Southern Promises: The Complete Series (A Contemporary Romance Standalone Box Set) by K.G. Fletcher – Review by Liz Vrchota

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

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!
