I picked up a copy of Delilah Dare’s Fallen for the Two-Headed Dragon as an Amazon freebie. You can find a review of book one in the series (Married to the Mahr) here.
A hiking trip with her boyfriend turns into a tragic late-night news episode when Dana is pushed off a cliff, only to land in the lair of a two-headed dragon.

Taken by surprise, Rathym watches her scramble away – but by dragon code, he knows she now belongs to him. He will not allow his property to stray very far.

When Dana is inevitably dragged back to his lair, tensions rise, and Dana begins to wonder if he was right – she does belong to him.

I’m going to be honest. I didn’t plan to read this book. I was not impressed with the 1st book in the series, mostly due to the author’s style. So, I was gonna skip the rest. But I made a fundamental mistake. I grabbed my Kindle for a trip I knew would leave me waiting in the car for an hour, forgetting that it was a new one and I’d downloaded almost nothing. Literally, the only thing downloaded from the cloud that hadn’t already been read was this book. (I imagine I downloaded it and Married to the Mahr at the same time.) So, there I sat with very few options but to read Fallen for the Two-Headed Dragon, and let me tell you, I was no more impressed with it than the previous book.

Never have I seen an author set up an interesting element in a book that was as poorly utilized as Rathym’s two-headedness. I mean, sure, the two peens get plenty of play. But the two heads…none. Past the midpoint in the book, I started to wonder if he only had two heads when in large dragon form but not the bipedal human-ish form. But I didn’t know. I DID NOT KNOW. Halfway through the book, I did not know if the character had two heads all the time or only some of the time! I never knew. Having two heads is of so little importance that I didn’t even know how to visualize the character. The heads don’t speak individually. He doesn’t seem to use them separately. There is nothing to indicate his two heads have a point.

I’ll be further honest: I skimmed the book’s last third, especially the sex scenes. There was so little plot, and I was so bored. I didn’t want to DNF because I dislike DNFing books, but I wanted to be done. This author seems to have conceptualized ideas that look like they should interest me, but the way she writes is a no-go for me.
