After reading the first book in this series, I was truly intrigued by the characters of Victor, Andrew and Matthew and how their relationship came about. Here in Fame and Fortune, we get to go back to the point at which Matthew entered their lives and see exactly how they meet and evolve together…which turns out to be a very interesting tale.
You can’t help but feel for Matthew after finding out everything he’s been through in his life. I wanted to give his parents a very large piece of my mind, and as for his “friends” from high school–I don’t see how anyone who reads this wouldn’t want to just rip them apart.
There’s a lot of emotion in this story, along with a lot of compassion once Matthew is brought into the All Cocks family. Too see what he goes through, even as he is starting to heal, pulls at your heart and gives you a lot of food for thought. It’s quite satisfying to witness how he makes his way into Victor and Andrew’s lives, home and hearts.
The one thing that continually stands out is how carefully Andrew and Victor handle Matthew’s situation once they hear his story, and how they thoughtfully manage his entry not only into their business, but into their lives and hearts.
Fame and Fortune is another great story in the All Cocks series, and I’m looking forward to many more enjoyable books to come with these characters. 4 strong and emotional stars for Fame and Fortune, recommended for M/M fans 18+ due to explicit sexual content as well as the sexual assault scene in the blurb’s warning.
Audio Notes: I really enjoyed Joel Leslie’s audio narration, he did an amazing job voicing the characters, especially Matthew who sounds young and innocent-exactly the way he should. I also loved Victor’s voice, between that and the way he delivered Victor’s lines I laughed out loud a few times as I thought “that is SO Victor!”. The pacing was perfect, and the voices consistent…I’ve already listened to this more than once, and know that I’ll be queuing this up again soon!
