Southern Promises: The Complete Series by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 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!
