Fame and FortuneAn All Cocks Story book #2Victor Dimir moved to America with his traditional Romanian parents when he was just a child. His Romani parents taught him their traditions and how to be a shrewd business man, but it was the attention of a classmate at school that taught teenage Victor about his sexuality. When he came out to his parents he knew it would be difficult for them to understand, but he never expected them to disown him.Andrew Jones grew up with a single mom and his grandmother teaching him about life, he had an absentee father at best. The only thing the man ever did for Andy that stuck was buy him a camera for his thirteenth birthday. When Andrew went off to college on a scholarship to study photo journalism, he wound up falling in love with his Romanian roommate.They became inseparable and wound up starting their own business together: a gay porn website where people could go and watch romantic gay porn instead of the rough and tough, or wham bam thank you man crap that was flooding the internet at that time. After ten years together they were still perfectly happy, not realizing something was missing, until they met a broken young man that needed a family.Matthew Carlson was homeless, jobless and broken. At sixteen he ran away from home after being brutally assaulted by several young men that he thought were his friends, and then being told he brought it on himself for being gay by his parents. Matthew has done a lot of things these last few years just to get by. When he finds the flyer for All Cocks, he decides to call and see where it leads. What has he got to lose?Matthew has deep rooted scars that aren't visible on the outside to most. But when he walks into All Cocks, both Victor and Andrew can see the darkness in his eyes; they also see him.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review

So we meet Victor, Andrew, and Matthew in book 1 and they are already together. This book takes us back before [b:Gay for Pay|25593943|Gay for Pay (All Cocks #1)|T. M. Smith|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1432487835s/25593943.jpg|45399572] and we get to learn about how Victor and Andrew come together and how Matthew eventually finds his way into their hearts and family. What a rocky road for poor Mattie. He had a couple of difficult teenage years and thankfully he finds a flyer that leads him to All Cocks. Andrew and Victor are already a couple at this point (and owners of the business), and they take Mattie into their folds. They quickly realize there is more beneath the surface of Mattie and they worm their way into each other's hearts. There was trauma from the past that wasn't dealt with previously, and it was nice to see that it was addressed here and that joining into a throuple relationship was done when emotionally stable.

Getting to know more of these guys' history and a bit more in depth made me appreciate their role in book 1 even more. Despite not being old, they are the papa bears and they are amazing. And again...just like the first book, this was HOT!! Yowzers.

EDITING TO ADD AUDIOBOOK REVIEW:
Wow. I thought the book was HOT when I read it, but DANG it sounded good, too! I really enjoyed the narrator's ability to distinguish between the characters, and I felt like he made them sound the way I could imagine them. I loved it. I think I will be listening to this more than once. :-) Of course it helps that it was one of my favorite books in the whole series, and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite series of all. I am so glad I got the opportunity to review it! ( )

I'm giving this a 3.75.

I liked the story, because I enjoyed watching Matthew's journey. It was nice to see where he ended up from where he started out.

I really liked that Victor and Andrew took their time with Matthew and didn't just jump into a relationship with him. I like that they put a lot of thought into the relationship before they did anything because they didn't want to mess up their existing relationship, and they didn't want to derail Matthew's growth.
