My Use of Humor Over Angst

I tried writing a book that was a good mix of angst and humor once. It did not go well. People hated the main character, his love interest and only seemed to like the guy who provided the most comic relief. That got me thinking that perhaps angst just wasn’t my thing and that using humor was. I’ve always been a fan of rom coms, and have tried my best to insert that vibe into my work. 


My books will still have a touch of angst, since romance is never without it.  Yet, I think I want to focus more on the comedic effect of the situation (as well as all the steamy possibilities) than on putting my characters through hell and back. It’s what I’m good at, and will hopefully become my brand. 


Does anyone know if any hilarious gay romances that I can read for inspiration?
