Georgia Clay, by K.G. Fletcher, is the first book of the Southern Promises series. The setting is a class reunion and the question always comes what could possible happen?! Two classmates reunite and sparks abound and the journey begins. The story had a true southern feel to it throughout the novel. You could feel the accents running off the characters and the behaviors evident in their actions. I could not put this story down and read it start to finish in one setting. I really enjoyed the characters and the obstacles they each had to overcome. The author didn’t force the story and you could feel it noting the flow stayed consistent. Beautifully written and looking forward to seeing what’s next in this series.
Georgia Clay by K.G. Fletcher is my first book by this author, and it’s also the first book in the Southern Promises Series.
I had a really fun time getting to know the characters in this book. I have to say that I wasn’t ready to feel all of the emotions that I experienced while reading this book. I was surprised to find that the author had created a good storyline that pulls you in, but keeps the reader entertained. I am excited to see where the author takes this series.
Georgia Clay by K.G. Fletcher is the first book in the Southern Promises Series. This is the first book that I have read by this author and if this book is a true indication of their work then I’ll certainly be reading more.
Katie and Clay meet again at their high school reunion 10 years after leaving high school. Katie remembers Clay as a very quiet, shy boy who only came alive when he sang at a school concert. Clay had a huge crush on Katie at high school. Now Katie is very successful in her job in insurance and Clay is now an award winning singer songwriter in Nashville. Both of them are so busy with their careers that there is no room in their lives for any social life or for romance. However Clay realises that his crush on Katie has not gone away and Katie is definitely attracted to Clay.
This is a very well written romance novel with fantastic characters that you can connect with and will fall in love with. I have to admit that Clay is an awesome character. He’s got everything you would want in a man. He may still be quite a shy person but he’s a totally different animal in the bedroom. There are some rather steamy encounters between our 2 main characters. Of course, the path to true love never runs smoothly and there are some obstacles in the way. How will Katie and Clay overcome these and get their HEA? I can assure you that if you choose to read this book, you will not be disappointed.
We are also introduced to some intriguing secondary characters that will be getting their own story told in future and I can’t wait to see what K.G. Fletcher has in store for us next.
Georgia Clay by K.G. Fletcher a four-star read that will take you away. This is the first book in the Southern promise series and it tells us the lovely story of Clay and Katie and ohh what a story, a story of how two seemingly opposite people attract. Who knew a ten-year reunion could bring such a bang, this was a sweet story with some great moments that will suck you in and spit you out an emotional wreck later. If you like sweet and romantic, then this series will be one for you.
Yall! I really, really loved this book! Georgia Clay by K.G. Fletcher is book one in her Southern Promises series. It was so cute and sweet and honestly perfect. It was a total feel good kind of romance that makes you pang with jealousy because it’s just too darn adorable. I loved how much country music was incorporated in Katie and Clay’s story. I feel like I knew the playlist before the book was over! Katie is a workaholic insurance guru and somehow managed to find the time to attend her 10year high school reunion. (Which makes me feel some type of way because mine is next year! Hopeful for a musical cowboy!!) Katie runs into the super shy new kid from her senior year, Clay. Not knowing his success over the years, they spend an unforgettable night together. From there it’s all a matter of maneuvering their long-distance relationship. I was cheering and screaming and crying right along the both of them during this story. Definitely the perfect pick me up! The story is short and gives you everything one could hope for in a steamy, sweet romance. Cannot wait to read more by this author!!!
A great read about second chances. Georgia Clay is an award winning musician and songwriter who had had a crush on Katie Parker since forever. When they meet by chance at a high school reunion, Clay seizes the moment. Will his nerves get in the way of his love and will Katie reciprocate his feelings?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well develoepd characters like Katie going for what she wants but kind underneath or Clays shyness but passionate nature.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like the natural imagery of the sunrise or the river through the landscape or the stars as something wonderful with senses as if you were actually there. I also loved the passion towards music which was perfectly written with a sense of magic and beauty towards it, in particular the scenes in the live lounge with emotions and music to tell a story. The only issue I would raise is that dialogue kept switching between direct and indirect speech which was sometimes hard to follow. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.
Georgia Clay is Book 1 in the Southern Promises Series from author KG Fletcher. This is my first read from this author and now will not be my last. I can’t wait to see what this author brings to the rest of the series and her other books.
This author writing style was captivating, easy flowing and easy to read. She has created some wonderful characters that are real, relatable and very lovable.
This book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion and has me feeling all the feels. I loved reading the journey the characters Clay & Katie make as they rediscover each other again after a night of chatting. Their relationship grows from strength to strength. It was wonderful to watch these two getting to know each other again and go even further this time.
I loved the element of music entwined into the story and how much of an impact it has on the characters and their lives. I was on the edge of my seat for most of this read continually routing for them that they get somewhere with their long distance relationship, but you also cannot ignore the twists and turns that are also entwined. But with that being said I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this read.
We cannot forget to mention the secondary characters that come into this read. They just help make this read even better, and they help bring out our main characters and compliment them as a whole. I also loved that it was written into dual POV’s it really gave me an insight into each character, what they really are thinking and feeling. It also helped me understand the character even more and gave me a side to them that makes you like them even more.
I cannot wait to see what goes on in I the rest of the series. This is an incredibly captivating and compelling read that should not be missed, I highly recommend it!
Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1) By K.G. Fletcher I LOVED this book. I read it in one sitting. The story of Katie Parker a independent single business woman and “Georgia Clay” a famous Nashville song writer, is a romantic, sexy, fun story. They met in high school 10 years ago when Clay moved to their town for his Senior year. Katie was nice to him when no one else really was. He has crushed on her since then. Katie remember Clay singing a song at the talent show and knew he would go on to do great things. Fast forward to their 10 year High School reunion and they literally run into each other and sparks fly! They become inseparable except for the fact he lives in Nashville and she lives in Atlanta. Can they make a long distance romance work? Katie didn’t realize Clay was as famous as he is and doesn’t know if she can live with that. Read Georgia Clay to find out if they can make it work! Can’t wait for the next book!
Georgia Clay is a sweet love story. I actually read book two in this series first, they can be read as stand alones. Clay is a singer/songwriter and Katie is the girl he crushed on way back in school. I think it’s so cute they met back up at a reunion and that she affected him in such a big way. He is such a southern gentleman and I love how they’re all in with each other. There’s something brave about taking a big chance on love, especially when you don’t live in the same town. I enjoyed their story.

Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series by KG Fletcher, and it is a contemporary romance novel. The story is about a young woman whose name is Katie Parker, and a young man whose name is Clay Watkins. The two reunite unexpectedly at their high school 10 year class reunion which is held in Atlanta, Georgia, when Katie literally runs into Clay when she is coming out of the restroom. Katie is an insurance executive and she works late almost every day, and on weekends and holidays, and she hasn’t taken a vacation day in years because she really loves her job. Clay is now known as “Georgia Clay” Watkins because he now lives and works in Nashville as a song writer, and he has written many hit songs for some famous country music artists. Clay has also won a Grammy Award for one of his songs, as well as several different country music awards.
When Clay and Katie look up after their unexpected run in, they appear to be happy to see each other. Clay has had a huge crush on Katie since their senior year in high school because she was one of the few people who were kind and welcoming to him, since it was his first year at the school. Katie remembers Clay as a shy and quiet guy, who was kind of tall and skinny. But she also remembers that at the high school talent show held in the spring, that Clay got up on the stage and blew her and everyone away with his amazing singing voice.
After they recognize each other in the hall of the hotel where the reunion is being held, Clay asks Katie if he can buy her a drink and they head to the bar. Katie cannot believe how much Clay has changed, since he is now broad shouldered, muscular, and very good looking. Clay thinks that Katie is even more beautiful than she was in high school. They decide to leave the reunion to go get something to eat, and end up getting fast food and eating in the back of Clay’s pick-up truck. Clay and Katie are not big talkers, but Katie is impressed by the fact that Clay is a true southern gentleman. He drives them to a secluded spot down near the river that Katie has never seen before, and they end up having a romantic evening together, and Clay even gets up the nerve to kiss Katie. They end up talking and kissing until the middle of the night, and then fall asleep in each other’s arms, waking up early to catch the beautiful sunrise. The couple end up spending the whole day together, until Clay has to leave to drive back to Nashville. Will they end up seeing each other again since they now live four hours away from one another?
I really liked this book by KG Fletcher. I love how she helps us to get to know these main characters on an intimate level, helping the reader to see what good people they are, and pulling for them to get together. I also enjoyed the other characters that we meet along the way. You can tell that Ms. Fletcher knows Nashville and Atlanta, describing these places in great detail through out the book, which helps the reader to see these places in our minds. This is a wonderful romance novel that I loved reading and I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series.
Un-put-down-able
First book from this author for me and I think I have stumbled upon a brilliant series. Loved the writing, the characters, the setting and the story line. The story didn’t get caught up on too much angst and just moved along at a nice pace. The maturity of the characters wasn’t compromised to create unnecessary drama – it was fairly straightforward and real. Once I started I was sucked right in and didn’t want to leave. Romance, country music and southern hospitality. Really loved Clay and Katie and hope that we get insights into their life in future books.
Georgia Clay: Southern Promises Book One written by KG Fletcher. Georgia Clay is a cute friends to lovers story full of nice intimate scenes and very entertaining friendships (Stacy). As Katie and Clay start up a conversation at their high school reunion it quickly brings back memories and feelings from High school. There are definitely going to ups and downs in this story but with two committed adults working hard for their goals it’s hard to not focus on your career and consider how your choices affect others. I am looking forward to book two in the series
Each book in the series is a standalone. Georgia Clay, Georgia On My Mind, Georgia Pine
