Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Sex on the beach has never been so much fun! Jamie K. Schmidt delivers an irresistible tale of second chances, secret identities—and a connection that’s too sweet to miss.
 
When Amelia Parker arrives in Maui, newly single and unemployed, she’s shocked to discover the resort she booked is actually a ramshackle little beachside hotel. At least the scenery is easy on the eyes—as is the toned, laid-back snorkel instructor, “Dude.” After two weeks of sun, serenity, and mind-blowing sex, she even accepts a job as the hotel’s concierge. But what Amelia really wants is to relaunch the place completely. And that means convincing the absentee Wall Street billionaire owner, Samuel Kincaide, to take a chance on her.
 
Samuel has a plan, too: selling off every last reminder of his former life and chilling all day, every day as his slacker altar ego . . . Dude. He loves his romps in the ocean, and under the sheets, with the feisty Amelia. If she discovers his true identity, her boundless enthusiasm and innovative business plan will seriously diminish his hammock time. But when Amelia runs into real trouble on the island, he’ll put everything on the line to keep her safe. He just hopes that the woman who’s falling for Dude will feel the same about Samuel.

Laid back story with an irresistible flair. Ms. Schmidt brought all the warmth of the summer to heat up the winter nights. I received an ARC of Life's a Beach in exchange for an honest review. "Dude" was a great character. Charming, mysterious and sexy as all get out. Amelia is uptight, cynical and needs to relax. She needs to get away. A beautiful island. A sexy stranger. What a way to leave your troubles behind. Loveswept and NetGalley have introduced me to an author that writes stories that are tempting but worth every calorie. ( )

THE QUEEN'S FLIGHT gets started with a bang and it doesn't slow down from there. There is a ton of action, lots of danger and we get to see the couple from the previous book, which I always love.

Having said that, I don't feel that a new reader to the series really had the information they needed to really grasp what was happening in the beginning. For those that have not read the first book, they don't really know what it means that the main character is a Queen or why a male dragon would treat her the way they do and why they would try to keep her to themselves no matter her feelings. I am not one that wants to read a huge recap of a previous book, but those coming into the series for the first time probably needed that to truly enjoy the opening events. SO, I highly suggest any new readers to the series NOT start with THE QUEEN'S FLIGHT.

I hate to say it, but I didn't love Viola. I found her to be a bit of a doormat, some of her reactions didn't really resonate with me and on top of that, I didn't love her dragon form. I would have been ok with the 3 headed part, but one of her heads was a horse and the other was a goat. When I read that for the first time —which was in the first chapter— I was like.. Really? THAT is what she turns into? That was a little too odd for my tastes. Sergei on the other hand I liked pretty early on. He has a dark past, but he doesn't hide his feelings and I liked that.

I did enjoy the overall storyline of THE QUEEN'S FLIGHT. I wish I could have connected better with Viola, but I did end up liking her talents and the way she used them to find the missing Queens. Hopefully the next book's Queen will resonate with me more.
