Asher & Andrea had one amazing night together. Even though she replays that night in her mind, she has to move on & focus on other important priorities in her life. He’s been secretly in love with her for years & one night isn’t enough for him. Will she give this playboy a chance or will she ruin what could be something great?
Asher’s twin Aiden and Andrea’s best friend Hadley (from Donut Overthink It) are fantastic support characters. It didn’t feel like a short book, and characters or scenes from the first book were explained in detail so you don’t feel lost or confused if you didn’t read it (though I highly recommend reading it). This was a great, quick read!
I loved this! Best friends married to twin brothers. Asher turns into her Prince Charming. Of course, Andi doesn’t make it easy, but what fun is that to read? this author makes it fun to read her books.
I loved this book! I loved the push and pull between Andrea and Asher! There were so many feels through out the whole book! I liked that you got to see how Hadley and Aiden were doing in life as well in this book! I was literally left wanting to read more at the end!
A fun Holiday novella that is a spin off of the characters from Donut over think it. Just a kiss is about Asher who is Aiden’s twin brother and Andrea who just happens to be Aiden’s wife’s best friend. Aiden is an alpha who is trying to show is love for Andrea and she pretends it isn’t happening and goes to the extremes as to have a fake fiancée. The banter between these two is sweet and funny. I also loved getting a peek into Aiden and Hadley lives as well. Another great book by this author and I anxiously await the her next release
Just a kiss was a sweet romance novella with lots of fun. The romance was cute and sassy. Asher was a stubborn man who cant stay put.. that included Andrea Stikes, the kind woman who loves her family dearly.
I loved to see the relationship bloomed… it was meaningful.. the banter between the couple were funny.. they were so into with each other..
JUST A KISS is a holiday novella. It’s part of The 2019 New Years Eve Kisses Collection but is a standalone.
Asher Kyle is the twin brother of Aiden, we met him and Hadley in DONUT OVERTHINK IT (but Ms. Tessier does a great job of connecting the two stories so you don’t need to worry about getting lost). Andrea Stikes is Hadley’s best friend. She works two jobs to support her sick mother. Asher is a big time lawyer. They come from different worlds and should never have met. But a one night stand at Hadley and Aiden’s wedding leaves them both wanting more.
Asher is definitely the lighter half of his twin! Yes, he can still be a big sexy jerk but we don’t see too much of that (maybe because this is a slightly shorter story?). Mostly, he’s determined to capture Andrea’s heart in an over the top, round about way. Andrea is a hard worker, an awesome daughter, she knows her mind and what she wants. I liked both Asher and Andrea, they were great together when they weren’t fighting each other. But I wasn’t a huge fan of the games they played! It just seemed kinda childish after awhile. Having said that, if this was a full length novel and had more time for the characters to develop, I know I’d enjoy reading their story!
Overall, this was an enemies to lovers, opposites attract that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a sexy shortie. Told from dual POVs with a sweet ending. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
Really fast read! It’s not Shantel’s usual complicated and gritty work. Asher and Andi’s story started on one drunk night in Tahiti! If you like cute and fluffy this one’s for you!
Short and sweet. Andrea and Asher met briefly two years ago and were both attracted to the other. They met again at Aiden (Asher’s twin) and Hadley’s (Andrea’s best friend) wedding. After connecting on a more intimate level, Asher decides that he is not letting Andrea get away. Andrea has secrets and resists Asher with the dubious assistance of Hadley. Shenanigans ensue. The story wraps up with a sweet HEA.
This story is much more sweet than the author’s other stories. It is an entertaining short read that left me feeling good.
Andrea and Asher were introduced in Donut Overthink It, an office place, enemies-to-lovers romance with some unexpected twists and hot scenes. Don’t miss Aiden and Hadley’s story!

I am so glad the author wrote Asher’s story. This was a fun, short New Years read.
Andrea is a strong, independent woman and Asher has been drawn to her for quite some time. Their story is fun, sweet, and a tad sassy.
Though it isn’t necessary to read before “Just A Kiss”, I recommend reading “Donut Overthink It”.
This book was a follow up to Donut Overthink it, with Andrea and Asher’s story. It was a great quick read. I just loved the story line. It was intriguing and I was rooting for them the whole time!
Just One Kiss was a sweet, sassy and heartwarming novella from Shantel Tessier. It followed the same characters from Donut Overthink it, for this one is about Asher, Aiden’s twin brother.
This book was very hot and had a great story.
Andrea and Asher have this history. One sexy and hot drunken night happened and since then neither of them can get the other one out their mind. Andrea is strong-willed and fierce and if anyone could, it be this woman. She fights their attraction every step of the way. She even gets Nate to help her in her “quest”. I loved Asher and Andi, plus the secondary characters in this book and would love to read more about all of them again.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
Just A Kiss was a sweet and sassy novella from Shantel Tessier that hit the spot. It followed the same characters from Donut Overthink it. I loved Asher and Andrea and thought their chemistry was sexy and their banter fiery. I enjoyed the back and forth and loved that there was this draw between them that could not be denied.
Overall I thought this story was romantic and such a fun and swoony read! Bravo! 4 stars! ~Ratula
I was intrigued by Asher since his brother’s story and I wasn’t disappointed. This is a short story but you’ll get all wrapped up in Andrea and Asher. She’s a tough cookie going thru so much but Asher isn’t backing down. These two go back and forth the entire book and it would make you laugh at the extremes that they take to ignore each other. But Asher wants her and isn’t giving up. Then he helps her out in the most beautiful and selfless way and she’s a goner. I loved what he did.
The ending was sad but beautiful with some questions still left unanswered but still beautiful. It was nice to catch up with Hadley and Aiden.
This is a fun read and a short one we also met Andrea & Asher in donut overthink it. We also caught up with Hadley & aiden and gets a few surprises!!! Loved it
This story takes place 2 years after Donut Overthink it and it’s where we met Andrea and Asher. If you haven’t read the previous book then stop right here and go read that one because you don’t want to miss your introduction into smart mouth Andrea and playboy Asher Kyle. Andrea and Asher have one night together at the wedding of her best friend and his brother. When they return, he can’t seem to get her out of his mind. He starts wanting to be where she is and Andrea doesn’t want anything to do with him. Andrea is just trying to keep her head above water and make sure her mom is taken care of. When you throw Asher in the mix it can get complicated for her to fight her feelings. Asher is all about going after what he wants and he has wanted Andrea since the moment he laid eyes on her. That taste he received only made him hungry for more. Their chemistry is off the charts and I do not understand what person in their right mind would jump on that bandwagon. Asher is so much like his brother but is sexier and I would have liked to have more of him.
The story is a quick read and you will not want to put it down. Asher will keep you entertained with his charm and possessiveness. He can be funny and swoon worthy at the same time. Andrea has a smart mouth and willing to go head to head with Asher. I love these two together because they keep one another on their toes. I love that we get a glimpse into the characters from the previous story. They really had me laughing and loving every second of them interfering. Great read and even wonderful characters. Asher is going into my book boyfriend hall of fame.
Just A Kiss was a sweet and sexy novella with Asher and Andrea. I really loved them. They were perfect together. I loved seeing Aiden and Hadley from Donut Overthink It! I wish this was longer!
A quick sweet read! These characters we met in Donut Over Think It. Asher is a player, but the way he chases Andrea was a beautiful intriguing story. The story is full of laughs, angst & steaminess! I didn’t want this story to end. The chemistry between these two was hot, hot, hot!! I highly recommend this book.
Told in dual POV.
Just a kiss is a sweet read. Nothing like the last book I’ve read by Shantel lol
This book was very hot and had a great story.
Andrea and Asher have a history. One drunken night happened and since then neither can get the other out of their mind. Andrea is strong though. She fights it every step of the way. Even gets Nate to help her. I loved all the character in this book and want to read more about them soon.
Hopefully this Novella is the start of something great.
You definitely don’t want to miss out on Asher and Andrea!!
A novella follow-up to Donut-Overthink It, which was Aiden’s story, Just A Kiss is Asher’s story, Aiden’s twin brother.
Asher Kyle, a rich defence attorney, who has been ‘in love’ with Andi, his twin brother, Aiden’s, wife’s best friend since he first met her, two years ago.
Andrea Stikes, down on her luck working two jobs to pay for her mothers nursing home fees, has too much on her shoulders but is stubborn to a fault.
A quick holiday read that still brings you drama and a little heat!
Shantel Tessier doesn’t fall, whether it’s a holiday novella or full length novel, a great read!
I voluntarily Reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
This is a sexy, sweet short read. Asher and Andreas story is a great one. Their chemistry and spark is on fire. You won’t want to miss this
