OUR REVIEW:

Shel: Say You Still Love Me is gonna take you back to your summer camp days, y'all. And for those of us who never went to summer camp days, it'll have you thinking that maybe that was a missed opportunity, especially once you get to know Piper and Kyle. Their slow burn-second chance at love romance was engaging with almost every other chapter flashing back to their first meeting and subsequent weeks at camp, falling in love and getting to know each other and chapters devoted to their here and now. Lest you think it's all a nostalgia filled sepia toned throw back, let me inform you that K.A. Tucker also gives her characters conflict and trouble in their adult lives too. It's most definitely a novel of our time--touching on class and privilege and sexism--while giving us a chance to understand and know the younger versions of Piper and Kyle and how that impacted the older version of who and what they are now.

Shel: Say You Love Me will be a hit for romance readers in the waning summer months of 2019. It's throwback to summer camp mixed with an interesting look at the characters in years later will make it hard to put down.

SYNOPSIS:

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.
