to be a small-town girl, running a classic auto restoration shop, unaware a secret destiny awaits her. One that will leap from the pages of her grandmother’s hand-painted book of fairytales.

Tanner Burkhardt is the stoic Minister of Culture for the Grand Duchy of Hessenberg. When he is tasked to retrieve the long-lost princess, he must overcome his fear of failure in order to secure his nation’s future—and his own.

Yet lurking in the political shadows is a fierce opponent with sinister plans to abolish the throne forever.

Overwhelmed with opposition, Regina must decide if she’s destined to restore old cars or an ancient nation. Together—with a little divine intervention—Regina and Tanner discover the truth of her heritage and the healing power of true love.

4 – award winning covers!

Another modern day fairy-tale! This one was different from the first because of the fact that Regina had no idea she was a princess until she’s needed to save a nation.

I was glad that Susanna and Nathaniel had minor roles, but I wished to see their characters grow more.

I loved Regina’s character though! She was such an ordinary girl thrust into a so-not ordinary position. And she was faced with a decision that would change the rest of her life—forever. She could either become a princess and save a nation or she could keep with her life as it is and watch her family’s nation vanish. I loved though how at the end, Rachel managed to give Regina something so wonderful, something that tied her to both worlds.
