This story is about two men who have been best friends for life, but are destined to become lovers. Rafi Mura runs a space craft business and Roberto is a public porn star performer on Sex Idol. Rafi stops over at Roberto’s to check in on him while he is on Earth for a bit, only to discover his sexy, masculine, burning flame of his affections has let himself go, something horrible. He’s now overweight, and heart broken from his break with his acting partner/girlfriend Fifi, who has now moved on to bigger and better things.
To make matters worse Roberto (now wanting to be called Bob) has become hooked on Vroom. A drink that is very addictive. Not only is he overweight and unhealthy, but he is dead broke with debt collectors hounding him for funds he owes. After his second visit to Bob, during which debt collectors come calling, Rafi convinces his friend to go with back out into space with his crew and to help him get healthy. Once aboard, Rafi’s crew work with Bob so he can become healthy and get back into shape.
Bob decides he wants to go back on the Sex Idol circuit but needs to practice. Rafi of course, having been in love with Bob for years, graciously volunteers to assist him. Initially Bob is resistant but soon realizes the chemistry between himself and Rafi. Rafi all the while is falling deeper and deeper in love with Bob who, unbeknown to him) is planning to get back with ex-girlfriend Fifi. Bob and Rafi’s crew convince Rafi to go onto the Sex Idol circuit so that Bob can begin winning again and Rafi can earn money to get the bigger ship that he wants. With much coercing, Rafi agrees and after a winning streak on the Sex Idol circuit, hoping to get the man of his dreams and for Bob to earn the star status that he wants. A win/win situation.
There are twists and turns in this story, which I can’t tell you about for it would ruin it. You’ll have to read Fallen Idol and find out for yourself. This was a great ‘gay’ read, and a genre that is becoming increasingly popular! I look forward to reading more from the very talented, Ms. Monro. Be sure to check out the many other available titles from this prolific author. If your tastes are anything like mine, you will not be disappointed!
