A Home for the Holidays

To start with the good things in this novel, I would like to mention that the romance in steaming and passionate. The problem is that the author only had a short novella to fit a novel's plot into. This book should have been stretched out over 150-200 pages, but as this was 50-some pages instead a lot of it was rushed. Having all the sights and attractions of Capri smashed into those few pages, along with a fast romance and character development angst was too much.

Sweet and a bit nerve racking. I love how well they fit together. Bobby does such a great job of encouraging Paola to go for his dreams.

Home For The Holidays is the first book in the Bobby and Paolo's Holiday Stories series by Joe Cosentino.

Bobby and Paolo meet on a beautiful island, when Bobby goes to spend Christmas with his Italian relatives.

Bobby is able to help Paolo, but he also needs to help himself. He's been playing it safe instead of reaching for his dreams.

This is a wonderful and charming story of taking chances, facing your fears and finding love. I enjoyed every moment of it.

Joe Cosentino once again combines consummate wit, fascinating characters, and heartfelt passion in this fast-moving, captivating short novella. We meet Bobby, and his over-the-top Italian-American family, who sends him to visit his cousins in Capri, Italy during his winter break from college. There, he meets a just-as-colorful Italian family and is smitten by his third cousin, Paolo. As we tour the beautiful Island of Capri, we also follow their blossoming relationship. Though the two are polar opposites, they each find something in the other that fills a void in themselves. This is a charming and beautifully written holiday story, that will warm your heart any time of the year.
