I love Tarah's writing - the characters and the setting are always strong, and she writes emotions and internal monologues in a way that truly feels more real, authentic, and relatable than most other authors. All of which is true of this book as well. I adore Sage and Fisher, and seeing them open up to each other, grow, and take leaps of faith for themselves and each other. I will say, in a lot of ways, not a lot happens in the story in terms of plot, but I don't think that's a bad thing, It gave room for a deep dive into these characters. The ending felt a bit rushed which is really my reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5, but I did really enjoy this one and CANNOT WAIT for Left of Forever!!

This was such a cute book, it's the perfect small town romance, if you want a quirky town with a found family full of animals then this one if for you. I do wish that there was more of an over arching plot but this is a great vacation read if you looking for something feel good.

This was the first book that I have read by this author and I was very excited to start it because it takes place in my home state of Oregon. Spunes, OR is a fictional small coastal town. I liked the relationship between Sage and Fisher, both of them had their own history that they were dealing with, but were able to still be open to moving forward. I like that Fisher tried to do right by his niece, Indy and she was able to get a taste of the big city, like she wanted. I did feel like the story line with Silas getting injured kind of came out of nowhere, but that is my only complaint. I really want to read Ellis and Wren's story next and I can't wait for that to come out.

I absolutely loved this book, I went into it knowing nothing but knew I loved the author and she didn't disappoint!

I have loved all of Tarah’s other books, but Savor It didn’t work quite as well for me. It felt as if there were some pacing issues in the story and I never felt much of a spark between Sage and Fisher.
Unfortunately this one didn’t work for me but I know I’m in the minority and tons of people loved it!

Thank you to Netgalley & St Martins Press for the eARC of this book!

This book was such a sweet, swoony, sexy summer romance. I fell in love with Sage, Fisher, and the entire supporting cast (including the copious amounts of farm animals). Tarah DeWitt is a beautiful writer who weaves life's complexities into her storytelling in a seamless way. She explores grief and both the fear and exhilaration of falling in love, and offers just the right amount of Sage Advice. This was a top read for me in 2024.

Holy moly I loved this. The audio was 🔥. This book explored grief in such a relatable way. And finding yourself, going through hardships and finding someone who loves you for you.

First off I loved Sage and Fisher separately as much as I loved them together. I loved how solid their friendship was and how their relationship was so deep!

The setting of the book was great. I love the PNW so reading a book set there was so enjoyable.

The messages in this book were just great. I really loved it.

Savor It by Tarah DeWitt is a delightful, feel-good read that perfectly blends humor, heart, and just the right amount of romance. DeWitt’s writing is sharp and witty, and her characters are so relatable they feel like old friends. This book isn’t just about love—it’s about embracing life’s messiness and finding joy in the little things. If you’re looking for a story that will make you smile, laugh, and maybe shed a happy tear or two, Savor It is the perfect escape.

This book has a lot going on within the story. It was well written and the characters were real, and likable for that reason. They weren’t perfect but you liked them anxiety’s and all. There was just one too many characters we were told to be invested in. It seemed to take away from the main characters progression,

The spice was good, but it wouldn’t been nice to have it spaced it out more evenly throughout the book.

This book is perfect for people who like small town romance and even better if you live in the PNW and like small town romance.

Sage was a small town girl; she loved her town and the people in it. Fisher was from a big city, and he recently moved to the town after a huge loss. He was a chef and a single guardian to his niece, and things weren’t easy for him.

This was so cute, angsty, and emotional. Fisher and Sage were opposites, but they were so good together. Sage was very sweet, kind, and patient with Fisher. And the way she helped both his niece, Indy, and Fisher heal was heartwarming.

I haven’t read other Tarah DeWitt novels — this was my first by her — but I enjoyed this, so I’ll be checking out her other books.

This was a fun romance read! The beginning I’ll admit was a bit rough, we’re thrown right into things and I struggled a little bit as I was piecing things together, figuring out what was going on, the who, the what, and where. But once I got my groundings, it was smooth sailing from there!

And it was such an entertaining read! With a few LOL moments especially following our male MC, Fisher. Who I easily envisioned as a husky pirate, more specifically as the one we meet in the series, Once Upon a Time, Captain Hook! So if you enjoy pirates, he’s definitely swoon worthy! And oh so sweet! I adored how he cared for Sage from the beginning.

The premise is also very quirky and cute! We’re introduced to the fictional town of Spunes, Oregon, not to be confused with Forks, Washington. That alone should set the tone for you! A cutesy small town romance. And then throw in some fake dating, and I think it’s clear where its going.

But despite being a bit on the predictable side, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I found it cute and sweet and love the heat between our MCs! And things do get HAWT!

If you enjoy small town romances definitely consider picking this one up!

I liked Tarah Dewitt. This is her cutesy book. Low angst. I like Tarah overall and this delivered. It was pretty good and I would recommend it

miss tarah knows how to right a romcom that is part emotional and part funny. this book tugged on my heart strings so hard I wasn’t expecting it. I spent such a lovely time in the company of sage and fisher! I AM SOOOO EXCITED TO READ LEFT OF FOREVER I KNOW THIS BOOK IS GONNA BE INCREDIBLE

Savor It by Tarah DeWitt is a super sweet, feel-good romance that’ll make you smile and swoon. The story follows Ethan and Grace, two people who are thrown together because of a food festival, and sparks fly right away. Ethan’s a chef, Grace is a food critic, and there’s a lot of delicious (pun intended) tension between them. They’re both dealing with their own personal stuff, but their connection is undeniable.

What I loved about this book is how much it focuses on food as a way to bring people together. But it’s not just about the food, it’s also about the emotional connection between Ethan and Grace. They’re both flawed, but they’re also really relatable and easy to root for. The romance is sweet but doesn’t feel rushed, and I loved watching them grow together.

The pacing is great, and there’s a good mix of humor, heart, and a little bit of drama. It’s the kind of book that’s perfect for when you need a light, comforting read with just the right amount of romance.

This was such a fun Summer Romance! I absolutely fell in love with Fisher and Sage. Fisher is in town only for the summer, burned out from his life a professional chef but determined to get his spark back by helping open a new restaurant in the small town of Spunes, Oregon. And not only is he burned out but he is also now responsible for his teenage niece, none to happy to be living the small town life. But an unexpected neighbor, Sage, the hometown sweetheart, is just what both of them needed to get their lives back on track.

And summer fling along the way between Fisher and Sage definitely sweetened the deal of having to deal with small town life. I loved that Sage’s hobby farm added such a fun element that had me laughing at all the mishaps and animal shenanigans. And the town “race” gave the best forever proximity of having to work together and I loved it all their shared puns! This romance was just what I needed to brighten my day.

Savor It by Tarah DeWitt was such a cute, wholesome read.
The chemistry between Sage and Fisher felt slightly superficial and the tension was a little surface level at times but overall I enjoyed the relationship!
Some parts were pretty slow, but if you continue on it picks up.

This was a pretty standard rom-com, but it definitely delivered on being light and fluffy. There were some moments in here that were deep, but overall, this was such a good read.

4.5 Stars

I enjoyed Sage and Fischers relationship, but there were just a few nitpicky things that kept this from being a 5 star for me, but I am super excited for Wren and Ellis's second chance story!!!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of Savor It by Tarah DeWitt!

SAVOR IT has two of my favorite tropes -- small town romance and fake dating! I adore Tarah DeWitt's writing style and the swoony love stories she creates. Sage and Fisher were an unlikely pair that I couldn't get enough of. I adored Fisher's relationship with his niece and the relationship Sage created with her as well :)

This book had me daydreaming about the fictional town of Spunes, Oregon!! SAVOR IT has perfectly set up for the sequel with the characters that were introduced, and I can't wait to return to Spunes!

This book has officially put me back in my small town romance era! If sweet and spicy summer romances are your thing, you need to add this to your TBR.
