I really wanted to love this but had to DNF. Though I’ve heard amazing things from this author so I hope to read her other books and love them

Savor It has a sweet small town girl vibe with a guardian-of-a-teenager uncle spending the summer in said small town. Spoons, Oregon not to be confused with Forks, Washington. See what they did there? 😉 This one was a quick read and very 🥵🥵🥵.

i absolutely adored everything about this book. the chemistry between Sage and Fisher was there from the very beginning and i loved seeing it blossom into what it ended up as. there was fake dating, and it was done so tastefully. this book had minimal spice with is so refreshing for a romance because you could basically FEEL the tension between them and then the eventual love even without the spicy scenes. Indy and the goose had me cackling. the end when Fisher and Indy decided it was time for a change was so heartwarming and i’m so glad that Indy enjoyed being with Sage as well. all in all, i love this book!

Tarah DeWitt is a genius at evoking emotion that feels true to life whether the characters are bantering or banging. She’s got a gift for quotable lines, too. SAVOR IT is just really, really good stuff.

4.25🌟 - I enjoyed it!

I loved this little small town! Sage and Fisher were so sweet. This book was full of emotion and funny moments.

Savor It is a small town romance we all need! Sage lives in a small town in Oregon and Fisher lives in New York City. Fisher recently lost his sister, is taking care of his teenage niece, and cannot handle the heat as a head chef in a Michelin Star restaurant. He makes a deal with the owner and moves to Oregon to help set up a new restaurant.

Tarah did a great job writing about grief, loss of loved ones, burn out, and rescued animals. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and can't wait to read more by Tarah DeWitt.

Thank you Tarah DeWitt, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a nice cozy small town read! Perfect to get you into that summer transitioning into fall mood.

I loved how sweet the slow burn was. The town , the characters, and banter entertained me so much.

I’m so glad I kept on with this book even though the beginning felt a little off with the pacing of it.

I was so excited for this book, as I have loved all of Tarah Dewitt’s books. I didn’t connect to this book as much I have to her other ones. I couldn’t feel the chemistry between the two characters and felt the relationship was somewhat rushed. I still enjoyed portions of the book. It was a cute romcom, I was just left needing more!

This was such a cute and cozy read, I thought it was a beautiful, small-town romance! It was heartfelt and full of genuine characters. The beginning was a bit slow for me, but towards the middle it really picked up and I could not put the book down. I really liked how Fisher's relationship developed with his niece, especially with Sage's help and her animals (that was so cute!) I loved the summer romance aspect and thought it was just a cute story!

Thank you to SMP Romance for the review copies!

I loved every minute of Savor It, and I truly don’t know why it took me so long to get to it. (Ok, I do, once the pub day passes, all urgency leaves me and I just become overwhelmed by my backlist.)

I don’t know how to describe how vibrant these characters were or how much I loved them. Maybe if I tell you I ended up crying over a goose? Like the goose was not physically harmed, I just really cared about the characters so much that even their rescue goose was something I cared about.

Savor It has everything I look for in a small town romance - quirky characters and town events, the town’s sweetheart who has to learn how to take care of herself instead of everyone else, and a city boy who’s only supposed to be there for the summer.

Thank you to the author, publisher and @NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Now, Tarah DeWitt has been on my TBR for quite a while and knowing I would meet her at @steamylitcon inspired me to finally read her… oh and I also got this sweet approval from NetGalley.

I love me a dual perspective romance and this just hit all the right notes.

A small town romance.
A very emphatic goose.
A library scene 🥵
And just all the pining you need.

Super cute story, light and fluffy with a good amount of spice! Definitely an easy, low maintenance read for those just wanting a little escape.

I liked but didn’t love this book. It really took me a while to get into the book. I’m glad I pushed through because the last half finally pulled me in. This is definitely a slow burn!! The side characters were so good and added so much to the overall story, but I was left wanting more from the romance.

Loved this book! I liked Tarah DeWitt's previous books and am so glad I got to read this one. So well written and engaging!

Thank you NetGalley and Tarah DeWitt!

I liked this book, but sadly I didn't love it. I really had high hopes for the premise of this one, small town, cute animals, hot chef. There we're a lot of sings pointing towards this being a book for me. But sadly something about the execution just didn't work for me which made me really sad because I have loved Tara's books in the past.

This one was a hit I loved the setting and the small town romance. The chef with burn out and a teacher were a great pair. This grumpy meets sunshine story was one that was over the top cute. I loved instant attraction without it being instalove. These characters were friends to then lovers and I think that worked out so well. It has everything you could ask for. Slow burn, a touch of spice, a third act breakup that didn't piss me off, single parent, HEA, and Dual POV!! This one had it all.

I love Tara DeWitt, and after reading Funny Feelings I went looking for more. This one didn’t have quite the spark that her previous novels (Funny Feelings and Rootbounded had.) It was a cute fluffy read, I think what I was missing is the amazing banter she has previously had in her novels, and without that building, the pacing seemed off. I found times rush and times where I went back pages.

The cover is stunning and is so perfect.

This book was so fun! A journey of self discovery of sorts for the characters and the main message I really appreciated is that we need to do things for ourselves and what makes us happy, not the constructs of society and what they expect is good or bad. Sage is goals with how she lives her life and I am glad she brought that insight to Fisher and Indy. I really hope we get to come back to Spoons for more on her brothers!

Another instant classic from Tarah DeWitt! The characters jumped off of the page and ran away with my heart.

Loved it! Tarah put her whole heart into this book, y’all & I loved it!!!! A summer romcom that is hilarious, warm, quirky, & balanced spice. You fall in love with the fictional town, Spunes, as much as Sage and Fisher! Fisher’s strained relationship with his niece, Indy is also a big part of this story & it’s so beautifully done with the aspects of living with grief and guilt. Sage & Fishers love was tender but also so electric & hot. This story has so many layers & you see that with the burnout, life as a single guardian, dealing with grief, finding joy in the small things, being yourself & loving each other perfectly with each others imperfectness. The communication was 11/10 so mature & real! The “Sage advice” even taught me something! I would have loved to see a bit more at the end with the subplots only because I really wanted more of them and their story!!& the audio was phenomenal with Karissa Vacker & Zachary Webber!
