This is not the first book I’ve read by this author, so I knew going in I would love the story, but did not expect what I got. What emotion and depth I got from this story. I love best friend to lovers but this was just a little different than I’ve read before.
This seems to be a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to see where we go with the rest.

Run to the Sea was a wonderful read by K G Fletcher and one that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. I really love this author and all of the books that I have read by her so far have all been wonderful reads. She has a writing style that is easy to read and her stories flow really well. She creates some amazing characters and Thomas and Emeline were no exceptions! I love a second chance romance and I absolutely adored watching these two characters come back together again and I was rooting for them to fall in love from the start! There were a few obstacles in their way but their story really had me hooked and I really grew to love then over their journey together. There were also some good supporting characters and I am really looking forward to reading more about them in the next book in the series!
Run to the Sea was a beautifully written story and one that I highly recommend!
Fletcher has without a doubt climbed into my heart and become firmly planted on my “read everything” list. This is another masterful, beautifully written story full of rich detail and wonderful characters. I loved every word, every page, and cannot wait to see how this series develops. Yet another story that stole my heart. *sigh*

Em is surprised to see Cappy after so many years. Seeing each other has caused some old feelings to rise. Em is now a painter and does some beautiful work. The more time they spending reminiscing the closer they get. Can these two possible reconnect and have something?
I really loved this story, my emotions were all over the place. There are some twists and turns as they go through the memories. Cappy was great, he was super sweet and a very sensitive man, he was feeling guilt for not staying in touch with his grandfather. Em was beautiful and talented. You could feel their connection coming right off the pages. K.G. Fletcher has once again pulled me right in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from this series.

Rated 4 stars
This is a good solid book. I enjoyed Emeline. She seems so carefree. Not like many women in today society. She dances to her own drum beat. When her Best friend shows back up in town she is elated. But he is not the same and now there are many years and secrets between them.
I loved that both of these characters were artists. I am in awe of people that have that type of talent. Drawing or expressing through paint would be awesome. I loved that he drew her through the years. I also loved what his grandfather did.
This isn’t my first book by this author. I like how she portrays her characters. They are very down to earth and relatable. The story moves along at a good clip and is nice and romantic.

Women can be the definition of the devil. The vindictiveness alone could kill you. Cappy finds his childhood friend and feelings that he thought long forgotten resurface. Em is a busy body. The type of person who has to be involved with everything and help everyone. Their reunion wasn’t all hearts and flowers though. Fiona is a spoiled brat. Her glee over Thomas and Em’s pain was too much. I understand a broken heart better than most. What she did was wrong on many levels. The author did really well with this story. I enjoyed learning about Cappy and Em.
Run to the Sea by K.G Fletcher is the first book in the Reigning Hearts series. I have read other books by Ms. Fletcher and enjoyed them all, but this might be my favorite one to date.
Emmeline and Thomas have such a sweet story. They started out as childhood best friends and then Thomas disappeared without a word. They run into one after quite a few years and they are both blind sided by the run in.
Thomas had lost who he was due to being blinded by an ambition to prove himself. This story is so much more than a romance it is also about someone rediscovering who they are and where they really belong with a little help from friends and family.
This is a series I’ll be keeping up with so I can make sure I don’t miss a single book.

Run to the Sea is the first book in the Reigning Hearts Series by K.G Fletcher. I love Ms. Fletcher’s books, so I was really happy to get my hands on this one.
We meet Thomas and Emeline who were childhood best friends- supporting each other through some difficult moments in their childhood. They talked about the future, sharing their hopes and dreams- but all that gets put aside when Thomas ends up working in New York City. He’s back in town after his grandfather’s death, which has resulted in Thomas inheriting a beach house. He soon runs into Emeline, and their past connection quickly comes bubbling to the surface- like all that time never passed and their bond is still strong. But there are hidden feelings- which takes them on an unexpected path. This is a great friends-to-lovers/second chances story full of rediscovery, choices, listening to your heart, trusting yourself, being true to yourself, and taking a chance.
The story is sweet, romantic, touching, and engaging. As I would expect from Ms. Fletcher, it is really well written, and the characters are quite endearing. I was hooked right from the beginning and read the story in one sitting.
I am looking forward to book #2!
Thank you, Ms. Fletcher!
Another wonderful story by this awesome author!!
This is a second chance romance story that kept me interested from the very first page. I don’t want to put it down! Thomas and Emeline are the main characters and I adored them. They grew up as best friends but as they go older feelings started to change. Can they make things work as a couple or are they destined to be just friends??
I loved this book and I am looking forward to reading more by this author!!
I would recommend this book to a friend!!
Happy Reading!!

Emeline and Cappy’s story..OH MY!
I fell in love with this author reading her Southern Promises Series, and by the way if you haven’t read that then go grab them, they are beyond awesome. I was so excited when I saw she had a new series out and I was not at all disappointed..Not sure if I can put in words what it is about this authors writing that draws me in and doesn’t let go literally till the end…I loved these people and the story about their bond as teens and how they came back together as friends dealing with the loss of a character who quickly became one of my favorites in this book. The scene with the box and the missing ring literally took my breath away and that’s when Pop completely won my heart.
I love how she transported me right into the story, I could see everything clearly and feel like I was right there in the same room with these people. I’m so excited to get my hands on the rest of this series, I loved Ginger in this story and can’t wait for Stars Fall From The Sky and completely curious as to how she is going to handle the Fiona story.
Grab this book, it is amazing and I’m sure you will love following Emeline and Cappy’s story as much as I did.
Awesome!!!
Run to the Sea (Reigning Hearts Book 1) by KG Fletcher is a contemporary romance featuring childhood friends that have been reacquainted. Years may have passed, but something remains lurking below the surface. The ultimate question is will fate lay their cards is the right order or will they be challenged to bring all the pieces together? Thomas and Emeline both are strong characters individually, but living different paths which become apparent in how they interact and the choices they make. KG Fletcher is an amazing author and always delivers quality storms with amazing characters and intriguing story lines. I look forward to reading the subsequent stories in this series and the antics, events, portrayals that the author will develop – anticipate them to be just as great as this story.
This book is everything a romance of this type should be. The story has old friends, good friends, mutual interests, angst, exploration, drama and some sexy times.
Well written with great character development, this story moves quickly, holds a lot of nostalgia, kept me engaged from beginning to end and had me feeling emotions I did not want to feel.
I recommend this book and this author. Five stars
Run To The Sea is the first book in K.G. Fletcher’s Reigning Hearts series. Having discovered K.G. Fletcher last year with the fantastic Southern Promises series, she has rapidly risen up my favourite author’s list so I was so excited that she was releasing a new novel. This book did not disappoint in the slightest. I LOVED it.
Run To The Sea is a beautiful second chance romance that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. The 2 main characters Emeline (Emmy) and Thomas (Cappy) are wonderful, I totally fell in love with both of them.
Cappy and Emmy were inseparable, best friends growing up, who then lost touch when Cappy moved away for college. The death of his beloved Grandfather has Cappy returning home to sort out his estate. Coming back home and seeing Emmy again makes Cappy evaluate his life and realise how much he hates his job and his life now. He’s so much happier and relaxed now and being with Emmy feels like where he belongs.
Cappy and Emmy’s story is beautiful and full of emotion. It also has a few twists and turns that you just don’t see coming. If 2 people are ever meant to be together then it’s Emmy and Cappy. This is definitely one of those books that I will read again. Well worth it’s 5 star rating!
the book was a masterpiece from the moment I started reading it captivated me.
Thomas was so tortured because of his grandpa’s death and he was feeling so guilty.
emily was so surprised to see her childhood best friend after a long time.
their relationship started at a slow pace and loved how the author did it. The characters are well written and I loved how Thomas was so nice and i felt his pain, the guilt and every feeling possible.
A fabulous book that you will love to read. An amazing book. I just couldn’t put it down. A must read xx
The beautifully written storyline and the wonderful characters kept me totally captivated as I turned each and every page of this must read book!
