The perfect dish for summer. Spicy, sweet, funny and captivating. I loved Sage and Fisher and wish this was a series that I could watch with the quirky town and amazing characters. I mean, who has a pet duck? I need more! The audio is fantastic and the narrators did a great job!

4 stars
This is a cute little rom com about Sage (the hometown girl) and Fisher (the down on his luck bachelor who has custody of his teen niece).
I loved the characters in this book, but it was a bit spicy for me and I felt like Sage and Fisher didn’t have enough tension developed, before becoming an item. I guess I just prefer more slow burn romances.

Still, this is a very cute book and premise.

Narrators were great and I don’t think any rom com lovers will be disappointed.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and MacMillan Audio for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a cute romance book! Small town romance is my favorite trope so I was all for this one. I was drawn to the chemistry between Sage and Fisher, and I loved Indy’s character.

I thought the audiobook was well done. I liked how both main characters had their own narrators. It prevented me from getting confused in regard to which character was currently narrating.

Plus… any book that revolves around food is a book for me! 😋

Cute read that would be great for the summer. Loved the small town setting and a chef MC. Loved the animal loving and rescuing FMC. I feel like I've been reading more romance books that contain a deceased parent as integral to the storyline......is this becoming a popular trope? This one is steamy if that is what you are looking for.

Thank you Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC.

Savor It is an adorable small town romance between a hotshot chef and his neighbor. Fisher reluctantly moves to the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon with his moody niece in order to help open up a restaurant for his boss. Sage loves her town and her hobby farm. Fisher is not fitting in well in the small town and after a kiss with his neighbor leads to dating rumors, the two decide to form an alliance to improve his image. However, the two find themselves having real feelings for one another.

This was very cute and I loved the setting of Spunes. DeWitt has created an adorable world and I cannot wait for a few side characters to become the leads in future installments. I highly highly recommend the audio version. Karissa Vacker and Zachary Webber are two of my favorite narrators and they are perfection as always. Overall, a fun small town romance with heart.

A delightful audiobook! It was a little sweeter than I like my romances, but it was great to listen to. The narrators were great, brought the characters to life perfectly.
I wasn’t a fan of how often the book’s title was used, both POVs used “savor” and “savor it” a few times, and it was cheesy to me. The plot was a little flat, but it was an easy listen.

3.5 stars. Thanks to MacMillan Audio for an early copy of this audiobook! Super cute, small town romance with a grumpy chef and a sunshine girl who has a small collection of rescue animals. So many things to love! The audio has two narrators for the dual POVs. It's steamy but not overly spicy. Definitely recommend for fans of Abby Jimenez and Emily Henry.

For anyone who likes a cute and slightly campy small town romance, this is the book for you. It is sweet, funny, and the characters are interesting. I loved that there was a good amount of depth to the characters and their backgrounds without being too overwhelming. Sage and Fisher fit well together and I was rooting for them the whole book. I also really enjoyed the relationship between Fisher and Indy, as well as with all of the side characters. I could easily see more books set in this world, particularly with Sage's family. Overall, this book was exactly what I was looking for when I picked it up.

I listened to the audio version of this, and I really enjoyed it. The male voice actor was perfect for the part. He fit the character well and did a great job when he had to switch to different characters. The female voice actor did a wonderful job as well. The only minor complaint I had was that the female voice actor had a slight hiss to her voice whenever she said words with "s"s. I got used to it pretty quickly, but it definitely threw me off a little at the beginning. Overall, it was a great listen and I would definitely recommend the audiobook version.

Savor It is an excellent romance with witty banter, laugh out loud moments, and heartache. This story handled challenging topics while weaving in light elements to create a well balanced story. The chemistry between the MC’s is palpable, and the sexy scenes are fantastic.

I absolutely loved the setting! I’m from Oregon, and spent some of my childhood and early adulthood living on the Oregon Coast. I loved that this book brought the whimsy of the Oregon coastline, and was nostalgic for me.

I listened to the audiobook, which had two narrators. They did an excellent job bringing the story to life. I listened at 1.75x speed (with 1.75-2x speed being my normal audiobook listening speed).

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for this advanced audiobook copy.

I loved the e-arc when I read it and when I got the chance to listen? I jumped so fast. I’m loving this beautiful dance of a book and just enjoying being back with Sage, Fisher and Indie (his niece).

Savor It is a treat, no matter which format you read it in.

Expect —> coastal small town vibes, single guardian, nosy town but in a lovable way, needing a win, atmospheric, animals and hilarity.

The vivid pictures that Tarah DeWitt paints with her words is magical. I feel like I’m savoring each moment of this story. Slowly walking my way through a field of tall wild flowers at sunset with my hands gently brushing through the petals. It’s just the most luxurious feeling of not being pressed for time and being fully present in this moment of bliss.

Thanks @stmartinspress and @macmillan.audio for my early copies. #smpinfluencers #MacAudio2024

This was definitely the right book at the right time. I was smitten with Sage and Fisher from the start. I’m the rare one that loves the chase, so a slow burn romance works for me.

This one has some of my favorite things. A small town, witty banter, lovable characters and some heart warming moments. Oh yeah and some spice.

I rooted for these two from the start and the more I learned about Fisher, the more I loved him. I mean seriously he does some swoon worthy things.

Their chemistry leaps off the page and their supporting characters are just as quirky and lovable as the main two.

I thought this was going to be a sweet palate cleansing read, but I got a little choked up on more than a few occasions.

Karissa Vacker and Zachary Webber knock the narration out of the park. Once I switched over to listening, I couldn’t stop. Both of them do such a great job with not only the main characters voices, but Fisher’s niece Indy. They both brought her grief out and had me wanting to hug her.

All the stars from me.

Okay heres the thing, at first i was a little hesitant about reading this book because i just felt like everything was happening so fast and the plots that were occurring were only briefly talked about and some weren’t even mentioned again after. Half through the book the story did start to come together but again once we got to around 70% everything started to pick up and we were moving too fast that by the end of the book it felt as if there something lacking. Overall i did enjoy this book and i would definitely recommend if you want something cute, spicy but not too plot heavy. The narrators did a great job at making me feel the emotions of the characters through their voices.

Thank you to SMP Romance and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy and to Macmillan Audio for the complimentary audiobook. These opinions are my own.

I love a small town romance set here in Oregon. Sage has always lives in Spunes. Fisher and his niece come for the summer, so that he can establish a new restaurant and he finds his way again.

This is a lovely small town romance that truly explores the draw of small towns as well as their drawbacks. I found it insightful, as it made me truly reflect on where I live and what opportunities it opens and closes. And I loved all the descriptions of Oregon, especially the landscape, the plants and gardens, and the canoe races.

Some of this book was deeply emotional. I loved Sage and felt so deeply for her, and I wanted good things for Fisher and Indie as well. I would have liked a bit more to the ending both for the romance and a few other plot points. But overall, the story was quite enjoyable.

No surprise, Karissa Vacker and Zachary Webber were absolutely fantastic at performing the audiobook. Both are favorites of mine, and they nailed all the emotion and fun of this novel.

This was a good debut but just an ok read for me. I didn't really connect with the maon characters, and not a lot happened. Female narrator always good but tiring of male narrator's female voicing.

Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for the audio arc, all opinions are my own.

Fisher is an ex-Michelin star chef sent to small-town Oregon to consult on a new restaurant. He is feeling down in the dumps about himself while also trying to raise his teenage niece. Sage Byrd lives in small-town Oregon, and happens to be the new neighbor. She has a small menagerie of animals and has an ex named Ian(?) Overall, I did really enjoy this book, but it did lack depth. This is just a fun small-town, tryst for the summer romance! My biggest gripe is the author specifically has Fisher coming from small-town Nebraska, but then states that he took a date to Waffle House? There are no Waffle Houses in the midwest.

When the audio first began I almost quit, but once the man's voice began it got more tolerable. I did notice some weird editing errors mainly at the end of Sage's chapters where there was half a word more that didn't get edited out. Some things were mispronounced also, and that always takes me out of the story.

So glad a friend on bookstagram recommended this one! If you loved Nina and Ollie in Luck and Last Resorts by Sarah Grunder Ruiz, this is the book for you. I loved the honesty and growth between Sage and Fisher, and all of the little animals along the way. There are deeper themes explored like grief, loss of a parent/sister, injury, heartbreak, etc. but they all felt handled with care. And it was refreshing to read the way grief was so openly talked about without trying to fix it, or make it better, or gloss over it. This was my first read from this author and I’m definitely interested in reading more from her.

Thank you to the publisher for the ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was soooooo spicy! I loved the sweet love forming from the beginning. I loved the storyline, and it kept me on my toes wondering how this would all come together.

Tarah DeWitt has a captivating writing style that is just so easy to read. Combined with the on-point narrative voices of Karissa Vacker and Zachary Webber it was so much fun to listen too.

I'm a fan of small-town romance just for the cozy vibes and how the characters play out in that setting. The MMC heads from New York and seeing his change of heart towards the new setting was heartwarming. Sage struck me as a particularly humorous character because of her comedic timing. She's hilarious and so perfect. I remember being in a mall and just grinning to myself at this ridiculously funny scene. It's the way the dialogues are written so thoughtfully to spotlight some tough topics and make them lighter.

When I say I detest going over the initial chapters of a book most of the time, I mean it, and it's shocking how the beginning was the most enjoyable part of this book. All those scenes are so fresh and vivid, I couldn't have hoped for a better first meet with the MCs. Such a brilliant book, I promise you will literally savor it!

Chef Fisher Lange and niece Indy move to a small town next door to neighbor and sweetheart Sage Byrd as a consult for a new restaurant. This is just something he needs to clear his mind and get his groove back after the death of his sister. While Sage is recovering from her last relationship who apparently is now engaged to someone else, she doesn’t realize how much she falls into step with Fisher and Indy. Will this temporary friendship turned more become permanent?

This was my first Dewitt book and I liked it. It’s been a while since I’ve read a small town romance, so I was invested, though I must say the first half dragged a bit for me. I enjoyed all the small town elements, side characters, and Indy’s role in Sage and Fisher’s relationship. I will definitely be reading more of Dewitt!

I mainly listened to this one and the dual POV narration was excellent.

This is a new to me author and I’m loving the flow. This beautiful written small town, grumpy/sunshine, and slow burn romance was enthralling. Bonus points for the chef! I love all things dealing with cooking.

This dual narrators did a fantastic job at capturing all the emotions rolling throughout the novel and it’s one of the best I have listen to so far this year.

If you’re a mood reader like myself, this novel is perfect for satifiying the itch of a cozy, small town, GxS, slow burn, forced proximity, grief healing and so much more.
