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?

Just when I think it is impossible for KG Fletcher to cause me to love her writing any more than I already do… I simply adored this book. This third installment in the Southern Promises series was beautifully written. It has tons of Southern charm and a natural rhythm that keeps the reader entranced. I became emotionally invested on the first page. The detail provided allows for this book to be easily read and enjoyed on its own. The main characters are likeable, relatable, and have tons of chemistry. This is, hands down, a book and series I was gladly pick up and read over and over. Simply wonderful!
Georgia Pine is book 3 in the Southern Promises Series and can absolutely be read as a stand-alone.
This is the story of the 6′ 5″ 235 lb male specimen named Tim (as I was reading, I pictured Brock O’Hurn or Danny Jones) and a young mother of 4 daughters named Jessica. Both Tim and Jessica had sweet personalities and they were a fun couple to read about.
As with all of the other books I’ve read written by this author, this was a quick – easy to read story. Georgia Pine contained a few funny moments, a lot of realism (what mom hasn’t given herself a time out) and emotions. There were a few people who I wanted to “punch in the throat” and one really cool friend who I wish was my bestie also.
The story line is well developed with a very defined beginning, middle and end and I never doubted where this story was going to end. Exactly as I was hoping it would.
I absolutely recommend this author, this series, and this book.
Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher is the third book in the Southern Promises series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone.
Neither Jessica nor Tim could have predicted how their lives would turn out. Jessica divorced and raising her four kids alone. Tim hiding out, his career tattered and seemingly irreparable.
So when the two of them meet neither one expected the attraction between them. Neither one expected to be so drawn to the other. And yet they are both aware of the chemistry between them.
Things start progressing and look to be going well. But Tim’s secret is still lurking between them. And when revealed it could mean the end for them.
I have really enjoyed this series so far and this book was no exception. As usual the characters were relatable and enjoyable to read about. It felt like they had problems everyone could relate to. Their emotions and feelings were easy to connect with. The story was well paced, it kept you interested all the way through and showed an excellent writing style from the author. This is a great series and one I would definitely recommend.
Georgia Pine is Book 3 in the Southern Promises Series from author KG Fletcher. This is my third read from this author and will most definitely not be my last.
This author writing style was captivating, easy flowing and easy to read. The characters that K.G. Fletcher has created are wonderful they are real, relatable and very lovable.
Even though these books are part of a series, they can be read as standalone as in each book we follow new main characters on their journey through this book, but just to get a feel at how incredible these series is I’d recommend that you read in order. But with each book in this series, each one seems to be getting better and better.
In this read, we follow the journey and story of Jessica & Tim After meeting Jessica in Book 2 I’m so glad that I get to experience her story and her chemistry and connection with Tim grow. This book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion and has me feeling all the feels. They are relatable, real characters that I loved reading about. Their chemistry was undeniable and was inspirational and brilliant from the get-go.
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 just make this read better as a whole.
I cannot wait to see what else this author could bring for the series.
This is an incredibly captivating and compelling read that should not be missed, I highly recommend it!
Georgia Pine is the third book in KG Fletcher’s Southern Promises and by far my favorite! Having loved the first two books in this stand alone series so much, I went into Georgia Pine blind on the faith that regardless of what the book was about, I was sure to love it. I couldn’t have been more excited when I found out that this book was about Jessica and her family and I really couldn’t be more pleased with how the story played out.
Georgia Pine has everything I could hope for in a story, so heartwarming I felt like my heart was swelling at times, then the tears, there were definitely tears. As if the emotion in these pages weren’t enough, we can’t forget to take into consideration the passion between Jessica and Tim. The more I type, the more I wonder if 5 stars is even enough?
The characters, as I’ve come to expect with KG Fletcher’s writing, were strong and memorable. I mean in just the second book Jessica and her beautiful blond girls made a lasting impression! I loved how characters still tied into this story too even if the book didn’t seem as intertwined as the first two books.
I could sit here gushing over Georgia Pine forever so I’ll wrap it up, but I definitely recommend this book to anyone that loves a good, heartfelt romance.
This is the third book in this series and it keeps getting better and better. I loved how the characters are relateable and connectable. The chemistry between Jessica and Tim is off the charts. Problem is that Tim has a past and he is not so willing to open up to Jessica. Will Jessica wait for him to open up to her or is it too late? This story took me on an emotional roller coaster ride of various emotions that kept me going back for more. I highly recommend this book.
Georgia Pine, Southern Promises Book Three by KG Fletcher. I have read the first two book in this series and fell in love with these characters and this author’s writing.
We briefly met Jessica in book two and my heart broke for her, I was so glad to read her story and watch her find her happiness. Meeting and falling in love with Tim, was just the icing on the cake!!
Tim is definitely not who everyone thinks he is, but that just makes the story better. The chemistry between Jessica and Tim from the first time they saw each other was amazing, seeing how he treated and fell in love with her girls was the sweetest thing ever!!!
I absolutely loved this book and not only recommend this but I think you should read the entire series!!!! I can only hope and pray for more!!!
Georgia Pine is book 3 in the Southern Promises series and is by far my favorite! This story is about second chances and about never giving up. I love that while this book is part of a series it can be read as a stand-alone. Each story is about a different couple. Georgia Pine is about Tim and Jessica. Their first encounter is so funny to the mom in me. Who doesn’t need a self-imposed time out?! Having four children under 7 myself, this mom’s situation stuck a chord with me. Luckily my gardener was my husband! Sorry, I digress.
K.G. Fletcher has a writing style that keeps me entertained. While some parts of the story were clearly fictional, where a reader could escape, like surviving a divorce with enough money to not have to work or worry! Other parts hit home, making a reader able to relate to the characters, hiding away from an embarrassing situation. What a character Tim is! Big, strong, yummy, determined, dedicated Tim. And Jessica, sweet, caring, beautiful, funny…I may have a slight girl crush!
I enjoyed the ride these two take trying to get to their happily even after. Definitely recommend this book.
Georgia Pine (Southern Promises Book 3) by K.G. Fletcher
5++++++ Stars
WOW…This book deserves so so so many more stars than just the normal max 5!!
So this is my third read by this author, I’ve read the first two in this series and loved them, they were fantastic, but let me just say that this one……. Oh.Em.Gee!! Holy Emotions, and WOW!!!
After reading the first two it only took me a couple pages to remember and know who this book was about. I loved every single word and the storyline was out of this world fantastic.
What can I say about Tim, well I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he is now firmly and forever in my all time top 5 book boyfriends. He stole my heart in the first couple pages and he never let go.
“To fail is human, but it’s not fatal. It’s courage that counts.”
**sigh**
I kept looking at my reading speed while I went along and kept saying to myself..slow down you don’t want this to end and that was right from the start because you can just tell when a book is going to affect you that way. Then it happened…at about 75% in…my heart took a beating for the last 25% of this book, now don’t get me wrong it was awesome all the way to that point, the buildup was written perfectly..but then the ugly, breath catching, nose blowing eyes swelling crying began. The emotions this author brought out through this whole book, yea I felt them all.
I already want to read it again, heck I want to read them all again, they were all that good but Georgia Pine is no doubt my absolute favorite of the 3.
Not sure how she could ever top this but no doubt I will be first in line for anything this author writes.
Seriously people…Read this book, I’m not even kidding…Correction…Read them all!! You won’t be sorry!
The third book in the Southern Promises series is the best of the best. This book has it all from heart, family, love, secrets, passion and chemistry. Tim is a beast of a man hiding in plain sight, however he doesn’t expect his heart to be stolen by a Southern Belle and her four beautiful little girls. Jessica and Tim will be confronted with the fallout from secrets, judgement, jealousy and mother nature. Their story will captivate you, it will speak to not only your heart but your soul. Georgia Pine is a story as beautiful as nature itself and will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. It will make you ache for what these two have suffered at the hands of others, it will fill you with light, inspiration and the heat and the steam will have you smoldering. You will not only fall in love with Tim and Jessica but the four adorable little girls who will steal your heart. Have thoroughly enjoyed the journey of this series and must say I am not really ready to say goodbye to the three couples just yet.
A great read about acceptance. Jessica Kaufman has just finalized her divorce to her unfaithful husband and is struggling with parenthood when gardener Tim McGil comes to save the day. When he keeps returning to help look after her four girls, she grows attached to him. But can she put class differences aside and follow her heart despite what others may think?
A great read. Well developed plot. Well developed characters like Jessica trying to manage single parenting while struggling with her feelings or Tims rough exterior but caring and sweet heart underneath. Great supporting cast of fun friend like Elizabeth or the four girlsas curious and sweet children Rachel other their own personalities. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the sense of nature in the roses and trees full of vivid colour bright and beautiful. The only issue I would raise is that it was hard to understand the class issues if you’re not from America. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.
Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher
Four Stars
We all long for second chances and fresh starts. It’s human nature to want to do everything right and not fail. The author wrote a compelling story about trust, betrayal, love and forgiveness. At first I was skeptical about Tim. His emotional outburst over her asking him questions about his past seemed odd. He freaked me out because I didn’t know what his secret was. I tried to guess like Elizabeth did but I came no where close to what it was lol. Jessica is a boss mama. Four daughters and doing it alone. Even though she doesn’t work it’s still hard being a mom. That’s 24 hour care with no breaks. This book was well written and a great read. The emotional ups and downs were spot on because we all need a time out some days. Ok the name of this book is so wrong FYI. You will understand once you read why. Like it’s a bad joke but I get it.
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!
