Part of the Royal Wedding Series

This was a wonderfully delightful series full of romance and fairy tale endings. They also did a great job of the covers of these books. These are "keepers" for me.

Avery Truitt has not seen Prince Colin of Brighton Kingdom for years. He was and is Avery's true love, but he stood her up 5 years ago by not showing up for her prom and broke her heart, and she never heard from him . . . . until now. Avery and her Mom fly over to Brighton to see Avery's sister, Susanna, who married King Nathaniel II (you can read their story in 'Once Upon a Prince'). Once there Avery and Prince Colin will meet again and all those feelings will come back to both of them. It is Christmas time in Brighton and old traditions and love are in the air, and this time there is no stopping true love from happening. I loved the feelings these two had for each other and despite many obstacles, these two have a very happily ever after ending that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Read the whole series to get the most out of these stories, but each story can also be read as a stand alone. Hope you enjoy your stay in Brighton Kingdom as much as I did! ( )

Avery Truitt is someone who was going to college to be a professional volleyball player. 5 years before she meet Prince Colin when she was with her sister Susanna went to Cathedral City. What ever happen to Avery and Colin?

Susanna has invited both her sister and mother to Brington Kingdom for the Christmas season. Will their mother get over their father’s death? There appear someone brings Avery and Colin together at every turn. Will Colin father help or harm Colin? The old bell rings and who has pulled it and rung it?

People do not believe that god had pulled the 600 pound bell that started ringing and bring all people to the where the accident of Prince Michael died. I love that fact that there is a meaning and some true relationship trouble and Hauck shows that in each story in The Royal Wedding Series? She let the characters work it out their own problems. She does not rush them. Rachel Hauck does well with the plot and her writing is wonderful as well. ( )

When I was younger I always dreamed of a fairytale wedding. I wanted the beautiful sweeping wedding dress and a white carriage to ride in to the church. There would be a red carpet for me to walk on and as I saw my prince I would hear harps playing in the background. Yes I bet young girls everywhere had similar dreams about their weddings. This story is enchanting, graceful and filled with forgiveness and love. I enjoyed the references to faith throughout the book that wasn't overwhelming but subtle.

Avery had her heart broken several years ago by Prince Colin. Now she and her mother are traveling to see her sister in Brighton Kingdom for Christmas. It will be a nice distraction for them since the death of Avery's father. There is one slight problem though. Who do you think she will run into when she gets to Brighton? Will she be able to forgive Colin for the pain he caused her?

Colin is a handsome and very eligible bachelor. All the young women are vying for his attention. Even though he is seeing someone, will old feelings stir up when he sees Avery again? It must be hard to grow up in a royal family. There are protocols to be followed and appearances made with the up most of refrain. Can you imagine always being in the spotlight and everything you do is scrutinized? Colin has a strong sense of faith and I loved how he stands up to his dad with great respect.

One of the best parts of the story for me was the Pembroke Chapel Bell. The history goes back one hundred eighty- two years and was so interesting to read. For me the bell was the focal point for the entire story. I loved the details of it and how the author brought the bell to be a part of a beautiful love story. I really enjoyed the book and thought it flowed well. Will Avery find her Prince? Will Prince Colin listen to God and follow his heart? Get ready for a story that is faith filled with a romance that little girl's dream of.

I received this book from The Fiction Guild. The review is my own opinion. ( )

Wow. This book was wow. I am a huge fan of Rachel Hauck, she spins her stories in a way that makes the reader read, think and rejoice. This book certainly was as moving and heart changing as The Wedding Shop. Avery is a character that was easy to relate to. A common, yet talented young woman, who’s true love scarred her heart. She is hurting, yet hopeful for healing. Colin gives a reader butterflies. The romance level and the historical traditions that he holds made this gal, want a real Colin (but for me).
