Joe Cosentino | 383 comments “The one thing you can't escape when reading Cosentino's books is his humour; it's what draws me back time and again to this author. Sometimes the humour is subtle, sometimes it's unashamedly overt - every time it is hilarious.” Boy Meets Boy Reviews on A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS holiday novella by Joe Cosentino from Dreamspinner Press. Read the full review and juicy interview. Enjoy!

Joe Cosentino | 383 comments Happy release day to me for A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Check out today’s rave reviews and juicy interviews on why I wrote this holiday short novella taking place in gorgeous Capri, Italy!
“I’m going to go on record saying that Joe Cosentino pretty much has me at hello. His writing style is incredibly smooth with beautiful details that never feel like too much or too little. Even in this very short story, I felt like I was right there in Capri with Bobby. Both the scenery and Bobby’s emotions are painted with lush, vivid detail.” “exceptional writing and beautifully gift-wrapped love story.” AM Leibowitz
“The setting was marvelous as well, who wouldn't fall in love in a place like Joe Cosentino described? And the boys' interaction with the rest of the family was quite marvelous as well. A really enjoyable, fast read!” Bayou Book Junkie
“sweet story of connecting with distant family and perhaps finding the ‘home’ you’ve been searching for.” 3 Chicks After Dark

Joe Cosentino | 383 comments What a beautiful, heartfelt, and well-written review for A Home for the Holidays (now at 25% off at Dreamspinner Press) from Diane Nelson​ at GGR-Review​! “A Home for the Holidays a delightful, heartwarming journey of discovering one’s roots and the traditions that bring meaning to family. At the same time, it explores how breaking with tradition and becoming the person you were meant to be is also part of that grounding process, that finding home and making it your own is exactly what this holiday season is about. Filled with gentle humor and the lush backdrop of the isle of Capri, the story takes you on a wonderful guided tour of this landscape of the heart and the mind. The descriptions are a feast for the mind’s eye, the supporting characters quintessentially Italian, and the main characters—Bobby and Paolo—are the kind of yin and yang match that captures the imagination and the heart. For a charming seasonal read, A Home for the Holidays will leave you sighing with happiness.” http://ggr-review.com/book-review-a-h...

Joe Cosentino | 383 comments Happy holidays! My hit holiday short novella, A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, just released as an audiobook performed by the brilliant Joel Leslie. Can’t afford a trip to the gorgeous and romantic island of Capri, Italy? Listen to this story and enjoy the sounds, scents, views, and tastes of that wonderful island. Joel does an amazing job bringing this endearing characters to life. I laughed and cried, and I wrote it. Here’s what GGR Reviews said: “A Home for the Holidays a delightful, heartwarming journey of discovering one’s roots and the traditions that bring meaning to family. At the same time, it explores how breaking with tradition and becoming the person you were meant to be is also part of that grounding process, that finding home and making it your own is exactly what this holiday season is about.

Joe Cosentino | 383 comments “a tropical treat set in Capri…watching Bobby learn to relax and enjoy in the beauty that is Italy was a lovely thing, particularly since the book is narrated by Joel Leslie, who could read a tax return and make it sound evocative and dreamy….short and sweet, with likeable characters and some amazing moms.” Thank you Hearts on Fire Reviews for the glowing review of my A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS audiobook performed by the captivating Joel Leslie and published by Dreamspinner Press! http://goo.gl/AbhMbh

Joe Cosentino | 383 comments “I don’t know what I enjoyed more in this story: the author’s sense of humor or Joel Leslie’s delivery of it….this holiday story is packed full of goodness….had me laughing out loud within a few minutes of starting this story. So buyer beware: don’t listen to this in any “quiet” space, such as a library. You’ll be kicked out, for sure….And I was tearful at the ending but suddenly surprised at the last minute by the author’s gift: a highly possible HEA.” Thank you Barb of Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words for the terrific revue of my holiday short story A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS now also an audiobook released by Dreamspinner Press! https://scatteredthoughtsandrogueword...

Joe Cosentino | 383 comments Thank you Shee from Boy Meets Boy Reviews for the wonderful review of the A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS audiobook performed by the award-winning Joel Leslie: “The characterization is nicely done, the descriptions of the beautiful island had me feeling like I was there with the two lovely men. The dialogue is well written, engaging and is frequently funny. I liked Bobby from the outset, and Paolo quickly grew on me. Their chemistry is hot and the friendship that develops is lovely….The narration is very good, great characterization and a beautiful Italian accent I really enjoyed listening to….I’d highly recommend this sweet little Christmas tale of love and beauty.” Dreamspinner Press https://boymeetsboyreviews.blogspot.c... BTW, the sequel releases next December!

Joe Cosentino | 383 comments “If you like Josh Lanyon, you'll love this book. Sexy male characters, quirky families, a bit of mystery, a bit of love, all spun together with a talented pen. A Home for the Holidays is a fantastically crafted story that I will read, and listen to time and time again!” It is always an honor when an author whose work I read and admire reviews one of my books on Goodreads. Thank you talented Stephanie Lake for the 5-star review of the audiobook of my novella, A Home for the Holidays, the first Bobby Paolo Holiday Story, performed by Joel Leslie and published by Dreamspinner Press! And watch out for The Perfect Gift, the second Bobby and Paolo Holiday Story, releasing as an e-book on December 1!
