OVERVIEW:
Sage Byrd has lived in the coastal town of Spunes, Oregon (not to be confused with Forks, Washington) her entire life. She’s learned to love her small world, with the misfit animals on her hobby farm, and her friendships with the town’s inhabitants. But when her 5-year relationship ends and her ex, town-golden-boy Ian, suddenly gets engaged, Sage needs a win―something that will convince everyone to stop pitying her all the time, and to put Ian in his place. The Festival of Spunes, the town’s annual summer competition, would be the perfect opportunity. She just needs a partner.
Fisher Lange was a hotshot chef in New York City until the loss of his sister left him numb, grieving, and responsible for his teenage niece Indy. When Fisher loses his Michelin star along with his love of cooking, his boss sends him and Indy to Spunes on a much-needed summer sabbatical to consult on a restaurant opening. But when clashes with the townspeople threaten his last chance to redeem himself and a kiss with his new neighbor Sage leads to dating rumors, a strategic alliance might just be the best way to turn things around.
A deal is struck. Sage will improve Fisher’s image in the eyes of the town and remove the roadblocks he is facing with the restaurant, and Fisher will be Sage’s partner for the competition. But as their pact quickly turns into steamy rendezvous, emotional wounds begin to heal, and the pair tries to savor every moment, they start to realize that summer is racing by much faster than they would like…
Savor It by Tarah DeWitt Review
This story is a deeply touching summer romance that became so much more as you delved into the book. Page after page the slow-building friendship and growing romance developed in a fun and beautiful way.
DeWitt created characters that were complex and so real. Dealing with past hurts and yet growing through it too. I love how the main characters connected and teamed up for healing and growth through humor and a bit of craziness. Fun farm animals, interesting secondary characters, and a family worth it all.
The second half clinched the rating. These two grew together in such a subtle way with an intensity that takes your breath away. It carried from the hot scenes to their emotional connection. The heat was as intense as their love.
Savor It is a fun, flirty, and deliciously hot work that will beg you to read it over and over.
5 STARS!!
