I was able to read A Taste of Sage by Yaffa S. Santos for free from Netgalley for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was one of my most anticipated releases of 2020. I hardly read romance novels but I wanted to read Taste of Sage because while reading the description it reminded me of "Like Water for Chocolate.”
I enjoyed Lumi and Julien’s love of cooking and the way author Yaffa S. Santos writes those scenes will make anyone salivate (the Majarete brought back so many memories). Lumi’s gift for Dominican fusion creations and Julien’s traditional French cooking were the highlights of the story.
This book kept me reading. Lumi and Julien just draw you in. The story will have you rooting for Lumi as well as laughing at the lobster scene. The aloe vera scene had me welling up with tears.
Lumi shows you how to survive the painful and how to grow. Julien’s character matures and surprises you.
I was so happy to receive this book and it didn't disappoint! I love the story and it just keeps you wanting more.
I loved the recipes mixed in with the story, but I especially loved how these two were just what each other needed.
I can't wait to read more from this author.
