"Say You Love Me" would be a great read for someone looking for a steamy romance novel with a historical setting. Johanna Lindsey's writing style is engaging and her portrayal of the relationship between Kelsey and Derek is filled with passion and intensity. The book is not without its flaws, but its depiction of a proud woman remaining true to her sense of self while slowly falling in love with a scoundrel is definitely worth a read.
