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 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!
I always find it interesting when there is an author that I come to enjoy. One of those is K.G. Fletcher and the Southern Promises Series. I was able to read Georgia Pine, and loved the fact that I was able to get lost within the pages of the book.
The storyline follows Jessica Kaufman, a recent divorcee, whom is left to handle life all to her own with her four young daughters. It also follows Tim McGill, who is a landscaper with secrets of his own. Together, they make for an interesting journey.
I really enjoyed the pull that both of these characters had towards each other. I fell in love with the way in which their relationship developed. I love seeing how an author grows and develops in their writing, and this is something that you can definitely see and enjoy with K.G. Fletcher. Definitely enjoyed the book, and can’t wait to read more! This was a definite 4 Stars Book for me!
Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher is the third book in the Southern Promises Series. Each book in the series just gets better and better. Jessica and Tim have some flammable chemistry that is very hot. Tim is not revealing his past to Jessica because it could cause problems. Is Jessica willing to wait till Tim is ready to share his past history?
The writing in Georgia Pine is engaging, flows and is very descriptive. It keeps you reading from the first page through the last. Georgia Pine takes you on a bumpy emotional roller coaster ride. The characters are well developed, very real and easy to connect with. I cannot wait to see what happens next in the series. I highly recommend Georgia Pine!
Georgia Pine, Southern Promises Book Three by K. G. Fletcher is amazing. Fletcher has a way of grapping you interest within the first couple of paragraphs and keeps you interested until you finish the book. The characters are fully developed, and scenery is just as beautiful as described by Fletcher. I can honestly say there is a little of Jessica inside me and when I can relate to a character like that the read is more enjoyable. Jessica is coming from a husband who is a tycoon realtor with her four children to be divorced raising her four young daughters by herself. Introducing Tim McGill who is her gardener who has a body that will not quit. However, Tim is carrying around a secret about his life in West Coast. Will this secret break the Jessica’s trust, or can this secret be over looked? Will Tim accept the package deal of Mother, 4 daughters and an ex-husband? Sit back and read Georgia Pine to find the answers.
Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher is book three of the Southern Promises series. This book can be read as a standalone but the first two books are so good you should just read them too. This book is Tim and Jessica’s story and I couldn’t put it down until I read the whole thing.
Jessica pictured her life being a certain way and a divorce is not what she pictured. As she’s coming to terms with what that means for her and her young children, Tim walks into her life and forges a bong with her and her daughters that she certainly wasn’t expecting. Jessica doesn’t realize though that Tim has a secret and isn’t necessarily who she thinks he is. Tim knows he needs to tell Jessica the truth but life has been much easier living where no one knows his true identity. He knows they are growing closer which only reaffirms what he knows he needs to do. Can Tim trust Jessica? Can they each open their hearts to something that might be great for them?
I absolutely loved this book. I loved witnessing the bond Tim was forming with Jessica’s daughters. I wasn’t expecting some of the events in the book but it just made it that much better. This book may have been my favorite of the whole series!
Georgia Pine by KG Fletcher is book 3 in the sothern promises series. I have read the other books in this series, but I think this was my favorite. The book had me hooked from page one, and I read it all in one day. The characters in this book became so personal and I was so sad when it ended. The bill kept me on the edge of my seat wondering whats going to Happen next. Another great book by KG Fletcher, I will continue to read anything this author writes. I give this bill a solid 5 stars.
Georgia Pine (Southern Promises #3) by K.G Fletcher is a beautiful romance story and that I really really enjoyed. This is book three in the Southern Promises series but can be read as a standalone. K.G’s stories flow nicely and her words enable you to picture everything that is going on and feel the same emotions as the characters. Georgia Pine is about two broken people coming together to find themselves again and breaking out of the stereotype that people cast them in. They are both trying to relearn their value as a person and within the world and when they do, boy do those sheets heat up with passion and steam. This story will make your heart melt and leave you wanting more. Another job well done K.G.

Georgia Pine is the third book in the Southern Promises series and it just keeps getting better and better. This is my favorite of the series so far and I couldn’t get enough of this book from the minute I started it. The main characters in this book are Jessica and Tim. And I absolutely adore them. Jessica is a strong beautiful southern woman who has 4 beautiful daughters. Tim like any good male in a romance novel is hot hot hot and I couldn’t get enough of him. I enjoyed the electric passion between them and I was rooting for their happy ending from the get go! I cannot wait to read more by this author and I absolutely would recommend this to a friend!!
And P.S. I LOVVVVVE THIS COVER!
Review by Anastasia D.
This series by K.G. Fletcher has quickly become one of my addictions! Each book gets better and better and this one is now probably my favorite! This book had all the feels and then some. It’s one of those books that will suck you in from the get-go and won’t let you up until the end (especially when you hit about the 75% mark).
I absolutely loved Jessica and Tim. Their connection was almost instant but it worked for this story. Neither one of them were looking for something series but they couldn’t deny the chemistry they had. Tim was a hero that I think ANYONE will fall in love with and I can identify with Jessica. That’s one thing I love about this author’s books, she creates characters that are realistic and easy to relatable.
The Southern Promises series has easily been my favorite series I have read lately and its one that should be on everyone’s must read!
