How I learned to Snap is a rather fun read, and much more positive. A lot of fun lines like "My father never spanked me, which is probably why today nothing hits the spot like a good over-the-knee paddling."
Gay novels tend to read like soft core porn. The best books focus at the problem at hand and then look at the antagonists and protagonists as a tool that is used.
Most romance novels flip this, the antagonists and protagonists are the centre of the story and their love is what is causing the problem. Therein lies the problem with a gay novel. The problem is usually some sort of forbidden love, or lost love, or something along those lines.
That all being said, these two books I've found straddled the lines between. Both are coming of age stories, but they're both pretty decent overall.

(On second thought this one is about exactly what I was mentioning being wrong with gay novels.)
