The Wedding Chapel by Rachel Hauck.

The Wedding Chapel (Zondervan, November 2015)

For sixty years, a wedding chapel sat silent, waiting for love. But times have changed and the hour has come when it just might be too late.

Retired hall-of-fame football coach Jimmy “Coach” Westbrook never imagined anything would come of his labor of love—the wedding chapel he built for Collette Greer, the woman he fell for back in ‘49. But now an offer has come to turn the chapel into what it was meant to be—a place for love—and Jimmy sees no reason to hang onto his dream any longer.

Photographer Taylor Branson is trying to make a life for herself in New York. Leaving her hometown of Heart’s Bend, Tennessee, she put a lot of things behind her, including her family’s abysmal marriage rate. But love surprises her when she falls head-over-heels for Jack Forester, a top ad man. Their whirlwind romance results in an elopement, and a mountain of doubt. Jack, while genuine in his love for Taylor, can never seem to overcome his own demons to find the words of his heart.

When Taylor takes an assignment in Heart’s Bend, the job does more than send her back to her hometown, but into a world of family secrets buried beneath the sands of time.

When Taylor’s journey intersects with Coach’s, they rediscover the heartbeat of their dreams and that the love they long to hold is right in front of them. And worth every waiting moment.

My Take: This story is told from several different points of view and unlike other books that I have read you do not become more involved in one story line over these others but you are equally invested in all four.  This also is told from the past and the present , the past being in 1949 and in 2015.  This story kinda of hit home a bit as one couple in the book got married quickly after a whirlwind romance and my daughter had a similar story but unfortunately her husband decided not to fight for their marriage and she became divorced yesterday, this couple decided to fight.  Not everything was clean cut and everything was fine but it made for a good story.

My Take:  When I was a little girl my friends and I dreamed of growing up and marrying a prince one day.  I don't know if it was because of all the Disney movies we watched or the fairy tales we read but I think that is why everyone was enthralled by the wedding of Princes Di and most recently the wedding of Kate and William.  These books help to capture that feeling.  I also like how Rachel Hauck weaves in spirituality into her stories so as you get the point but you don't feel as though you are being preached to.  This is the final book in a trilogy and you really should read the other two books before you read this book as there are some recurring characters.

My Take:  Sometimes fairytales come true.  This book sees what happens when Susanna (who has been dumped  by her boyfriend of 12 years) meets a real live prince.  The sillyness and just plain delightful story will have you routing for the pair from the very beginning to the very end.  If you like fairytales and a good clean romance you will surely love Once Upon a Prince.
