Easily one of the best books I have read this summer. As always, K.A. Tucker does a fantastic job of creating strong, realistic, and likeable characters. Switching between the present and a summer 13 years ago, we learn the story of how Piper and Kyle met at summer camp. Piper is the heir to an empire while Kyle grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Over the course of he camp, Piper and Kyle fell in love, but a horrible accident happens, and Kyle disappears. Piper cannot stop thinking about Kyle. Out of the blue 13 years later, Kyle starts working in one of Piper's buildings, and the sparks start flying again. But can Kyle and Piper forgive each other and themselves to rekindle a relationship? Or will their pasts continue to haunt them?
I flew through this book! A couple of parts reminded me of other books that I read recently, but I guess that is bound to happen at some point? I would definitely recommend for a great summer read.

I love K.A tucker's romance novels and I really enjoyed this one!
I loved the different timelines & seeing the romance between these two characters come together and fall apart and come back together.
I also loved the camp setting! It was so fun watching them fall in love during the summer as camp counselors!

I didn't have any expectations when I went into reading this novel but if I did, my reading experience and enjoyment for this novel would have surpassed them all.

When it comes to the summer, I find that there's always this feeling of nostalgia that surrounds the season. That's half of the reason why I love to read books set in summer because there's something that is just so enchanting and charming about stories set in that season. It's a reminder of youth and all of the adventures that happened then but at the same time, reminds me to reflect and appreciate small (and big) moments in summer now. This novel captured all of those feelings and all of that nostalgia fully but again, at the same time brought the reader forward to how things can change over time.

Without a doubt, this may be my favourite read for the summer. If not a sole favourite, definitely a contender. I know I will be recommending this book all around. There's something about a romance and summer that just fits. Add on the trope of a 'first love' and I am set!

Some may possibly argue about the logistics or the reality of this story but I definitely was not one to nitpick through the details. It was a story about young love and whether it be realistic or not, I loved it.

After reading this, I want to go out and do a binge shop of K.A. Tucker's other novels. This was my first read of hers and I know it will leave a lasting impression. I'm looking forward to reading more from her and am restraining myself so I can make her novels last.

I LOVED this one. I read it in one shot and stayed up till 2:45 AM to finish it. K.A. Tucker has such an incredible way of not only telling a love story but creating a world where you care about everyone in the periphery as well. This book brought me right back to being 12 years old at Camp Rotary, my first sleep-away camp. All the butterflies, nervousness and excitement. It was so nostalgic weaving back in time to see Piper and Kyle's past unfold. Their love story is a slow burn, both in past and present but the build up was half of the charm. You'll find yourself flashing back to all of your own firsts as you follow through theirs. For lover's of romance who like getting sentimental - this one's for you! Make sure you grab your copy when it releases Aug 6, 2019! // ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

"I snap, because I'm feeling like a fool right now. A sixteen-year-old pining fool. A fool still in love. But, I have to accept that all I'm in love with is a memory."

Say You Still Love Me is a sweet, second chance romance. It's a story of firsts and one unforgettable summer.

Say You Still Love Me follows the story of Piper and Kyle. When we first meet up with Piper, we see that she's made quite a name for herself. She's prepping to take over her father's company and shares an amazing apartment with her two best friends. The downside, she's working in a man's world and has to try extra hard to prove that she's got what it takes to get the job done. Piper's life is filled with challenges, and little does she know that her world is about to get turned upside down one more time. A blast from her past just so happens to be the newest security guard of her office building. The boy who had all of her firsts and disappeared without another word. Now, she has to see him every single day. She's got a lot of unanswered questions, but can't get Kyle off of her mind. She's determined to make him own up to his actions, but only time will tell if she can handle what Kyle has got to tell her....

Say You Still Love Me was a quick and enjoyable read for me. I loved getting swept up in Kyle and Piper's story. I really enjoyed getting to see their past and seeing how Piper met her current roommates. Who would have known that one summer would not only break her heart, but provide her with long lasting friendships?

I really enjoyed the grown up version of Piper. While she still wanted to prove herself to her father and make him proud, she was much more mature and direct. She didn't hold back on what she was thinking and wasn't going to let anyone take advantage of her. And then we have Kyle. I absolutely adored him. He was the boy from the wrong side of town, who had a heart of gold. Even as an adult, his past still haunted him, but that didn't stop him from trying to be what Piper deserved. Sure, he made some bad decisions, but when I finally got all the answers, I had a better understanding of why Kyle acted the way he did. He wasn't perfect, and I think that made me love him even more.

As I previously stated, I really enjoyed getting to know Piper and Kyle. Not just as adults, but also as young adults. I loved seeing them fall for one another and then be reunited once again. The second time around, their story had more of a slow burn to it. Yes, they knew each other. Yes, the chemistry was still there. But, both of them were afraid to jump in with both feet and it really felt good watching them try to figure their feelings out.

Overall, I found this book to be a really enjoyable read. It entertained me and had me devouring all the words. I loved the bad bad/wrong side of the tracks vibe. Piper and Kyle couldn't have been more opposite, but somehow they just worked. The road to happily ever after for these two had quite a few bumps in the road, but I loved every single second of it. In the end, this story left me with a smile on my face and totally satisfied with the story of Piper & Kyle....

This is a second-chance romance about a hero and heroine who initially met at age 17 while working as summer camp counselors. Now Piper and Kyle meet again when Kyle starts working as a security guard in the office building owned by Piper’s father. I love second-chance romances and really enjoyed the past timeline chapters. Unfortunately the present day storyline didn’t captivate me the same way and it took a while for Piper and Kyle’s relationship to get going. Still, it was a solid contemporary romance with moderate steam level. I loved the author’s writing style so will definitely check out her other books.

Releases August 6!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Lord, but this book felt like a hefty heaping of nostalgia and a re-visit to my teenage self and those carefree summers of first love. That's where this story stands out for me. It was hard not to get caught up in those feelings as they rekindled between Piper and Kyle, and there were certainly moments that took my breath away here.

That said, it wasn't a perfect reading experience for me. I struggled a bit with the pacing. I found myself bored at times and skimming to move things forward. Then, just as quickly I'd be sucked back in, reading voraciously and feeling my heart connecting. It just wasn't consistent. And I didn't get enough from either Piper or Kyle to really FEEL their love story at the level I wanted to be feeling it. I felt a little bit on the outside looking in, and sometimes I was charmed and my heart went all aflutter. Other times I was impatient and wanting a deeper connection.

However, I did like the way the story unfolded. Flashbacks can be a tricky thing, but I enjoyed the time spent at Camp Wawa and the sort of authentic feeling of first freedom and first love. Set against present time as secrets were revealed and feelings were rekindled, there were definitely moments that stole my heart. There was definitely something special about this couple. It just didn't hit me as deep in the feels as I had hoped.

In all? It was a sweet second-chance romance with a few emotional twists along the way. There was lots to love here - a sort of nostalgic remembrance of simpler times, a lovely sisterhood that was fun and heartwarming, and a love story that stood the test of time. ~ Shelly, 3 Stars

What a beautiful chance love story. Piper and Kyle met at summer camp when they were teenagers. The two connected instantly and share an amazing summer in love. They had big plan to commute and see each other once school starts but in the end Kyle disappeared. Piper tried to connect but she never heard from him again. Piper gone on to become a VP for her father’s multibillion-dollar real estate development firm. Life suddenly throws Piper a loop when one day she showed up to work and Kyle is the new security guard at her building. He is all grown up and handsome as ever but to Piper’s disappointment he did not even remember her name. Can you ever forget your first love? Was Kyle new employment all a coincidence? The story was told between past and present. A rich girl and a guy from the wrong side of the track. I love the innocent crush and young love they got going on. It’s clear that they knew they are soulmate from the start. The more mature version of Piper and Kyle is super passionate and sexy. There is a little twist in the plot and hurdles to overcome but love conquers all. Over all, this was an enjoyable read. Angst check, swoony check, happy ending check. Beautifully written.

Piper has a privileged life, almost perfect. Until her mother decides to send her to a Summer Camp, the one she went to when she was young. Piper life will quickly changes when she meets Kyle, but it won’t last, will it?
Now, thirteen years later, Piper has the life she was meant to have and that summer with Kyle seems far away until she sees him again, and all the feeling that she carefully buried come back with full force.
Say you still love me is a different book, but it was a perfect read. We get not only a romance story but also a combination of a YA story and an Adult story. We get to see characters as teenagers and as adults and we get to know more about the story and how it developed.
I liked the characters, I liked Piper and I felt a connection with her and her personality. I really liked Kyle as well (he was dreamy!) and even the secondary characters, not Piper’s father, though.
The romance was just in enough quantity and I enjoyed the fact that it was not only about the love part but also about work and friendship. I had a huge knot in my throat when I read about Erik
I found the story to be sweet but also interesting, passionate but also funny and enjoyable. As I said, it was the perfect combination and it was a perfect read for a relaxing weekend with a glass of wine.
I’m becoming a huge fan of Kate Tucker and I sure won’t miss her upcoming books.

I need more Piper and Kyle in my life! I love how it was written, a chapter of present and a chapter of past. This book sucked me in from the very beginning and I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!

A sweet, nostalgic story of first love, summer camp, and second chances. The perfect romantic summer read.

Say You Still Love Me is exactly why I LOVE K.A. Tucker books. This story swept me up in the all encompassing love story between Kyle and Piper.

This is a story about first love and an all encompassing love. I loved how K.A. wrote this story. It is told in alternating time frames. We get a story in the past from when Piper and Kyle first met and then we also get them as adults in the here and now.

I think this story is perfect for all romance readers who love a second chance romance but also love to read about first love. Now even though I am talking about a first love, this book is an adult story and probably shouldn’t be read by someone under the age of 17. There are adults themes and situations.

Say You Still Love Me is K.A. Tucker’s latest standalone novel. It is told solely from Piper’s POV. I loved the flow and pace of this story. I thought the pace that Piper and Kyle’s relationship worked perfectly for them, both in the past and the present. I loved their story. I haven’t been this swept up into a story in a while.

As I said this story is about Kyle and Piper. They meet at summer camp, as counselors. Kyle has been a counselor for a couple of years and this is Piper’s first year. Her mom felt she should go to Camp Wawa for the experience. Kyle and Piper were from different sides of the tracks and have completely different upbringings. But the attraction was instant…almost like love at first sight. When something tragic happens at the end of the summer, Kyle and Piper are sent home and separated. Fast forward 13 years and color Piper surprised to see Kyle at her place of work. Can these two past lovers find their HEA?? What happens when Piper’s job and family try to interfere…can they make it work?? Read this sweet and sexy story to find out.

I loved all the secondary characters in this story. I almost wish we could see a story about a couple of them and see them get their HEA also.

I will say that I wish we would’ve gotten more out of the epilogue. I felt we were missing something. It felt kind of abrupt. I just wish when I was finished reading I would’ve gotten that feeling that their story was complete. I know this sounds weird and maybe it’s just me, but you’ll understand when you read it.

I would 100% recommend this book to all romance readers. If you are a fan of adult second chance romances, mature young adult first love stories, or just a story that will sweep you off your feet, this is the one to read. You won’t want to miss this book!! It’s a definite MUST READ!!!

KA Tucker is a contemporary romance genius. A staple. I can always count on her stories to entertain me, and this time was no exception.

I’ve stated this countless times, but I’m a sucker for second chance romances. And when I started this, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it after all. I completely misunderstood who the love interest would be. I thought Piper’s ex was a complete douche and had no want or need for them to reunite.

And then the flashbacks started.

Which, again, is one of my FAVORITE things about romances. I love alternating past and present books. This is one and it’s done so well. As per usual, you get the idea of heartache, something terrible that occurred, and more. But the build up is so intense because it takes longer to reveal those things.

I absolutely loved Piper and Kyle, past and present. It was just a fun relationship that we got to watch develop and re-develop. But ultimately, there’s still a secret lurking. More than just the reason Kyle disappeared 13 years ago.

There was also the lasting friendships, the family contention, etc to deal with. And, a huge obstacle in Piper’s path in relation to work. For a contemporary, there was a lot going on. But, Tucker did a fabulous job keeping it all interesting and perfectly paced.

I think my only “complaint” is the ending. I mean, it’s safe to assume it’ll be a HEA, but I could’ve used a little glimpse further into the future. Just to see where everyone ended up. And I think to make sure the most important piece was wrapped up and secure. Other than that, it’s a beautiful, fun story from a favorite author. One all of her fans will enjoy!

As always, KA Tucker wrote a book that made me smile, laugh, feel all the feels, and really think. Somehow she manages to write light hearted contemporary romance that also delivers quite an impactful punch. In this novel, she tackles the stigma behind a powerful woman falling in love with someone she loves rather than a man that is there only to "look good." I really loved this take and that she isn't afraid to bring all aspects to the table.

The only thing I didn't love about this book, unfortunately, was Kyle. While I did like him, I didn't swoon or love him as much as I have some of her other male leads. This brought the book down some for me. Piper, though, is a kick ass strong woman that managed to be both powerful and kind. I really liked her. KA Tucker does it again. I highly recommend this book and all her others.

It pains me to write this because I typically adore K.A. Tucker's books, but this one was a DNF for me. I am normally all about second chance romances, and I liked the summer camp concept. However, I couldn't connect with this story or the characters. There wasn't anything specific that I disliked; I simply couldn't get into the story. Perhaps I will try again at a later time, but until then I'm going to call this a case of it's not you, it's me.

Say You Still Love Me is the perfect summer read. It made me wish I had gone to a summer camp as a teen. It was a great blend of young love and adult romance.

Kyle and Piper met as camp counselors one summer when they were teenagers and it was love at first site. These two were from different sides of the tracks, but that didn’t matter to them. They fell hard and fast for one another. It was the best summer of Piper’s life until something happened that pulled the two of them apart. After that, Kyle sort of disappeared from her life. A decade passes and she doesn’t hear a peep from him. Until one day at work, she sees him…

I was confused to what Kyle’s motives were. It was apparent he was back in Piper’s life for a reason and even though I adored teenage Kyle, I wasn’t sure about adult Kyle. It didn’t take long to see that he was a good guy though, and very much there for Piper and her best interests. He’s always been there for her in some way or another, even if she couldn’t see it.

This book went back and forth with each chapter. One chapter would be Kyle and Piper’s time at camp, and the next chapter would be the present. There was a lot of build up to what happened that summer as well as the present. I couldn’t stop reading and as soon as I got invested in a time period, it would jump backward or forward. Even though it could be a bit distracting, I think overall it worked for this book. Parts of this book felt like a YA novel and the other half felt like a contemporary romance.

I really did enjoy the camp aspect of the book and watching Kyle and Piper fall in love. I also loved the current plot and watching them rekindle their romance. This book was very well written and character driven. It was so easy to get invested in the story of Kyle and Piper.

If you love second chance romance, books about first love, and books where the hero is from the wrong side of the tracks, pick this one up. KA Tucker always delivers. The writing was fantastic and this is one sweet and sexy romance you don’t want to miss!

Bottom line, K.A. Tucker is an auto-buy author for me. I love her writing. I love her characters. I love her books. So, it comes as no surprise that I loved her upcoming novel SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME.

It’s been 13 years since Piper and Kyle have seen each other. Not since they spent the summer as camp counselors when they were teenagers. Piper is now a high-powered executive at her father’s multibillion-dollar real estate development firm and trying to prove herself to her colleagues, and herself, that she deserves to be where she is. Things get all the more complicated for her when she runs into Kyle, a new security guard at her father’s firm and the boy who happens to be the first love of her life.

Alternating between that summer at camp and the present day, you learn what happened all those years ago and how that has molded both Piper and Kyle into who they are today. I loved the back and forth between timelines. It allowed the details of the past to be revealed in interesting ways and it made for an unputdownable read because I just had to know what happened! You also get the perfect mix of that sweet and all-consuming first love and a second-chance romance, with just a bit of mystery mixed in as it’s slowly revealed what really tore these two apart.

If you loved Love & Other Words by Christina Lauren or Who Do You Love by Jennifer Weiner (two of my personal favorites), I think you’ll love this one too! It releases August 6th and I’ll post a full review closer to pub day, but I encourage you to pre-order it because it’s seriously the perfect summertime read.

My first time reading from this author and won't be the last. I just devoured this book and finished it in a day. A great second chance love trope.

I kept seeing lots of readers talk about how much they loved K.A. Tucker's "The Simple Wild" (which I do still need to read), so when I saw that she had a new book coming out I knew I wanted to give it a try - and I was not disappointed! I read this book during some work travel and it was the perfect read for that.

Piper Calloway's life has a lot going on at the moment; she's just been made a VP at her dad's real estate firm to get her ready to take over from him. This also means she's left to deal with being a strong woman in a male-dominated field where she's questioned at every turn and has to work with her ex-fiance every day. As if all of that wasn't complicated enough, her first love from camp, Kyle Miller is now working in her building as a security guard. She hasn't seen or talked to Kyle since that summer and it seems he doesn't even remember who she is at first. But she quickly realizes that not only does she still have feelings for Kyle, but the same may be true for him.

This book was the perfect mix of sweet and emotional with some girl-power thrown in with Piper's work life. This story was told alternating between present day and flashbacks to Piper's summer at Camp Wawa. I was rooting for Piper and Kyle both as a couple and individually throughout the book and all of the ups and downs thrown at them. The camp portion of the book made me nostalgic for those high school summers and my own camp experiences (albeit very different from those in the book). This is the perfect summer read!

4/5 stars

I am a huge fan of KA Tucker and when she puts out a book I can guarantee a few things.... I will read it without reading the description and I will love the book! That was exactly when I did when I saw Say You Still Love Me on Netgalley and I did love it!

I love how this book goes from past to present, KA does it with such ease that I was never confused what time I was reading. KA writes second chance romance like no other. She adds enough drama and angst but just enough.

I will read anything and everything KA Tucker writes and I can also guaranteer that I will be sad when I am done.
