If you’ve been following the series (which is not a requirement but recommended!) you’ll know that All Cocks is a porn site that caters to the idea of “gay for pay”. All the models have stage names and in the front of the book is a list of “characters”.
In this story we see three of people we’ve already met – Tristan – Jon’s brother the psychiatrist, Gabe – the guy who lost his lover in book three and Micah- the soldier who has lost a leg and is dealing with PTSD.
It’s been a year since Gio died and Tristan and Gabe are more friends than patient/doctor anymore but Micah is still struggling and hasn’t yet taken Tristan up on his offer of help.
All three men are attracted to one another but there are so many obstacles between them: none of them considers a triad at first, Tristan is their doctor, Gio hasn’t been gone long, Micah’s self esteem… the list goes on.
Eventually, through some unconventional means, the three find their way to one another as a whole and we get our HEA.

I’ve really loved this series. I like how relationship centered the stories are with only a minimal amount of drama to keep things moving. Though these guys are in porn there really isn’t an excessive amount of physical scenes in these stories and what is there feels like it’s mostly to move the story forward.
I thought both Gio/Gabe and Micah/PTSD were really handled well.
There were a few things that bothered me:
In my copy there were a lot of mistakes – I’m sure it’ll be edited out but it was a bit distracting.
The lack of contractions. Normal conversation uses I’ll way more than I will and they’re instead of they are – etcetera – in all four of these books the lack of contractions in noticeable.
Victor’s speech – I love Victor and I love his accent. Sometimes it goes OTT and becomes far more juvenile and less accented.
The doctor/patient relationship – I think Tristan would fail in this story. I think he needed to have been more concerned about his role with these guys and handed their mental care to a buddy before making a move. This is a touchy subject and it was discussed I think it would have been a bigger deal.
All in all I loved these guys finding one another and I really enjoyed catching up with the other MCs from the previous books.

I think Joel Leslie’s narration was wonderful! I loved all the accents and I found his version of Tristan as well as Beau – the guy with the cajun accent – to be fantastically entertaining! As always he does an amazing job with the timing and emotion. I did notice some weird sound issues – like suddenly the sound was a bit quieter or it skipped here and there – but they were few and far between and pretty subtle. All in all I thought it added to my overall enjoyment and elevated my total stars from 3.5 to 4.5 of 5 stars!
