Georgia Pine (Southern Promises #3) by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Ashleigh Whitwell

Georgia Pine by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Georgia Pine is the third instalment in the contemporary romance series, Southern Promises. I had high expectations after reading the first two books in the series, but this was so much better than I ever imagined. After the first two chapters I found I was completely hooked and could not put this book down. As a result, I had a wonderfully lazy Saturday afternoon with Jessica and Tim and am feeling thoroughly satisfied!

This book completely surpassed all of my expectations for it. I was expecting an easy-reading romance story but what I got was so much more. I knew pretty early-on that I was going to like the story, but after my first 45 minutes of reading, I realised this was a story I was going to love. I connected with absolutely everything; the character, the story, the writing. So I settled down with a cup of tea and a blanket and threw myself in for a couple of cosy hours reading.

Jessica and Tim have become one of my favourite couples of 2018. I like they both individually and as a couple, which is not always the case for me; I tend to like one character more than the other! They are both such strong characters, in different ways, and I think this is why I like them so much and formed such a strong connection with them. Jessica hasn’t let her recent relationship woes affect her and instead, has thrown even more into raising her four girls. As far as child characters go, these are the best I’ve seen written in a long time. They were believable and likeable, whereas so often young characters can become annoying and whiny. Reading the scenes where Tim interacted with them were some of my favourite, and made him even more attractive! Tim has his own demons, but he doesn’t let these come between his relationship with Jessica. I love how in control he is but also that he can show his more sensitive and vulnerable side. Together, these two make a pretty formidable pair!

As well as the exciting plot, dangerous ending and brilliant leading characters, Georgia Pine also has some fantastic supporting stars. As I’ve already said, the children in this book are wonderful. Equally as interesting is Jessica’s best friend Elizabeth, who had me laughing out loud with her crazy questions about Jessica’s new relationship with Tim. It was also fun to read about Jessica’s parents, whom I was not a fan of at the start of this read!

If not already clear, I absolutely loved this book. It is my favourite in the series so far and it has me super excited for whatever might come next. I already want to do a re-read of the whole series, but especially Georgia Pine. I know I will be recommending this to friends, so if you haven’t already considered it, I’d encourage you to buy this book now!
