A good book for fans of the Cyborg Seduction Series by Laurann Dohner (it reminded me a lot of that series).  Vicious is the first in this series and it is off to a quick start and grabs your interest.I'm providing a quick summary since at the time I'm posting this review, little information was provided here.  It is set in a world where humans explore space and settle on other planets, with some remaining close to today's world and others becoming much more advanced (apparently this means technology, medicine, muscles and the size of certain male anatomy).  Our hero, Vicious, is an alpha male from an advanced militaristic race who protects the heroine's, Hallie, more primitive race.  In return for protection, a "Grab" is held where single women are gathered and hunted down to be claimed unless they reach the safe zone.I felt the relationship was rushed due to the length of the book and a longer story would have made for a better read but I still enjoyed the story.  We are introduced to other characters that hint at future storylines in this series.  The romance was quickly formed with little drama (one jealous scene) and a happy ever after but with war ramping up, dangerous times loom ahead.  Although this book sets a common enough sci-fi scene of very alpha males, BDSM-lite and lots and lots of sex, the author does a great job of entertaining the reader without an "ick" factor and providing interesting characters.  I'm hoping to see: Terror and Menace get their own storylines; the books get more fleshed out and longer; that one of the "grabbed" women escape their 30 day confinement and is claimed by another; and that one woman gets to elude the man chasing her and reaches the safe zone.  So yeah, that means I will be reading other books in this series.BDSM, voyeurism and other assorted kink are lightly introduced.  The language used to describe sexual acts is for 18+ audiences.
