Cozzi Cove: Bouncing Back
Cozzi Cove: Moving Forward
Stepping Out
New Beginnings

Hi NineStar Press Group. I'm excited about the new group. And I'm even more excited about the release of my Cozzi Cove beach series: COZZI COVE: BOUNCING BACK (available now) and COZZI COVE: MOVING FORWARD (available for pre-order to release April 18). This series is so special to me. And the response has been amazing! The TBR Pile readers voted COZZI COVE: BOUNCING BACK their favorite book of the month (March). Check out the 5 Star review quotes below, full review links, and interview links with me and my characters. So get your suntan lotion and Speedos and head over to the sun, sand, and sea at Cal Cozzi's place on Cozzi Cove. And let me know what you think at http://www.JoeCosentino.weebly.com. See you at the cove!

“I loved this story. It carries you through the full range of emotions, from joy to sadness, from happiness to anger. The characters are beautifully written.” “I look forward to a return visit to the Cove.” TBR Pile

“Heartbreaking and heartwarming, sweet beginnings for some, sour endings for others, emotions jumping off the page as you turn eagerly to read more, welcome to Cozzi Cove. The author measured his scales to perfection in delivering the perfect balance of love, laughter and tears in this sexy, fun filled holiday romance entwined with some sadness. Summer magic waved it's wand at all who visited and stayed at Cozzi Cove and I was one of those who wanted to stay.” Three Books Over the Rainbow

“poignant and full of beautiful imagery. It's one crazy mix of characters, all weird and wonderful in their own way” “It made me laugh out loud, cry and want to snuggle up with someone I loved. I couldn't have asked for more.” Divine Magazine

“In true Joe Cosentino style, this book is packed full of drama! This cast of characters will have you laughing out loud one minute before ripping your heart out the next.” Joyfully Jay

“If you like a lot of angst, some humor, love, sadness (be sure to have a couple of boxes of tissue handy), and some hot sensual man-sex, I highly, highly recommend this book. I loved all of the Joe Cosentino’s books, but I think this is my favorite to date! I am ready for book 2!” Cathy Brockman Romance

Every page of this new title brings readers nothing but excitement, intrigue, and an intensity that will burn away the night's quiet.

As with all of Joe Cosentino's novels, humor comes in abundance and fits in perfectly with all of this stunning characters.” “Joe sweeps his readers into his characters’ lives by creating realistic characters with real issues. It's easy to get lost in it all. The book automatically captures your heart from page one and forever holds it. After reading the story, readers will be begging for the next grand adventure.

I loved reading this riveting tale, and I highly recommend it to readers everywhere.” Thank you Danielle Urban of Universal Creativity, Inc. for the 5-star review of COZZI COVE: MOVING FORWARD, the second book in the Cozzi Cove series. https://universalcreativityinc14.word...

I’m thrilled to share my four 5-star release day reviews for COZZI COVE: STEPPING OUT (book 3 in my Cozzi Cove series) published by NineStar Press. Happy release day to me!

“But it’s not just about the Cozzi’s and the webs they weave, it’s also about the guests that check-in and check-out. But they never check out of our hearts. We as readers, remember every one of them – they are the real beauty of Cozzi Cove together with this author’s amazing talent – he makes these OTT characters stay with us, his characterization is just phenomenal and therefore great fun to read, I never chuckle as much as I do as when I’m reading a Cosentino.” Thank you Lorraine Lesar of Three Books Over the Rainbow for the terrific five-star review of the third Cozzi Cove novel (NineStar Press)! http://goo.gl/egrPNP

“With love, romance and the big reveal of so many secrets, COZZI COVE: STEPPING OUT is perhaps the most important novel in the series so far. With so many of the recurring characters getting a huge chunk of the storytelling time, I couldn't have asked for a better exploration of the Cozzi family and their chaotic summers at Cozzi Cove. Thanks to the perfect ending, I really hadn't expected there to be more...but, YES! There is an excerpt at the end for the next book. And I couldn't be more thrilled!” Thank you Elaine White of Divine Magazine for the wonderful five-star review of the third Cozzi Cove novel (NineStar Press)! https://divinemagazine.biz/release-da...

“The surprise of the whole book though is Tommy finally finding who he has been looking for, and the story behind the love found and lost and then found again definitely blew me away….a great read” Thank you Natosha of Gay Book Reviews for your great five-star review of COZZI COVE: STEPPING OUT, the third Cozzi Cove novel (NineStar Press)! Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings (book 4) releases on March 27!
http://gaybook.reviews/2017/01/22/coz...

“Spending a week in the sun with the permanent and transitory residents of Cozzi Cove makes for a superb, unputdownable, read. There are laugh out loud moments, lots of chuckles, some very heartwarming as well as heart wrenching moments, lots of gorgeous men and women, love, lust and even some tears. Joe Cosentino has a brilliantly unique sense of humour, and a masterful way of writing stories containing farce, larger than life men and women, and often over the top characters you’ll fall in love with. For all that his characters come across as completely relatable and realistic. His books are one of a kind and utterly addictive. I have yet to read a Joe Cosentino book that was less than 5 stars, and this book is no exception. Do yourself a favour and grab this book with both hands. I guarantee you’ll be very glad you did.” Thank you Janice Birnie of Divine Magazine for the lovely 5-star review of COZZI COVE: STEPPING OUT (Cozzi Cove book 3)!
https://divinemagazine.biz/cozzi-cove...

“Tons of action, drama, love, and secrets to keep readers hooked….beautifully written and highly engaging….Humor, mystery, and romance…Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out is indeed a must read for all. I highly recommend it.” Thank you Urban Book Reviews for the five-star review of Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out, the third novel in my popular Cozzi Cove series published by NineStar Press! https://urbanbookreviewsrus.wordpress... http://myBook.to/Cozzi_Cove_SO

Thank you OptimuMM Book Reviews for the five-star review of Cozzi Cove: Moving Forward, book 2 in my popular Cozzi Cove series published by NineStar Press: “As with book one, book two contains an interwoven set of awesome, emotional and often funny tales about the guests and residents of Cozzi Cove. All the characters need the magic that Cozzi Cove weaves around people’s lives and its healing touch, but will they all get what they need? By the time the guests are ready to check out at the end of the week, everything will have changed for them and for some of the residents too. As with book one, I became deeply immersed in these stories and didn’t want the book to end so thank goodness there’s a book three! http://goo.gl/y0M2TC I’m looking forward to your upcoming review of book 3 Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out!

Big thank you to Sue of Books Laid Bare Boys for her 5-star reviews of the three books so far in my popular Cozzi Cove series—COZZI COVE: BOUNCING BACK, COZZI COVE: MOVING FORWARD, and COZZI COVE: STEPPING OUT, published by NineStar Press!
“Another brilliantly written book by this author. He makes you want to take your own vacation in Cozzi Cove. You could feel all the emotion and love flowing from the pages.” Books Laid Bare Boys
http://goo.gl/JEqAdV

“Loved, loved, loved it! The Cozzi Cove stories have a great mix of drama, angst, romance, and sex. There is something for everyone.” Thank you Cathy Brockman of TTC Books and More for the lovely review of book 3 in my popular Cozzi Cove series! http://goo.gl/PKFyKg

Thank you Optimumm for the rave review of Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out, book three in my popular Cozzi Cove series: “The stories of Cal and Michael, George and Aaron, and Taylor and Carla are brilliant and are cleverly described alongside those of the guests. I loved this book, and the wonderful feel good factor it evoked. For me, it’s the best of the series so far. The characters are, again, perfect for the stories that unwind slowly and are then wound up again into ideal conclusions. The ending ties up all the residents and guests’ stories but leaves enough open for more. Cozzi Cove, where dreams really do come true.” /optimummblog.wordpress.com/2017/01/26...

I’m thrilled to report that Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings, the fourth novel in my popular Cozzi Cove series published by NineStar Press, is getting amazing reviewer and reader response! Here are some 5-star review quotes:
“Joe Cosentino gets full kudos for giving every character their own specialness that made such entertaining and somewhat gut-busting reading, so remember the hankies when reading to mop up the tears of laughter, as they come in quick succession….I’ll always check in with Joe Cosentino, he is the “thinking author” of sexy fun, memorable characters and creativity, where hope can become reality.”
Three Books Over the Rainbow
http://goo.gl/5v6cQH

“No one writes like Joe Cosentino, and no book of his is less than a five-star journey into farce, laughter and fabulously original characters and HEA's. Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings, like all of this author's body of work is surprising, beautifully written and giggle-snort wonderful. Highly recommended.”
Janice Birnie, Divine Magazine
http://goo.gl/NGjngK

“There's something for everyone at Cozzi Cove….At Cozzi Cove, there's fun, sun, sand, laughter and love. All you have to do is book your bungalow to find it.”
Elaine White, Divine Magazine
http://goo.gl/Xxvmoa

“I thoroughly enjoyed this outing to Cozzi Cove, as I have the previous ones. If you want characters that win your heart and make you laugh and cry and endings that leave you feeling really satisfied, then these books are definitely for you.”
OptimuMM Book Reviews
http://goo.gl/Rb7r6B

“Once you start reading, you won't want to quit. Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings is a very heartfelt story. Joe Cosentino writes such heartfelt characters with sweet, sometimes angsty, always hot, storylines….If you are looking for a hot, steamy book, with interesting characters, charm, humor, even a vampire, and some hot man-sex you will love this book.”
Cat of TTC Reviews
http://www.ttcbooksandmore.com/2017/0...

“I love this series, every book brings us new residents, exciting stories and this time a new generation of the Cozzi line is born.”
Sue of Books Laid Bare Boys
http://m.books-laid-bare-boys.com/lat...

“if you want a summer themed read to take a nasty taste from your mouth, go to Cosentino's romance amusement park, and let him spin you some sugar with Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings.”
Kimmer’s Erotic Book Banter
http://kimmerseroticbookb.wixsite.com...

“It is funny to see what guests Mr. Cosentino can conjour up – and fascinating to watch them in the context of the Cozzi family dramas happening in bungalow one. This group has a very interesting mix – and now that Connor has found true love, we have a new houseboy too….This is a soap opera like series, which it is impossible not to enjoy.”
Wicked Reads
http://myBook.to/CozziCoveNB

Thank you Christopher Verleger of Edge Media Network for the terrific review of Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings, the fourth Cozzi Cove novel, published by NineStar Press!
“There is plenty to feast upon within each sudsy storyline, including intrigue, deception, desire, romance, and sex….As the pages turn quickly and events unfold, the ensuing antics are irresistibly entertaining, but more importantly the characters are likeable and deserve our genuine interest and concern as some of their relationships are put to the test. "(Cozzi Cove:) New Beginnings" is clearly just that -- the beginning -- for Cal and Michael, and this highly engaging, enjoyable novel examines both their past and present history as proof that they were destined to be together.” http://goo.gl/EisJ4T

“The writer has a flare for creating the juiciest plots, unexpected twists, and a romance that sizzles with passion. The heat is amazing…I have read many gay fictional pieces, but none of them have as much life to them as Joe Cosentino’s Cozzi Cove Series and Nicky and Noah Series. It’s like Joe pours his whole heart, soul, and mind into each character, scene, and plot. I feel an array of emotions from the pages that hit me hard and good….Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings is a definite must read. I know without a doubt that readers worldwide will fall in love with this book as much as I have. Overall, I highly recommend it.” Thank you Urban Book Reviews for the 5-star review of Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings, the fourth Cozzi Cove novel, published by NineStar Press! http://wp.me/p4n3Np-5FS

“Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out is funny and clever but also very emotional as the characters deal with their respective issues. Cosentino has a great series here. It is well written, sexy and entertaining. Thanks for letting me visit for another week in Cozzi Cove." Thank you Becky of Jo & Isa Reviews for your lovely review of the third Cozzi Cove novel! http://goo.gl/spEVbZ

“Cosentino never fails me. Picking up this book, even though it’s been nearly a year since I’ve read them last, was like coming home for Christmas. Everything just clicked….This entire series is a big rollercoaster and Stepping Out in particular unveiled a lot of secrets. If you’re a fan of the series and liked the other two books, I would highly recommend this one. In my opinion, it’s probably the best of the series so far.” Thank you Jordan of Alpha Book Club for the rave review of Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out,” the third Cozzi Cove novel, published by NineStar Press.

OptimuMM Book Reviews

“I adore this series so much. I adore it partly because of the setting, the writing, the romance, but also because each one of the guests at Cozzi Cove has a story beyond their face value….There is so much packed into this book's short 174 pages and I loved every single one of them!” Thank you Jordan of Alpha Book Club Reviews for the rave review of Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings, the fourth Cozzi Cove novel (NineStar Press)! https://alphabookclub.org/2017/08/22/...

“In the hands of Chase Johnson's narration, Cozzi Cove: Bouncing Back was a unique and wonderful listening experience that I highly recommend…There were many times I had to tap pause whilst listening to this story; often because I was giggle-snorting at Joe’s wit, double entendres, and absurdist humour. At other times I was moved to tears by the journey of characters I’d come to love…As the occupants arrive, and book into the bungalows, we meet a delightfully varied group of vacationers. Some are looking to make changes in their lives, some are looking for love, some for lust. There are beginnings and endings, love and loss, laughter and tears, coming over the course of the week, and no one, not even Cal, will be the same again… With the help of superb narration and voice characterization you become totally absorbed and just let the magic take you away.” Thank you Janice Birnie of DIVINE Magazine for the 5-star review of the Cozzi Cove: Bouncing Back audio book, published by NineStar Press! (TBR Pile Favorite Book of the Month, Rainbow Award Honorable Mention). https://www.divinemagazine.biz/audiob...

“I loved all the different voices for each character and the emotion he (Chase Johnson) brings forth…each storyline is fabulous. I sat on the edge of my chair wondering who was going to fall for who and if it was all going to be happy endings. If you like a lot of angst, some humor, love, sadness, (be sure to have a couple of boxes of tissue handy), and some hot sensual man-sex, I highly, highly recommend this book. I loved all of Joe Cosentino's books, but I think this is my favorite to date! I am ready for book 2!” Thank you Cat from TTC Books and More for your five-star review of the audio book of the first Cozzi Cove novel, Cozzi Cove: Bouncing Back, performed by Chase Johnson, and published by NineStar Press!

“Heartbreaking and heartwarming, sweet beginnings for some, sour endings for others, emotions jumping off the page as you turn eagerly to read more, welcome to Cozzi Cove. The author measured his scales to perfection in delivering the perfect balance of love, laughter and tears in this sexy, fun-filled holiday romance entwined with some sadness. Summer magic waved its wand at all who visited and stayed at Cozzi Cove, and I was one of those who wanted to stay.” Three Books Over the Rainbow

A+ review from Top to BOTM Podcast for Cozzi Cove: Bouncing Back (e-book, paperback, and audiobook), the first Cozzi Cove novel, published by NineStar Press. I'm tickled by the positive comments about the humor, deep characters, and plot twists and turns. There's more to come in the already published next three novels in the series. BTW, the fifth novel, Cozzi Cove: Happy Endings, releases in August!

Check out my Cozzi Cove series!

“There is plenty to feast upon within each sudsy storyline, including intrigue, deception, desire, romance, and sex….As the pages turn quickly and events unfold, the ensuing antics are irresistibly entertaining, but more importantly the characters are likeable and deserve our genuine interest and concern as some of their relationships are put to the test. Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings is clearly just that -- the beginning -- for Cal and Michael, and this highly engaging, enjoyable novel examines both their past and present history as proof that they were destined to be together.” Edge Media Network

“I have loved every single word written in this series, every character, every couple and each and every story that goes with them. From the very first book I knew this was going to be a place I would fall in love with and the world that the author has created is just wonderful…The stories are all imaginative and unlike some longer series, it never gets repetitive, there is a new twist for every character. Well written, well thought out.” Books Laid Bare Boys

“Joe Cosentino’s wit, humour, and extraordinary imagination make each Cozzi Cove novel a joy to read. His descriptive writing of even the most simple situations will make you smile in delight, giggle snort and sometimes laugh out loud…Every character is multilayered, fascinating and perfectly integrated into the plot line…I adore this series and can’t recommend this book highly enough.
