K.A. Tucker is one of my favorite authors. There is so much to love about her books and this one is no different. I loved the summer camp premise, I loved the forbidden past love, and I loved the strong woman Piper was in her adult life as CEO. The story has a solid plot and was a quick and enjoyable read.
Critiques: The side characters could have been stronger. Why was Crista so disgruntled? How are Piper and Crista friends now? Saying, "she changed a lot" didn't give enough information and it didn't seem like they had any connection. All of the relationships as adults were lacking a lot of the humorous banter between friends. Kyle as an adult was missing a personality. We got to see a lot of who he was as a teenager, but I just didn't see how he and Piper connected as adults besides their chemistry. They didn't have great conversations between each other and besides talking about babies, they didn't share similar aspirations. I think that piece is crucial to believing in them.
Overall, I did enjoy Say You Still Love Me and I highly anticipate more stories to come from Tucker. Thank you net galley and Simon and Schuster for the opportunity to read the ARC.
Positive post coming today on instagram to line up with yesterdays publication day.

SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME is not the first book I've ever read by K.A. Tucker and it certainly won't be the last. She has a way of intertwining lives and making you feel like you have a front row seat into their story. Piper Calloway comes from a well to do family and her mom sends her to summer camp to teach her a life lesson. Piper doesn't want to go and tries to talk her mom out of it. Her mom went to the same camp when she was younger and puts her foot down. Piper is going!


SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME is filled with so many different things such as family drama, love, forgiveness, second chances, and hope. Fast forward, thirteen years later and Piper is the new senior Vice President of her Dad's multi billion dollar real estate development firm. This story is told in the THEN and NOW and captures the reader's attention from the start. Piper makes friends with Christa and Ashley as well as Eric and Kyle. Kyle and Piper find an instant connection and soon they spend every minute of that summer with each other when ever possible. When an accident happens at camp, they are sent home and Piper is crushed. She never hears from Kyle again.


SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME is a well written novel that hooked me from the very first page.
I do not want to tell too much because I don't want to give anything away, but while reading, I felt every possible emotion I could think of and loved every minute of it! There is so much going on in this story, but K.A.Tucker does a wonderful job of weaving all the pieces together. When Piper spots Kyle again after thirteen years, her heart breaks all over again. She realizes her feelings for Kyle haven't been buried like she thought. When a big secret comes out, it changes their lives once again! It's a huge one too and I found myself holding my breath while reading!


Overall, SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME is a book I can say nothing but fantastic things about. There is so much heart in K.A.'s writing that I was left with a huge smile on my face and my heart, very happy. All of the characters are very interesting and believable, so much so that I felt as if I've known them for a long time. I look forward to reading Ms. Tucker's previous books I haven't gotten to yet as well as her future ones.


I received a complimentary copy of this book from Atria Books through Netgalley. All opinions expressed are my own and were voluntarily given.

Ahh, another lovely Tucker book. This is one of her sweeter romance type books that always leave my heart feeling light and happy. I love the alternating between now and then and how Tucker wove them together so well, telling the story of first love and second chances.

A beautifully written, second chance romance with all of the elements that make K.A. Tucker books so darn good. A great story that will capture your heart from the get go. It will keep you on edge as the past and present come to life with each turn of the page.

K.A. Tucker brings excellent character development with the right blend of chemistry, angst, and romance. When Piper and Kyle are in each other’s presence it is inevitable that sparks fly, yet the slow build and reconnect is what makes this a really entertaining read. My heart beat faster, while my mind was at war with the tension… at times I didn’t know if I wanted to love them or smack them around a bit. This is definitely another winner by this talented author. Say You Still Love me is the perfect summer read!

<b> I received an arc from Netgalley for my honest opinions</b>

I LOVED The Simple Wild. Ok. Like loved it. It’s one of the best romances I’ve ever read. And every Tucker romance I’ve read after I just ehh. I dnf Keep Her Safe and this one was good, not great not horrible just okay.


I feel like for the length of this novel we saw very little of the actual characters presently. We flash back and forth from present to 13 years ago. We saw some aspects of their lives now but I just never felt like I really knew them. Idk why. She also has old camp friends living with her but it never showed a friendship forming between any of them. I never saw them becomes friends, throughout any of the flash backs or present sooo...

I also just got bored. I felt like it was all kind of just weird. 16 year olds acting the way the Mc and love interest did was unrealistic honestly, and of course he’s a player before but she comes along and all of a sudden that’s it. It’s her and only her forever, I mean it happens but idk. Also the sex scenes between them in the past were a lot more mature than 16 year olds.. like way more mature lol.


Like I said it was okay, I finished but I found myself just reading to finish not for enjoyment. I wish we could have seen more of the bad ass business woman Piper was in the present vs just hearing it. She always said wanted to handle things her way but then when stuff hits the fan she lets her dad handle it.... just didn’t add up.

The romance was cute, it was okay. They never really knew each other honestly. It was just fun and games and memories of those fun and games and sex. That’s it really...



***SPOILER***

One thing that bothered me was how it also hinted to a relationship between Eric and Ashley. Never happened in the past but was always mentioned in the present. Than they go to see Eric once they realize what happened to him. He’s in a wheelchair and can’t really speak. He suffered brain injury. They start texting a lot but then in the end of the book PIPER SAYS SHES GOING TO INTRODUCE MARK TO ASHLEY AND TRY AND SET THEM UP?’!?!?’ I’m sorry what?! What was the freaking point in hinting to a relationship between Ashley and Eric CONSTANTLY only to mention hooking her up with another man in the end after they realize he’s in a wheelchair for the rest of his life?’! Excuse me... bad decision there. Should just delete that whole sentence before publication...

**4.5 Stars**

Say You Still Love Me brought forth all of the good nostalgia of a summertime romance and wrapped it inside of a wonderful second-chance love story. Tucker’s ability to capture character-to-character connection was effortless as we explored both the past and present of the relationship between an unlikely couple that emitted a natural attraction and ease around one another. From start to finish, this story was simply a feel-good read that held the perfect blend of romance and I enjoyed every moment of being inside of it.

The vibe and atmosphere of the setting that brought these two together was so vivid that the pull to my own camp counseling days became impossible to ignore. The rich girl falling for the boy on the wrong side of the tracks trope was wonderfully executed; neither Kyle or Piper were defined by their roles and yet they held such real vulnerabilities in both stages of their lives that it was all too easy to adore them and acknowledge how well they were drawn. Their arcs and personalities remained constant through time jumps—a task not so easily done—and my need to see how it would all unfold was always pushing me forward. And while there was less of an emotional punch than this author’s other books, it still felt like an addictive KA Tucker love story and I’m all too eager for what story she’ll tell next.

I enjoyed this story! I am a sucker for a second chance romance 💁🏻‍♀️ I liked how it switching between now and when they met. The camp setting was great, and it enticed me more than the present chapters. It felt like half the book was young adult which I liked! I liked both characters and how they grew together, even though they still had a lot to talk about 😬 there was a plot twist I didn’t love, but it didn’t take too much away from the book for me. Overall it’s a fun summer read and a great book to bring to the beach!

Thank you so much @atriabooks for the free copy via @netgalley for review.

Happy pub day to @katucker_ and Say You Still Love Me! I fell in love with The Simple Wild when I read it earlier this year. So I was so excited to get a chance to read her newest book.
•
Piper is an executive at her dad’s real estate development company and is being groomed to take over when he retires. One day, she meets the new security guard for the building and it’s none other than her first love, the boy who broke her heart 13 years ago. Kyle might be acting indifferent, but Piper wants answers for what happened between them that long ago summer.
•
I really liked how the author jumped back and forth from the past to the present. It was sweet to see how Kyle and Piper had changed and how their relationship was different. I really loved the summer camp setting. The story made me reminisce about my own first love and how it feels to be young and in love for the first time. This was the perfect summer read. Although I didn’t love this story quite as much as The Simple Wild, I still really enjoyed it and would recommend it to romance fans.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Omg! It’s been so long since I’ve read a K.A. Tucker book. I fell in love with her writing all over again!!

Say You Still Love Me is a wonderfully written second chance romance. It jumps from past to present and tells the romantically sweet story of Piper and Kyle. I love reading their teenage year at summer camp. Past takes place when they are consolers at Camp Wawa. What Piper thinks will be an awful summer, turns out to be one that changes her brings her love and life long friendships. Kyle, a bad boy, treads Piper so wonderful and anyone can tell that even for
Being so young, these two are in love.

During the Present chapters, we see where they are 13 years later. Although years have separated them, Kyle and Piper still have that all consuming attraction. Kyle completely stole my heart. Honest and loyal with a heart of gold. Piper was amazing too. So driven and full of love as well.

There were great secondary character as well. They all made the story come together wonderfully. A few twists and surprises as well.

Say You Still Love Me is a wonderful second chance story that it a 5 Star must read for me!!

I absolutely love everything that K.A. Tucker writes. Say You Still Love Me is a sweet, sexy second chance romance. This story flip flops between the past and present which I really enjoyed.

Piper Colloway is a beautiful young woman who was recently promoted to senior vice president of her father's company. She has to deal with lots of arrogant men including her ex-fiance. She only stayed with him because he is the type of guy her father hoped she would. She has never forgotten her first true love from summer camp, Kyle Miller.

She is quite intrigued when the new security at her building just happens to be the one man who broke her heart many years ago and then disappeared for years. She isn't sure why he is back in her life but she definitely has some questions for him.

Kyle Miller fell in love with Piper at camp many years ago but because of life circumstances he never reached out to her after camp was over. When he becomes a security guard at Piper's office he claims he doesn't remember her but how do you forget the girl you fell hard for so many years ago? Will these two be able to work through the mistakes of their past and reconnect as adults?

I loved the connection between Piper and Kyle. The secondary characters added lots of depth to the storyline. I loved all the twists and turns this story took. I can't wait to see what K.A. is working on next!!

This book started off kind of slow for me but then I started to like it more as I kept reading. I felt some of the story with the whole business and the other characters didnt really need to be in the story (like Tripp) and the business deals that were involved in the story. Made the chapters longer and I never enjoy reading chapters that are too long because I feel like they are never going to end. Other then that the story was well written and I liked the relationship between Kyle and Piper and reading about their past history and how they came together in the present. It was nice seeing them re-kindle their relationship. KA Tucker is a very good author and I definitely enjoy reading her books.

Life is a mixed bag for Piper Calloway.

On the one hand, she’s a twenty-nine-year-old VP at her dad’s multibillion-dollar real estate development firm, and living the high single life with her two best friends in a swanky downtown penthouse. On the other hand, she’s considered a pair of sexy legs in a male-dominated world and constantly has to prove her worth. Plus she’s stuck seeing her narcissistic ex-fiancé—a fellow VP—on the other side of her glass office wall every day.

Things get exponentially more complicated for Piper when she runs into Kyle Miller—the handsome new security guard at Calloway Group, and coincidentally the first love of her life.


I enjoyed this love story so much!! It is written perfectly, Piper is a strong character, the plot is told in two timelines NOW and THEN when she was at Summer Camp. The author manages to intertwined both times so masterfully. It's a story about the first love, about second chances, I highly recommended. Thank you @netgalley and @atriabooks for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. #NetGalley #SayYouStillLoveMe.

Piper Calloway is a 29 year old VP at her fathers real estate development firm. Piper is living the single life with her two best friends from summer camp, where they spent the summer 13 years ago, in a high rise penthouse. Pipe is trying her best to dominate her role, where she is stuck seeing her ex fiancé everyday. The new building security guard is a blast from the past, Kyle Miller. The boy who broke her heart all those years ago from summer camp. Realizing she still has feelings after all these years, she tries to reconcile, even though Kyle has been distant and presents not to remember her name. Piper is left wondering if that summer meant nothing to Kyle, and everything to her. But there is no way his sudden appearance is just a coincidence....

I absolutely loved everything about this book! Piper is such a strong character and I love that she is a bad a** corporate woman navigating her way through a male dominated industry. Piper is also a woman who knows what she wants and is in tune with her feelings and doesn't do the run around. The chapters are told from the present, and the past at summer camp. K.A Tucker carefully intertwined present and past so masterfully! Because of the back story I was that much more invested in each chapter. Kyle's character in the present is standoffish but with the story weaving through the past and their relationship at summer camp it makes you like him in the present so much more. Such a great story about second chances, first loves, and the importance of love despite social class. I want to go read all K.A. Tucker's books now!!

Piper comes from a wealthy family. But her mom wants her to see how it is to work for something, and so she sends her to Camp Wawa for a summer to be a counselor. Piper doesn't want to be there at all, but she meets Ashley, someone who becomes a close friend; Eric, a foolish yet fun guy; Kyle, the guy who turned out to be her first love.

It's a summer filled with jumping off cliffs, games of two truths and a lie, eating fun dips, bets, breaking the rules, golf carts, etc. It's all about having fun with this group and getting into crazy shenanigans. Unfortunately, an accident happens and this group of counselors gets kicked out. With it, comes promises of staying in touch, but Kyle Miller never kept those promises. It can't possibly be him. It can't be the boy who broke my heart.

Years later, Piper is being groomed to take over her father's company. And obviously, there's a mysoginist employee who believes the company shouldn't be run by a woman, and I love how Piper is always one upping him and putting him in his place.

There's also David, the ex, who believes the world revolves around him. I have to point out how much I enjoyed David. I was so sure I'd hate him but he grew on me. He stood by Piper many times, and gave her lots of harmless banter that I was loving. In his own way, he still had feelings for Piper and wanted to get back together, and Piper would always point him to the door.

When Kyle comes in the picture again, he "forgets" Piper and she's just livid about it. I loved seeing Kyle and Piper come to terms to where they are now. Sure, Kyle still thinks that Piper shouldn't date him because of how he doesn't come from money. Piper being Piper, doesn't listen and it's so sweet seeing them reconnect!

The major highlights for me in this book are:

The flashbacks to 2006 Camp Wawa: It got me so nostalgic! KA Tucker wrote this story in a way I dove in and submerged myself in this story. I pictured everything so vividly in my head and I felt like I was one of the counselors at Camp Wawa! It was beyond fun to read about these memories and made me want to go back to camp and also be foolish.

The friendships: I loved every single friendship here but my fave one had to be Eric's and Ashley's, or Freckles, which is the nickname he gave her. Those two were cute and so much fun to read about! But Eric's character takes the cake! He's so foolishly hilarious, kinda reckless, but I had the most fun with him!

The romance in 2006 Camp Wawa: Even though Kyle and Piper reconnect years later, I felt most of their connection back when they were at camp. Reading about it reminded me of a cute YA story and I was so giddy! I was possibly grinning the entire time I was reading their time at camp!

Overall, Say You Still Love Me is a nostalgic second-chance romance of summer love, memories and fun camp happenings that will make you want to go back to camp with Piper, Kyle, Eric and Ashley!

At sixteen, Piper's mom wants to teach her core values and signs her up to be a camp counselor - to see how the other half lives. Not everyone has their life made and Piper quickly figures out that she's got it good. Fast forward thirteen years and Piper's settling into her new role as part of her father's executive team at his firm. She's destined to take over the reins of the company whenever he decides to step aside. She's 29, she's recently single, and she's roommates with her two besties from that long ago summer at camp. So what happens when her past takes a stroll through the lobby of her company? And why does her heart still beat as fast as it did when she was 16 and his?

Poor little rich girl.
Piper was entitled, privileged, wealthy, and didn't have a clue what it was to be anything but part of the 1%.
It's not to say that the author didn't characterize her with a big heart, because she did...
It's just that the entire story is told from Piper's perspective and it was extremely one-sided.
It was hard not to see how her world was colored and seen with rose-colored glasses.
For her, the glass was never half full because it should always be refilled.
And because of her somewhat condescending and superior attitude, even when she was trying to be approachable, it was impossible for me to be convinced of this second chance at love she had with Kyle.
I think I really needed something from him to bring it all together.
I needed to see how he was able to overlook so much in order to be with her.
I needed to see her grow as a person, as someone who would make sense with someone like Kyle.
And because that didn't happen, I found it hard to invest.

The writing was outstanding. It was easy to see why this author has garnered such a huge fan base with the floetry of her words. While this story wasn't for me, I'm sure it will be a big hit with other romance lovers. And I'll definitely be giving this author another try.

Say You Still Love Me by K.A. Tucker is one of the best books of the year so far. I absolutely loved this story and had a hard time putting it down. This is a story of first loves and true friendships with it's fair share of heartbreak as well as acceptance.

Alternating between past and present, K.A. Tucker gives us the story of Piper and Kyle. The two met as camp counselors thirteen years prior to present time and spent the summer together. In the present, Piper is a senior executive at her father's company and Kyle starts working in the same building as a security guard.

I do not typically enjoy novels that show different timelines, however, this writing style really made this story for me. We see the relationship between Piper and Kyle form in the past as well as the present. We see if it is possible to start again when there is so much history between two people. We also see how class divides impact both teenagers and adults.

This book was flawlessly written and both main characters were exceptional. I definitely recommend this book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Special thanks to Netgalley and Atria Books for an e-Advanced Reader’s Copy of the book. Receiving Say You Still Love Me did not affect my review or rating.

This book is heart-wrenchingly good! I mean tears streaming down your face, ugly cry with a possible gurgle laugh good! Not just good great! This may be one of the best books I’ve read so far this year.

Now I will admit, that for a majority of the book it felt like a mix between the show Dynasty and the same teen summer camp story I've read or watched on the big screen before. And yes there were some cliché plot devices. But K.A. Tucker's writing style definitely keeps you wanting more, even if some of the scenes and moments feel predictable.

The story is told from Piper Calloway's perspective and written in past and present format. The reader is brought along the journey of her love story with Kyle Miller back when they were 16 and 17-year old camp counselors at summer camp to now, where she's set to take over her dad's company Calloway Group. And he is a security guard for one of the company's many buildings, which just so happened to be the building Piper's working in.

Piper's character and character development were, for lack of a better word, flawless. Why you ask? Because I related so well to a character who honestly on paper, nowhere near describes me at all. I mean I wish I was an heiress to a multi-million dollar company. (seriously, I wish!) But I love how down-to-earth she is, and I appreciated reading her inner monologue about work-related issues such as respect, loyalty, trust. And see her grow from this teenager who was head over heels in love with a boy to a (and you know I love this word) badass career woman. But what I appreciated the most was getting to experience all of the emotions and memories of her first love, Kyle.

Say You Still Love Me is a tale of class divides, true friendships, and a passionate first love. But in true K.A. Tucker fashion, there is treachery, heartbreak, and acceptance that although everything is not what it seems, there's room for growth and for friendship and love to start anew.

It's no secret that I'm a huge K.A. Tucker fan, but I recommend this book to those who like a tense romance that packs a hard punch. And who isn't afraid to go down memory lane about their own first love while reading someone else's. And also if you just happen to already be a fan of K.A. Tucker, pick this up now!

Fans of K.A. Tucker: get ready, because she’s done it again. Continuing in the vein of 2017’s Until It Fades, Tucker returns to full-on contemporary romance and she does it well.

When rich girl Piper was dropped off at summer camp, she was there under duress with only the promise of a brand new car making her agree to eight weeks as a camp counselor. Meeting Kyle on the very first day changed everything. Their instant attraction turned into a summer romance and a connection that neither of them expected. Their differences – Piper’s privileged upbringing and Kyle’s wrong-side-of-the-tracks life – seem to disappear in the suspended animation of hot summer days and nights filled with stolen moments. With plans to continue their romance beyond the end of summer, Piper was crushed when she never heard from Kyle again.

Thirteen years later Piper is a successful businesswoman being groomed to take over her father’s business. Despite the passing of more than a decade, other relationships, and a recent broken engagement, Piper had never forgotten Kyle. She was stunned to see him one morning, in her office building, working as a security guard. And there began their story – or rather, the second part of their story – as both Piper and I had so many questions. Where had Kyle been? Why didn’t he contact her after that summer? Why was he back and working in her building? As the story unfolded with alternating chapters set in the present and the past, I experienced Piper and Kyle’s life-changing summer together while also wondering if there could be a future for them. Would they get a happily ever after – or simply closure for the past?

There was so much to love about Say You Still Love Me. To start with, I’m a sucker for second-chance romance. The idea that true love is meant to be and can survive time and distance and hardships – oh yeah, I’m so there for it. Then there’s the dual timeline – again, I’m a big fan. I love watching a story unfold both then and now, being doled out bits of information, as what happened in the past is slowly revealed. Add in Tucker’s stellar storytelling, characters I truly cared about, all the heart melting feelings of first love, and an overwhelming desire for an happy ending, and you have a recipe for success. There were characters I hated, characters that annoyed me but who I ended up liking, secrets revealed, summer camp hijinks, big business machinations, and family relationships (both good and not so good).

Say You Still Love Me is the quintessential second-chance romance and one of my favorite reads of the summer.

***4 Stars***

This was one of those books that, when everything was said and done, I ended up really enjoying, but it also took me a bit longer to get through it than I had expected when I started it. It isn’t the books fault, at least not entirely, since there were spots that dragged for me, that smashed up with life in general kept me from devouring from start to finish. But in the end I enjoyed this mixed bag of romance tropes that was woven into a story about how one moment can change everything.

I really liked Piper and Kyle. Piper is persistent, stubborn and yet isn’t immovable. She has a good heart and a sweet and sassy nature that makes you see beyond the surface and into her soul. Kyle hasn’t had an easy life, but does all he can to move past the bad things and live a good life. Cocky, charming and with a core of honor and loyalty that rivals most, he is a good man who does what needs to be done.

Kyle and Piper’s journey was an interesting one as we get glimpses of not only their present, but their past, and it’s easy to see how the connection they forged never broke ~ regardless of time and distance. I really enjoyed seeing how time had changed them, but only made them stronger and was definitely rooting for them to get their HEA. Of course nothing is ever easy, and with these two they had a lot more obstacles in their path, and while I tended to be #teampiper (at least in their present) I never turned on Kyle either.

This was an interesting read. Secrets and half truth along with the friendships, the connections made one summer kept coming back. As for the secondary characters. This one definitely had a mixed bag of personalities, some I really liked while others had me growling, Ashley was my favorite along with Rhett, but each character brought depth to the story and understanding of the world Piper and Kyle were living in.

K.A. Tucker is high on my list of must-read authors, so when she announces that she has a new book coming out, I immediately add it to my to-be-read list.

Say You Still Love Me is a great summer read. From a love story between two summer camp counselors from very different lifestyles to a second chance romance thirteen years later, this story has all of the feelings, anticipation, and heart that I’ve come to expect from this author.

The story goes back and forth between the past and the present day. This style was ideal for this novel. I felt as though I was able to get to know the characters when they were teenagers. I witnessed their interactions, their friendships, their mistakes, and their long-lasting connections. It was a nostalgic glimpse into a time that would forever mark their lives. Reading Tucker’s words, I was able to envision everything that was transpiring as if it were happening right in front of me. When the book switched back to the present day, I already felt invested in their story and their relationship. It pulled me in and had me wondering and wanting to know how it would all play out.

This book is told entirely from Piper Calloway’s perspective. I couldn’t have been happier about that. There’s something about reading a story solely on one character’s point-of-view that just helps to build the anticipation. I was living the story right along with Piper. I didn’t want to know firsthand what Kyle was thinking, what his motives were, or what his feelings for Piper were. I was happy to just be riding it out alongside of Piper and witnessing all of the pieces fall into place.

As always, the cast of characters was well done and well developed. Piper was a young powerful woman with a privileged life, but she never came across as an entitled character. She was a hard-working woman who, despite her family name, was still determined to make her mark on her family’s business. She was savvy, smart, and stood up for what she believed in. I loved the friendships that she built over the years.

Say You Still Love Me was an all-around enjoyable reading experience. I was pulled into the story quickly, invested in the characters, and felt all of the emotions right along with them. K.A Tucker’s writing just clicks with me. She always manages to tug at my heartstrings, make me smile, shed a few tears, and leave me in anticipation of her next book.
