Super high steam which didn't really work for me in my current mood - the relationship starts with meaningless hookups and I found the frequent sex scenes distracting from the plot (and for that matter the romance) - there were too many of them to easily skip.

I received this as arc from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
So if you like space porn and post concussion/radiation poisoning/other deadly incidents sex then this is for you. I personally could not get into as I am very much not a fan of instasex at the moment. I really love bonding fic but this was a bit of a let down for me. I didnt enjoy it that doesnt mean others wont for the reasons I didnt. I did not enjoy Zach or Anders and just overall the rescuing/dying/fucking was not my jam.
The writing isnt bad but it isnt great. Its kind of like a sad apple pie for me.

Sooooo, this was not very good. There was WAY too much sex, given the length and amount of plot. It seriously suffered from lack of subtlety or buildup. As an example, the first time the two men met was over a dinner at the captain's table. The only conversation was about the steak, and it's barely a conversation. There was no indication that these two men had any interest in each other. Then on the next page, they were jumping into bed and the pet names and 'this is special' starts. The whole book was like that. The authors don't give anything time to develop, just lobbing stuff at the reader out of no where.
Mechanically, the writing is fine, except for some repetition. They seemed to do nothing but rub noses and fall into bed. But the book is just too long. Half of the petty squabbles could have been cut and we'd still understand they were struggling to get to know one another. As could half the sex scenes. They were fairly repetitive anyway, always doing the same things. I just didn't enjoy it and have no interest in continuing the series.
