Publisher Description
Happily-ever-after turned upside down, inside out, and completely over the top! Christian is gaga for Princess Marigold. He’s just a commoner, though, and no match for royalty. Heck, he lives in a cave with a troll! And now he’s discovered another reason to put his love-soggy heart on ice: Queen Olympia is scheming to take over the kingdom-and she’ll bump off Marigold to do it! Can Chris foil her diabolical plans?

"DEFINITELY a children's novel. It was a cute fairy tale-type book. It had a cute story line. I think this would be a good book that you could read to your children. Not much for adult reading, but I think older children would enjoy it (or even a little younger if you read to them). "

" Thanks to Kristi Von! What a darling book. So stinkin' cute. I know I should branch out but when I'm in the mood to read a certain genre, I can't bring myself to read anything else. When I'm in the mood for princesses I just can't read about Nazis. "

" In some ways clever, in some ways predictable. I find the mixed-up sayings/cliches a little interesting, though sometimes I couldn't remember what the real sayings were. A harmless, fast read. "
