Rave Review for Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings, the fourth Cozzi Cove novel, published by NineStar Press
“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/...

Great Article
Don't miss my article on tran characters in four of my novels (Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out, Drama Queen, Drama Muscle, Drama Cruise). Kudos to Rainbow Gold Reviews for taking a stand against transphobia. https://rainbowgoldreviews.wordpress....

“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
Finally, the audiobook of Drama Cruise, the third Nicky and Noah comedy mystery, performed by Brad Enright, just released. I laughed out loud often when hearing it, and the ending surprised me—and I wrote it!
https://www.amazon.com/Drama-Cruise-N...
“I have been an avid reader of Joe Cosentino’s books for some time and he has yet to let me down. His ability to write highly original, yet somehow realistic, characters is one of his greatest strengths as a writer. Their quirks and personalities fill the pages in a way that makes for a fabulously entertaining and totally engrossing read. I loved this book and highly recommend it to lovers of farce, humour, murder mystery and sweet MM love stories.” Divine Magazine
I’m really excited about my upcoming releases too! They are the e-book and paperback of Drama Detective, the fifth Nicky and Noah comedy mystery (10/28/17); the audiobook of Porcelain Doll, the second Jana Lane mystery, performed by Derick Snow, published by The Wild Rose Press (11/17); the e-book of the second Bobby and Paolo Holiday Story: The Perfect Gift, published by Dreamspinner Press (12/1/17); the audiobook of In My Heart/An Infatuation & A Shooting Star, performed by Joel Leslie, produced by Dreamspinner Press (TBA); and the e-book and paperback of Cozzi Cove: Happy Endings, the fifth Cozzi Cove novel, published by NineStar Press (TBA).
Happy reading, listening, detecting, laughing, and loving. Hugs!

New audiobook release: Drama Cruise, the third Nicky and Noah mystery!
I'm really excited to report that the audiobook version of Drama Cruise, the third Nicky and Noah comedy mystery, by me and performed by Brad Enright released today! Here's the info:

I loved this book and highly recommend it to lovers of farce, humour, murder mystery and sweet MM love stories.” Divine Magazine
“Superb fun from start to finish, for me this series gets stronger with every book and that’s saying something because the benchmark was set so very high with book 1.” Three Books Over the Rainbow
“Joe Cosentino does it again with Drama Cruise, the third Nicky and Noah mystery. I loved the humor, drama, and theater work inside. Plus, the romance and murder investigation keep readers turning the pages. Absolutely, must read this latest book in the series.” Urban Book Reviews
“If you are looking for a good, funny book to shake the blahs, love mystery, humor and romance, and a story with a twist or two, you’re bound to love this.” Cathy Brockman Romances
“The characters are charming and entertaining….had me in stitches….This is the delightful third episode in the Nicky and Noah Mystery series. It is a fun-filled and entertaining murder mystery for LGBT cozy mystery fans.” Readers’ Favorite
“Each (Nicky and Noah mystery) is a wonderful mixture of sex, comedy, romance and murder, but when Cosentino took it to an Alaska cruise and the high seas, well, it tossed it up into theatrically delicious magic….I loved this story. I love this couple. What on earth is going to happen to them next? I can’t wait to find out.” Scattered Thoughts and Rogue Words
“The Nicky and Noah Mysteries series are perfect for fans of the Cozy Mystery sub-genre. They mix tongue-in-cheek humor, over-the-top characters, a wee bit of political commentary, and suspense into a sweet little mystery solved by Nicky and Noah, theatre professors for whom all the world’s a stage.” Prism Book Alliance
“As this highly entertaining story rolls on, I find myself laughing and getting into the who- done-it craze. This is a great book, it made me feel happy just reading it. The main characters are almost perfect, which just makes things better.” Crystal’s Many Reviewers
“fast-paced, action-packed story….fabulous cast of characters….if you love a murder mystery then this book is for you.” Books Laid Bare Boys
“The humor is laugh-out-loud, he didn’t just say that, funny. The scenes of affection occur mostly off-stage, behind closed doors, yet remain joyfully suggestive and highly sensual. Every character gets his due and the ending will have you sniffling with happiness.” Diane Nelson, Sand in My Shoes Reviews
Bestselling author Joe Cosentino was voted Favorite LGBT Mystery, Humorous, and Contemporary Author of the Year by the readers of Divine Magazine for Drama Queen. He also wrote the other novels in the Nicky and Noah mystery series: Drama Muscle, Drama Cruise (Lethe Press), Drama Luau, Drama Detective, Drama Fraternity, Drama Castle; the Dreamspinner Press novellas: In My Heart/An Infatuation & A Shooting Star, A Home for the Holidays, The Perfect Gift, The Naked Prince and Other Tales from Fairyland, The Perfect Gift; the Cozzi Cove series: Cozzi Cove: Bouncing Back, Cozzi Cove: Moving Forward, Cozzi Cove: Stepping Out, Cozzi Cove: New Beginnings (NineStar Press); and the Jana Lane mysteries: Paper Doll, Porcelain Doll, Satin Doll, China Doll, Rag Doll (The Wild Rose Press).
