How to Catch a Prince (Zondervan, February 2015)
She caught her prince once. Can she catch him again?
American heiress Corina Del Rey’s life was devastated by war. Every thing she loved was lost. But after five years of grief, she’s shed her grave clothes and started over in the sunshine along the Florida coast.
But some things are not so easily forgotten. When a secret from her past confronts her face to face, she realizes she must follow her heart. Even if it cost her everything.
Prince Stephen of Brighton Kingdom is a former Royal Air Command lieutenant turned star rugby player, trying to make sense of his life after the devastation of war.
When his brother, King Nathaniel, discovers Stephen’s pre war secret, he must deal with an aspect of his life he longed to forget. But how can he do so without exposing the truth and breaching national security?
Yet, true love has a destiny all it’s own. As the cathedral bells peal through Cathedral City, Corina and Stephen must chose to answer the call of love on their hearts.
Or let it be lost forever?

My thoughts:
I have read the second book and then this one in this series. I really need to go back and find the first one to read as well because I am in LOVE with this series! I love that they incorporate the Royal families being more human and approachable. I also enjoy that they bring Americans into the mix. We’re far from being Royal normally and definitely a whole different set.
Our author is wonderful and draws you into her books. You become her main character. You feel what they feel and cannot wait to find out what happens.
Read no further if you are planning to read.
I loved meeting our angels. Adelaide was so perfect. I loved her. Loved her mannerisms and the gifts and wisdom she gave to our Princess. Because she really is a princess. First and foremost you is a Princess of the King being a daughter of God. But secondly, well she’s married to the Prince! Even if she didn’t realize she was still married. Corina is the perfect picture of a Southern Belle of the modern era. Life of privilege but not utterly spoiled. Prince Stephen is very down to earth and not quite ready for his royal role.
But what drove them apart? Why can neither of them get over the death of Corina’s twin? Oh so many slight twists and turns in this book. Very good! We hear about our main character from book 2 and meet the main girl from book 1(who I still need to read about).
Wonderful read and definitely becoming one of my favorite authors. It read very quickly and I didn’t want to put it down!
