Say You Still Love Me is a story about Piper who's at the top of her game when it comes to her job but still stuck in the past romantically. She can't seem to get over the boy who broke her heart at summer camp. I really LOVED the last 100 pages of this book but everything before that was pretty boring. Too much work talk and not enough drama. Also there's a bunch fo different guys to keep track of in this story. I think fans of K.A. Tucker will probably love this story but for me it was kinda boring most of the way through. I did love the ending though.

This book took me by sheer surprise. Complete and utter surprise (but in the best kind of way!). I love feeling nostalgia while I am reading, no matter the genre of the book and I love the “NA genre” feelings that come out when you read some of those great books (like the ones in 2012-2014) so reading Say You Still Love Me was such a nice breath of fresh air.

I really enjoyed the past and present timeline within the story. In my honest opinion– it really made this book and the feelings that we throughout more real. Seeing the relationship between Piper and Kyle evolve both past and present, really set the tone to this story and made the roller-coaster of emotions that much more intense.

Not to mention I loved Piper and her assertiveness and forwardness when it came to Kyle! Loved it! From the very beginning I just adored the way she stood her ground when it came to him and at times even throwing in some fun and wit with it! When a heroine takes control and lets others know how she is feeling, I am always more drawn to them.

Between the summer vibes, being a kid with no care in the world, fun-dip, and so much more I was on cloud nine in the nostalgia department! Loved it. Appreciated it. Craved it!

I thought Say You Still Love Me was a GREAT “2012 K.A. Tucker” vibe. I have been waiting for this book from her since the Ten Tiny Breath series. If you are a fan of feeling nostalgic, mixed with some NA genre, and some second chance romance… be sure to check this one out come release day!

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for the chance to read this book! It was amazing! The first 20 percent of the book had a very slow pace and didn't really hold my attention! I wasn't understanding the back and forth between the times lines. Once Kyle came into the present day storyline that completely changed! I understood how the two time lines were vital besides just in telling a love story. I can't say enough great things about the book! It is one of the best books I have read in awhile! The other 80 percent more than made up for my disinterest in the beginning! I would actually go out an purchase it when it comes out in August just to have a paperback version, it was that good! :)

What a lovely book this is! Piper and Kyle meet at camp 13 years ago and their summer is one of magic and love. In the present they are living very separate lives until Kyle shows up at Piper's family business as a new security guard. This story is told in the past and the present and it is a lovely, romantic story full of heartbreak and joy. This is my first book by KA Tucker and I'm hooked! I loved the writing and the characters were so vivid I felt like I knew them. Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book brought back so many nostalgic camp memories for me and I loved every second of it. The way the story jumps back and forth between past and present added extra suspense to the novel and the characters were delectable. I absolutely loved everything about Say You Love Me and now I kind of want to read it again! Attractive and successful girl falls in love with boy from the wrong side of the tracks... yep-- count me in!

I don't think I've read a single book from K.A. Tucker yet that I haven't loved and Say You Love Me was no exception to that rule. I loved this novel from start to finish and couldn't put it down. I would highly recommend it if you love some feel good romance! I can't wait for you guys to pick this one up! Thank you so much to Atria and NetGalley for sending this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Rating 5/5

I’ve been a fan of K.A. Tucker since she released her first book, and she continues to wow me with her writing. In this book we are introduced to Piper and Kyle, who meet one summer while working as camp counselors. Though they come from completely different backgrounds, the spark between them ignites instantly. Their summer together is one of passion, adventure, and a hint of mischief, but when tragedy strikes they are torn apart leaving Piper with a broken heart and few answers.

Fast forward thirteen years and while Piper is being prepped to take over her father’s business, she bumps into Kyle working security for the very building she works in. Piper is not immune to the emotional whiplash this causes her and soon all the feelings from years ago come flooding back to the surface. Kyle, however, is harboring his own secrets, and they go so much deeper than I could have ever imagined. While I was angry that he just showed up out of the blue with no warning and no explanation, he had his reasons for staying away. But are they enough to allow Piper to forgive and forget, or will it finally destroy whatever feelings Piper has been holding onto all these years? I’ll leave that for you to find out. ;)

While this isn’t my favorite book by K.A. Tucker, I did really enjoy reading it. She has a way of writing stories that are both entertaining and relatable, and this book is a perfect example of that. I look forward to reading more from her.

3.5 stars!!

Thank you to Atria Books for approving me for an early copy!

I've been excited to read this book for awhile now, and when I was approved I was excited to dive in that second and DEVOUR this story. I've been a huge fan of KA Tucker's recent releases, so I will read anything she writes honestly.

THE SIMPLE WILD was one of my all time favorite books last year, I mean I was OBSESSED with that book inside and out. One of the highlights of WILD for me was that the atmosphere Tucker created with the book. I truly felt like I was in the Alaskan woods - truly, the entire book was an intimate experience and made me mark Alaska down as one of my top places to visit.

OKAY, enough about that book! While I did enjoy SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME, I didn't think it was on the same level as THE SIMPLE WILD. In SYSLM, I thought Tucker captured the atmosphere of Camp WaWa in a similar way she did with the Alaskan Wild in TSW. I truly felt like I was at the camp with Piper and Kyle, and I was actually almost sad reading the flashback chapters because they made me nostalgic and made me wish I had been a camp counselor back when I was in high school. Anyways, I really loved the summer camp chapters because I truly could feel the bond between Piper and Kyle, and enjoyed reading about them falling in love so quickly and effortlessly - the two were definitely made for each other...

BUT....Okay, when I read the synopsis my heart jumped with excitement when I read that this was going to be an office romance of sorts because I AM OBSESSED WITH THEM, but when I would get to the present day chapters, it almost felt like I was reading a different book??? The romance between Kyle and Piper didn't flow quite as effortlessly in the present chapters as it did in the flashback chapters...I mean 13 years had passed between the past and present, so I thought that Piper and Kyle would have to fall in love with each other again, but they really didn't, it was just kinda assumed they still loved each other, but even then, the romance felt so STALE??? Or I felt really detached to the romance in the present? And I think this is where the book fell flat for me because the author is trying to convince me that these two are in love with each other still and are basically going to spend the rest of their lives together, but I felt like Piper and Kyle were two different people and the CONNECTION WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE.

Overall, I really enjoyed the story, it was a bit slow at times during the present chapters with the whole Tripp storyline that I didn't care for, but I would definitely pick this one up if you've been a fan of Tucker's previous books. SYSLM was a cute story, but is still no match for me and my love for the Simple Wild (oh hey, on a completely unrelated topic, THE SIMPLE WILD would make an amazing movie, so yeah, tell Netflix to get on that please!)

Say You Still Love Me had great characters. I loved Piper's tenacity and strength. As she worked to fill her father's shoes in their family company, her resiliency and drive made her very successful. Kyle had a challenging childhood, the polar opposite of Piper's childhood. Yet, despite their differences, they find common ground and love. Moving from flashbacks to present time was a literary treat for me as we were able to see how Piper and Kyle first fell in love.

Loved this cute quick easy read book. The past and present writing style had me hooked from the beginning. The storyline will take you right back to the easy teenage days of hanging with your besties day after day after day. Super cute story that was well written and fun to read.

Thank you to Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book brought me right back to my summers in high school, where everyday was spent allll day long at our swim club. This book has flashbacks between a high school summer at Camp WaWa, and present day, 13 years later, and centers on a summer love that quickly ended but was never forgotten. The characters are so endearing and it 100% makes me wish I grew up at summer camp. My favorite part though, is the strong female lead who knows what she wants, and always goes for it. I flew through this and really enjoyed it!

Thank you to @netgalley + @atriabooks for an eARC in exchange for an honest review! .

Oh my, this story was SO GOOD. Piper Calloway is the VP at her fathers multibillion-dollar real estate firm. She’s grown up living a privileged life, and currently lives with her best friends in a posh downtown penthouse. She thought her biggest problems were dealing with office sexism and tolerating her ex-fiancé, and fellow VP, every day, until she runs into her first love, Kyle Miller, the new security guard of her fathers building.

The story is told from alternating timelines, and I adored how Tucker wove the story together. Piper and Kyle met as teenagers the summer that they were both camp counselors. I never went to summer camp, but I was here for all the camp chapters! Piper and Kyle had completely different childhoods and life experiences, their class differences play a lot into how their relationship progresses during the flashback chapters.

This story is filled with angst and sexual tension, both past and present. But there’s not a lot of sex in this one. Mostly tension and insane chemistry (there’s a bit more steam during the flashback chapters). The contrast between watching Piper and Kyle fall in love as teenagers and then Piper trying to figure out what went wrong 13 years later, completely hooked me. There’s a mystery element, Piper doesn’t know everything that happened during their camp romance. Needing to know what happened is what made the book unputdownable for me!

I loved that Piper is a strong business woman, but I did question how realistic it would be for her to become completely distracted at work once Kyle returns. I mean, it’s been 13 years since they’ve seen each other, yet he flips her world upside down upon returning. Regardless, this earns 5 stars from me.

If you love second chance slow-burns, put Say You Still Love Me on your TBR now and get ready for August 6th!

While there were parts of this book that irritated me, I honestly could not put this down! I read this story in one sitting and got nothing accomplished all day. (The kids got Happy Meals for dinner because I couldn't tear myself away) I can't wait to see what this author throws at us next!

Say You Still Love Me by KA Tucker is a solid read.that takes the reader back to a time where things were much simpler. Combine that with adult responsibilities and this was a tale that flipped back and forth between the past and the present.

I really liked this story. It's whimsical and nostalgic hitting all the right chords and playing out well for a second-chance romance. Toggling from present to past with each chapter strictly from the heroine's point of view we travel in the midst of two love stories from youth and adulthood. The subdued and simmering chemistry is palpable really solidifying the intense connection making the romance that much more explosive.

There were a couple of character quirks about the hero that I had had enough of that really kept me from rating this 5 stars even though I did fully enjoy the story. The heroine was definitely the stronger character. But together there's no denying the loveliness of their journey to, away, and back to each other. With interesting backgrounds and brighter futures the two are very different but something special in each other.

K.A. Tucker's writing in the first person point of view was lovely as well. I didn't caught up in an abundance overly exaggerated details in this perspective and her story flow kept me engaged the entire time. I was especially loving how she slowly unraveled the past through the present without leaving us hanging after every chapter as an artificial plot device. It worked really well and suited the story of these two characters quite perfectly.

Say You Still Love Me proves itself as an excellent story for the hopeless romantics. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It's a complete stand alone and easy read.

K.A. Tucker always tugs at my heartstrings. Everything of hers I have read, I always adore. Piper and Kyle are a love story we probably all wish we had. First love reuniting. It was a great story. The mystery, romance, humor was just all wonderful. I definitely recommend for an adult romance.

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.


I have read all of Ka Tucker’s books, and was excited to get an advanced copy of this. Being that it is a second chance romance, that also drew me in.
I struggled with the main character Piper. While I appreciated her career driven personality, there was just something about her. I did feel the chemistry between her and Kyle.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for an advanced read in exchange for this review.

Piper is a 29 year old VP at her dad's multi-million dollar company.  She lives in a posh penthouse with her friends and enjoys the single life after breaking  up with her fiance' (her coworker).  

A new security guard begins to work in her building.  It's the guy who broke her heart at camp when she was a teenager.  

Okay, this book is quite superficial. While I certainly appreciated Piper working in a male dominated company, she basically is there because her dad is the CEO (although she does appear to be good at her job).  I'm not sure why she is so immediately in love with Kyle (security guard) again after a quick glance at him.  I mostly spent this book rolling my eyes.  There isn't much to dislike about Piper.  She seems like a nice person who was obviously born on 3rd base, but she doesn't hold that over anyone's head.  I was just expecting a little substance from the book.  Not for me.

SAY YOU STILL LOVE ME will make you fondly recall all of your own “firsts” –your first day at camp, your first crush, your first kiss, your first love – and all the other romantic milestones and adventures involved in being young and inevitably foolish!

But young love rarely survives its infancy, and the star-crossed lovers in this story are no exception. Kyle and Piper come from two different worlds. Kyle’s father and two of his brothers are in prison, whereas Piper’s father is a wealthy real estate developer. Their paths first cross when they work as teen counselors at Camp Wawa, somewhere in New York or thereabout. It is love at first sight – the young couple continue to fall even more in love over the course of that wild and romantic summer. The slow burning attraction between these two young lovers was sweet, and a joy to read.

But, alas, tragedy strikes, separating Piper and Kyle. (No spoilers here! Find out for yourself what happened!)

Thirteen years have passed when, out of the blue, Piper sees Kyle working as a security guard in her father’s office tower. She can’t stop thinking about him, wondering why he never returned her calls and emails all those years ago: why he just seemed to disappear off the face of the earth and broke her heart.

There are all kinds of mysteries surrounding Kyle’s reasons for coming back into Piper’s life. No matter: neither of them can deny that they have been pining for each other since that last fateful day at camp Wawa. There is no way they can walk away from each other this time – which makes for a very steamy and passionate reunion!

One theme that recurs throughout this story is that the path to true love can be very messy and requires a lot of faith and forgiveness along the way. I really enjoyed all of the characters in this story: the mischievous, fun-loving Kyle and his crazy friend Eric; the goodhearted, passionate Piper who wants her father’s approval, but who refuses to sacrifice her love for Kyle in order to keep it; Christa, the chief camp counselor who must always be right, and who adopts the world’s most neurotic Siamese cat; and finally Ashley, the ultimate “earth child” who literally knits their entire group together. I absolutely enjoyed this second chance at love story, which is told in shifting “Now” and “Then” time sequences. You are kept on the edge of your seat until the very last chapter for the final reveal. Highly, highly recommended!

My thanks to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

When Piper Calloway was 16 her mom made her trade in a summer of luxury spent on the family's yacht for a job as a counselor at a rundown summer camp. When Kyle Miller was 17 he was a counselor at that same camp as a way to escape his criminal family and earn much needed money for the rest of the year. Nothing about their lives outside of that lakeside campsite would make them seem right for each other but everything else about them is. It was love at first sight until something huge tore them apart.

In Say You Still Love Me, it has been ten years since that heartbreak when Piper sees Kyle working security at the office she's poised to inherit. Is it possible that they still love each other after all these years?

Say you Still Love Me tells switches between the past and present as it tells the story of how Piper Calloway and Kyle Miller met, fell in love and then fell apart. I enjoyed every second of it.

I am such a big fan of K.A. Tucker I was over the moon when I received a ARC of this book. It was a sweet touching romance that pulled at my heart string. It didn't hold my attention the first half of the book with all the past and present back and forth but my the end I was completely into it and was left feeling content with the overall story. It wasn't a favorite of mine but still a good and quick second chance book.
