𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐢𝐫 is the first book in the Wildfire series by Jewel E. Ann, featuring an emotional enemies to friends to lovers, close proximity romance for Jamie and Fitz. Jamie was a travel nurse who rented a room with three friends who work in different aspects of firefighting. They have one rule, though, no sleeping with the roommates. She can’t stop thinking about the grumpy smoke jumper Calvin aka Fitz. He’s an enigma with wounds and an aversion to relationships, but she loves to push his buttons. When the sparks fly between them, will they build something real or burn out just as quickly?

The world building was top notch with amazing characters and fun friendships that bring plenty of witty banter and a found family vibe. Jamie and Fitz were funny, Angsty, and hot. I love the will-they-or-won’t-they tension that built up before they embarked on their secret affair. If you know this author, you know to expect raw and gritty emotions and mind-blowing plot twists! I adore the way the plot lines were so intricately woven with emotions and surprises. I just wish the epilogue was a little further ahead, because I wasn’t ready to let them go!😉 I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!!

Jaymes “Jamie” Andrews has decided that it is time that she see more of the country and moves from Florida to Montana. Her job as a travelling nurse will give her the opportunity to explore and meet new people. The advertisement to move in with three firefighters made her feel safe, that was until she arrived and realized that she would be rooming in an outdoor “she shed” with no bathroom. Well, this was an adventure and the firefighters, Maren a female tanker pilot, Will the owner of the home and an engine chief and Fritz, a smoke jumper. There is one strict rule for the household, no fraternization among the members of the home. That is no problem for Jamie, especially with Fritz, as they immediately strike “sparks” off of each other. Will a trip out of town for Jamie and Fritz become the catalyst that will end the hostile relationship between them? How will they now hide their feelings for each other? The humorous, sometimes snarky and often laugh out loud hilarious dialog between Fritz and Jamie made this story so much fun to read, oh yeah, plenty of sparks between them! I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

I received an ARC copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest voluntary review.
I loved the tropes for this book. The hero was a firefighter not to mention it's roommates to lovers. I truly enjoyed this story from start to finish. I will definitely read more from this author in the future

I've read many authors, but no one can evoke as many emotions in me as Jewel E. Ann. She is an absolutely amazing and talented storyteller who never ceases to amaze me with her unique stories. Her latest book, From Air, is absolutely perfect in every way and truly deserves all the stars!

From the very first page, I was completely hooked and couldn't get enough of Fitz and Jamie. The banter and humor between them were phenomenal, making me laugh out loud countless times. It's one of the best banter I've ever read. Their chemistry was off the charts. And, because this is Jewel E. Ann, you can expect plenty of angst, heartache, and plot twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This author has a unique ability to balance everything so perfectly. Jamie and Fitz’s story is a blend of humor, passion, tension, heartache and emotions. A beautifully and perfectly written love story!

This story was beautiful, heartbreaking, magical, hilarious, and all-consuming. I couldn’t put it down. The banter in this book was a solid A+. I don’t know how the author managed to literally make my heart feel like it was cracking in two at one moment, just to have me giggling in the next!

Calvin Fitzgerald (Fitz) was such a tragically beautiful character. I love that his snarkiness broke up some of the darker parts of his story. And that Jaymes (Jamie) was able to match his wittiness with her own! Watching these two incredibly strong, but complicated characters with two equally complicated pasts fall in love was everything.

The side characters were phenomenal. Maren, Will, Gary, Evette, all of them. They created their own family among friends and it was beautiful to watch them support each other and fight fiercely for one another's happiness.

“Jaymes, you’re my favorite kind of wrong.”-Fitz

Dans ce nouveau livre de Jewel E Ann, nous allons suivre Jamie, une infirmière en psychiatrie qui vient s'installer dans le Montana. Elle va habiter dans une maison plein de pompiers et elle va faire la rencontre de Calvin, un écorché de la vie. Elle va se donner comme mission de le faire s'ouvrir mais Calvin cache un secret...
C'est un livre qui se lit bien mais j'ai trouvé que l'intrigue était un peu too much... trop de drama, trop de secret, trop de longueur pour pas grand chose finalement... J'ai tout de même apprécié l'alchimie présente entre Calvin et Jamie... Je lirais tout de même l'histoire de Maren car ce personnage m'a beaucoup intrigué!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From Air took me completely by surprise. The raw emotions between the characters had me laughing one moment, crying the next, and even feeling bursts of anger. Fitz’s spicy golden retriever energy was utterly endearing, and Jaime’s sharp wit made her unforgettable. This is only my second book by Jewel E. Ann, and both have been 5-star reads—her writing style is absolutely captivating! I can’t wait to dive into more of her work. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a story that pulls at every heartstring!

This was my first time reading a book by Jewel E. Ann! I was really drawn to the synopsis because I’m a first responder myself; anything about firefighters, I’m in!

This book tells the story of Jaymes “Jamie” Andrews, who’s a traveling nurse that moves to Missoula, Montana for her new assignment. When she arrives at the shared house she’ll be staying in with three other roommates, she meets Calvin “Fitz” Fitzgerald, a wildland firefighter whose job as a “smoke jumper” requires him to parachute into remote areas to suppress fires.

Jamie is a sweet, compassionate ray of sunshine who loves her skateboard and venturing out into the world. She’s the polar opposite of Fitz, who’s as broody, grumpy and closed-off as they come. Both have suffered through unimaginable tragedy in their lives that left them both without their parents, but they deal with their trauma in completely different ways. Jamie is the fixer who wears her heart on her sleeve and Fitz is the fighter who refuses to let anyone get close. The chemistry between the two of them is immediate, much to the dismay of Fitz and they forge a friendship that is heavily complicated by their attraction to one another. They both like to tease and taunt each other relentlessly. Fitz thinks he’s the master of sarcasm, but he’s met his match in Jamie! They drive each other absolutely crazy in every way, which gives us readers a lot of clever banter and angsty moments.

As their relationship continues to cross the boundaries Fitz is so determined to keep in place, he starts struggling harder with his feelings. There’s a constant push and pull between him and Jamie. He pushes her away because he doesn’t want to hurt her, but when she’s gone, he’s lost without her. It was heartbreaking to witness him fight so hard against something he actually wanted. Throughout the book, he did and said so many things that proved he was a good man; a man that deep down craved love and understanding, but didn’t believe he was worthy. He was married to his job and was sure that that was enough for him, but then Jamie came along and set his world on fire. Once he finally realized that he was just as in love with her as she was with him, a major twist comes along and threatens to destroy everything they have together. The potential of everything falling apart had me emotional and on the edge of my seat!

Overall, I enjoyed this book; the friendships and chemistry/tension between Jamie and Fitz were big highlights for me! I’m hoping to get more of them in book three!

Tropes:
• Age gap
• Grumpy/sunshine
• Firefighter/nurse

I loved this book! So good and loved how quick the story started. The banter between characters was very fun to read. Definitely will be reading this book again!

From Air is a beautiful opposites attract tale full of love, energy and beautiful tension. Jamie and Calvin are a bewitching couple and the journey they take is one that is engaging, thrilling and easily relatable. A well written romance that has content that will keep a reader enthralled and captivated from start to finish. With characters that are endearing and complex, but totally what you can expect from an author of this calibre.

Jewel E Ann provides stories that can be enjoyed by a wide range of readers with varied preferences. There is literally something for everyone. While not always easy to read, they promise an ultimate escape which is always hard to top. With beautiful personalities and quirky habits, this story was fulfilling and a fantastic way to unwind and be swept away into the brilliant world of fiction. 5 stars.

A FIREFIGHTER'S ROMANCE
Here's to the order for a pre-Christmas season.

With Jewel, confusion and drama is guaranteed and this one could not be less, so here we have in this gripping story a romance that prevails despite the tragedies and is highly addictive.


The forced proximity that occurs in this grumpy and sunshine between a fireman and a psychiatric nurse, leads us to a found family of which I want to continue learning.

It has been a surprise to get to this book, and if you want to change professions between the characters here are firefighters on order to heat the fire of your reading.

"He's mine. She's mine."

I loved this book so much!! I was immediately obsessed with Jamie and Fitz and knew from the first 20-30% this was going to be a five star read for me. The audio was great and I was so glad I was able to listen so I could devour this!!

These two had amazing chemistry right from the beginning and I loved how they became friends and each other's person so quickly. The BANTER!! They truly just got each other, despite having some differing views on how they want their lives and families to look. Fitz was so against any sort of relationship and a future family, while Jamie knew she wanted a family. So they try to stay just friends. But of course they can't deny their feelings for too long!!

I loved Jamie!! I loved that she was a travel nurse and loved how she did what she needed to do for her. And Fitz!! He definitely had his frustrating moments and had to work through his past, but I loved how he loved Jamie. Like the little things he did, the tattoos, his grandmother, so so perfect. I loved that this was a little forbidden, we've got an age gap, a firefighter..like this has it all. And the spice was definitely spicing!

I also loved that we got a great plot and storyline to go with the romance that kept me interested and guessing throughout! Some romances lately the couple gets together and then there's not much plot to keep me interested. But this had the perfect mix of angst and plot and romance and I just had the best time reading.

I can't wait for the next book in the series, I will 1000% be picking it up and highly recommend y'all read this one!

I devoured this book. It had everything I loved; age gap, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine, and found family.

Jamie and Calvin had so much chemistry from the very beginning and it drove me crazy in all the right ways. Both characters had loss and heartbreak in their lives and they really understood each other.

The banter between Jamie and Calvin was so good. I found myself chuckling at times.

I also really liked the dynamic between the roommates. They all became friends and supported each other and it was a great thing to read.

I can’t wait to read the other books coming in this series.

The tension, banter, and raw emotion was phenomenal!
I could literally feel every single emotion on these pages.
Such an emotional book that left me honestly speechless.
These characters had such amazing chemistry.
The writing is beyond captivating and the storytelling is just phenomenal!
I can’t wait to read book two From Nowhere!

There is just something about this author’s books that I can’t get enough of. The emotions that she makes me feel and that twist I did not see coming are some of my favorite things about this book. The characters are so well written and the way she describes a scene puts me right there with them.
❤️❤️❤️

3.5 stars

This book definitely packs a lot of emotion with it.

I really enjoyed the extra twist in this book, though I was able to figure it out ahead of time.

Calvin and Jaymes have a very unique relationship, with a lot of sarcasm and joking, and at times it was hard to figure if they were being serious about certain things or not. This definitely led me as the reader a harder time seeing and feeling their chemistry.

“This woman was made for me, just not in the right life.”

From Air has Jewel E Ann’s typical angst, connection and storyline, and it’s one not to be missed!

From Air features:
🧑🏻‍🚒 Smokejumper hero that doesn’t believe in love or commitment
🛹 A skateboarding travel nurse full of life
🏡 Roommates
🤯 Twists you don’t see coming
👯‍♀️ Fierce friendships
😢 Tragic pasts

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Thank you Jewel E Ann, Valentine PR, Montlake and NetGalley for my copy of From Air. 🤍 I received this book for review, all opinions are my own and given freely.

Coming in at the 11th month absolutely swinging, From Air takes the trophy for my favorite book of 2024 yall. I knew from the first chapter that From Air would rank at the top of my list for this year but when I say this story is everything.. I mean it. Do not sleep on this book.

✨ T H E A N G S T ✨ is so delicious. This story is so addictive. I couldn’t stop reading. I finished this book in less than 24 hours. I could have easily finished it in one sitting had I not been pulled away ever so rudely for adult responsibilities.

But the plot twist?! THE PLOT TWIST. Heaven sakes. I literally screamed out. I had to go back and re-read a few pages because there was no possible way I just read what I read, right? Wrong! Holy cannoli! The way I was totally blindsided by the twist blew me away. I was literally ranting and raving to my husband in real time and texting my besties about it. To say I’m forcing this book down everyone’s throat is the Gods honest truth. I’m not sorry.

From Air is packed w smut, banter, found family, grief/comfort, age gap, friends to lovers, a dash of forbidden thrown in. A absolute and total masterpiece. A standing ovation for Jewel E Ann on this one.

From Air releases November 26! 🎉

This was the most emotional romance I’ve read in a while! I loved Fitz and Jamie’s evolution throughout the book. While I usually avoid such tragically emotional romances since I’ve had tragic things happen in real life and like to avoid, it was an extremely powerful read for me.

Fitz is a smoke jumper, AKA parachutes to remote wilderness fires and prevents them from getting bigger. Jamie is a traveling psych nurse and lands in Fitz’s town for her first gig. They are roommates and roommate rule #1? No f*cking your roommates (at home or not….hehe).

Their relationship is so strange to me, Fitz’s character is stormy and brooding but the interactions between him and Jamie are so confusing, fast paced and bantery at first but somehow they form a connection? I got vibes of lust in the beginning and not some “my person” connection vibes but maybe I read the context clues wrong?

Either way I was pleasantly surprised with this read! It’s a suspense/mysterious subplot romance with roommates to lovers trope. Both MC have extemely tragic histories so check your TW. Thank you to the author and Valentine PR for allowing me to ARC read this!!



SPICE: Low spice, very quickly rushed through and not much detail.

Fitz & Jamie – oh. my. heart. Grumpy x sunshine, enemies to lovers, age gap, found family – some of my favorite things. And all the ever-loving feels!! So, all the stars, of course. All. the. freaking. stars!!

Stars: 5/5
Spice: 3/5

Jamie is a travel nurse moving to Montana for her next nursing position. One of her roommates is smoke jumper Fitz – the grumpiest of grumps. And there’s really only one house rule – nothing more than friendship with a roommate. So what do they do when she’s the only one he seems to let in?

Oh my word, I loved this story so freaking much. Both of the characters had such tragic pasts, I couldn’t help but love them. Their banter was so much fun to read. This story was an absolute punch to the gut in the best of ways and had multiple “rip my heart right out” moments. It broke my heart and put it back together more than once. This is the second book I’ve read by Jewel E. Ann (the first was Sunday Morning), and it just solidified her place on my “if I need an emotional read, start here” author list. I can’t wait to read more from her! Highly recommend!

CW: Loss of a loved one, grief

I received an ARC copy of the book from Valentine PR and all thoughts are my own.
