About Just a Kiss:

I’ve never seen her before in my life.

There I was, minding my own business at the hotel bar,
when she walked up and asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend.

She’d introduce me to her overbearing parents. I’d fawn over her for a few minutes, plant a goodbye kiss on her cheek, and walk away with an extra twenty dollars in my pocket. Seemed simple enough.
But she had no idea the random guy she tapped on the shoulder was one of the wealthiest men on the planet.

I’m a man who gets what he wants and I made up my mind the second I saw those curves.

It was supposed to be just a kiss.
Now I want more. And I won’t stop until she’s mine.

Check-in and get comfortable for five steamy stories you don't want to miss! Each story is a stand-alone with a different couple, complete with happy ever afters! Includes Just a Touch, Just a Kiss, Just a Fling, Just a Crush, and Just a King.

Botsford men and their love stories are irresistible!

These five stories encapsulate the four sons and their father. Full of feels, humor, passion, did I say passion?

You will fall in love with Kingston, Graham, Hayden, Ira, and Jonah. And their ladies will win your heart as well.

Makes me wish the Kissiverse were real!!


Just a Touch (#1)

I devoured this book in less than 3 hours! It sucked me in completely.

I love this newest addition to the Kissiverse! Graham is a Botsford. (Name might ring a bell if you've read the Snake Eyes series.)

We start on a hot, wet monsoon storm day in fabulous Las Vegas, Graham walks into the family hotel to see his ex-wife at the desk arguing with the clerk because apparently her room reservation was screwed up.

Jennifer is there for her baby sis's wedding. She hoped to avoid her ex. Even did research so she could.

Little did either of them expect to see the other, but oh boy, aren't we glad they did!

Hot, steamy, second chance love story.

Throw in some sexy, not always helpful brothers, some family history, fathers giving fatherly advice, sister time, a not altogether welcome former best friend...and you have the makings of a fabulous excursion into a new part of the Kissiverse. And Graham is delicious!!!

Just a Kiss (#2)

Sometimes a game of Marco Polo can lead to so much more!

Those Botsford boys...umm, men...soo yummy!

Hayden loves the ladies. He doesn't do the commitment thing. But a chance encounter with a hot hotel guest while he's staying there recovering from an injury leads to way more than he expected or even realized he wanted.

And Penelope certainly didn't think she'd wind up meeting the man of her dreams when she propositioned the scruffy hot guy in the bar to pretend to be her boyfriend to get her parents off her back at her family's annual visit to Vegas for their reunion.

A hot, fast, wholly satisfying read!!

Just a Fling (#3)

Ira was every bit as delicious as expected!

Ira has a yearly visitor that the staff has nicknamed 'Towel Girl'. Her actual name is Veronica. Ira is happily getting ready for her annual visit when she knocks on his door and surprises him with more than her sexy self.

Veronica has a bit of news for Ira. She is moving to Vegas and...she & Ira have a daughter.

Watching Ira adjust to this news...
1.) Because he's the over protective security minded Botsford brother
and
2.) Because he realizes, with Hayden's help, that he's about to give their mother the best birthday present this year.

Veronica has a secret...but she also realizes that her daughter now has family, something Veronica doesn't have.

I loved Ira's story. Jonas is really gonna have to step up his game to top Ira. ;-)

Steamy, sweet, funny, connections to the rest of the Kissiverse, Tabatha delivers another fantastic story in this world!

Just a Crush (#4)

Jonah steals the spotlight from his brothers!!

I FLOVE THIS BOOK!!! I've loved all the Botsford boys but Jonah just stole the crown!

He's sweet. Surprisingly conscientious for a rock star. And sexy!! Oh, and very single minded, but that is what we love about the men in the Kissiverse.

Marla is innocent, but worldly. She's strong, determined, and fantastic!

I'm sad to read the last brother's book, but I loved every minute of it!!

And is Tabatha hinting at a Criminal Records series, because I am totally down with that!! Give me more rock stars!! And I just adore the Botsford world. Mama Botsford is wonderful!!

Just a King (#5)

What happens in Vegas, happens at Botsford Plaza!! Love, Love, Loved!!

I love the Kissiverse. Every book expands the world.

And Kingston & Fiona? OMG!! Mom & Dad Botsford are a combination of all the boys or would that be the boys are a mix of them?

I love coming back to Vegas and the Botsford Hotel. Home. It feels like home. This book even more than the others.

How Kingston found & won his Queen? Fantabulous! The passion, drama, humor, family, friends, and LOVE in this story fills me with happy!!

Fiona is feisty, smart, passionate, independent, and amazing (you knew she would be as we read her sons' stories). And Kingston? He's Graham, Ira, Hayden, & Jonah all rolled into one dreamy hunk!!

We get young love and seasoned, mature, still fiery love in one dynamite package!!

I can't wait to see where Tabatha takes us next!! Back to the past for some exploration of Stella & Matilda? To Chicago for Ian? Into the future with all the baby Botsfords? The various co-workers & friends? Whatever thread she follows, I will definitely be reading.

A box set with five amazing stories all worth 5 stars and some more, 5 Botsford men find the one they can’t be without. All stories with steam...oh my steam...and laughter, banter that is spot on and each book will have you wanting more.
A box set worth 10 +++++ stars altogether
Just a Touch - What a read about second chances between Graham and Jenny, two people who married very young and divorced very shortly after. Ten years has gone by and Graham still thinks about his Jenny, the only woman he has ever loved. Fate brings them together when Jenny’s sister decides to get married at the hotel in Vegas where it all started between them.
An amazing read with steamy oh my steamy scenes and some humour that had me chuckling out loud. I loved Graham, a man who will do anything for his first love, a man who will do anything to get her back, a man I would want in my corner. Jenny was a tough nut and at times was annoying to me, jumping to conclusions and being too stubborn for her own good but I loved how it all ended and how she finally, finally came to her senses so that both could have their HEA.
Just a Kiss - I am so so so enjoying these reads by this author about the Botsford brothers and this one about Hayden, is just as amazing. Hayden is a professional baseball player and a total playboy until he meets Penny, a woman who he just meets in a bar as she asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend.
An amazing read with steamy, sensual scenes, witty banter, a few out loud chuckling moments, a playboy man wh***, and an amazing woman. I loved this read even though Hayden’s man wh*** past did irritate me a bit but he redeems himself during the story, having me fall for him. I loved their interaction which flowed beautifully and the maturity of Penny, how she accepted Hayden, didn’t judge and didn’t react in hysterics as many other books would have had her do...loved it !
Just a Fling - An amazing instalment on the Botsford brothers this one featuring Ira, who after this read is now my favorite of the brothers but there is still one more to go. Ira, known as the gossip at the hotel and head of security gets a yearly visit from Veronica, who the hotel staff have dubbed Towel Girl.
I LOVED this read, the humour was spot on with the banter and was constant that had me laughing out loud throughout the read. The steam..oh my..the steam, the sparks and the ease of how well they got along....loved it. I also loved the no over the top drama between them which made the story flow beautifully and perfectly...loved it. I loved how Ira took to his part and acceptance of the situation w/o hesitation and melted my heart. I loved how easy going and honest Veronica was and didn’t beat around the bush. I loved the interaction with the brothers and how they teased and supported each other. I LOVED everything about this read and I can’t wait for the last brother and his story.
Just a Crush - This last Botsford brother, the youngest brother, Jonah, who’s a rock star finally...finally gets his story...and YES....it was worth the wait. Jonah is back from his last tour and stays at the hotel and runs into Marla, the front desk night employee, who has had a crush on him from the beginning of his career. He’s burnt out and his manager is wanting more songs from him, but he’s been drawing a blank...until he meets Marla...his muse.
This read blew me away and I’m still reeling how a story can be sweet and steamy at the same time. The author knocks it out of the park with their story, with the banter that is spot on, the humour that had me chuckling through most of the story and in some scenes laughing out loud, the sweetness that had me melting, the steam that had me reaching for an cold glass filled with ice to cool down, the descriptions and the flow of the story making me feel like I was right there, the characters making me wish I was in their inner circle and friends with all of them, and a story that left me with tears of joy and happiness at how it all ended. The ending and epilogue..oh my the ending and epilogue that brought all the Botsford’s and their partners togther for a finale that was perfection. KUDOS to the author for delivering a read that went beyond amazing and worth more than 10 ++++++ stars.
Just a King - We finally get the head of the Botsford family, Kingston and Fiona’s story...and what a story.
A great read to finally get the answers as to how this power couple who raised five boys into the men we have read about in the previous books, came together. A story not to be missed, with amazing characters, some drama with others, steam oh my steam, and a man who finds his Queen, the one he doesn’t want to let go, the one he would do anything to keep...and does.
I loved everything about this book and the ending with the epilogue....not to be missed as it wraps it all up perfectly and left me with a huge smile on my face.

Just a Touch (Heartthrob Hotel #1) - 3.75 stars

This is a second chance romance.

Graham and Jen were married as teenagers but somethings occurred and they haven’t seen each other for 10 years. Jen is back at Botsford Hotel for her little sister’s wedding when she encounters Graham and emotions arise. When Graham sees Jen again he can’t resist thinking about her and their past.

I loved Graham, he never gave up on Jen and he was so swoon-worthy. Jen did get on my nerves at times and was somewhat immature. I would have loved to have seen their relationship when they were younger or the fight that led to the big misunderstanding. I guess I wanted to know more about their history and more about Jen's friendship with Scarlett. I didn't really feel the connection as best friends between Scarlett and Jen, how do they go from besties to complete hatred without anyone acknowledging the change.


Just a Kiss (Heartthrob Hotel #1) - 4 stars

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by author)...

This is the second book in the Heartthrob Hotel series and focuses on the second oldest Hayden Botsford, the professional baseball player/manwhore ;)

If you read Just A Touch, you are fully aware of Hayden's extracurricular activities while he is healing from a knee injury and waiting to get back into baseball. I must say Hayden matured from the first time I met him and I adored him throughout the whole book. The way he meets Penny is both hilarious and cute, but it's his reaction to her once he has to leave her that was enduring. Now as for Penny, I loved her, she was so different from her uptight family and she really connected with Hayden right from the start. She didn't let the gossip of Hayden past activities interfere with their time together.

I know this sounds weird but my favorite scene between them is when they "break-up" at dinner if you read the book you will know what I'm talking about. Oh I must mention the majorly hot sexy times between them ;)

I can't wait to see what's waiting for the younger Botsford brothers: Ira and Jo.


Just a Fling (Heartthrob Hotel #3) - 3.75 stars

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the author)...

This is a quick and fast paced read.

Ira is the third brother of Botsford clan and the big gossip monger ;)

I really liked getting to know more about Ira but we don’t really get any of history except for small pieces that pertained to Veronica. I liked Veronica, but we also don’t get much background on her (friends, family, history never discussed). The book starts when Veronica comes back for their yearly fling and ends up giving Ira more than he could ever imagine.

And I’m not sure if the Randall story-line was necessary; it felt like it was an add-on to give the story more drama, but wasn’t given much attention.

I absolutely adored Derrick and Michelle; Veronica was very lucky in finding such an interesting employee.

This story was still enjoyable but I find I’m looking forward to Jonah’s story next.


Possible Spoiler:

To me, certain parts of the book did seem a little out there; for example, your yearly fling says your a dad and you automatically accept it as truth without getting confirmation when you don’t even know the woman’s last name and you come from a wealthy as well as well known family.


Just A Crush (Heartthrob Hotel #4) - 4 stars

KU*

I’m so sad this series is finished!!

But I absolutely loved Jonah’s story and Marla was so cute. There was never a dull or lagging moment and I didn’t want it to end. This book had super sweet moments mixed in with super hot moments which created a great read for me. There were time I wanted to shake Mara but I understood her actions, but luckily Jonah didn’t listen.

Perhaps there will be books on his bandmates?


Just a King (Heartthrob Hotel #5) - 4 stars

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the author)...

This is story of Kingston and Fiona Botsford, a prequel.

I adored this story! Getting to see how this wonderful couple actually came to be was absolutely lovely. Right from the beginning you could see the connection they had, but Fiona Garland was not going to fall for the Botsford charm so easily.

Kingston was totally swoon worthy and he was willing to do anything to his Fiona aka His Queen. We get to see Stella and Marla and what role they played in our couple’s romance.

I absolutely loved it; hated Roland and I wasn’t too please with Fiona’s father.

The epilogues were beautiful and hilarious especially the Marla and Jonah moment ;)

It was beautiful way to end this great series.

Purrfection, thy name is Botsford

This series is pure perfection in every way possible.
The characters are all swoon-worthy, the epitome of everything you hope to find in your partner.
The men are ambitious and driven, thoughtful and tender, respectful, romantic and passionate …
And the women, although they sometimes seem insecure and shy, vulnerable and even somehow broken at times, possess a hidden strength that lets them find their way ...

There is a genre for everyone: You will find a SECOND-CHANCE-romance, a FAKE-BOYFRIEND-romance, as well as a SURPRISE-BABY- and a FRIENDS-TO-LOVERS-romance … including all the feels from heartache to despair, from giggles to laughing fits ... and everything in between.


Here are the reviews for each individual book:


JUST A TOUCH

Just a Touch is a heart-tearing story about trust and distrust, about believing in a common future or denying this future, about taking a second chance in love and life or not taking it …

Jenny and Graham are throughout fantastic characters, warm, authenzic in their feelings and doubts, so utterly comprehensible …

The plot contains so many twists and turns, so many back and forth that I almost cried out loud in desperation and frustration at some point!

This is another amazing book by Tabatha Kiss who never disappoints with her novels!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST A KISS

A random encounter at the Botsford Plaza hotel bar leads to a sweet and funny story about Hayden and Penny.

It is an easy-going and light-hearted read but also includes some twists and turns to keep a certain level of tension.
The characters are lovable and charming from the very first second to the end …

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST A FLING

Veronica and Ira … their story is a fun read!
The one thing that made me laugh the most was the fact that Ira had to swallow a spoonful of his own medicine (or, to be more precise, several spoons) ... to experience what it feels like to be the center of attention and the topic of gossip … just priceless!

Veronica is a vulnerable and kind of broken yet very strong woman who met Ira while working as a nurse with the Peace Corps overseas.
Ira is the biggest gossip all over Las Vegas and a pain in the a** in his brothers’ lives. So he totally deserves to be on the receiving end when his brothers find out about his present for their mother’s birthday…

This is such a hilarious read that I could not rein in my giggles and laughter most of the time. Of course there are more serious, even thrilling parts in this fantastic romance, too, but most of the time it is an easily flowing funny novel that I highly recommend!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST A CRUSH

Jonah and Marla's story will keep you all warm and fuzzy and cosy. It is at the same time panty-melting hot and sweet, romantic and passionate with so awesome characters that nobody could possibly resist!
Jonah is thoughtful and tender, respectful and romantic ... quite contrary to his bad boy and man whore image. And Marla is shy and insecure, yet strong at the same time.
I truly fell in love with these heart-warming protagonists.
I loved all Botsford brothers and fell for them. But Jonah might be my new favorite because he is such a sweetheart!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JUST A KING

With this novel Ms. Kiss gave her readers the perfect conclusion to the epic Heartthrob Hotel Series. No wonder the Botsford sons Graham, Hayden, Ira and Jonah, are as perfect as they are. Their parents, Fiona and Kingston, are just as swoon-worthy as they are and a perfect fit for each other in every way possible.

I love their insta-attraction, their chemistry and their close connection.
I love their kindness, their ambitions, and their assertiveness towards their life goals.
I love how they fall for each other in the blink of an eye, their patiently waiting for their time to come, their passion … I LOVE EVERYTHING!

The one thing I hate is that this series has come to an end. Even though Ms. Kiss could always come back and write Ian’s story … or the stories of the next Botsford generation …

Just a Touch Review I really liked this book but would have liked more of Jennifer and Graham's history. In my opinion I think this book should have started with a prologue. I think the prologue should be the fight Jennifer and Graham had. That is just my opinion. I liked Graham he is smart, successful and just never gives up. Jennifer tends to be a little immature in my opinion. She really got on my nerves. In my opinion this story was a little predictable, yet with it being second chance romance, I was okay with it. I loved how in both cases how supportive the siblings were. I got the family loyalty on Graham's side. Jennifer's father was a little prickly yet I got how much he loved his daughters. In my opinion Tabatha Kiss did a good job of conveying the family love on both sides.

Just a Kiss Review This was book fell a little short for me, I think there an angle of making Dylan more creepy than he was. In my opinion Tabatha Kiss missed the mark with Dylan. This an instant love which are not my favorite, but this one was fun. It was fun seeing Hayden mature in a matter of 3 days. The one thing I appreciated the most was he was not over the top arrogant. Penny got on my nerves in that she would not speak up for herself. When she finally had enough and the dam broke, it was kind of humorous. This was instant attraction between Hayden and Penny yet they did not jump into bed immediately, I liked that. This story is not bad, it was fun and a quick read.

Just a Fling Review This is fun and flirty story. We get to here from all the brother Botsford's. The banter between them all is very funny, in my opinion. It's always good to hear from Graham, Hayden and Jonah. In my opinion I think Tabatha Kiss does a good job of writing the brothers, I can see brothers giving each other a hard time like they do. Ira and Veronica's relationship is comfortable yet they really don't know each other. I really enjoyed getting to know them. My only complaint is there was not enough suspense for my taste, but it was still a fun story. In my opinion Tabatha Kiss did not disappoint me, I just wanted more suspense. This is a fast read.

Just a Crush Review For me this story was pretty good but it was missing a little suspense. I really like when Tabatha Kiss keeps me on the edge of my seat wondering, this did not happen for me in this book. I really liked how sweet Jonah is, in my opinion he's not as pushy as his brothers. I loved how he stuck up for Marla and gave her space when needed. I liked that he offered to help on a couple of occasions yet wasn't pushy about it. I really loved Marla and how independent, loyal to her family and did everything she could to help her mom to the best of her abilities. In my opinion Jonah and Marla were perfect together. I found Just a Crush to be a pretty good conclusion to the Heartthrob Hotel Series.

Just a King Review I was a little leery of reading this book since I already read the Heartthrob Hotel Series. Since I knew the Botsford Boys I was having trouble with reading about their parents. You know how it is you know your parents have sex, but you really don't want to talk about it. Teehee!!!! It ended up I loved getting to know Fiona and Kingston. I felt their connection from the start. I had a love hate thing for Fiona. I loved how strong she is, her intelligence. I didn't like how she bowed down to her father. In the end Fiona came into to her own. Kingston is smart, strong and a hard worker. He know what he wants and works hard for it. Fiona and Kingston are the same in they want their father's acceptance. Once I got past my issues I loved Fiona's and Kingston's love story. If you can either read this as the first book in the Heartthrob Hotel Series or the end. If you read it as the first book, the epilogue gives some details away. If you read this as the conclusion to the Heartthrob Hotel Series it's a great conclusion to the series.

I read on Kindle Unlimited, in my opinion boxed set is a bargain and worth it.

Just a Kiss- Wow! I loved Graham and Jen's story. This is a fantastic second chance read. When Graham and Jen run into each other again, the sparks start to fly. Seeing each other again was the last thing either of them expected. They never really got over each other, and Graham is willing to play any game to win back Jen. This was such a great read that will have you swooning over not only Graham, but the other Botsford brothers as well. There is heat between Graham and Jen and it's not due to the weather.
Just a Touch- Hayden gets his own story and it is a great one. When he is home after being benched from his baseball season due to an injury he runs into Penelope. Penelope needs his help and Hayden is all too happy to do that. She asks him to be her fake boyfriend for the day, but it turns into the whole weekend. He starts thinking of Penelope more than any woman before. He starts thinking of stopping his playboy ways. This was a hot and sexy romance with some comedy from the brothers. Anytime there are at least two of then together, you can expect laughter and teasing. The chemistry between these two was hot, hot, hot and their had an instantaneous connection.
Just a Fling- These Botsford brothers are the best and I just love them. This is Ira and Veronica's story. Ira is the third brother and a retired Marine. If you've read the previous books, you will know that Ira's nickname is 'gossipy b*|€h". This time around he is the one being gossiped about.
Veronica is a nurse who met Ira overseas and they have been seeing each other every September for the past four years. She gets nicknamed the 'towel girl', due to the extra towels Ira asks for. This year she comes with a very big surprise. Ira takes the surprise very well and rises to the challenge. He is sweet and also very protective over who he cares about.
Just a Crush- OMG!! This was the book I was waiting for in this series. Tabatha saves the best brother for last. Jonah is the rock star and baby of the Botsford brothers. Marla is the night desk girl at the hotel in Vegas and has had a crush on Jonah forever. She loves his band and is his biggest fan. When Jonah goes to the lobby to try to write some songs, he see Marla being bullied and steps in to help her and they end up talking. After that encounter Jonah starts writing and realizes he has a muse. He asks Marla to help him write some songs and they start to grow closer. Jonah and Marla work hard to keep it professional, but their attraction to each other just grows and their chemistry, wow, it is off the charts. Jonah is so romantic and sweet and one part just made me swoon. You’ll know the part when you read it.
Just a King- OMG!!! I have been waiting for Papa Botsford’s story and finding out how he and Fiona fell in love. Tabatha did not disappoint. This was so good. It was great to see where Graham, Hayden, Ira and Jonah get all the attributes from. I absolutely fell in love with Kingston. He is so sweet, caring, loving and loyal. Fiona, is a strong woman who feels like she is dying inside due to everything her father wants her to do. These two are both loyal to their family, but also to each other. The connection that these two have is instant and it is proven to be strong when they see each other a year later. The chemistry between King and Fiona is hot and steamy. You can tell these two belong together. They are soulmates, and nothing can tear them apart. This was a wonderful story and I loved all the characters and it was fabulous seeing how their boys are doing. “His lips taste like run and bad decisions, but my heart pounds with nothing but excuses.”
These books will make you laugh and you may get a little teary eyed also. Fall in love with the Botsfords. Don’t pass up on this boxset. It is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend getting it, because if you read one, you will want to read them all.

I read these as individual books, before buying this box-set. This is a fabulous collection, definitely worth reading. I think each book could be read as a stand-alone, and be fine, but the richness of the story evolves with each book, with little tidbits of info from each story bleeds into the next. I love this whole Botsford family! Here's individual reviews for each book in the set:

Book 1, Just A Touch =
Oh my gosh, I loved this book! The whole story pulled me in, I couldn’t put it down. The flow was great, the world building was wonderful & I felt the characters emotions. Graham & Jenny are such fantastic characters. I was laughing, cheering, & when I finished the epilogue I was sighing with happiness. What a sweet second chance romance. Bravo Tabatha Kiss, well done, I can’t wait for Hayden’s story now!

Book 2, Just A Kiss =
I absolutely loved this book! I couldn’t put it down. The story pulled me in within a few pages, the flow was great. The world building was wonderful, though it's part of a series, it can be read as a standalone book. Hayden & Penny are such adorable characters. I was sighing with happiness at the end of the epilogue. Bravo, well done Tabatha Kiss! I can’t wait for the next Botsford brother’s story now!

Book 3, Just A Fling =
OMG, these Botsford brothers are fantastic, each brother is better than the previous brother, and the first one was fabulous. I’m not even sure how they can get better! I can’t wait to see what the next book, the last brother, Jonah, will be like! These can be read independently, but I think a reader would enjoy them more if they start at the beginning to pick up the nuances of each of the brothers & a full experience of the world building. Each book in the series is equally scrumptious! This book flowed fast & smooth, held my attention, & even made me grumble when I had to set it down a time or two. I love this series!

Book 4, Just A Crush =
What a fantastic conclusion to the 4 book series! (when I originally reviewed this book, it was supposed to only be 4 books to the series, but the author surprised me with a 5th book!) This book was my favorite by far of the series, the others were great, too, but there's something about this Rock Star that just made me love him. But to be fair, I love all those Botsford brothers. Jonah and Marla are so perfect together in this story, too. Their story is so perfect, it made me so happy! The story just sucked me in & wouldn't let go until I was done. Just like all the books from Tabatha Kiss, it kept me reading non-stop until I finished the last page. I think this could be read as a stand-alone, but there are small nuances from the first 3 books, that will make more sense if they are read in order. Great series & great story!

Book 5, Just A King =
(Surprise, the author decided to do one more book in the series!) OMG, Fiona & Kingston, what a fabulous couple! Each book in this series gets better & better. This final book is worth every penny! Who could predict that Kingston would be so fantastic, we now know where his sons (from the other 4 books in the series) got it (sex-appeal & charm) from! This was a wonderful story, and I think it could be considered a stand-alone, though the epilogue will make more sense if you've read the other 4 books in the series. I highly recommend this book!

Just a Touch
You know it. I know it. So, let’s all say it together now: “I’m a sucker for a second chance.” Graham and Jen were the poster children for young love until an unresolved misunderstanding tore the apart. Now, her little sister’s wedding brings them back to where it all started. Will they finally clear the air? Does this mean they close the last chapter on their past together? Or will they take this chance to write a new future together? My heart broke for this pair and what caused them to be apart. I cheered for every crazy risk they took to be together. I’ve started falling in love with the rest of Graham’s family too, so I’m looking forward to reading about the rest of the Botsford boys.
Just a Kiss
These Botsford boys may start out as players, but they turn into the sweetest partners. Just like I’m a sucker for a second chance, a fake relationship is my catnip. To see something real and lasting bloom from something that starts as a ruse is one of my favorite things in the reading world. I wasn’t exactly the biggest fan of Hayden in the previous book, so I was very interested in seeing what it would take for the author to get me to cheer for his happy ever after. Turns out it didn’t take very much at all, just one little spitfire named Penelope Warren. It hurt my heart that Penny couldn’t be honest with her mother about what she really wanted, but I loved seeing her and Hayden finally get it right. I can’t wait to read more about these Botsford boys.
Just a Fling
This book is ‘secret baby’ in a way I don’t think I’ve ever seen it handled before. There’s still the element of “secret” that normally drives batty, but Veronica specifically seeks Ira out to let him in on it and I could empathize with her reasons for keeping quiet. I loved seeing the chemistry between this pair in action, but I got the most enjoyment out of watching them interact with the family and friends. It was in those sweet unguarded moments that I really fell in love with this little family.
Just a Crush
These Botsfords are heady stuff. They’re wild and untamed until they find the right woman they want to settle down for. I thought it was absolutely adorable that Jonah thought he was going to be able to keep his developing relationship with Marla purely friendly and professional. Everybody but him knew it was never going to work out that way. I adored Marla. She may be innocent, but she was not naïve. In some ways, I think she was more world-wise than Jonah. Once again, I think my favorite parts of the story are the ones where we see our leading couple with their families and friends. It was definitely in those sweet moments where I fell in love.
Just a King
Wow. I don’t quite know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn’t this. It’s spicy and silly and I was left gasping for breath for so many different reasons. I adored everything about this book. We didn’t get to see a lot of Kingston and Fiona in their sons’ books, but the power couple always fascinated me. I loved that the author went ‘back to the beginning’ to give us a look at the events that brought them together and gave us this latest batch of Botsford boys. I went and fell in love with this whole family, and now I’m a little bit devastated to have to say “goodbye” to them.

Heartthrob Hotel Collection is fantastic!
Just a Touch was,a fabulous second chance between Graham and Jennifer. Married and divorced young after a misunderstanding. They have a run in years later. Will they learn what really happened? I really enjoyed this story. It's entertaining and the characters are engaging, hot and good chemistry. It's a well written romance.
Just a Kiss was a fun, sexy and delightful romance. Penny needing a fake boyfriend to keep her mother off her back asks Hayden for a favor. I loved these two. Their chemistry was amazing. I loved the interactions between them. Cute, sweet and sexy! It's well written, highly entertaining and very enjoyable.
Just a Fling was a fun, sweet and delightful story. I loved reading about Ira, Veronica and her surprise. Their chemistry was hot and sexy. I loved their story and all the interactions between the characters. Ms. Kiss has given us another fantastic story in the Heartthrob Hotel series. It's well written, engaging and a wonderful story.
Down down baby...
I absolutely loved Just a Crush! It's fun, flirty, sweet and hella sexy. Truly a fantastic wrap up of the Botsford brothers series. It's well written, amazing characters and a wonderful storyline. I loved Jonah and Marla's relationship and how everything unfolded. Ah their interactions- loved them! Ms. Kiss' writing is so captivating, her stories so entertaining and her characters so engaging. I highly recommend all her books. I hope it will continue on with the bandmates ;)
Just a King was fantastic. I absolutely loved Kingston and Fiona's romance. Their father's are enemies which make them off limits and forbidden. But it's their fathers feud, so maybe they could be friends. Well with their sizzling chemistry, sweet and fun times I don't think they could stay away from each other. This was such a fun, sexy and enjoyable story with genuine characters that'll have you rooting for their Happily Ever After!

Overall, 4 stars

This series follows the 4 Botsford Brothers and has a little bit of everything.

Graham & Jen- 2nd chance romance
Hayden & Penelope- pretend boyfriend
Ira & Veronica- secret baby
Jonah & Marla- friends to lovers

I didn't read Just a King, about their father and mother back in the 80s.

Graham & Hayden's were probably my favorites of the series. Ira's story was a bit unrealistic to me. Jonah's story is what brought my star rating down. Jonah is oblivious to the crush Marla has on him until others point it out. Then one night he decides to kiss her and it feels like there was no build-up of him realizing he liked her as more than a friend. Plus poor Marla is described as short and chubby with red hair, she awkwardly fangirls over Jonah and his band, and even her name sounds awful (Marla Gorchinsky). Can she get some sort of redeeming characteristic?

Absolutely loved it

Love love love all of the stories in this collection, I had already read the first one on it's own but it pulled me into the complete series, so happy I did that, reading one after the other without having to go into the store and get the next one, I really enjoyed all the stories, but Jonah and Marla and Kingston and Fiona were my favourite ones, probably because there was a beautiful tie up at the end, it was well written, flowed beautifully.

Loved this!

The Botsford Boys! Wow I love the story. Fun and light but a history of generation and legacy. I wish it could happen in real life. 4 boys achieving their own pinnacle and finding true love. Their parents who fight for their destiny against a generation of rivalry and hatred. But in the end they were able to work it out. It makes my heart full and I wish this can happen in real life.

Wonderful read!

This book filled in all the blanks on that wonderful Botsford clan. It was so very heartwarming since all those Bots ford boys excel in integrity and love for each other and family in general. The only thing bad about this book is having to realize this will probably be the end of reading about this family. So sad!!😥

Wonderful series

Each book was marvelous!! All so well written with such interesting characters. They were all hard to put down. I think Jonah's story was my favorite. Also Kingston and Fiona's book was especially fun. Tabitha is an especially talented author.
