The Queens Flight. ( The Emerging Queens #2) by Jamie K.Schmidt. ARC Review.

Courts, queens, and sexy dragons with wings...

Viola Pierce has never had particularly great luck with guys. That is, until the day she shifts into a glorious, deadly, three-headed dragon. As it turns out, Viola is a dragon Queen. But when she's abducted by a greedy dragon who wants to breed with her, Viola begins to realize the dragon world is filled with betrayal, deception, intrigue, and danger...

As a rule, Sergei hates Queens, but Viola's beauty and humanity reach something deep within him. Something he should not be feeling. When she names him her protector and consort--quite by accident--Sergei has no choice but to accept. Now they are bonded for life...with a growing attraction neither of them could have imagined.

But the dragon court is ruthless...and what doesn't kill Viola will only make her more dangerous. 

Viola is working late in the office.  The dragon shifter, who is her boss is the only other one there. There is a dragon queen, one of only five in existence making the news at some kind of ceremony.  Viola only finds out later that it was that ceremony that changed her, and many other women's lives forever. It also put many lives in danger,  especially hers.  The change comes to Viola quickly and she is trapped in an office that is suddenly too small for her new dragon body. She has no idea how to change back to human.
Sergei answers a cryptic call from a friend,  only to find a new dragon queen trapped.  He knows what it's like to be held against your will. So even though he hates dragon queens he will do all he can to help. Protecting Viola will be the most frustrating task he has ever taken on.

This book is laugh out loud funny. Viola's reaction to her new body and the way she deals with the whole split personality side of it had me in stitches. Sergei is a very sexy dragon but has a real bad attitude.  With good reason. There is a fantastic story line,  with bossy overprotective males and extremely strong and sometimes evil females. But for me it is all Viola's character(s) that make the story special.

Take this book to a quiet corner and settle in. Ignore all the strange looks you will get for giggling to yourself. I loved every page.  So much fun.
