3 pretty good SciFi stories. The MM interaction was perhaps more sex than romance in the first 2 stories.

Not bad, but not overwhelmingly wonderful either. While having a theme is nice, I did think the three stories were all a little too similar. Each involved two men in some life-threatening position meeting two other men and forming two perfect couples. I thought Close Encounter the weakest, enjoying Enhanced and Following the Sun better. But all of them were a little on the thin side, everything moving a little too fast and lacking in enough detail. (Part of why I don't usually read short stories.) But I did enjoy the sci-fi settings and the writing is quite readable. So, again, not bad.

Duh.

What am I supposed to do with these stories?
BTW it's not really believable to find two love stories in less than 60 pages with four main characters each time, come on!
