Is not just erotica but more so like a book with erotic scenes in it, well written, with a good plot and interesting and complex characters. Also preferably male gay characters. Bonus points if it’s a series or slow burn or enemies/ rivals to lovers.
If it’s saucy enough I’m also open to other books that are well written, have interesting complex characters etc. but it’s not a romance/ about two gay lovers. (I’ve heard Kushiel’s Dart is saucy??)
Can be any genre — sci-fi, fantasy, werewolves/ vampires/ witches, historical, political intrigue, etc.
For reference I’ve read (and LOVED) The Captive Prince trilogy, like THIS is what I’m looking for, or something similar to this. Have also read The Song of Achilles. Also loved the film and TV series Interview with a Vampire. (Oh shit does the book have gay sex scenes in it? Or just homoerotic undertones?)
Pls guys I need to get back into reading and I fear smut is the only way. You could say I need it to be my gate way drug
