This book was just amazing. It had my attention from the first few pages till the end. It was easy flowing and captivating. I fell in love with the characters and was fully invested in their story. I liked that the author gave enough details about the side characters to bring them alive instead of them being briefly mentioned. The book was a great mix of romance and unexpected mystery. Another great book by Jewel E Ann. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

I am OBSESSED. From Air by Jewel has found it’s place on my “life changing reads” shelf. The story was so emotional, so captivating, and so heartbreakingly beautiful with a HEA that is SO satisfying.

Jewel E Ann has quickly become a favorite author of mine. The way she writes draws you in right from chapter one, and keeps you wanting more. I couldn’t put this book down. Jewel’s writing is unreal! Think Nicholas Sparks, with a dash of tasteful spice thrown in the mix. Her stories are emotional with happily ever afters that take you on the biggest emotional rollercoaster while reading. Jewel makes sure you FEEL all the FEELS.

”𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣.”

Jaymes a Florida native wanting to spread her wings, takes a (temp) mental health nursing position all the way in Montana. She moves in with 3 roommates who happen to all work in the “saving lives” industry. Will, and engine chief for the local fire department, Maren an air tanker pilot and Calvin Fitzgerald, the grumpy, committed to being single his entire life, smoke jumper. Jaimie quickly makes herself part of the crew and her wit and confidence is out of this world! (I wanna be her one day.🥹) I absolutely LOVED the banter between Fitz and Jaymes…Honestly some of the best banter I’ve ever read!‼️ The banter turns sexy, and the ANGST?! Ohmygawd…😮‍💨🫠 The will they, or won’t they tension is CODE RED but with a house rule of no sleeping with the other roommates, Jaymes and Fitz need to navigate whatever is between them very carefully.

I won’t say too much more, because the twists and turns this story takes are jaw dropping! SO much happens and I literally messaged Jewel at the dreaded “80% -third act-problem part” and pleaded with her to confirm that the book did in fact end with a HEA… (it does by the way🥲)

“𝙅𝙖𝙮𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧, 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜.”

Thank you so much to Jewel and Valentine PR for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Infinity stars!!
♾️⭐️2.5🌶️

I'd heard nothing but wonderful things about this author's writing, so you can imagine how thrilled I was when I discovered I'd been gifted an ARC of From Air. By Jewel E. Ann, courtesy of VPR Valentine. This was my first Jewel E. Ann book, and it did not disappoint; it had all of the romance and drama I was hoping for. I've even put together a list of my personal favorite traits and tropes.

👨🏽‍🚒🚒 Right off the bat, a top-tier, blue-collar firefighter/Smoke Jumper (IYKYK,my ideal dream man is a firefighter) 🔥🥵🧯. Just do not tell my husband. 🤫
 
Another strong 💪🏼🙋🏻‍♀️ female lead (I had just read about one a couple books back) finally, because some of these main females are falling too hard too fast for these mediocre men, and she happens to be a nurse.👩🏻‍⚕️ (It made me think of Landon and Ally from The Notebook.) 😝Rest assured that I'll always be team Noah. 🥰

My favourite cliché is grumpy/sunshine foes become lovers; the meaner and grittier the better, and these two understood how to banter. I am aware that I have issues! We also can't overlook that great age gap 👱🏼‍♀️🧔🏽‍♂️ no college frat dudes insight, woot woot!

I know I mentioned some beautiful things about this book, but there were also some awful heartbreaks in their tales, some of which I personally resonated with, and watching it all develop and seeing these two basically try to heal themselves and fix each other was all the feelings. Overall, From Air is a book that will keep you captivated from page to page.

⚠️I was gifted an ARC of From Air courtesy of Valentine PR and Netgalley, and this is my honest review.

I loved this book. The romance, spice, banter, it was all so good. Then the twist at the end that connects everything together, heart wrenching. I 100% recommend this to anyone who wants romance, with spice, with banter battles, found family, and overcoming your past traumas. I devoured this in a day, and stayed up into the night to finish it.

5 “Everything” stars!

This book is phenomenal and a new top fave!! From unforgettable characters to a captivating storyline with surprising twists, From Air is an unputdownable love story that still consumes me days after turning the last page.

Jaymes and Fitz…these two…I love them. Jaymes is so witty and I enjoyed her comments to Fitz. And Fitz is broody and grumpy but for some reason he’s different with Jaymes even if he doesn’t want to be. Their banter is gold and the game they play is hilarious. The sexual tension grows until you know it’s going to combust and you can’t wait to be there for it.

"I’m unsure if I despise Calvin Fitzgerald or if he’s officially my newest obsession."

Fitz can’t be what Jaymes wants. He can’t offer love or a life with anyone but with her, things are different. He thinks about her. He misses her. She’s under his skin and he doesn’t know how it happened. When they are together they can’t stop the pull they have on each other and they can’t stop the inevitable. The development of how they become each other’s person is beautiful and I believed all their feelings as they evolved.

“I made you my person, and you don’t fit in my life, but my life no longer fits me without you.”

Jaymes and Fitz knew going into it nothing long term could come of it but still they fell. They fell a little harder with every moment they spent together. There’s no denying they belong together yet it doesn’t change a thing and their lives continue even if they aren’t able to be together. And I felt the torture of not being together.

"Jaymes Andrews is the best mistake I’ve ever made. And if I had it to do over, I wouldn’t change a thing."

Then, there are the twists. The gut wrenching life altering twists you never see coming. This author knows how to flip your world upside down and it’s exactly what she does to them. It’s heartbreaking and it takes time for both of them to heal, and when they do it is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing.

There are books that you love and then there are books that you’re obsessed with. From Air is one of those books. I found myself reading well into the early hours of the morning because I couldn’t stop myself. It is just that good. Jaymes and Fitz are two of my new favorite characters and I can’t wait for more from this series because I desperately want to see them again.

I went into this book completely blind, and let me tell you, I was not prepared for what it did to my heart. Wow, what a way to kick off a series! I loved how unique the characters’ jobs were – they weren’t the usual ones you see in a lot of books, so it was a refreshing change and added a lot of depth to the story. Learning about these different careers was honestly one of my favorite parts.

Calvin and Jaymes' story had everything I didn’t know I needed: age gap, grumpy to sunshine, enemies to lovers, and the cherry on top – found family. The emotions were so real, I was laughing one moment, crying the next, and of course, swooning throughout.

Overall, this book was just fantastic – well-written, emotionally charged, and full of heart. Can’t wait to see what comes next in the series!

An intense romance that will leave you breathless, this book will take you on a thrilling journey filled with danger, passion, and the complexities of love. From Air takes place in the rugged snowy wilderness of Montana, Jamie, a traveling psychiatric nurse, finds herself living in a house full of wild and fearless smoke jumping firefighters. Will, Maren and Fitz soon make Jamie feel like she is a part of the family they have built. Fitz on the other hand is broody and quiet but Jamie's constant teasing and challenges lead to playful banter that leaves you laughing and rooting for them to take it futher. But Fitz is hiding something from his past that Jamie just can't seem to uncover but as Jamie starts uncovering secrets from her own past she finds that she has a connection with one of her roommates that may just tear thier new little family apart. I love Jewel E. Ann's writing, she is definitly onw of the best writers of our times. Her ability to delve deep into the hearts and minds of her characters, exploring their fears and desires makes her characters unforgettable and her books must reads. From Air is a rollercoaster of a ride from swoony romance to suspense, it doesn't end on a cliffhanger but there is a book 2 in the series and I can't wait.

This was a steamy read! I loved the dynamics between characters. This was outside of my usual realm of topics to read for romances, but I was here for it. Will definitely be looking for more works from this author in the future.

From Air blew me away! I was hooked from the very first page and completely immersed in Jamie and Calvin’s (aka Fitz’s) journey. Their banter and chemistry were next-level perfection—every interaction sizzled with tension and heart. Watching them navigate the challenges of building a relationship kept me glued to the story.

J.E.A.’s writing is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, balancing angst, surprises, and those moments that make you feel everything. I loved the depth and complexity she brought to Jamie and Calvin, but the side characters, Will and Maren, deserve a huge shoutout, too. There’s clearly so much more to explore with them, and I’m already eager for the next book in the series.

If you’re into stories with addictive writing, unforgettable characters, and a romance that’s truly something special, From Air is a must-read. Highly recommend!

From Air was so good!!!! Jewel E. Ann did it again. This book was amazing. I loved the banter and back and forth between Fitz and Jaymes. They were perfect for each other. Their chemistry and love was amazing. The story was so good and easy to read. I loved the spice and the storyline. Fitz was a jerk but also so easy to love. I loved Jaymes. She was so sweet and kind and caring. The twist left me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't believe it. I was surprised and left without words. The emotions and heartbreak were perfectly written. The ending was amazing and I can say this was my favorite book for the month and maybe the year.

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Romance: 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Spice: 🔥🔥

A really enjoyable story about two people who have experienced something that has changed them in a significant way. Jaime decides to see more of America and embraces life as a travel nurse when she gets to her first stop, in Montana. Her first encounter with the abrasive Calvin leaves much to be desired, but there is just something about him. Their roommates hope she may just heal whatever is broken in him, which they joke about often. He is not interested in anything meaningful in his life, work is all he wants to worry about. But Jaime brings out something in him he cant deny and their attraction is hard to deny, despite the no sleeping with other people in the house. Their tragic pasts have other plans for them and put a massive wrench in any future they may have had, and they are torn apart. Jaime just wants to know what secrets her mother kept from her and Calvin wants to never speak about what happened to his family, fate has other plans and they will have to figure out how to live with what happened to them, and maybe find a way to move on, alone or together. I shed a few tears so be prepared! I really enjoyed it. I cannot wait for the third story!

This is a top-read of 2024!!! "From Air" is a captivating read that deserves ALL THE STARS!!!!

Words cannot express how much I loved this book! It was gut-wrenching, intensely emotional, funny, witty, thrilling, suspenseful, sizzling hot, and angsty. I laughed. I cried. My emotions were all over the place. My heart was obliterated. These characters are some of my all-time favorite. Calvin is a smoke-jumper fire fighter and a Jamie is a traveling nurse. They're damaged and have tragic pasts and trauma, but they are not beyond repair. They were supposed to be off-limits, but they are finding it increasingly difficult to fight their attraction to each other. But fate is quite fickle, and throws them some heavy roadblocks. Will Calvin and Jamie's spark ignite and turn into an inferno, or will fate douse the fire before it starts? I was fully entertained by the the witty banter and the shocking plot twists and turns.

Jewel E. Ann is one of my favorite authors, and this book is one of the many reasons why. She has such a way with the words she writes. Her words evoke such strong emotions and conjure up vivid scenes, to where I feel as if I am living the story. I can feel the intense emotions and picture myself as the characters. She is such a talented author, and has totally outdone herself with "From Air." I was entertained from beginning to end, and couldn't put this book down. You won't be sorry! I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book in the Wildfire series. I have purposely kept this review vague, because it deserves to be experienced going in blind. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend reading this book. This is a standalone that ends with a hard-won HEA!

I loved this. I highlighted a few super swoony lines, smiled at all their cute banter, and cried a bunch. Because duh. That's a given with this author's books. At one point I was SHOCKED at how things were going. Jaymes and Fitz were so meant to be, though. Fate may be twisted but it did it's job.

“Because not kissing you became exhausting”

One of my fave reads of the year. From Air is quirky, unexpected and absolutely magical. When I tell you that I fell in love with Calvin and Jamie. These two originally clashed but it was definitely to try to fight their obvious attraction. The banter between these two was chefs kiss! And Calvin was so swoony- I found myself highlighting a quote from him almost every chapter. And color me intrigued with the surrounding cast of characters. This one gives you all the feels- you will laugh and cry - be prepared for some angst when you least expect it. I just loved these two so much and I would give them all the stars!

I neverrrrr wanted this book to end! It was such a beautiful story about finding your person and loving them for who they are. Jamie and Calvin’s relationship was both easy and hard at the same time. From the start, they just got each other. But Calvin’s past has made it impossible for him to open up his heart to anyone. He has a job where he risks his life every day and doesn’t want someone at home worrying about whether he’s okay. But Jamie is unlike anyone he’s ever met and he finds himself falling for her despite his best efforts not to. And then their pasts intertwine in the most devastating way, testing their relationship to the max. Their love for each other was fought hard for. I loved every second of their story.

All the stars!!! This masterpiece releases tomorrow and it is a MUST read. This book has it all. You will laugh, cry, swoon and fall completely in love with the characters and story. The banter between these two had me laughing SO hard and the twist I didn’t see coming kept me glued to my kindle. I don’t know how Jewel does it every time to me but gosh this book will be with me for a very long time. Easily one of my top reads. I can’t wait for more from this series.

This is the second book of Jewel's I've read (Sunday Morning being the first, which immediately made me a fan for life). And for the second time, I am out here emotional, a bit raw but so full of that special joy that comes with reading a truly incredible book.

Here's the short story:

• Firefighter MMC
• Traveling Nurse FMC
• Age Gap
• Angsty and Emotional AF
• Roommates-to-Lovers
• Forced Proximity
• Found Family
• Grumpy/Sunshine
• Tragic Past/Secrets

The longer version starts off with the fact that I went in knowing literally nothing about this book but suspecting I'd love it with my whole heart. I was not wrong.

This story of Calvin and Jamie, smoke jumping firefighter and traveling nurse who becomes his roommate, is overflowing with really smart humor, incredible found family, truly gut-wrenching past tragedy and grief, and a kind of healing journey that had me reading through tears. It was compelling and captivating, with a plot that will keep you turning the page. It has a kind of depth and nuance that only a REALLY talented writer can pull off with ease. And damn, did she ever.

This one is special, friends.

Jamie and Calvin stole my heart. And this book is easily in my top of the year.

Endless thanks to Jewel and Valentine PR for the chance to read this beautiful story in advance!

From Air is another angsty, heart wrenching, wonderful grumpy/sunshine romance with a bit of spice thrown in for good measure. This story like all of Jewel E. Ann's stories have all the feels and she really makes you feel them, I loved it!! I highly recommend ALL of her books!

I received an ARC from the author and I am happily and voluntarily leaving my review.

There are a handful of gifted storytellers I can always count on for an evocative, deeply moving romance, and JEA once again delivers an epic, heartfelt read that lingers long after the last page.

Jaymes Andrews is a travel nurse specializing in psychiatric care. Her next six months will be in Missoula, MT, sharing a house with firefighters, a place she rented sight unseen. She doesn’t have much in common with her roommates, but she's intrigued by people who run headlong into danger on a regular basis. And stoic, enigmatic, smoke jumper Calvin Fitzgerald has Jaymes's gears turning.

Truly, I’m in awe of the talent embodied in this compelling, complicated, heart-wrenching romance with a dramatic twist. I flew through the pages, reading late into the night, only to wish I could spend an eternity with these amazing characters. Full of humor, steam, and heart, you won’t want to miss this!

Jamie and Fitz !! ❤️❤️
From Air by Jewel E Ann was such a sweet, emotional romance! Fitz was very careful with his heart and emotions that he created a barrier for no one to enter. Jamie changed all of that -:the powers of the right person can make all the difference.
