Hi Lisa, A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS releases tomorrow/December 2! Yeah! As always, thanks for your support.

“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.

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

“If you like stories about opposites that may attract but have a hard time dealing with the reality of being so different, if a beautiful setting and some great Italian food sound like a nice background to a developing romance between two young men, and if you’re looking for a read that is fun, emotional, and all about finding your way in life, then you will probably like this novella.” Thank you Serena Yates and Rainbow Book Reviews!

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...

“I recommend A Home for the Holidays to anyone who loves travel adventures, Christmas themes, and m/m romance. I felt like I was actually there in Capri.” Thank you JJ from The Novel Approach for the great review of my holiday short novella A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, the perfect holiday read, now at 25% off on the Dreamspinner Press site. http://thenovelapproachreviews.com/20...

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!
