Say You Still Love Me: A Novel

|Thank you to @atriabooks @netgalley and @katucker_ for the eARC #partner| . Piper and Kyle meet as summer camp counselors at Camp Wawa. They have an impassioned teenage summer romance that's driven by hormones and filled with promises to stay together after the summer is over. Unfortunately, their summer fling doesn't survive the return to real life. Piper is devastated, heartbroken, and left wondering what went wrong when Kyle doesn't contact her after the summer is over. 13 years later, Piper sees Kyle in the lobby of her office building. The emotions from their summer together come rushing back and she can't help wanting to reconnect with Kyle. As she continues to encounter him around the office, Piper realizes that her feelings for Kyle are still alive and growing stronger. She's determined to figure out what brought him back into her life and if there's any hope for a relationship after all the time and events that have passed. . Say You Still Love Me is told in a dual time line switching back and forth between summer 2006 and present day. I love the way this worked for this story. Reading how Piper and Kyle met and fell in love at summer camp brought back so many memories of my own summer camp adventures. K.A. Tucker wrote the feelings, thrills, and nerves of young love so beautifully that it truly felt like I was going through it again. Not only that, but Piper and Kyle get a second chance at their romance 13 year later so the reader gets to fall in love with and through this couple twice in the same novel. . If you ever went to summer camp or wish you went to summer camp, this story will take you (back) there. If you ever experienced first love, you'll relive it through the Piper and Kyle. If you love a swoony love story that will make your heart leap and drop like it's on a roller coaster, you'll love this book. When I finished Say You Still Love Me, I flipped it over and immediately started reading it again -- it's THAT good. It's an extraordinary story that will take you on an enchanting summer adventure full of heart and second chances. I loved this book!

I love a good second chance romance. This one had me in my feelings with a similar relationship with the financial totem pole. Sometimes the heart wants what it wants. There’s a plan even if it’s not the plan we have chosen. This book is written in present and past with Piper from a well off family with her eventually taking over her father’s company. Kyle doesn’t come from a finally well off family. His family has made questionable choices which, in turn, make him question himself about ever being enough. They meet 13 years prior at Camp Wawa. They are both counselors that are well-loved. Like most teenagers, they get into mischief. This book also gave a lesson of being responsible. All choices have a consequence. Current, Piper is working for her father’s company with a new position to show she can take over for him, eventually. He’s a hardcore man that only wants the best for his company and daughter. Kyle isn’t it. Kyle gets a new job which gives piper the shock of the year. It’s been 13 years and things haven’t changed. I love that they earned their HEA, but I wish we got a little more at the end. I feel it was an abrupt ending.

Say You Still Love Me is a second chance romance that follows Piper, a twenty-nine year old vice president to her father’s multimillion dollar company, as she meets her teenage love Kyle again and reminisces on their time together. What I like: I thought the book overall was very sweet. Seeing Kyle and Piper grown up while also seeing them as teens was very well done. I liked the teenage romance. It was cute and it had me smiling while reading. I was cheering them on. The writing is so well done. I love K.A. Tucker’s writing style a lot; it’s so descriptive and immersive. She did a good job transitioning between the current times and the past. I liked secondary characters a lot, and seeing them grow up between the flashbacks and current times. What I didn’t like: It felt like two books. One supposed to be NA/adult with more complex themes of the business world and money. The other felt like a YA summer camp novel. While they were put together nicely, it was a different experience each time going back and forth between them. The plot of the adult was less romance focused than the summer camp plot. I wish there was more in depth about Piper and Kyle’s rekindling

Wow!!! Another absolutely amazing read from K A Tucker!! I will be reading many many more! These books grab you instantly!

3.5 Rounded to 4 because I like the author Piper Calloway and Kyle Miller have a history, one filled with stolen kisses, a summer of young love and a future filled with hope. Until the summer ended and Kyle just disappeared. Thirteen years later he mysteriously reappears in the building Piper's family owns and where she works. Why is he here after all these years? Why did he break her heart and abandon her? She's determined to find out. I absolutely loved The Simple Wild and Wild at Heart so I was looking forward to another fun romance filled with heartfelt and teary moments BUT I just didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Don't get me wrong...it's a cute story. The writing is good. The setting is good. I loved the camp scenes and young love timelines and actually wish it was more about that time as I didn't enjoy the present timeline much. Overall I just had a hard time with the whole rich girl meets poor boy from the wrong side of the tracks that daddy of course doesn't agree with and so comes the heartache and misunderstandings ... BUT for those that love that type of romance trope this book will definitely work for you and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I loved this story. Great characters. Believable chemistry. I loved the flashbacks too. A perfect read.

2.5 stars Well, I started reading this book with huge expectations because I really enjoyed Be the Girl by Tucker. Unfortunately, this book just did not click for me. Piper is about to take over the reins of a multibillion-dollar real estate firm from her father. However, she has to still prove herself in the male-dominated society. Things get all the more complicated for Piper when she runs into Kyle Miller - the new security guard of her firm. 16-year-old Piper and 17-year-old Kyle had met at a summer camp and they clicked the minute they saw each other. However, the fact that Piper is filthy rich and Kyle comes from a family of convicts always casts a shadow on their relationship. Nevertheless, Piper is confident that things will work out between them. Unfortunately once the summer camp is over Kyle does not contact Piper and it breaks her heart. After being incommunicado for nearly 13 years Piper is confused as to why Kyle has reappeared in this life again. Is it a coincidence or he still has feelings for her? First of all, I'm not too fond of books with two timelines, while it has worked for some of the books, for this one it was a complete no-no. It simply reinforced the reasons why I hate dual timelines. I felt that so many details on campus life were not required and I got impatient and bored. Further, I never found any inclination from Kyle to give his 100% to the relationship. All I could feel was his skepticism. I doubt how long such a relationship can sustain where one party is willing to work hard for it and the other party is reluctant. I really did love Piper’s parents, especially her father. I loved the way he believed in her and always felt she was more than capable of handling the job. However, the story simply did not speak to me. I just wanted it to get over. Having read my share of romance books, I thought this book was a huge disappointment. Clubbing it under the “ Ok if you don’t read” kind of book.

I love me some K A Tucker and “Say you still love me” is right up there, although can I just say that nothing quite does it for me like “Until it fades” particularly, but also “The simple wild”. Second chance romance isn’t my favourite trope that’s probably part of the reason I haven’t 5 starred this book, but also I found myself at 80% skimming a little. I want to say that I wanted to get to IT as in the vital bit of info, but truthfully it was a little suspense-y and I don’t do suspense well. Great story, great characters, great book!

Awesome story. I highly recommend this book as I couldn’t stop reading it and I didn’t want o out it down even to go to sleep. A true love story. A must read as all KA Tucker’s books have been.

but quite a few (except her paranormal stories) and this one is my absolute favorite! I loved it from the first page and found it was the perfect summer read! I recommend her books <3
