This is the novel's description:
After a stressful first year at Yesgol, Evan Tailor is looking forward to a vacation with his boyfriend and a stress free year of schooling. Unfortunately, life has other plans. Despite his relative success in last year's tournament, Evan can't rest on his laurels. His impending debts loom ever larger, and his strengthening abilities reveal a conspiracy that runs deeper than Yesgol, one that could shake the roots of the very nation in which he lives.
A conspiracy so deep that even the Ligature is caught up in its web. Evan is forced to use every one of his skills as an enchanter and a diviner to learn more about the mysteries behind the power of the nobility before he's caught and bound in inescapable oaths.
"Deeply creative and intricately imagined, The Enchanter is a masterclass in crafting fantasy with a gentle but vibrant heart.” – Phil Tucker, Author of Bastion

I write fantasy gay erotica! So much of it out there is written by women, for women, so I’ve set out to diversify the market lol. This one is loosely inspired by my childhood in the Mormon church. Don’t be fooled though, it’s still just porn xD

This is the novel's description:
Evan never thought he was going to be special. As the adopted son of a tailor, he had always expected to manage the shop after his father passed. But when his Aura awakens, he finds himself entering Yesgol Academy of Magic, a place filled with the children of elite mages and nobles, all of whom have had magical education from the time they could walk. Among such prestigious company, Evan will have to learn fast or be left in the dust and in debt.
At Yesgol, he studies the arts of enchanting and divination, but all is not as it seems. As Evan pushes forwards his skills as a mage to catch up with his peers, he finds himself entangled with a secret society for the reformation of magic, deals with the occasional extraplanar horror appearing in the shadows of the school, and catches the eye of a charming young noble who's been excommunicated from his family.
"There are so many excellent things I could say about The Enchanter, about how fresh its conflict is, how much fun the magic and setting are, but, in the end, the most important thing I can say about it? I stayed up late reading it until my eyes hurt, and then kept reading it anyways." - John Bierce, author of Mage Errant

The Guncle by Steven Rowley; just checked this out thought it looked like a pretty good summer beach reach to scratch the gay-novel itch!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing :) Since writing this blog, I have discovered so many more books that I want to now read. So maybe I will write another blog with a further 10 books in 6 months time! Thank you for the suggestions :)
May I also suggest 'Le Berceau'. It is also quite far removed from the AIDs crisis, but is still quite erotic at times.

When I was a young teen I read “The Best Little Boy in the World”, and the sequel, “The Best Little Boy in the World Grows Up”. I liked it because it was real, not centered around the spread of AIDS (not that it’s bad, but 15 year-old-me didn’t find it relatable) and wasn’t all sex. (Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Little-Boy-World-Grows/dp/0345423798/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=the+best+little+boy+in+the+world&qid=1588158431&s=books&sr=1-2)
I’ve also enjoyed “The Last Time” by Lee Gould. It talks more about sex, but isn’t erotica or pornographic about it. It’s in the same vein as “The Best Little Boy” series, but modern for someone who grew up in the 90s and 00s.
