Say You Love Me is a novel for men and women but mostly women. With its great description on how each character feels, it is very easy to follow the plot. Although it starts out slow it gets very exiting before you know it. “But Derek, Derek he was terrified of because he had already tangled with twice and both times had lost.”

“Derek took one look at Kelsey then at Ashford with the whip in his hand, and he tore across that room. He didn't even go around the bed to get to his target, but dove over it taking him and Ashford to the floor where Kelsey couldn't see them very well just hear…”
This book is for teenagers and young adults who love romance and love to read about what people will go through to get the person they love. Say You Love Me is worth reading over and over again.
