I really enjoyed this book and it's going on my keeper shelf to re-read. It was so funny that I kept laughing out loud.

I also liked how hard Midas tried to make Gwen and her daughter like him.

Examples of funny quotes:
"He picked up a remote control and clicked on his two-story high fireplace, in case she was cold. The mantle was made of yellow bricks. Damn Munchkins had charged him an outrageous amount for each and every one, but they were the best."

She crossed her arms over her chest, reminding herself to stay strong in the face of his marshmallow-ness. “You don’t need to buy us things, Midas.”
He hesitated and she could tell he didn’t agree. “I only got the basic necessities.”
“You bought a four-foot tall robotic teddy bear that plays golf.”
“All children need one of those. The shop clerk assured me it’s educational.”

“In addition to lacking a sense of right and wrong, my prison psychiatrist informs me that I’m pathologically incapable of doing what Good folk want.” Midas explained, like that nonsense was somehow true. “I’m also prone to disproportionally violent responses when people cross me. I’m selfish, greedy, narcissistic, and --in short-- irredeemably Bad.

"What about starting some kind of henchman school?” The Cat chimed in, absently strumming her fiddle, which was lying flat on the (not-round) table. It was a nervous tick. “They need training in the minion-ing arts. Those dishes and spoons I work with are fucking nymphos, constantly running off together. It’s cutting into my bottom line, especially since the Cow jumped off to who-the-hell-knows-where.” She looked over at Little Dog. “Am I right?”
Little Dog laughed, because Little Dog always laughed, because Little Dog was always high. Midas had no idea how the jackass got any villainy done when he was forever stoned out of his spotted skull."

I loved how in love with Gwen Midas was and how he would protect her from anyone and everything.

This book had it all, hot intimate scenes, humor, good plot, and great supporting characters. I really want Trystan the Gryphon to get a book, I'd love to see Trystan fall in love.

I can see myself re-reading this book over and over as a comfort read. Good romance, hot, funny, and no angst.

I have not read the earlier books in the series and the author told the reader everything they needed to know. I plan to go back and see if I like book 1 and book 2 as much as I did Midas and Gwen's book 3. ...more

3.5 stars = I liked it. The Kingpin of Camelot was an oddball mashup of characters from all sorts of fantasy 'verses but it ended up being pretty cute - True Love and building the family of the heart when the one of your birth lets you down made the the story for me. ...more

3.5 stars. A little too much insta-love and over-the-top romance. But the characters are likable, and I love the unique mashup of all of the fairy tales.
