Publisher's summary

The story that inspired the Hallmark Original movie! He’s a royal prince. She’s an ordinary girl. But this holiday could change everything.

Susanna Truitt never dreamed of a great romance or being treated like a princess — just to marry the man she has loved for 12 years. But life isn’t going according to plan. When her high-school-sweetheart-turned-Marine-officer breaks up with her instead of proposing, Susanna scrambles to rebuild her life.

The last thing Prince Nathaniel expects to find on his American holiday to St. Simons Island is the queen of his heart. The prince has duties, and his family’s tense political situation means he won’t be able to marry for love or even choose his own bride. When Prince Nathaniel stops to help Susanna, who is stranded with a flat tire under the fabled Lover’s Oak, he is immediately enchanted by her. And even though he’s a total stranger, Susanna finds herself pouring her heart out to him.

Their lives are worlds apart, and soon Nathaniel must face the ultimate choice: his kingdom or her heart?

Easy read... uncomplicated plot... Christian

The narrator was great. I enjoyed listening to her.

The story was kinda Hallmark... nice for an easy read with no complication. I like the Christian focus stressing the importance of leaving your life in God's hand for him to work things out.
The characters were engaging and likable. The story
could've done with a bit more conflict but I can live with it as is.

Excellent Storyline and Narration

This is the first book I've read/listened to by Rachel Hauck. I was expecting the religious aspect since I had read the reviews. I was a bit surprised by the storyline as it's not often you get a royal story with Christian roots. It was well written and I didn’t want to pause the audio. Sweet HEA. It left me with a warm heart and smiling big.

Lisa Larsen is an excellent narrator. She did well with the male and female voices and it rolled like a movie in my head.

Too much religion

This is way too much religion. It’s a great book for a 14 year old or”christian faith” person though. Half way through and have to give up. Narrator can’t carry me through. It’s too meh.

Nice Christian Love Story

Great Ready.

Wouldn't change a thing.

Thank you for writing a wonderful book. God Bless You!

Great for Followers of Jesus!!

This was so great especially for one following Jesus. And are led by God's Holy Spirit. There was a lot in here, things about forgiveness, putting on the Armor of God, especially to the reference to the Feet of Peace. So. great!!! Great for those who know and or are learning God's character. This is a good representation of how God works out things for those who genuinely Love Him. As He Is Love! It shows how God writes out our Love Storys if we will surrender and let Him. And be honest with ourselves about what we need to work on. He always knows best. This was an awesome romance Christian book. You can tell that this writer isn't just writing a book about Christianity but is filled with The Holy Spirit and writes guided by Him. This author also knows about surrender. As it is very important and usually determines what kind of relationship one has with Jesus. You can always tell one by their fruit. For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. I like reading authors books that you can tell that they are not religious people. But they have a genuine and healthy relationship with God and are genuinely following God as well. It completely shows that you are and have seen and heard the Goodness of God in your life by how this book was written. All Glory to God! Awesome book!!!

Lovely!

What a wonderful and inspiring book. Great narrator and kept my interest to the end!

Enjoyed this book...

Beautiful Christian story, where glory and honor is given to the Lord Jesus. Thank you.

Prince + heaps of God shoved down your throat.

This story is wonderful, but be warned that the author brings up God every few sentences and keeping the faith in God is shoved at you a tremendous amount. I somehow missed that important detail in the plot description and wouldn’t have listened to this had I known. If you don’t like listening about religion then try a different author, I will.

Blessing

This book blessed me because it was a beautiful love story that demonstrated Godly morality which our world is in sort supply of. The main character seeks God’s will which is what we all should do.

Enjoyed this story!

I found this story very refreshing. So many stories are full of profanity. This story was not. I feel comfortable letting my teenage granddaughter read it. I was also impressed with the faith the characters express. And I like happy endings!
