I need extreme escapism. Can anyone recommend MM with aliens/sci-fi or maybe even demons? I've read Lyn Gala and Kora Knight's Krie series and loved both. Lisa Henry's Deep Space is also a favorite.

I'm better with numbers than words... Hence the reason I (more often than not) leave thoughts and feelings about things I've read than actual reviews.I'm better with numbers than words... Hence the reason I (more often than not) leave thoughts and feelings about things I've read than actual reviews. My ratings are based on entertainment value over technical merit.
I read for escape and tend to avoid books with over the top angst. I generally don't like to cry when I'm reading unless it's the good kind of tears. (Con Riley's After Ben and T.A. Webb's Second Chances almost broke me.) Cheating is almost always 99.99999999% a dealbreaker for me.
Lately I've been completely obsessed with M/M romance.
Copied from GR message board. Loosely defines my basis for star rating.
5 stars - "made my heart sing" Usually it will steer me towards a new interest in a time period or historical events or make me a fan of an author
4 stars - really liked it, but didn't have that extra something that made me go "wow" as I read it
3 stars - It had enough going for it that I kept reading, but still left me feeling "meh" in some spots
2 stars - Technically competent, but formulaic and otherwise no great shakes. These are the books that have me thinking my review might end up being, "This is a book and there were words in it."
1 star - Inferior in impossible-to-ignore ways or, the worst sin IMO, out and out BORING. ...more
