Synopsis

I’ve built a life, a home and a business from the ground up with Andrew by my side every step of the way. Fame, fortune and a family was the promise I made him ten years ago; and with hard work and dedication we did it, together. Neither of us even realized something was missing until a skittish young man with a haunted look in his eyes walked into our office.

Victor never doubted who he was, even when he lost everything.

Still a boy when he came to America with his strict, traditionalist Romanian parents, Victor’s Romani upbringing taught him their traditions as well as discipline and perseverance. When he told them he was gay he knew it would be difficult for them to understand, but he didn’t expect them to disown him.

Andrew knew Victor was his soulmate after spending just one night together.

Raised by a single mom, his father disinterested in his role most of the time, Andrew thrived in the chaos. The only thing his dad ever did for Andy that stuck was buy him a camera for his thirteenth birthday. When he went off to college on a scholarship to study photo journalism, he wound up finding so much more than he expected.

Together they created an online businesses that blossomed and grew, the result a family that was as different as they were committed to one another.

Matthew was homeless, jobless and… broken.

At just sixteen he ran away from home after a brutal assault, his parents tossing him aside like garbage. Matthew has done a lot of things over the years living on the street in order to survive. When he finds the flyer for All Cocks, he decides to call and see where it leads. What has he got to lose?

Can three men that did not know they needed each other get past the stigma of society to find a place of happiness, together?

**Trigger warning-Sexual assault**

Even better the second time around.

It’s a little unusual for me to read a book after having listened to the audiobook but that’s what happened with Fame and Fortune. I originally listened to the audiobook, performed by Joel Leslie, back in April 2018 and I loved it so much. Author TM Smith has been reworking the stories from her series previously called All Cocks. She is releasing them with new content, new covers and a new series name: Stories from the Sound, so I’ve revisited Fame and Fortune by reading the new ebook.

While book one, Gay for Pay, focused on the main character of Christopher Allan Roberts and his journey to becoming an All Cocks model named Kris Alen, Fame and Fortune focuses on the triad/throuple of Victor, Andrew and Mattie who own/run/manage All Cocks. They were introduced in Gay for Pay but Fame and Fortune is their story and gives us the background on how they came to be in their ménage relationship.

Victor and Andrew have been together since college; they are much older than Mattie. They meet him when he applies for a job to be a model for All Cocks. Mattie has been through some awful things but he’s reluctant to tell Victor and Andrew everything.

Victor and Andrew take Mattie into their home to care for him and help him get his GED. As they spend more time with Mattie, they both begin to realize that he means more to them than just someone they want to help.

I have to be honest, since it’s been two years since I listened to the audiobook, I can’t really remember everything well enough to be able to tell where there was new content added to the story. But I can tell you that I enjoyed it every bit as much this second time around. Getting to know Victor, Andrew and Mattie all over again was a joy. T

When I listened to the audiobook I was brought to tears in places and the same thing happened while I read this refreshed version of the ebook. I’m looking forward to revisiting the remaining books in this refreshed series as they are re-released.
