Praise for COZZI COVE: BOUNCING BACK:
“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
“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
"Cozzi Cove: Bouncing Back is the very finest in literary fiction with a romance theme, yet it's more than just that--it's about human connections and empathy and finding a way out of the fear and inertia faced by so many. It's also about courage and strength, about respect and coming to terms with all that life has to offer, and it's about letting go. I loved this book and look forward to the next in the series. This is a highly recommended read, well-deserving of Five Stars." --GGR Reviews

Praise for COZZI COVE: STEPPING OUT, the third book in the Cozzi Cove series:
“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’s 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.” --Divine Magazine
“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” --Gay Book Reviews
“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.” --Urban Book Reviews

Praise for COZZI COVE: NEW BEGINNINGS, the fourth book in the Cozzi Cove series:
“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
“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.” --Divine Magazine
“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

Praise for COZZI COVE: HAPPY ENDINGS, the fifth book in the Cozzi Cove series:
“Cozzi Cove is like that family holiday you took every year, as a kid. You know the staff and they know you; you know you're going to meet great new people as well as other regulars; and you know you're going to have a great time. You'll laugh, you'll happy-cry, you'll sad-cry, and then it will all be over for another year and you won't want to go home again…The writing, as always, was utter perfection.” --Divine Magazine
“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
“Cozzi Cove: Happy Endings is about family, love, and friendships that last a long time. The depth of emotion that Joe Cosentino sparks from his characters was the best part. I loved it all. Funny, charming, and well-written, this is one hot summer read for all.” --Urban Books Reviews
