The agony of defeat never felt so real.Never in a million years did Jessica Kaufman think she would be divorced from her real-estate mogul husband and left to raise four young daughters on her own in an affluent Atlanta subdivision. The very last thing she expects is an encounter with her gorgeous gardener who looks more like a sexy beast from her daughters’ favorite Disney movie. She is smitten … is smitten with his evergreen eyes, wild mane of hair and impressive stature.
Tim McGill is in hiding – his reputation and celebrated career on the West Coast left in shambles. He moves far away to distance himself from his downfall and inconspicuously tends the upper-class landscapes to keep his renowned identity a secret. Unlike his typical wealthy clients, Jessica doesn’t seem to mind that he’s a gardener. One spark between them is all it takes to ignite a fiery passion that could explode if Tim’s identity is revealed. He must earn Jessica’s trust and finally come to terms with what he has lost.
Can Tim open his heart wide enough to let in a beautiful mother and her four little girls? Or will his Southern Belle turn her back on him and walk away from their happily-ever-after?

Georgia Pine is my favorite in this series so far! Oh my goodness, this book was so loveable with Tim and Jessica and those precious 4 little girls. I’m excited to see what comes next!
Georgia pine did not disappoint! This was a gorgeous, beautiful story with some sexy bits! Jessica his Southern Belle and Tim her Georgia Pine are perfect together! Then add those four beautiful girls and your heart will melt! A must read, can be read as a standalone!
Once upon a time, a man with a secret hid his identity and took a job working as a gardener for wealthy southern suburbanites. They treated him with disdain or complete indifference, seeing him as a servant and nothing more. That suited him well, because he wanted to be left alone, until one day he stumbled into the home of four little girls, and found their beautiful (and very newly divorced) mother crying on the floor of her pantry as she stuffed her face with Oreos. He realized he hadn’t just been alone, he’s also been lonely, and there the story begins.
What an adorable modern fairy tale of a story, and filled with characters you’ll instantly fall in love with. Jessica, the sweet southern belle with a spine of steel and Tim, the giant, hairy beast of a man with a gentle heart. I started reading their story last night, stayed up way too late because I couldn’t put it down, and finished it this morning. A sweet, easy read that will warm your heart and make you cry, but it’ll also put a smile on your face.
Now I have to go and read the first two books in this series. Nice work, K.G. Fletcher!
Georgia Pine is the third book in K.G. Fletcher’s Southern Promises series. I have read the second book which was also my first read by this writer and I fell in love with her Southern story telling! I know now for sure I need to go and pick up also the first book (as it turns out our girl Jessica is friends with Katie who is the female main character in the first story of the series AND both Jessica and Tim love Georgia Clay music!)
Georgia Pine is the story of Jessica Kaufman – a mother to four young girls and just recently divorced from her hot shot cheating real estate mogul husband, and Tim McGill who is hiding out in Georgia and trying to rise like Phoenix from the ashes of his former celebrated career on the West Coast.
The story was heart-warming like Southern hospitality, I loved the simplicity and yet the complexity of the feelings of the two people who feel such a strong pull under the surface so you sit at the edge of your seat and keep your fingers crossed that Tim will learn to trust and open up to these little girls their mother and that Jessica will get her happily-ever-after!
First of the cover is hot! Such a great book. You seem internal term-oil, struggle, realization, heartache, and so much more. The spark that ignites their passion could burn them with the truth Tim is withholding. I couldn’t put it down once I started. Hot, steamy, and so much passion. You want to root for them. The author really has a great writing style like not a lot that I have seen. Once you start the book you will never want to stop. It’s a read again book and a read again series. Is there more because I definitely want more. Great book!!!!
K.G Fletcher is a new author for me, and I absolutely loved this story!! Jessica is a newly divorced mom of 4 girls all under the age of 4 . Her ex is a good for nothing real estage mogul that cheated. As Jessica comes to terms with her new reality, the last thing she expects is to meet a man as big as a Georgia Pine, and as helpful and sweet as they come. But like Jessica, he has skeletons in his closet. Tim McGill is Jessica’s gardener, and her saviour, but he has a secret! Who doesn’t love a good secret? This story made me consider the rich a little more than I ever have before. Without giving anything away, let me just say Georgia Pine ( Southern Promises Book 3) is a MUST READ for lovers of romance! 5 out of 5 stars!
Georgia Pine is yet another outstanding read from K.G. Fletcher. It is the 3rd book in the Southern Promises Series and I’ve loved all of them. All 3 books have a connection but can be read as a standalone as each is a complete story. I’d urge anyone to read all 3 books, not to help with any understanding of the story, but purely because this is a fantastic series that I’ve totally fell in love with and I know I’ll read them again.
In Book 2 we meet Stephen Kaufman who is Hart’s boss. We know that he’s a cheating scumbag with a beautiful wife and 4 gorgeous daughters. The book is the story of his, now ex-wife Jessica. Jessica is heartbroken by the breakdown of her marriage and is now doing everything she can to raise her 4 gorgeous daughters on her own.
Tim McGill is the gardener to the homes in the posh suburban area where Jessica lives. Hiding behind a beard and long hair, Tim is making a new life for himself, using a fake surname. In reality he’s Tim Ryan, huge star of the NFL whose mistake cost his side the Superbowl. When Tim catches Jessica having a breakdown the day her divorce papers arrive, he becomes her knight in shining armour, helping her with the girls.
As Tim and Jessica spend more time together they finally give in to the huge attraction they have for each other. This however causes a lot of friction in Jessica’s life. Her snobby parents and ex-husband are mortified that she’s lowered herself to be involved with such a lowlife as a gardener.
Again K.G. Fletcher has given us amazing characters. Jessica’s guts and determination to raise her little girls and make others see that Tim really is a good guy is endearing. Tim is just the most adorable man. The love he has for, and the way he treats her daughters makes my heart melt.
Will Tim’s secret get out? Will Tim and Jessica get the happily ever after that they deserve? I’m not going to answer those and spoil the story. Dig in and read for yourself and find out how it all ends.
Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher is the third book in her Southern Promises series and it just keeps getting better and better. Following the story of Jessica and Tim, you get to see these two characters grow closer and start a family together. Watching these characters throughout the series, from books one and two, you get to see the story being told from their eyes and how their lives have changed since coming together. Having fallen in love with Fletcher’s work from her previous series, and then loving the rest of this series, I knew that I couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to read this one. While each of these books are written in a way that they could be read as a standalone, I totally recommend reading them in series order, Georgia Clay and Georgia on My Mind, as the characters really came alive for me across the books. If you are looking for a fantastic series that will take you in and never let go than this is the series for you!
Georgia Pine by K.G. Fletcher a four-star read that will make you pine. This is the third book in the Southern Promise series this can be read as stand-alone, but I have enjoyed the whole series. Jessica has been through some tough times and she is really a strong character to stand up to it all, we watch as she starts a little lost but comes through in the best way to become a woman you will want in your life. This author has a way with words that creates chemistry on the page that light up even the darkest of circumstances.
Georgia Pine (Southern Promises book 3) by KG Fletcher
5 stars
This, to me, was the best book of the series. I absolutely fell in love with Tim and Jessica and the little girls were an added bonus!
Tim is a gardener for the upper class in town, but he has a secret. He’s in hiding from his former life. And he doesn’t expect a family of women to bring him to his knees.
Jessica is learning how to live after a divorce where she wasn’t a wife but more arm candy, and her husband strayed.
Can these two unlikely people come together to be stronger than they have ever been?
Georgia Pine (Southern Promises #3) by K.G. Fletcher was a swett good feel read, that leaves you feeling all mushy on the inside.
My first read from this author and for this series, they read as standalones, so there was nothing to worry about in that area. This book followed a pretty standard plot, and you could see the ending a mile away, but I loved the added children and that, Tim wasn’t a overbearing, brewing, alpha male type.
First I want to give the author props for not using the whole amnesia thing, cause it’s like a weird cop-out, and frankly it’s been done so many times that I get nervous when a MC gets a head injury. I also like the way Tim’s character was developed, kind, strong and basically a decent human being. Despite Jessica’s a++hat ex, he wasn’t that overpowering jealous type, and didn’t get all piss when someone talk to her. I will say that, I wish he was just a blue-callered worker, I really do. Because him being not, and using it as a disguise, actually took away from the story. It was for me, a cop-out. I think the ending would have had a much greater and more powerful message, if Tim was simply just, a normal hardworking, decent humanbeing.
Overall I very much enjoyed this quick read. It was very well written, the detail was rich and made you feel that southern heat. It has a nice easy pace, there was drama but it was well place and belonged. There was no drama for the sake of drama. The love was a little insta-lovie, but it still felt natural, and of course the smut was…. hot… hot.. you’ll feel the heat and will need a fan.
The only left is to give you my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.
Happy Reading

Georgia Pine is book three in the Southern Promises series written by KG Fletcher. While it is part of a series it can be read as a stand alone. This was probably my favorite of the three stories and is Tim and Jessica’s story. Both have their own set of problems and issues and this great story is how they handle each issues along with moving forward. It has it’s surprising moments and moments of “no what are you doing?!”. overall the story is great and has a little bit if everything in it. The characters had issues you can relate to and the emotions they experienced are similar to real life scenarios.

Georgia Pine is the third book in the Southern Promises book by K.G. Fletcher. This book can be read as a standalone, but I would highly recommend that you read the whole series because all of the books are five stars. This book had me hooked from the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until the very last. Jessica is such a strong women, finding herself on her own taking care of her three daughters. Along comes the sexy gardener, Tim, and the chemistry flairs. The secret that Tim carries may cause problems if he doesn’t come clean to Jessica. The bonding that Tim has with Jessica’s daughter is amazing, and the book has all the feels. This is my favorite book by K.G. Fletcher and l can’t wIt to see what she will write in the future.
K.G. Fletcher’s third book in the Southern Promises series is Georgia Pine. This contemporary romances is yet another well tuned addition to this series. The author’s words from the first chapter draw you in, fitting you within the characters as they progress from chapter to chapter. The combination of characters for the male/female leads would not necessarily be ones I would pair together, yet they work – they work well. I enjoyed Tim’s story – it was emotional trying and there was a lot of growth from him in this book while learning more about himself, what he wants and needs in his life, along with looking for more than what he has. I will admit that he is definitely one of the best male characters I have read in quite a while. It takes a lot for a particular character to shine and K.G. Fletcher has delivered that in spades.
Georgia Pine Written by KG Fletcher
5 Stars
“He had been through a tumultuous time and saw himself in the Phoenix; something that recreated itself. He had burned it all down and was rebuilding again.”
Ahhh what a great easy-read, swoon worthy, second-chance, fairytale story. You will be smiling, have a heavy heart, worrying like a mother hen and fanning yourself. This book has all the feel goods watching these characters try to rediscover happiness and overcome their past. They lean on each other and encourage, but will that be enough?
“If she were to continue to see him and his identity were to become exposed, where would that leave her and the girls? Would they be safe? Should she take a chance for once in her life and live outside her comfort zone?”
Georgia Pine is book three in the Southern Promises series by K. G. Fletcher. I think I am in love. I beyond adored this story. Every word I read, I loved. As I got to know Jessica and Tim, the harder I fell. Their story was so sweet, I may need a trip to the dentist!! The quality just shone, and the thought and preparation was evident. K. G. Fletcher gave it all, and it showed magnificently.
Jessica has her hands full, and with her impending divorce imminent, she is on emotional overload. Tim entering her life when she was at her lowest mortified her. But this woman was made of strong stuff, and with love and support, could handle anything life threw at her. Tim could not have been more perfect for her. The heartfelt goodness and dedication to Jessica and her daughters was heartwarming, and his love for them new no limits.
I could not put this book down. Countless times my kindle fell to the floor as I was exhausted, but I just could not stop reading. It was that glorious. The story, 5 stars. The storyline, 5 stars. The way it made me feel, immeasurably satisfied and happy. The author, 5 stars. Readers simply must read this terrific story.
Georgia Pine is book 3 in the series, but I didn’t connect some of the dots until the writer did it for me at the end, where this couple comes into play. Tim is a sweet, tall and strong, rugged man. He has a heart of gold and loves on Jessica’s kids, the elderly, his boss, basically everyone. I love Tim. Jessica I went back and forth on. I mean she’s a good mom and deserves happiness but the way her and so many other emphasized class differences or the importance of money really annoyed me. Maybe that’s more common than I realize? Anyway, that’s my personal issue with the characters, not the story. It was a smooth read that I had trouble walking away from. I’ve enjoyed this whole series, but you can read this as a stand alone. And it has a happy ever after.
I have personally read the first two books in the Southern Promises books by KG Fletcher, but they are written in a way that you could read them as standalone novels. I would recommend that you read them all though, and feel as if you will feel the same once you finish this one, and fall for Tim and Jessica as I have. They are great little romance reads to escape into, you can’t really go wrong.
Like I stated above, in Georgia Pine we get the story of Jessica and Tim. These two are just too darn perfect. I absolutely was enamored with them by the time I had finished the last page, and frankly I want more! Jessica is fresh off a difficult divorce and left to fend on her own for her and her four daughters. Learning to be a single mother a single woman is no easy feat. In swoops the brooding and handsome gardener, Tim. Tim has his own demons that he is hiding under his full beard, and even his name. There is so much more to him that she could ever know. But at the root of it all they have a spark. It is ignited and they are spun together into a fast developing love. Of course, life eventually catches up to everyone though. What will happen when the secrets come out? Can Jessica still love Tim? Will they be able to put the past behind them for good? You will have to pick up this little gem to find out for yourself!
This book was awesome to read. Although, my dad is a gardener for people like Jessica, so there were parts that made me cringe, but it did not make me love this book any less.
I had been waiting to read this since I finished the second book in the series! The blurb had me hooked and the wait did not disappoint. There were twists and turns and things to overcome, similarly to the other books in the series, but this felt different. A good different though because the other books I could guess what was going to happen, this one took me by surprise.
I found this book very heartwarming. Jessica was such a loving character. She has to be my favourite character out of this whole series. She has had to come to terms with a divorce that she never pictured to happen. Which obviously is a difficult thing to do but when you have 4 children, then it makes it harder. Tim was awesome I loved him so much! His journey throughout this book was very interesting to read.
I honestly could not rate this book high enough. It was so amazing and such a good conclusion (for now?) to this wonderful series.
5 Stars
Georgia Pine is the third (and Final) book in the Southern Promises Series by K.G Fletcher. I adore this series and can’t believe that it is finished! I really hope I am wrong because I am not ready to say goodbye to these fabulous characters and the wonderful stories that Ms. Fletcher has created. Each book slightly eclipses the last, making this a very memorable series. I didn’t think it would be possible for me to love a story or the characters more than I loved the last book, Georgia On My Mind (Hart and Gia’s story)- but once again Ms. Fletcher proved me wrong and had me falling in love with the story and the characters before I’d even got one chapter in- when she had me in tears before I had even gotten to the end of the first chapter, I knew I was in for an absolutely captivating story- and she certainly delivered everything I had hoped for, and more!
This book could be read as a standalone, but I can’t recommend the other books highly enough- they really are worth the read and help set the tone and feel for the series as a whole. We met Jessica in the previous book and my heart had ached for what she experienced- so I really wanted her to find true happiness in this book and I was intrigued to see what Ms. Fletcher had in store for her.
In this book we find Jessica a year on from the life changing events of the previous instalment. She’s newly divorced, still reeling, and quite lost. She’s had no time to really grieve for the end of her marriage as she has four adorable little girls who need her now more than ever. But she’s been struggling since her world fell apart and she’s not sure how to stitch it back together again and get everything back on track. She feels like she has failed her daughters and herself, as all her life she’d been expected to be perfect, her parents settling for nothing less from their beautiful daughter. She’d been the perfect daughter, the perfect cheerleader, the prefect sorority girl, the perfect friend, then the perfect wife and mother- but that was before her perfect world crumbled out from under her leaving her overwhelmed by disappointment and uncertainty- responsibility and expectation weighed heavily on her shoulders. Feeling extremely vulnerable and out of her depth, she gave in to her emotions, and was completely shocked when a tender giant came to her rescue. He brings some much-needed confidence and balance back into her life, and her world becomes brighter with him in it.
Tim McHill has had a huge fall from grace and has retreated across the country to live a simple life, keeping a low profile. He lives in the shadow of his former life expecting that his past will catch up with him eventually. He has no intention of letting anyone in, he’s purposely shut everyone out. But seeing this beautiful, broken young mother falling to pieces tugs at his battered heartstrings and brings out his caring and protective nature. He finds himself drawn into her life, bonding with her cute daughters in the process. All of a sudden, his life has new meaning and he looks forward to the future. But what happens when his secret is discovered? When mother nature throws a dangerous curve-ball, will they find a way through the storm, or will it destroy any chance of a future? What happens when his true identity is revealed for the world to see? All this and more can be discovered between the covers of this delightful book!
The story is soooo romantic- very touching, heart-warming, emotional, funny, suspenseful, heart-stopping, sweet, adorable, passionate, and fun. Like the other two books in the series, this is really well written, and the characters are so endearing, I became hooked right from the beginning. It was so easy to read that I zipped through it in a few hours. These complex characters had me so emotionally invested in them and their wonderful story- they really had a beautiful connection and incredibly sizzling chemistry- their story is full of sexy, steamy and swoon worthy details that really sizzled off the pages. Then there were the adorable girls who added an extra element of adorableness to the whole story. I loved how Tim connected with them right away and how wonderful he was with them- it made my heart go pitter-pat!! But there was also a bit of a mystery to the story, with Tim’s past- and some danger, suspense and a little drama were added, which took this story to a whole new exciting level!
This is such a brilliant addition to the series, and most definitely my pick of the three. I really hope we get to see more of these characters in the future- I would love to read Stuart’s story, and Jacques and Elizabeth’s story also. Hint, Hint- Ms. Fletcher!!
TOUCHDOWN!!!
Thank you, Ms. Fletcher!
