About this ebook

Prepare for a romance that shimmers with emotion and startling growth in 'Say You Love Her: An LA Love Story,' the third irresistible book in the LOVE in the USA Contemporary Romance Series by Z.L. Arkadie. Set amidst the glitz and unspoken glamor of Los Angeles, this story unravels an unexpected journey of self-discovery, transformation, and overwhelming love.

Charlie Lord, a billionaire kept by the privileges of his wealth, carries the world in his hands but navigates life aimlessly, convinced he's destined for nothingness beyond the flashing lights of superficiality. His playboy lifestyle is all he knows and all he wants to know. However, the cosmos has other plans, heralded by the entrance of the enigmatic Angelina Beauchamp.

Angelina is not just any woman; she's a revelation. Her presence is a mirror, reflecting the man Charlie could be, the man buried deep beneath layers of fear and apprehension. She sparks a metamorphosis within him, an unsettling desire to be more than a billionaire playboy. She makes him yearn for what money can't buy — authenticity, honesty, and love.

As Charlie embarks on this journey of transformation, he is plagued by doubts. Can he truly shed the armor he's worn for so long? Is he ready to embrace the vulnerabilities that come with profound love? The answers won't come easy, leading to a soul-stirring quest that challenges everything he's ever known.

'Say You Love Her: An L.A. Love Story' is a narrative masterpiece that blends passion, character evolution, and the bravery inherent in allowing oneself to love truly and fully. Join Charlie as he grapples with his burgeoning emotions and the realization that love isn't a weakness but the greatest strength of all.

Ratings and reviews

Not as good as the first two plus the plot is so predictable. They get together then something happens and they end up back together it's kinda the same story in every book and the author needs to change it up..

Read it again in May 2022. This is book 3, Charlie's story begins here when he meets Daisy's sister, Angelina Beauchamp. POV alternates between her and Charlie. These characters have less romantized thoughts than most romances. Instead the POV is interesting, somewhat gritty-real and even explicit, especially male POV. If you haven't begun with book 1, you'll notice references, characters, and maybe even spoilers from books 1 and 2.

Only other story in the series I enjoyed. Characters were better developed and sex scenes enhanced the story instead of being a crude centerpiece like most of this series.

About the author

Z.L. Arkadie’s personality shines through in her books, which put a modern spin on romance. The Southern California based author’s LOVE in the USA series follows an interconnected web of young professionals across the country as they establish their careers and navigate the pitfalls of love. Even when Arkadie puts a paranormal twist on her stories—as in the Parched series—she focuses on conversations and emotions that feel familiar.
