Goodreads
The bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Keep Her Safe and “master of steamy romance” (Kirkus Reviews) delivers a sizzling novel about an ambitious and high-powered executive who reconnects with her first love: the boy who broke her heart.
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.
The guy she hasn’t seen or heard from since they were summer camp counselors together. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks. The guy who apparently doesn’t even remember her name.
Piper may be a high-powered businesswoman now, but she soon realizes that her schoolgirl crush is still alive and strong, and crippling her concentration. What’s more, despite Kyle’s distant attitude, she’s convinced their reunion isn’t at all coincidental, and that his feelings for her still run deep. And she’s determined to make him admit to them, no matter the consequences.
KA Tucker swept me away in Say You Still Love Me, an unforgettable romance that beautifully depicts both the bittersweet stirrings of first love and the achingly emotional pull of a second chance. This book was so different from what this author has delivered previously, a story as much about the struggles of a woman in charge of a hugely successful company as it is about the love story between a privileged heiress and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks.

KA Tucker swept me away in Say You Still Love Me, an unforgettable romance that beautifully depicts both the bittersweet stirrings of first love and the achingly emotional pull of a second chance. This book was so different from what this author has delivered previously, a story as much about the struggles of a woman in charge of a hugely successful company as it is about the love story between a privileged heiress and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks.
I seriously enjoyed every bit of this book. I loved the dynamic born in the past, the history of a wealthy teenager reluctantly sent to camp for the summer who has no idea she’s about to fall for the boy her parents will never approve of. The trajectory of their lives is altered that summer, setting into motion events that the reader comes to understand slowly over the course of the entire book, secrets that reveal themselves at just the right moments as a second chance love story unfolds many years later.
What sticks out the most to me on these pages is the palpable chemistry between Piper and Kyle. The lust, the adoration, the fierce attraction, the devastating longing… every moment of this book is laced in such an undeniable pull between these characters and it leaps right off the page and ensnares the reader. I FELT it all and it was INTOXICATING. You can’t read this book and not completely melt over their romance.
There’s a lot going on in this book and I loved all of it. It’s so rare we get to read about a woman in a position of power, as Piper is, and I loved that she owned every bit of it but, at the same time, remained relatable. Aside from the love story on these pages, this is very much a story of what successful women face in a world dominated by men, and it’s fantastic the way Tucker lays out her story.
This was a solid read in every way. It’s rich with heartache and longing, steamy and sexy and light in the way only young love is, but tangled with complications and drama as second chance love stories are. It’s sweet and full of surprises and the chemistry is just FIERCE. The writing, the romance, the vast ensemble of characters… all of it, I just loved and I can’t say that enough!
