as posted at THE READING CAFE 30 Jul 134 out of 5 for this reader folks!What a refreshing spin on a common story many of us grew up with.  A reverse Sleeping Beauty indeed.  Quest of the Hart by Mary Waibel is a short (just over 150 pgs according to my ereader), action packed, magical, light love story between a prince and princess, and the evil that threatens their future together.Princess Kaylee (our leading lady) starts this story with her betrothed Prince Devlin as a meek, intelligent and gentle woman falling in love with her handsome prince.  One day while the princess and prince are on a ride through the forest, they come across the prince's sister Princess Arabella.  Princess Arabella is the first born twin sister to Prince Devlin and she has a serious bone to pick with her brother.  convinced he has stolen the throne from her just by being male, she traps Prince Devlin into a spell by stabbing him with a dagger.  Before she is able to stab Princess Kaylee (ensuring her blood is on the same dagger as the Prince's, intending to kill them both), Princess Kaylee gets away.Now Princess Arabella is really ticked off.  Her spell isn't complete and she has only a certain amount of time to ensure it gets sealed or she will suffer certain consequences.  Princess Kaylee is picked up (she was injured when she fled) by others who possess magic and is shown the way to break the spell.  Through dangerous quests and Princess Kaylee's resolve to free the man she loves, turns her into a kick ass heroine!  We encounter blood,swords, misses of death, hunting, dragons, magic and ultimately true love!This is a fluffy read.  Meaning, no grit or dirty, no sex .. it's very PG.  I do prefer a book that has more grit to it, but for those that do not, this is a beautiful fast read!  If you love a good fairy tale where the woman is in charge, then for sure pick this book up!HAPPY READING!
