Resumen del Editor

"An absolutely delightful treat to savor! Relatable, sexy, and beautiful."—Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception

Summer won't last forever.

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...

Filled with spicy summer fun, small-town charm, and Big Feelings, this highly anticipated romcom is Tarah DeWitt’s best yet.

"Simply unputdownable. A top read for me this year!"—Elsie Silver, USA Today bestselling author of Flawless

"DeWitt’s sprightly narrative is by turns funny and red-hot, as Sage and Fisher, who share a love of puns, develop some serious chemistry... This is a charmer."—Publishers Weekly

Loved Every Minute!!!

This is my favorite kind of romance! This couple was great! Both just trying to figure life out. They realistic with each other & honest. Love it. Not one time did I want to slap either of them up beside their head. lol! No eye rolls on this story either. Excellent jog Tarah Dewitt! Narration was perfection!

Read This!

You won’t regret it. Narrators were perfection. The story was heart warming. I honestly hope this gets do much hype they end up making it a movie, that’s how much I loved it

Perfect characters, great read.

What I liked about this novel was it didn’t drag on with the characters chemistry. Performance was perfection. Both likable characters. Zachary Webber with his performance as always a perfection. So does Karissa Vacker she is always great. She usually narrates mystery and thriller but I thought she was perfect in this character as well. All around great story, great everything. Loved it.😊

I am a sucker for a quirky small town

I simply loved this story and the characters with my whole heart. It was like a warm hug that I just did not want to end.

Fisher and Sage are perfection. They end up as neighbours—Fisher with his niece and Sage with her plethora of animals on the farm and they couldn’t have been more perfect for each other.

The banter between the two was chef’s kiss and I simply cannot get over the puns or Sage’s punny clothes.

This was the most perfectly sweet, adorable and swoony love story with the best ending. Come on—Indy and the goose?!? 🥰

Tropes:
Single guardian
Small town
Neighbours to lovers
Forced proximity
Fake dating
So many farm animals

Narration: I’ve always been a Zachary Webber fan and he did not disappoint as per usual. This was my first audiobook with Karissa Vacker and she did so wonderful.

🎧 Narration: flawless. no notes. zachary webber was the perfect fisher. his delivery during the emotional moments in this story had me in a chokehold. & this was my first listen for karissa vacker but she was phenomenal!

i will simply never be over sage & fisher. these two have my whole heart. “love is this.” 🫠 when fisher & his niece come to town it all starts with chaos, police visits & a woman in a cow robe & somehow turns into the love & found family they didn’t realize they were missing. 🥹 the way fisher falls so hard & just really gave his all even with an end date 😭 they both loved so hard. fisher & indy were one of my favorite guardian relationships. they both grow with each other so much during the story. & indy at the end with the journal? 🥹 i just loved this book. “yes chef” 🤭 & “happiest when wet” were my favorite little moments. & the spice 😮‍💨 just right. five star.

Fantastic audio

This was a great story that Karissa Vacker and Zachary Webber just knocked out of the park. Perfect romance for the summer written by Tarah DeWitt. Can’t wait to read more by this author.

Amazing summer read

The story was so great, and I definitely laughed out loud several times. The narrators I already loved from other books (I didn’t know Vanessa Edwin has a pseudonym!!), and this book was no different. Absolutely amazing writing and absolutely amazing narrating. Highly recommend this story. I’ll be searching out other titles by this author. Her sense of humor and wit are top notch.

I did savor it!

Fisher Lange arrives at Spunes, Oregon, his temporary residence for the summer, with his teenage niece and his introduction to the the town is a 911 call in the middle of the night involving "an intruder". With the police also comes his neighbor, Sage Byrd (who's related the all the cops). She's wearing a funky cow print robe and is quirky, but very intriguing, The hot shot chef from NYC is in a rut. He was fired from this job at the prestigious Marrow restaurant and subsequently lost a Michelin star. His niece also seems to want to have nothing to do with him or this move. But it's a Hail Mary given to him by his boss that he gets to set up her new restaurant in Spunes - if the town's "chamber of commerce" stops putting an obstacle to literally everything.
Sage is also in a rut of her own. Her engagement to the "town prince" ended a year ago and people still look at her with pity. She needs a win and the best thing would be to win the annual competition he always wins. She needs a partner. Fisher needs the town to see him in a different light. A deal - she'll help with his image and he'll be her partner. Dating rumors can only help them both...
I loved this one! Do you know that book that has just the right amount of everything? The hero is broody but relatable, the heroine is quirky but not weird, the teenager is rebellious but not obnoxious. Everything clicks!
It was fun to watch these two fall in love and I confess I got a little teary-eyes when they parted ways at the end of the summer (Shocker! A third act breakup that I am on board with!) and I rooted for them like they were real!
Narration: and Zachary Weber are always amazing together, but in this one they complement each other marvelously. Karissa has that melodious, sweet voice that fits Sage like a glove. Zachary is wonderful as Fisher, giving a performance that makes you laugh out loud at his big city boy in small town situations and making you tear up with all the hurt he's carrying. A million stars for both!

Great summer read

Light and fluffy and absolutely great summer read. The quirky farm animals, and girl next next-door vibes were wonderful. Very much Gilmore Girls, small town, vibes, I just wish they had developed the characters of the small town a teeny bit more because they added such great color and depth to the story.

📚Story overview & Review📚
This story follows Michelin star chef Fisher, who is struggling with life in the big city and decides to seek solace and a fresh start by relocating with his niece to a tiny cliquey coastal Oregon town for the summer. Tasked with helping to get a new restaurant for his backer off the ground, Fisher embarks on a journey of self-rediscovery, healing, and rekindling his culinary passion. Fisher’s path crosses with his neighbor Sage, and together they create a summer fling that is as sweet and flavorful as the dishes they prepare.

As a born and raised Oregonian, this story will forever hold a special place in my heart. I loved the small town rural essence that runs thick in the plot, and all of the wonderful coasty characters. The scene about the gopher I swear is lived experience for me with my dad, and I’m pretty certain I’ve been at that town hall meeting. There were some seriously funny moments, and some super sweet and tender ones too. Such a sweet and savory listen that will be sure to curb your appetite!


🎧❤️Audio performance review❤️🎧
I’ll just first start by saying, it really doesn’t get much better than this pairing. Both are two of my top narrators, and their performance on this one was superior! Karissa has one of the best male voice out there and is so passionate in her delivery. I absolutely adore her and I think she was a perfect casting for sweet Sage.

Zachary and his growly narration with tons of humor, deadpans, witty flare, and fantastic character voices just kill me. The town hall scene he does had me cackling and the rumors I heard about him whispering in the library were just as good as I had hoped. The emotion these two put into this narration was so deep. Zachary really moved me delivering Indy’s lines at the end and made me misty. How dare he make me shed my own tears! 😉
