Savor

A BWAM Contemporary Romance

De: Jorja Tabu

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A beautiful coming-of-age story, a poignant romance, a tale of discovering one's true self... Jorja Tabu brings you: SAVOR.

Ciara McKinley's mother disappeared shortly after depositing her with her father in Chicago at the age of two years old. Determined to find out more about the woman that abandoned her, biracial Ciara leaves her hometown and her father's dynastic Black family to attend the University of Washington in Seattle. Discoveries are few and far between; she knows nothing about the Snohomish culture her Native American mother came from, including where to start looking. Lonely and frustrated, the only person who really seems to understand her struggle is also the rudest study partner anyone's ever been saddled with: the devastatingly handsome and just plain devastating Alix Nagakura.

Alix misses his brother. He misses Hawai'i, he misses the ocean, he even misses bickering with the ex and the boring routines that drove him to attend college away from the Big Island, his beloved home. He has a mission, and he won't give in until he becomes the formidable opponent of the state his people need. But in Seattle, everyone and everything drives him crazy, at least until he has to hang out with a foul-mouthed firebrand from Chicago... Who doesn't just drive him crazy--she drives him wild.

This is the companion volume to SWEETER, an AMBW romance that takes place in Hawai'i and follows the story of Ash, Alix's twin brother, and the love of his life, Phaedra. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, although--just like the explosive pair thrust together in Savor--they compliment each other well. This story is also an epic coming-of-age tale for bi-racial millenials in love and, like all Jorja Tabu romances, looks at real issues faced in real relationships. Sweet, sultry (with a dash of spanking to boot), SAVOR travels through the Pacific Northwest to Chicago and back through Sioux territory before arriving home in Hawai'i--a road trip to find one's heart.

AI Narrator

The book was entertaining. I liked Cierra and Alix( he was grumpy one) What kept throwing me off was the narrator.On one hand it sounded ok but there are no emotional inflections you get with a real narrator so it’s really flat although there is a breathlessness on certain words that you would get from a real narrator. Also the pronunciation on some words is weird.

Love

My personal preference would be for the waiting to have them emerge as a couple, to have been shorter.

I loved the journey. Enemies to lovers.

I loved the characters. The stories within the story. The politics. The representation.

I am Mexican American & my husband is African American. And he reminds me a little about Alex ;-)
