Georgia Clay is well-known in Nashville. He’s the dashing, award-winning songwriter who rubs shoulders with country music’s elite. Clay, a great performer in his own right, has always been hesitant to take the stage on his own for fear of exposing his crippling childhood secret. Katie Parker is a workaholic Southern beauty who prioritizes her profession over her personal life.Her perseverance and gumption in ascending the corporate ladder are as impressive as her understanding of the cutthroat insurance industry she has expertly navigated over the years. In the heat of Atlanta July, the musician and business lady meet each other at their ten-year high school reunion and end up in the back of his pickup truck, chatting till dawn.Can Clay acknowledge to Katie that she had his heart a long time ago as they continue their passionate long-distance relationship? Will Georgia Clay’s ambition and support ultimately convince him to take a gamble on his career and love?
I loved this story and the concept of it as well.I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is the first book in the series and I can’t wait to read more.
Shy musician meets corporate career woman and sparks fly- a compelling read. I admired the insight into each character. While it is great to have self-confidence, I appreciated the hurdles that Clay had to overcome to go on tour. Let us be honest that everyone loves a success story, and this is no different. Both characters are relatable. Katie struggles with supporting Clay on a new venture vs putting her career first. That is relatable as it is easy to stay within our comfort zones instead of stepping out in faith. Clay battles his insecurities that stem from childhood, again all relatable as we all have insecurities. This story is not far-fetched- it is not something that is mind blogging or incomprehensible I liked that. I loved that K.G presented another facet to musicians. Clay and Katie’s relationship is real, raw, and organic and for that I am appreciative.

4 of 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining and engaging second chance at love romance and thought it was a great first book in a new series, ‘Southern Promises’. Georgia Clay an award winning songwriter is well known in Nashville and meets up with his high school crush, workaholic Southern beauty Katie Parker at their ten year high school reunion. Old feelings resurface and the couple spend until the early hours talking in Clay’s pickup truck. The pair then start a long distance relationship but Clay has never admitted to Katie that he fell in love with her years ago. Clay has never stepped into the spotlight himself despite his incredible talent as he’s worried that his debilitating childhood secret will be revealed. Meanwhile, Katie is a cut throat workaholic who is skilled in the insurance business.
When the musician and the career woman meet again their chemistry sizzles off the page leading to some steamy moments. Hopefully Katie’s love will ensure that Clay takes a chance both on love and on his career. The main characters were very likeable and relatable and the secondary characters were intriguing so I’m hoping they will get stories of their own. The setting was bought to life by the descriptive narrative and the storyline flowed well making it an easy read. The plot kept me happily turning the pages and I was hooked from page one. I look forward to reading further books in this series.

K.G. Fletcher
This was the first book I have read from K.G. Fletcher. This genre usually isn’t one I read but…HOLY COW! This book BLEW me out of the water! I literally read it in one sitting, I just could not put it down! The characters were amazing and the story…you just don’t want to miss this story. I am SO looking forward to reading the rest of the books by this author!
This is the first book in the Southern Promises Series. It is a beautiful romance about two people who went to school together meeting up again at their high school reunion and falling in love.
The characters are well written that you feel invested in them. What I liked about this story was there wasn’t any danger of someone splitting them up. This romance grew and blossomed.
Clay is a songwriter and Katie is a successful insurance executive. Both of them have successful lifes and have done well since school. Clay has always liked Katie but always felt she was out of his league but now that’s changed.
When they meet again at the school reunion the sparks and attraction was still there and after spending the night together they decide to give a long term relationship a try. Can they make it work? Both are focused on their careers but will they be able to make room for each other in their lives?
I love this so much!
I adore Katie and Clay so much. They will literally give you butterflies reading. It feels like a second chance but with a twist. They are so cute. I adore how much Katie supports Clay in everything he does. Mix country boy musician with a heart of gold it will have you wishing he was real. You could not ask for a more melt your heart book. I love it and can’t wait to read the next one.
Georgia Clay was such a beautiful love story! I was hooked from the first meeting between Clay and Katie. I loved how sweet their story was and how it didn’t have the usual turbulence of the genre. When Katie got on the Harley and saw the vanity plate, my heart just about burst! Talk about a beautiful, karmic moment. I absolutely loved the lightness of the story and how endearing it was. It was the perfect summer read that hit all the right heartstrings.
Georgia Clay is the first in the Southern Promises Series by K. G. Fletcher. Through the whole story, I felt like I was dreaming. Clay and Katie were such interesting characters to follow along in their journey. I love country music and cowboys, and the fact it was partly in Nashville this was right up my alley. I loved how each of the characters grew into who they really wanted to be with each other, not because of each other. The book was fast paced and easily read in one sitting, did not want to put it down. Would definitely recommend for those who love adorable country love stories!

Georgia Clay had me screaming at my phone! In some parts because I was laughing, and in some parts because I didn’t want the character to do what they were choosing. This story has all the feels and knows how to use them.
Katie Parker went to her 10 year highschool reunion for her best friend, Stacey. Katie was a workaholic and liked it. She had time in her hectic schedule for things that mattered, work, family, work, and friends. Did she mention work? Katie had climbed her way to almost the top of the ladder at her insurance firm because she earned every rung. Coming out of the bathroom at the reunion, Katie bumps into Clay Watkins. Will this accidental meeting turn into more than just bruised toes?
Clay Watkins discovered his love of music early. He always knew it was going to be his dream. After graduating high school, Clay makes his way to Nashville and builds a name for himself before heading back for his high school reunion. Bumping into Katie was just another way the fates were looking out for Clay. As Katie and Clay get to know each other all over again Clay is offered the chance of a lifetime. Could it be that Katie is the missing piece for Clay? WIll Katie have to choose between her dream and Clay’s?
The emotional rollercoaster that KG Fletcher takes you on from the beginning has a true payoff in the end. In between the cheers and jeers, the characters worm their way into your heart and take root there. I am glad that this is a series so I can see where Katie and Clay go!
I absolutely loved this book. It is the first time I have read a book from author K. G. Fletcher. It was amazing. I was holding my breath and my heart stopped I’m sure as I continued reading. The reuniting of Katie and Clay at their high school reunion has sparks flying. The characters are so likeable and you want everything to work out for them. They live 4 hours apart. Will the long distance and their busy careers make or break them. I couldn’t wait to find out. A great book to cuddle up in a comfy chair on the beach or inside by the fire. I’ll say it again, I loved, loved this book.
Absolutely loved this gorgeous read! It was one l couldn’t put down, it made smile! Katie & Clay getting reacquainted at a 10 year school reunion! And the sparks fly! Love both these characters, couldn’t be more perfect! A must read!
Georgia Clay is Book 1 of the Southern Promises series by K.G. Fletcher, and my personal favorite of the 3 novels. It can be easily followed as a standalone, however if you plan to read the series as a series, pay attention to the side characters! This book gives excellent insight and builds up ALL the characters rather than just the leading 2. This book was super easy to get lost in. Once I picked it up, I didn’t want to put it down. Clay is an all out Southern gentleman, and Katie, born in the south, is also a city girl through and through! I loved following the ups and downs and uncertainty of both characters as they navigate their relationship. I loved that it was 100% romance, and there was no subplots to detract you from what the book was actually about. 5 out of 5 stars!

5 Stars
This book was such a refreshing read. I had just finished a darker series and needed this type of book. I instantly fell in love with these characters and was championing for a HEA for them.
“He was her song; the melody that had been missing from her life.”
I love how their back story was intertwined into their current lives. I felt like I was getting to know their internal feelings along with them exposing their personal thoughts to one another.
I love the friendships, chemistry, loyalty and love for family, the struggle of balance with work and a new relationship. So much of this book can be relatable to many. From love, loss, taking a leap of faith and wondering if everything your hoping for will come true or be pulled from under you just as all the pieces start to come together.
I’m looking forward to Hartford’s story in book two Georgia on my mind. I hope characters from Georgia Clay are sprinkled into his story. I’d love to see where their journey takes them.
This first book in the Southern Promises series is a heart warming romance that will leave you feeling enlightened. Clay will have you swooning within in minutes of his introduction and Katie will have you wanting her as your best friend. Their story is one of true love, it is what love songs were written about and it is about fate and destiny. As the words entice you further into their story it will have you wishing you could be sitting in the back of that truck on a clear night hearing his beautiful voice as it caresses your soul. Georgia Clay is a story that will make you believe in a love that is worth everything. Such a beautiful story to bring this series to a magical start.
Clay and Katie Parker, love them! I felt like I was right there in this book with them. Georgia Clay is so entertaining, and the characters are amazing. I can’t wait to read Georgia On My Mind!
Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1)
By KG Fletcher
Georgia Clay is book 1 in the Southern Promises series by KG Fletcher, this book is well worth the read. This is also my first book by KG Fletcher and I can’t wait to see what happens in the series. Katie is a business woman and very independent in the way she thinks. Clay is now a famous song writer. Katie doesn’t know this and when they meet up again there is an instant connection between the both of them. The background on Katie and Clay is that they met in high school nearly ten years ago. Clay had always had a crush on Katie and ten years later it was no different. But the problem in their way is the distance that they now live apart. Is their connection strong enough to endure a long distant relationship?
Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series by K.G. Fletcher. I managed to read this book in an afternoon because I couldn’t put it down.
Katie had no idea what would happen to her when she agreed to go to her ten year high school reunion. I think we all have that one person from our youth that we play the what if game with. I know I do, and even after all of these years I still think of John from time to time.
Clay is sigh worthy. I’m a sucker for the southern accent and I could just imagine his sexy drawl while reading.
I have books two and three in this series in my kindle and ready to go. Can’t wait to get started.

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1) By KG Fletcher is the first book in the Southern Promises series. Holy Wow I loved everything about this book. This is not my first book by this author and definitely not my last.i love this author’s ability to grab ahold of you and keeps your attention to the end. I literally couldn’t put this down once I started reading. This story is about Clay and Katie and second chances. While Clay is a songwriter, Katie is in the insurance business. These two went to high school together and run into each other at their high school reunion. That night is spent in the back of his truck talking all night. These two pulled at my heart strings and I was a little emotional in some parts. Will Clay tell Katie how he feels?He’s always had a crush on her .Can Katie take a chance on Clay? I highly recommend reading this book especially if you want to know what happens. I can’t wait to read more from this author.
Georgia Clay by KG Fletcher is a country music song. While reading this story, it made me think back to my high school days and see if I can relate to Clay and Katie. To be honest I did get emotional throughout this book. Clay is a song writer and Katie is in the insurance trade. These are two totally different people and lifestyles. It took a high school class reunion to get these two together. Will Clay and Katie take a chance on love or will they let this chance go by?
KG Fletcher wrote clear cut and precise characters which you can relate too. There was always that one you may have a crush on and never act upon it. She took me on an emotional ride. She tugged at my heart strings and my stubborn side. I enjoyed this book and I cannot wait to dive into her other books.
Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series and I LOVED it!The story was sweet and emotional and had an easy flow to it.
We meet Clay who is a song writer and Katie who works in an insurance business. Both run into each other at their high school reunion where they spent the night talking to one another. Clay has always had a thing for Katie but has always been too leery on telling her. Their relationship progresses and slowly turns into love. I loved how believable this book was. You actually got to see the relationship grow instead of insta-love connection by page 2.
K.G. Fletcher did a beautiful job writing these characters and I cannot wait for more!
