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!

Thank you Netgalley and Tarah Dewitt for the eARC.

Savor It is out now!

Happy pub day 🎉🎉 This is my second book by Tarah DeWitt and I loved it almost as much!! I have been in and still partly in a reading slump but this book was such a fun one to read!! We have a small town with girl who loves to garden and has tons of animals plus a chef who is struggling to remember why he cooks as well as struggle with taking care of his teenage niece. As I already stated I pretty much loved everything about this book! Need a good romance with steam then check this one out! Thank you @smpromance and @netgalley for my #gifted copy for review!

Beautiful slow burn by Tarah Dewitt. Sage and Fisher are neighbors and Fisher is raising his niece. It takes a while to get to the romance, but it was beautifully written.

Savor It is a wholesome rom-com that hits all the right notes. It's fun and flirty with lots of moments that leave you chuckling. Having never read anything by this author, I was pleasantly surprised by the more spicier content which was enjoyable because Sage and Fisher's chemistry is believable. I was a little frustrated with the back and forth between them though. Trying to decide whether to see each other or not felt a little repetitive. I also would have liked a little more chef talk from Fisher since he is finding his way back to what he loves.
But overall this was an enjoyable read and I hope to read more from Ms. DeWitt.

Thanks for NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read and review this book.

I really adored Sage & Fisher!! Their love was so soft and beautiful. The farm animals, Fisher’s niece, the nosy town, the banter!! I loved it.

The banter and chemistry between Sage and Fisher is so amazing. I'm all for a book with really good banter. This was a quick and fun read for me!

Beautifully written, messy, imperfectly perfect, heartwarming!
I loved this story. The writing was wonderful and had a unique story. I wasn't positive I would be in to a disgraced chef romance but THIS WORKED. All characters were well thought out, had depth and I loved the way the author intermingled their stories together. This would be a great women's book club read! I won't give away any spoilers but you will be shaking your head, laughing, crying and saying ahh throughout the book.

Also - what a cute cover!!!!

OMG I loved this book. This was me second book by this author and she is definitely becoming an auto-buy author for sure. I love the way parental loss was handled and was so happy to see Fisher and his niece really find their footing together. The relationship between between Fisher and Sage was perfect and the spice had me blushing a few times. I loved that there was no miscommunication and the third act breakup made sense vs being frustrating to read and as the reader, you just knew they needed more time but would find their ways back to each other. Cannot wait for the next book!

I ended up choosing the audio for this one and I really enjoyed the narrator. I gave the story 3 stars overall.

Really cute story with a lot of great tropes:
- small town romance
- FMC who grew up in small town falls in love with out-of-towner MMC
- FMC owns a small farm and hoards a bunch of adorable animals
- Single dad/guardian vibes
- MMC is a chef
- a lot of found family vibes
Truly enjoyed this one and the cover is so cute!

Very fun read with necessary (but heartbreaking) elements. The book kept me turning the page long after I was supposed to be asleep. I loved the dynamic of the couple and the niece (and of course loved Sable!). Tarah DeWitt knows how to tell a love story that sticks with you.

“It’s been a privilege to fall in love with you, Sage.”

UGH the emotion, the tension, the banter, the spice. Everything I could want in a summer read and I am SO INVESTED in the rest of the Byrd siblings. GIVE ME ELLIS AND WREN NOW.
