Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like a princess—just to marry the man she has loved for twelve years. But life isn’t going according to plan. When her high-school-sweetheart-turned-Marine-officer breaks up instead of proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life.
The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simon’s Island is the queen of his heart. A prince has duties, and his family’s tense political situation has chosen his bride for him. When Prince Nathaniel comes to Susanna’s aid under the fabled Lover’s Oak, he is blindsided by love.
Their lives are worlds apart. He’s a royal prince. She’s an ordinary girl. But everything changes when Susanna receives an invitation to Nathaniel’s coronation.
It’s the ultimate choice. His kingdom or her heart? God’s will or their own?

Once Upon a Prince is an endearing and delightful novel that tugged at my heart from the first scene when Susanna's long-time boyfriend breaks up with her. Rachel Hauck has created a winsome cast of characters who are easy to like--with a couple of necessary exceptions, that is! I loved watching Susanna and "Nate" meet and see their friendship develop, especially since she had no idea that he was a prince, and some of the situations that resulted are quite entertaining! As charming as this story is, its deeper beauty is woven throughout as Susanna and Nate grapple with the issue of who God created them to be and seek a greater Kingdom than the earthly one whose crown Prince Nathaniel will wear. Put this one on your summer reading list - highly recommended!
