Ct’s Meow ~~Holiday special~~ A Home for the Holidays by Joe Cosentino


I’ve been under the weather and just haven’t been able to come up with my Ro-Manic Mondays posts and do my NaNo. I received this review request in my email and thought why not. Then it hit me. Why not do a holiday special. I could use some awesome holiday reads and let you all know how they are. Everyone benefits. I get some awesome reads from MM sweet romance, sweet contemporary hot cowboys and a different spin on a MM Saint Nicholas story. I post the reviews and  you guys may find a few great books  for the holiday season as well. I am kicking  the special off with a sweet MM holiday short story.

Bobby McGrath’s Christmas trip to the beautiful Italian Island of Capri to meet his eccentric, extended family offers stunning views—none more stunning than his third cousin, Paolo Mascobello, a real stocking stuffer. As the two young men embark on a relationship, Bobby, a driven law student, learns to relax and bask under the old Italian moon, and Paolo realizes there’s more to life than a frolic on the beach. For the two to find everlasting amore, Paulo must overcome his fear of commitment and learn to follow his dreams, and Bobby must get his wish for happily ever after. “Reading this little holiday treat is like taking a romantic trip to gorgeous Capri, Italy!”

MY REVIEW

5 meows 1 purrr (low heat)

If you love gay romance and want something short and sweet this will satisfy that sweet tooth craving. Once again Joe has written  a lovely story of two young men exploring love and a beautiful island. I felt like I was on tour with Paolo and Bobby. I could see the lovely sites as Joe described them with such beauty and prose. I could feel the growing desire between the two young men and the heat building as well.

Another thing I like about Joe Cosentino’s stories is that they are sexy though most of the sex is off the page. It leaves a beautiful dynamic to the romance.

Why should you buy this book? It’s a beautiful short story that could fill an hour or two’s time. There is beauty, passion and heat with a touch of humor. There was a time or two I was afraid this may be a bittersweet romance, but it had a happy ending.

If you like beautiful sites,  want a virtual tour of Capri, Like law students, sexy Italian studs, a sweet romance with little on page sex but is  still sensual and hot. This is for you!
