About this listen

Victor 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 a 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 13th 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 10 years together, they were still perfectly happy, but they didn't even realize something was missing until they met a broken young man that needed a family.

Matthew Carlson was homeless, jobless, and broken. He'd been on his own since he was 16 when he ran away from home after being brutally assaulted by several other 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 usually visible on the outside. But when he walks into All Cocks, both Victor and Andrew see them, they also see him. Can three men that didn't even realize they needed each other get past the stigma of society to find a place of happiness together?

This is quite a fast paced story covering five years of the relationship between Victor, Andrew and Mattie. Whilst it is book 2 I didn't feel I missed out on not having read book 1. It works as a standalone. The story has got me interested in the rest of the series so I will be moving on to book 1.
Andrew and Victor are an established couple who have set up their business, All Cocks porn site, the basis for the series. Mattie is homeless and seeks a job with the company. All the characters are really well defined, Victor strong business man, Andrew more artistic side, which compliments Victor, and Mattie who is given a chance to grow. They are all lovable characters but I was draw more towards Mattie who brings an innocent joy and enthusiasm to the story. Mattie's traumatic past is only one of the central themes, the story is also how the 'throuple' build their relationship.

Joel Lesley is a very skilled narrator, he really brings the drama and action in the story to life. His characterisations are excellent. He makes the personalities of each main character shine through.

I would recommend this book. It is fast paced and interesting enough that I would definitely listen to it many times.

I was given a copy of this audio by the narrator in exchange for a fair and honest review.

What a throuple!

Great book - Throuple

I was fortunate to receive both audiobooks 1 and 2 of this series for an honest review.

I think this should have been book 1 of the series, but we wouldn't have had Joel Leslie read it.

Great characters, full of depth, hurt, comfort. Lots of sex. Throuple, MMM. Pasts that need to be kept there in the past. A few triggers for people.

The narration was so much better than book one, but Joel Leslie is a great narrator.
It brought the characters to life, and the story becomes so much better.

This is where we learn about the family that Victor, Andy and Mattie have created. There are so many tender moments between Victor and Andy who have been together a long time.
When they open their home to the young and vulnerable Mattie the very foundation of their home is compromised, until both Victor and Andy confess their mutual feelings to each other and their new boy.
When Mattie truly believes that he is safe with the two men his feelings blossom into love. This is a great story of trusting your gut feeling in life and opening your heart to all possibilities.
l can't wait for more.

a family by choice

Victor and Andy are inseparable and also have a business together: A gay porn website. Matthew lives on the street and accidentally finds a flyer from All Cocks. He has no one to care about when he's shooting porn and he's making money. It seems to be perfect for Matthew.
At the job interview, he meets Victor and Andrew for the first time. The two immediately notice that Matthew has deep-seated scars.

I quite enjoyed the storyline surrounding the three men. My heart broke for Matthew as you learned piece by piece in flashbacks what happened to him.
But also Victor and Andrew have to carry a baggage from their past. The only question is whether the three of them will be able to put the ghosts of the past to rest and look forward.
I really liked the protagonists. Victor and Andrew are interesting characters and I liked Matthew right from the start.
It was nice to watch the relationship of the three develop and how they interact with each other. I was captivated by the story and listened to it in just one day.

T.M. Smith wrote the story in an emotional and compelling way.
The narrator of the first volume wasn't bad, but Joel Leslie is just better. He narrated the book very emotionally and engagingly. Victor had an authentic accent and it was an absolute pleasure to listen to Joel Leslie bring the story to life!
I recommend "Fame and Fortune": There are lots of emotion, hot sex, hurt/comfort. I'm looking forward to continuing the series and am glad to hear them narrated by Joel leslie.

Terrific narration and great story.

Sweet MMM story

Long-time couple, Victor and Andrew, own and run m/m internet porn production house, All Cocks. Matthew is drawn to All Cocks after years of living on the street. At first, Victor and Andrew want nothing more than to protect and nurture the damaged Matthew, but over time all three develop feelings for each other. This was such a tender hurt / comfort mmm romance with well-written dialogue and an absorbing plot. We were introduced to the characters in book 1 (Gay For Pay), and it was wonderful to get Victor and Andrew’s backstory as well as Matthew’s. The story had a good balance of pathos, plot, and steam. Joel Leslie narrates the audiobook with his usual expertise, perfectly capturing the gentle, loving, hurt / comfort tones.

A wonderfully tender hurt / comfort romance!

I'm going to say honestly that this one almost lost me because of the narration. I'm glad I persevered because the story was a good one, but I should have read it instead. These are well written, emotional characters with important stories to tell and I hate to say it, but I felt the narrator trivialized their feelings. There's a lot of hot sex, and T.M Smith writes some terrific scenes... I know this series would work for me so when I have the time I'm going to go back and just read it.

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as good as the ebook

In the first book ‘Gay for Pay’ we met Victor, Andrew and Mattie as the established throuple who own and manage All Cocks Inc, the online Gay Porn site.
In this book get to see how Victor and Andrew first meet in collage, start a relationship and the All Cocks Inc. 10 years later, whilst still madly in love with each other, their relationship as strong as ever and their company becoming very successful, Mattie, a homeless, damaged young man, comes to All Cocks for an interview as a model.
Andrew and Victor can see something in Mattie, the hurt and pain, and give him a home.
Over time Mattie learns to trust the older couple and feelings develop between all three.
I really enjoyed this audiobook, the development of the relationship between the three men was slow and believable.
My only complaint would be that some areas of the book appeared to be rushed and details brushed over.
The authors decision to change narrator was a huge success.
Joel Leslie was superb and I’m glad to see he narrates the rest of the series.

Enjoyable
