Grabbed by Vicious is the start of a new sci-fi erotic romance series by Lolita Lopez called Grabbed.As a way to negotiate assistance from a more technologically advanced race the people of Hallie's planet agreed to set up a bride grab event in which the warriors are able to have a chance to chase down and "grab" a bride. Hallie finds herself captured in a bride grab by a huge sexy warrior who's name makes her shutter if fear, Vicious.Vicious is a warrior's warrior he has made his way up to the rank of Colonel in the ground services part of the military for his people. He has always had a thing for busty blonds that is until he lays eyes on Hallie. Once Hallie is his he will do what ever it takes to make her happy and feel safe.I am a closet geek and love the trend towards sci-fi and erotic romance blending. Ms. Lopez gives us a whole new culture and races to deal with in Grabbed by Vicious. The action and the sex is plentiful as is our alpha male apologizing for everything :O( When it says light BDSM it is only in just a couple of scenes and Vicious is rather soft when it comes to Hallie. I would have liked to see him be a little more alpha and take charge, the culture seems to be set up for that and yet he does a lot of worrying about upsetting Hallie.Hallie is tougher than she looks and she is smart, loyal and adventurous. I thought that the BDSM could have been used a bit more as Hallie seemed to accept and adjust to everything thrown her way with no worries. We have a secondary storyline that is about changes coming in the way things are handled with the captured brides and a friendship with Vicious's friends and fellow warriors Malice and Terror.Over all I enjoyed this read, I would rate it between a 3 1/2 and a 4, I will be sure to look for the next in the series as it looks to be promising.I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
