I didn't know what to expect when I picked up Savor It and was blown away by how much I loved it. it was achingly romantic and beautifully written. The characters felt so real and I loved how each of them had their own individual character arcs. I love when romance books don't ignore that no matter how much you love or are loved there are still battles that you have to face yourself. Would recommend this to any one looking for their new favorite romance!

Fisher is a big time 5 star chef in New York City who is used to being a bachelor. However he just lost his sister. He is now navigating raising his teenage niece, Indy, who is very much in her teenage angst years. To say Fisher is having a hard time adjusting well who wouldn't? So when a semi forced opportunity for a break to be in charge of getting a restaurant off the ground in hallmark Spunes, Oregon, he's going to make it work. An opportunity in a less stressful situation job wise, an opportunity to build this relationship with Indy, it just has to work.

Then enters, Sage the town golden girl in this coastal town of Spunes. Sage who has lived and breathed her whole life with this cozy small town has a fierce protection over her home. She is also the caretaker of the rental that Fisher has just rented for Indy and himself while he's getting this restaurant off the ground. She has a farm in her back yard of animals she adores. a quirky style you just can't resist to adore and a heart that is mending after a 5 yr relationship. She needs a distraction and she thinks she may have found it. The Festival of Spunes has an annual competition she just needs a partner.

Fisher is having trouble with the fiercely protective townspeople blocking him on his restaurant project. Sage needs a partner for her competition. What could go wrong? A deal is struck Sage will help Fisher with getting the community on his side if he agrees to be his partner.

I have never read a Tarah Dewitt novel before but I can tell you I will be looking into her backlist. This could be made into a hallmark movie, it has all the right feels. I laughed, cried, I couldn't put it down. Add this to your tbr immediately, you won't regret it.

4.5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of “Savor It” by Tarah DeWitt. All opinions are my own.

This was such a cute romance! I loved the main character Sage and her family. (Really looking forward to more books for each of her brothers!!!) The ending was beautiful and I would recommend it.

I read it in two days so definitely a good quick read

4.75! yall i just love tarah's books so so so much.

the hot chef and sunshine girly in a small town? SIGN ME UP. i love Fisher & Sage SO MUCH. the setting was perfect. the side characters were great.

i can always count on tarah to write the most wholesome books!

I absolutely adored this book. It will be one I reread over and over. Sage and Fisher were sweet and soft and spicy in all the best ways.

While I have enjoyed the three previous books by the author, and was looking forward to this one, it is definitely my least favorite one of her catalog. I found it difficult to connect to the story and be invested in it, which was not an issue with Rootbound, The Co-Op or Funny Feelings. I’m still looking forward to what’s next, and was excited when I heard that there’s a spin off with Sage’s brother and sister in law coming out soon!

I need to read more books by this author ASAP. This book was so incredible. It made my cry, smile, get butterflies. I felt like I experienced so many emotions while reading this. I just want to do a reread.

Tarah DeWitt has done it again goddamn it! So freaking perfect! Sage is another all time perfect DeWitt FMC. I loved visiting the town of Spunes and cannot wait for whats next. I hope Tarah writes about 300 more of these stories because I will be first in line to buy each one as they come out!

Tarah Fucking Dewitt. Absolutely LOVED this one and it just might be my favorite. Amazing character development. Incredible story telling. Just perfect book all around.

This is really an interesting and emotional book and I love that both journeys are connected to food. Both the hero and heroine are going through it but how they start to realize what they need is from their connection to one another. Emotional and good book.

Tarah DeWitt has the magical gift of writing characters that feel incredibly real and tangible. I fell in love with her writing after reading Funny Feelings and realizing that I saw so much of myself in the characters. This book was no exception. Going from reading lines that have me belly laughing, to suddenly tearing up because it hits a bit too close to home, then becoming extremely hungry because everything Fisher creates sounds utterly perfect. Savor It is expertly balanced and proves that Tarah just keeps getting better with each release.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for an arc of Savor it!
As soon as i got approved, i started binging it. but around the 60% mark it slowed down a lot for me and i ended up DNFing it. I was really excited for this book and I love Tarah Dewitt but the characters felt one dimensional and not flushed out enough for my liking. The plot also didn’t reallly start until 40% in.
I really liked the writing and loved the idea but it wasn’t a favorite for me.

I LOVED IT! it was swoony and adorable! loved Sage and Fisher and the underlying theme of enjoying the little moments and savoring life. It was a masterclass in small town romcoms, it gave cozy vibes and overall felt like a warm hug. Loved the side characters specially Indy and Wren. This is one I will reread often.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martins for the ARC in exchange of my honest opinion

A cute rom-com! I enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters, and loved Fisher's niece Indy. Small town romances are my kryptonite, and it was full of charming people. The one gripe I had was not being able to see Fisher and Sage compete in the town's competition. We see them train for it and in the end only see a bit of the canoe race. But overall a fast and enjoyable read!

This was a good romance read, but it felt a lot more superficial than I anticipated based on the hype, the cover, and the blurb. All in all, it was entertaining but it wasn't unputdownable, either. However, despite the fact that it kind of left me wishing for more, the upside is that it kind of left me wishing for more, which gives me a lot of hope for future titles from this author. While it wasn't a 5-star read for me, maybe it will be for you.

I liked this! It is a great blend of humor, romance and emotions. The characters had great banter. I really love Tarah DeWitt's writing style. I enjoyed the dual perspectives. Overall this was heartwarming and entertaining read. Thanks so much for the ARC!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fluffy read that not a lot happened in, which is perfectly fine by me. There were many times when I wanted to be reading about some of the side characters' stories as they seemed like they would have an interesting story. Overall, this was a cute book.

I really enjoyed this book. It did take me a bit to get into this book, only because I am a mood reader. If you love Tarah DeWitt you will love this!

Savor It took me by surprised and turned out to be one of the best summer reads for me this year! This book is a delightful blend of humor and cuteness. The story is set in a small town, where the sense of community and found family is heartwarming. Fisher, the MMC, is a single dad/guardian and a talented chef who moves to the small town of Spunes, Oregon, (not to be confused with Forks, Washington. IYKYK) with his teenage niece. His journey of healing and rediscovering his passion for cooking is both touching and inspiring. The FMC, Sage, owns a small farm and she has a quirky personality and a heart of gold. I loved reading about her interactions with her farm animals and the residents of the town.

The dynamic between Fisher and Sage is electric, filled with witty banter and genuine moments of connection. Their evolving relationship, set against the backdrop of a small-town festival, is both steamy and sweet, making it impossible not to root for their happily ever after. If you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh, swoon, and feel all the feels, this is the one!

Favorite Quote: “Did you know geese bond for life?! Did you know they can get depression?!”
