I read this with my KU subscription and loved it! It's the second book in the series and I've enjoyed both of them. I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more notice. The sex and spanking scenes are extremely frequent and well-written. The book is, for the most part, well-edited with enough plot to hold the attention and carry the story.
I should warn you that there is a kidnap scene which leads to three women being captured and threatened with rape. One of them does end up being raped by two men at once so if that's likely to upset you, you might want to avoid this book.
For the rest I'm going to be blunt and say this is mostly light and fluffy spanking fun. The plot is there, but the focus is clearly to spank women as much as possible through the course of the book and I have no problem with that. Sometimes I want heavy plot and sometimes I want this. If you're looking for realistic sci-fi with a likely future society you probably won't be happy, but lighten up--it's fun!
In this book we have an official vessel where spanking is basically the way they keep discipline. They even have hired a maternal type figure to punish everyone, and for those who prefer to be spanked by a man they have an officer who can handle that. So there are F/F scenes, M/F scenes, and also a spanking machine, and both sexy and discipline spankings. I would say the scenes are more heavily slanted towards romantic hetero spankings though.
Down on the planet this society is apparently big on spanking wives and slaves too. Which I find to be a nicer treatment than real slaves would have gotten in that kind of society. (They seem fairly Greek or Roman in their beliefs and behaviors and clothing.) There was a lot less punishment in the planet scenes that involved just the locals and I enjoyed those as much as the ship plots which were more spank and sex-driven.
The authors are clearly very talented so I'm torn. On one hand I'd love to see more world building here because they have some really interesting premises going on, but you know, also I just like the constant spanky fun so I'd hate to lose that. It's really hard to balance those two any better than they've already done, but I will say if they ever decided to do a less-kinky version of these books with more plot and just a few scenes I'd still want to read them.
