Say You Still Love Me by K.A. Tucker

I’ve previously read and loved Tucker’s Wild series and recently read another one of her books. I was specifically looking for a standalone and this fit the brief.

We follow Piper, a 29-year-old VP in the family real estate company, who’s struggling with colleagues that think she doesn’t deserve the position. She also works closely with her ex (super weird dynamic), but I went with it.

There’s also 16-year-old Piper chapters, telling us about the summer she was a camp counselor. It’s in the camp chapters where we first meet Kyle, a crush she seems not to have forgotten about. And Kyle is suddenly back in Piper’s life.

There’s a lead up to something happening during camp. The reveal as to what separated the two young lovebirds was….well, I don’t want to say what it was but I did not see it coming. I like not being able to guess where a book goes.

There was so much build up, then things wrapped up very quickly. At 373 pages, it does seem a tad long as some things are drawn out, whereas other scenes where I’d have liked to spend more time were short. Alas, we can not always have what we want.

This is definitely not my last Tucker book, but I do hope to find something to the likes of the Wild books again. The Alaskan scenery and the chemistry in that series was fantastic and in that sense I found Say You Still Love Me to be somewhat lacking.

I realize it’s unfair to compare, yet the reader in me cannot help but compare as expectations had already been set.

If you’ve read any Tucker books, let me know how you liked them and what you recommend I read next.

Happy reading.
