There are multiple characters and a nice mix of technology and magic.
Bryce was not easy to love at first. I found her careless attitude quite off-putting. But she slowly grew on me. Hunt was a mystery hidden in an enigma and I still don't fully understand his backstory.
I'll for sure continue this series, but it can use a lot more steam please...more

Royce, who runs the online company, seems to find ex-military guys that have fallen through the cracks of the system. He gives them support and a family-like environment so they can get back on their feet. The porn is the means to the end and is pretty damn hot.
I love how Hamish took Eli under his wing and showed him the ropes. Eli is always second guessing himself and hung-up with gay/straight labels...this got tedious after a while.
The ending was a bit jumbled but I still got the ending I wanted...although it was very abrupt....more

I was saddened to read about the authors problems with her publisher Ellora's Cave. Lolita Lopez has decided to walk away from the series due to unresolvable contract issues...this sucks the big one. I've become really invested in the characters and wanted to see them all get HEAs.
I really like Dizzy. She was so innocent but truly genuine. Venom fell for her right away, the big lovable softy. He was able to gently introduce her to her sexual side and teach her all about his passion for rope play and bondage.
Great twist about Dizzy's bloodline.
Merged review:
Definitely my favorite of the Grabbed series.

Sadie has always felt out of place but she connects immediately to Legion. This being is incredible...not just in size but in genius and gentleness. When Sadie goes on a mission to save him, she runs into her other gorgeous mates. I adore this series but not sure if more books are coming....more

Not too sure if this is a dystopian Earth or another planet, but humans have evolved and have strange powers. Orrey always thought he was a plain "regular" human until he runs into Senlas. He spends a lot of time trying to deny his "Conduit" abilities but Senlas slowly wears him down.
I like the whole team and am curious to find out more about them; especially Col.
In the ending climax, we get a teaser of what's outside the city walls...but now I just want more....more

This installment is darker and features 2 older wolves who have been apart for almost 70 years. Poor Rory never got over Kolya/Nikolai and almost lost himself to his wolf. We get some flashbacks to how it was for wolves during the second world war. Against all odds, Kolya finds himself in the US and Rory is able to find him. Very sweet; these guys deserve some happiness.
We also get to follow Aaron and Zach and their relationship also takes a leap forward....more

The concept is good; but the execution could have been better (lots of typos...etc). I mostly enjoyed the multiple POVs and we got to see various relationships that were each very different. Cole and Aziz was amazing and hot; very steamy with real feelings. Samantha and Keet was very one-sided; Sam being totally oblivious to Keet's feelings for her. Elenor and Vok was kind of uncomfortable. They are both very reluctant to being paired together.
The Kathar aliens are very technologically advanced but now depend on humans to procreate. They are non-binary; have no genitalia or "holes" whatsoever. They don't even have faces; which is super creepy. They eat by absorbing patches they stick to their skin and their skin changes color depending on their emotions (they are even bioluminescent). They are empathic and pick up feelings by touch. One thing that's not explained is how they see/hear with no eyes/ears and how they talk with no mouth.
The end is not really an end as we have no resolution; especially with Elenor and Kov. I'll for sure continue the series....more

I must admit that iI still love this series...Jed and Redford always steal the show. It's a long story and the pacing got a little slow in some spots. I must admit that it took me a while to like Victor. He puts off an arrogant vibe and it took him FOREVER to even consider Randall in a romantic way.
I wanted a more definite resolution to Anthony's illness and some info on his mysterious (view spoiler)[selkie (hide spoiler)] mate. I hope he'll make an appearance in the next book. I have a theory that Anthony's illness is a result of him (view spoiler)[losing his mate and that he should be cured if Vil comes back (hide spoiler)].

The writing was good but there was lot's of info dumps on shifter life and politics and not too much about the romance. The plot is quite original though, I've never read a shifter book anything like this. Abby is a strong lady, but she takes too quickly to becoming an alpha wolf. Jake was amazing at first, but as Abby's power increases, he seems to fall to the wayside and become her sidekick instead of her lover. The ending wasn't really an ending, not sure if I'll continue...more

Both Redford and Jed seem so real. These guys are still quite mysterious to me. We don't know much about Jed's past other than he's a slutty ex-soldier who loves guns and explosions. Red, on the other hand, was pretty much a shut in until Jed stormed into his life. He was kept hidden by his grandmother who didn't know how to deal with his werewolf issue.

I had problems believing that Hattie would be so affected by her father's treatment/abuse, that she still feels she has to take care of him. The mystery/suspense part also fell a little flat. We don't learn anything new and the dirty cops are still out there. I did enjoy getting to know the sexy Axl and to see Hattie embrace her artistic side....more
