A copy of this book was provided for free from NetGalley in return for an honest review.  I have not received any compensation for this review, it's freely given.I really liked this story, but the back-and-forth between past and present was confusing.  And I had to giggle to myself when the characters referred to the Interstellar Navy as the "Spavy".Mark joins the Spavy as a way to pay bills & send his younger brother to college.  Shane is following a family tradition, his father is a retired Spavy Captain.  The pair meet when Mark is assigned to Shane's unit(?) as a fighter pilot.  Shane is the unit's Tactical Officer & helps Mark through his first live mission.Mark wants to be more than just a subordinate to Shane, but Shane won't give in since he's an officer & Mark isn't.  So Mark goes to Officer Training.  When he returns, he corners Shane & the two become romantic partners as well as Resonance partners.Shane is injured during a mission & ends up leaving the Spavy due to PTSD.  Then Mark is captured & retreats into his own Mindscape, so Shane has to figure out a way to reach Mark & bring him out of his own head & back into the real world.Through it all, Shane never gives up on Mark.  And that's what I loved best about this story.
