As the two young men embark on a relationship, Bobby, a driven law student, learns to relax and bask under the 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.

A fun holiday romance
Review by Shee Reader for Boy Meets Boy Reviews
Rating 4 Hearts
Our story opens with Bobby McGrath having a hilarious conversation with his mother on the telephone. Bobby, a law student, is about to embark on a trip to meet his Italian relatives for Christmas.
He arrives after a long trip on the island of Capri, to see the amazing villa and the extended family surrounded by amazing views, none more gorgeous than Bobby’s cousin Paolo Mascobello. Paolo is charged with acting the tour guide to the visiting American and a relationship develops quickly.
Paolo is a man with hidden depths and Bobby is soon entranced, and gifts Paolo with his virginity.
The characterisation is nicely done, the descriptions of the beautiful island had me feeling like I was there with the two lovely men. The dialogue is well written, engaging and is frequently funny. I liked Bobby from the outset, and Paolo quickly grew on me. Their chemistry is hot and the friendship that develops is lovely. Bobby sees something in Paolo that his family sneers at - his talent, and it’s just the thing Bobby needs to try to persuade Paolo to come home with him.
The Narration is very good, great characterisation and a beautiful italian accent I really enjoyed listening to. That said, it was a little scary that Joel Lesley’s “Bobby’s mom” voice sounded scarily like my jewish auntie from Philly!
The ending is sweet, and a little surprising. My favourite bit being Bobby suspecting the mother’s cooked up the whole thing to get the two men to meet!
I’d highly recommend this sweet little Christmas tale of love and beauty.

Warm and sexy holiday treat
This was a short and sweet Christmas romance made all the more enjoyable by the description of Capri. The way Joe has written the romance and Joel's narration is so well done you can close your eyes and picture it all. Bobby and Paulo's romance is sweet but not too much and leaves you with a positive feeling for their future.
Joel Leslie's narration is perfect. He brings out the emotions in the narrative so well that it enhances the story, especially with his sexy Paulo voice. Not to mention his skill bringing secondary characters to the front, overall made it perfect to listen to.
Great to listen to any time of year. I recommend treating yourself to this story.
