Review: Steamy if Shallow BDSM
Rating: 3 out of 5

Caught by Menace doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is - a steamy read with some sci fi trappings thrown in for a touch of exotic. So yes, we have the BDSM trope and a very willing female with a shipful of 'alien' alpha males. It's not about when or will she; rather, how.After reading the really well done Linnea Sinclair sci fi romance books, I always hope for the same level of strong plot line with interesting characters and situations.  But the only conflict in this book is how long until she gives in and in what form it will take.  Somehow, I wanted a bit more than formerly strong girl turned meet, big alpha male with 'heart of gold' tenderness, and a spaceship thrown in for fun.So no, not terrible but this really isn't a sci fi book per se (nor is its predecessor, which you don't need to have read for this book).  And honestly, the whole 'catching' thing of the alien race is just plain silly.  But you don't read this for intellectual stimulation and I don't want to be too harsh for it being what it advertised: a light, easy to read sexy book. Don't worry about the sci fi - it's just set dressing.
