She 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.

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.

Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Stand-alone Box Set) by K.G. Fletcher is a collection of brilliant books by an amazing author. This is one of those box sets that I can easily say I have enjoyed each and every one of the books. I was hooked from the moment I started reading the first book and absolutely had to finish the series.
I loved the characters. They were so engaging and relatable. I found myself backing them and desperately wanting them to find a way to make things work.
This author has one of those writing styles that I just fall into so easily. The stories are always so well developed and each has its own distinctive voice! I loved all of these books and would highly recommend them!
Southern Promises: The Complete Series
By K.G Fletcher
5 stars
I have reviewed each of the stories in this box set separately. They were all wonderful reads!
Georgia Clay
Ahhhh this story absolutely stole my heart and ran away with it! This is the first book that I have read by this author and will definitely not be the last. Her writing was so beautiful and I loved every second of this book! If ever a book gave me all the feels it was this one! I don’t think I have rooted for two people as much as I did Clay and Katie for a very long time!!
I really liked Clay; he wasn’t at all like I anticipated when I first started the book. Although he was famous he didn’t have that arrogance that some stars do. I loved the connection between him and Katie. She was really sweet and a little naïve. I absolutely adored the moments between these two characters, I really could feel all of the emotions that they did and that is down to the wonderful writing by the author.
Along with Clay and Katie were some great secondary characters. They really added something extra to the story.
Georgia on my Mind
I loved Hart and Gia’s story, I may not have got into it as quickly as Clay and Katie’s but once I did I was in love and hooked! This author really does create wonderful characters and I love her descriptive writing. I really felt like Hart and Gia were just perfect for each other. I really love this author’s way of creating characters, for me in this story it was Hart! I really felt like I could feel everything he did, I could feel his pain but also his joy at times. I really liked Gia too, I thought that she was a really strong character and I found myself just really wanting the best for her.
Georgia Pine
This book was just wow. I’m not sure I can actually find the words to write this review about this book. I have read the first two books in the series and I loved them, I really did but this one was just outstanding. The author has truly outdone herself, I was hooked from the very first page it was just so beautifully written. The words just flowed seamlessly and it was such an easy effortless read. I really want to read it all over again!
The characters were fantastic, Jessica and Tim were perfect! They had passion, chemistry and a great connection. I kind of loved that it wasn’t all plain sailing and there were some obstacles that they had to overcome because it made me want them to find happiness all the more! Having met Jessica and her four girls in book 2 I was really looking forward to seeing more of them in this book. I wasn’t disappointed with Jessica and Tim’s story at all. There were some twists in the story as I have come to expect from this talented author.
This is a fantastic boxed set and I would 100% recommend it!!
If you are looking for a feel good, romantic series with southern charm, tons of heat, sassy heroines, and hunky men… pick this up now!!!! I don’t know if I can pick my favorite of these books. Georgia Clay, Georgia on My Mind, Georgia Pine – each of these books is phenomenal. They standalone easily but have characters that do make appearances across books. I promise once you read one you will want to read them all. This box set is the perfect answer. I read all of these books in one sitting and can’t say enough about Fletcher’s writing style. Love every word, every page. This series is a must read and Fletcher has proven to be a one-click author.
Southern Promises: The Complete Series: (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set)
Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises series. 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.
Georgia on My Mind is the second book and I think I liked it a bit more than the first. There was just something about Gia and Hart that drew me in from the very start.
Hart was an immature playboy who to me acted like the world owed him. Thankfully he gets taught a very important lesson and finally decides to grow up and be the man his parents raised him to be.
Gia’s back story just made me sad. She has been through so much and she was busting her tail to hold on to the happy part of her childhood.
Georgia Pine is the third book. I loved this book. There was something amazingly sweet and special about Jessica and Tim’s story.
I got tired reading this book and how Jessica kept up with four little girls aged six and younger. I was a single Mom with just one daughter and she wore me out couldn’t imagine having four daughters.
Tim reminded me a little of my husband, he jumped in and was instantly part of the family. It takes a special man to get involved with a single Mom and Tim was just that.
I hope we see more books in this series. I’m not ready to let this group go.

Book 3: Georgia Pine
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 entire series and I only wish there was more!!!
This was a wonderfully entertaining series to read.
These books just kept getting better.
love the way KG Fletcher writes. she brings alive the story and writes such wonderful characters.
This is the box set you need to get.
A must read
I was given an ARC… I voluntarily chose to review
I just love when one of my favorite authors takes a favorite series of mine and combines them into one sweet neat package box set. I love sharing these with friends for gifts and this makes it so convenient when I can give them the first three books in a series all at once. When I found out Southern Promises would be put into a box set, well the first three in the series anyway, I was super excited to get my hands on a few of these. These books are sweet and fun as well as full of meaningful story lines and beautiful backdrops for the amazing cast of characters we get to meet. I have included my individual reviews for each book below.
Georgia Clay (Southern Promises, #1)
I was completely swept away with this novel from KG Fletcher. I honestly had no sense of time or consciousness outside of the world that was being built around Clay and Katie as I was reading. I am dying for more and anxiously await the second installment in this trilogy. If you are new to Fletcher like I was, then you can go and catch some of her other novels while you wait.
Georgia Clay has it all; the hot successful song-writer male love interest, a strong willed and determined woman with a heart of gold waiting to be loved, music, and a story line to die for. I am always a mega-fan of novels that incorporate music into the story and this one ups the ante on the game. Not only in there a playlist available to enjoy, but and ORIGINAL song made for this book, written by Fletcher! It accompanies the vibrant backdrops of Nashville that Clay brings to life and elevates the love story with each and every song.
I will not spoil the plot too much here for you, because that would be a tragedy but I will share a little about Clay and Katie…
Clay Watkins has a knack for writing amazing songs. He has written several number one songs in fact. He is in a good place in his life, minus the right person to share it with. He attends his ten-year high school reunion with the goal to run into his old crush, Katie.
Katie is one strong and successful woman. She has flourished as an insurance broker and her job is basically her life. Relationships with anyone that go anywhere are something that doesn’t really fit in with her work schedule or ethic. Katie’s best friend decides she needs to go to this reunion and get out a little. When she runs into Clay she gets more of a reunion than she bargained for.
Will the two be able to chase this feeling that envelopes them that first night they are reunited? Can it withstand the stresses of distance and life that is put on it? You will enjoy every moment of this sweet, sweet, love story. I can’t wait to see what will come next!
Georgia On My Mind (Southern Promises #2)
Georgia on My Mind is the second installment in the Southern Promises Trilogy from KG Fletcher. Much like the first in the series, this one is a sweet and emotional love story woven around some amazing music.
We get the hot, hot, hot story of Gia and Hartford, Hart, in this novel. These two have a sizzling hot chemistry that will ignite you as you read their story. Fletcher weaves the romance around intrigue and drama that makes the story so relatable and easy to devour.
We first met Hart as just Katie’s brother from the first novel, Georgia Clay. Hart has had to move home after a situations that tore his life to bits. He is tasked with house sitting for his sister and deciding what he will do next with his life. Enters Gia. She is a big personality that was so much fun to read. Hart decides that helping Gia will be his next step in life, no matter how much Gia may want to turn down his help. When the flames ignite will the two have a chance at a long-lasting future together or will there be other directions in the cards for them? Can they reach a happily ever after together?
I was not as into this story as much as the last one, but I did love it. I am anxious to see what will come next in the final book of the trilogy. I hope that it isn’t too long of a wait!
Georgia Pine (Southern Promises #3)
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 and 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!
Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set)
By K.G. Fletcher
5 out of 5 stars
This is an amazing box set. It has three stories that pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. Each story has wonderful main characters that I loved reading about. There is chemistry/attraction between them that is undeniable. There is romance, sparks and passion. Will Katie and Clay, Hartford and Gia, as well as Jessica and Tim get an HEA? Read these stories to find out. The books had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading them. I enjoyed the bantering/flirting that goes on between the main characters. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interact with them. The stories have scenes that will tug at your heart as well as ones that are romantic and make the temperature in the room rise. I highly recommend reading these books.
5 Stars
Southern Promises: The Complete Series: (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set) by K.G. Fletcher.
When I noticed that this series had released as a box set, I knew I needed to reread them!! I loved these books individually, so this box set is a really fantastic opportunity to get three fantastic books for one great price. This is such a wonderful contemporary romance series, with three beautiful stories which could be read as a standalone- but why would you want to stop at just one?
The series comprises of:
-Georgia Clay (Book #1) – A Friends to Lovers Romance
-Georgia On My Mind (Book #2) – An Opposites Attract Romance
-Georgia Pine (Book #3) – A Second Chance Sports Romance
Here are my individual reviews for the books to give you a little snippet of what you can expect from the books:
GEORGIA CLAY (BOOK #1)
Georgia Clay is the first book in the Southern Promises Series by K.G Fletcher.
This story is sweet, spicy, emotive, romantic, and so well written. I loved Clay and Katie, they really were made for each other. I also loved the music theme woven through the story. I’m not a huge country music fan, but I can appreciate it- but after reading this story and then listening to the song at the end of the book, I can honestly say I wanted to go to Nashville and hang out.
Katie Parker is a successful Insurance Broker who lives to work. She loves her job and has worked hard to climb the corporate ladder and make a name for herself in the industry. She hasn’t had much luck in the relationship department, preferring to put her time into her work instead. She rarely takes time for herself, but dreams of one day travelling to far flung places. The story starts when she is on a rare night out to attend her 10-year high school class reunion. Katie’s really only going because her best friend Stacey wouldn’t let her back out. She’s certainly not expecting to bump into someone who takes her breath away.
Clay Watkins is an award-winning song writer, with numerous hits under his belt. His song writing has proven to be very lucrative and he’s sitting pretty. Clay is only attending the reunion in the hope of seeing Katie again. He had a huge crush on her in high school and he’s curious to see her again. When these two reconnect, they spend a wonderful night under the stars that neither would soon forget. But, they both have commitments that will take them in different directions, could they make a long-distance relationship work? You really should read this fabulous book for yourself, it is a real ‘feel good’ story.
When I got to the end of this book, I discovered ‘the’ song mentioned in the story really exists! I found out that Ms. Fletcher wrote the song herself and sang on the recording! She’s one talented lady. A fantastic author, a beautiful singer AND an amazing songwriter!! There is a link at the end of the book to listen to “What Would Happen If”…
This is the book that started my K.G Fletcher addiction… and the series only gets better from here!!!
GEORGIA ON MY MIND (BOOK #2)
5 Stars
Georgia On My Mind is the second book in the Southern Promises Series by K.G Fletcher. I am really loving this sweet, romantic series! The first book was sublime, but this book is even better! It is an erotic, funny, emotive, and romantic story that had me hooked right from the beginning. It was so easy to read and very easy to love. Gia and Hartford (Hart) are wonderful, complex characters that grabbed me immediately and pulled me into their story….. And what a really great story it is! Full of spicy, sexy details that sizzled off the pages- with secrets, lies, regrets, and drama- adding even more interest to this fabulous story.
Hartford Parker is Katie’s brother (Georgia Clay Book #1) who has moved back to town after a scandalous situation left his life in tatters. He’s been house-sitting at his sisters’ home, while she is away on tour with her boyfriend, licking his wounds and trying to figure out his next move. He is a little lost and doesn’t know what to do to get back in ‘the game’. The last thing he expects is to have his drive and determination reawakened by an incredibly beautiful Marilyn Monroe impersonator. A simple cup of coffee with this stunning woman turns his world on end. The more he gets to know her, the more he wants to help her. She’s incredibly independent, but he’s determined to help her no matter how much she might object. Will meeting Hart be the beginning of a bright future for Gia, or will a terrible mistake cost her this chance at love?
Brilliant!!!
Bring on Book #3!!!
GEORGIA PINE (BOOK #3)
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!!!
So- what are you waiting for, grab yourself a copy of the box set and dive in- you won’t be disappointed. But, be prepared to develop a K.G Fletcher addiction- the series is just that good, you will soon be looking for more of Ms. Fletcher’s work to devour.
Love really does win out in the end!
Can’t wait for more from Ms. Fletcher!!!
Happy Reading!
Thank you, K.G Fletcher!
So excited to see this amazing romance series together in a boxed set! KG Fletcher has become one of my go-to romance authors whenever I’m in the mood for a feel good romance with a ton of heart and the perfect amount of steam.
Although I love all three books in this series, my favorite book is Georgia Pine. It just pulled at all the right strings. And the cover was off the charts sexy. I mean, who doesn’t like a story about a sexy sports star?
Totally recommend this series!
This 3 Book Box Set kept me glued to my kindle as I read each and every book in this must have collection! Each book was well written with characters that were so well created that I was totally captivated as I read each book in this wonderful box set!
Southern Promises: The Complete Collection is a box set which contains the 3 full length novels which make up the Southern Promises Collection by K.G. Fletcher. These novels are:
1. Georgia Clay
2. Georgia On My Mind
3. Georgia Pine
K.G. Fletcher was a new author to me when I read Georgia Clay and I can now say that she’s up in my list of top authors now. I’m now a huge fan of her writing. One thing I ensure now when reading her books is that I have tissues available as they are usually required.
Georgia Clay
Katie and Clay meet again at their high school reunion 10 years after leaving high school. Katie remembers Clay as a very quiet, shy boy who only came alive when he sang at a school concert. Clay had a huge crush on Katie at high school. Now Katie is very successful in her job in insurance and Clay is now an award winning singer songwriter in Nashville. Both of them are so busy with their careers that there is no room in their lives for any social life or for romance. However Clay realises that his crush on Katie has not gone away and Katie is definitely attracted to Clay.
This is a very well written romance novel with fantastic characters that you can connect with and will fall in love with. I have to admit that Clay is an awesome character. He’s got everything you would want in a man. He may still be quite a shy person but he’s a totally different animal in the bedroom. There are some rather steamy encounters between our 2 main characters. Of course, the path to true love never runs smoothly and there are some obstacles in the way. How will Katie and Clay overcome these and get their HEA?
Georgia On My Mind
Our hero in this book is Hartford Parker, brother of Katie who was the heroine of book 1, Georgia Clay. Hartford, or Hart as he’s better known, is living at his sister’s house in Atlanta, having been fired in disgrace from his high powered job. At a friend’s birthday he comes to the rescue of Gia Bates who is the Marilyn Monroe party entertainer. There’s an instant chemistry between the 2. Gia is struggling to keep her dance studio business afloat and is working as an impersonator to earn extra cash.
I really loved both of these characters. Gia is so head strong and will do everything to keep her business from going under. I loved her grit and determination. Hart is an adorable guy who just wants to everything he can to help her.
Georgia Pine
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.
This is a box set that has three awesome stories that will warm your heart as well as your night. They are stories about going from friends to lovers, how opposites attract and how fate can give you a second chance at love. I loved each book and the characters are just as loveable. I found myself easily connecting to them. What more are the hot, steamy men in them. They are fast paced stories that will draw you in right from the beginning and keep you engaged to the end. They are stories that are written with heart and will keep you turning pages. I highly recommend this box set and this author.
Southern Promises: The Complete Series: (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set)
By K.G. 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 songwriter. 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 on My Mind is book 2
In the Southern Promises series,
while I really did enjoy this book I have to say so far book one is my favourite. I do think Georgia on my Mind did follow from Georgia Clay quite nicely. Can you read this as a standalone?

Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set) by K.G. Fletcher
5++++++++++ Stars
This set contains 3 books that sit up in my top 10 series list of all time. This is where I began reading this author’s work and fell in love pretty quick. I’ve since read her others and literally just wait for the next book she comes out with. Here is my breakdown per book in this series.
Georgia Clay –
This is my first book by this author and I have fallen in love!!! I am a country music fan anyway and have always wanted to take a week or two and tour Nashville, and this book made me want to make that dream come true even quicker.
Katie and Clay met in High School and he always had a crush on her yet never told her. They meet again at their 10 year High School reunion and their connection was immediate. I think I loved the most how they started with building their friendship and then it progressed into more. I also loved the long distance part of the story and seeing how although not easy it can work.
This was just an all around awesome book, and her character development was spot on even with the secondary roles.
Georgia On My Mind –
I Loved this book!! I loved the first one as well but I think this one is my favorite. You could absolutely read this as a standalone, but dont…The first one Georgia Clay is completely awesome and those characters are in this book as well 🙂
This storyline was amazing, you take 2 broken people who just want to be happy but can’t seem to escape their pasts and you have all sorts of emotions while reading. I had all the feels while reading this story and there were times I just didn’t know what was going to happen. Hart and Gia were both such great people yet made some not so great decisions that almost ruined their lives. Can they get past these and find hope, love and happiness with each other?
Georgia Pine –
WOW…This book deserves so so so many more stars than just the normal max 5!! I loved the first two in this series, they were fantastic, but let me just say that this one……. Oh.Em.Gee!! Holy Emotions, and WOW!!!
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. 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.
Seriously people…Read this series, I’m not even kidding…You won’t be sorry!
This author has become an automatic one click for me..Her writing style is spot on and the way her stories flow you just get started and then the next thing you know you’re done.
I already want to read them all over again…and again! I also want the paperbacks so this series can sit on my shelves next to the rest of my favorites.
WOW!!
This series is AMAZING!
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!
LOVED Georgia On My Mind! Hartford and Gia’s stories are so unique. I was addicted to finding out more about them and seeing how they came together. I’m excited to read Georgia Pine, Book 3!
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!
This is a brilliant, entertaining collection boxset of stories. They are well written, entertaining, and enjoyable. I loved KG’s writing style and how she brought each character to life. Each story is wonderful on it’s own and as a collection they are a definite must read.
Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set) is a present from K.G. Fletcher to her readers! You get all the books of the series in one go! I love when the writers do that with their series and generally when they have sets then I go for them and lose myself for hours and hours and hours … like with Southern Promises.
We have three standalone full-length contemporary romances filled with true Southern men and women with Southern Promises.
The first book is Georgia Clay that is a friends to lovers romance that gives us Katie and Clay who meet up at their ten year high school reunion. I guess we all have this one person from our youth that we feel ‘what if’ about so the writer is taking us down to one of them when bringing together a successful songwriter Clay and insurance executive Katie. In addition to Katie and Clay there are couple of more secondary characters that made the story pop even more!
The second book Georgia On My Mind is a sweet romance story that feels real as Gia and Hart feel real and you are sticking close to them while they give you a run for your money! Both of them have their own demons and secrets, both of them are easy to relate to and both of them demand you root for them! It is a great story of how you can find your dreams again and there is light at the end of a long and hard day … even when you get so overwhelmed with the daily struggle …
The third book 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!
I hope there will be more books in the series as I am not ready to leave our gang yet!
