Thank you Montlake for the ARC!

Jewel E Ann does it again! No surprise there, she continuously writes stories that squeeze my heart. From No Where was a great follow up to From Air. I was intrigued by Maren in the first book and was thrilled to see the second would be her love story. The connection between her and Ozzy was palpable, full of tension and swoony moments. The dynamic with Lola made everything feel higher stakes and we get bigger rewards when there’s a child involved. I loved every bit of it!

L9ved this! Massive fan of Jewel E Anne. A brilliant new book with a new series. Loved the characters. They feel so realistic and relatable. I really felt for them

Oh my gosh, I really loved this book! I was hooked from the start and completely wrapped up in Maren and Ozzy’s story. Maren was such a badass—strong, loving, and so incredibly understanding. And Ozzy? Ugh, my heart!! He was the best dad and just the sweetest, most thoughtful guy. Watching him fall in love again while carrying so much guilt had me feeling all the emotions.

And let’s talk about Lola, what a little rockstar! She was strong and brave, and I felt so proud of her the entire time. The story had the perfect mix of heartache, healing, and love, and I devoured every second of it!!

3.5⭐️

bueno… tengo muchos sentimientos encontrados. Primero es un libro de Jewel E. Ann y jamas voy a poder no amar sus historias y disfrutar de su forma de escribir. Segundo, a Maren ya la conocíamos de From Air y sabia que me iba a encantar, protagonista 100% badass! pero siento que el libro se enfoco mucho mas en Ozzy y Lola que en la historia de amor de ellos y eso me encanto, pero siento que quedo afuera un poco el que sea en el mismo mundo que Form Air y no vivimos mucho a Maren relacionandose con Will, Jaime, Fitz y todo el pueblo, que si tuvimos en el libro anterior, como el trope de found family! aca siento que fue mas conocer a Ozzy y Lola, aprender de sus traumas y sus enseñanzas de vida, y ojo! me encanto eso y siento que fue hermoso, ver como Lola va superándose dia a dia y como Ozzy lidia con la muerte de su esposa, como cria a su hija y como lidia con sus suegros y a la vez como va enamorándose de Maren y haciendo que todo en su vida logre funcionar! peroooo, siento yo, que perdió un poco la mística el que se enamoren tan rápido ellos y que por mas que sus conflictos eran de relación siento que fueron muy enfocados a como Ozzy podia lidiar con todo. No es que este mal pero no se me falto algo mas que ni se que es!
Igualmente el libro me encanto, me lo devore y lo super recomiendo. Y obviamente que espero el libro de Will asap!!!!!

pd. no llegue a leer el libro a tiempo cuando me lo mandaron pero gracias a la autora💗 a Valentine Pr y NetGallery por la copia avanzada de esta hermosa historia <3

Ozzy is this beautifully broken man. He lost his wife in an accident and taking care of his daughter. I loved this book.
Jewel E Ann gives another amazing story. Maren is strong and independent and falls for Ozzy who is trying to keep his life together.
Their connection is real. He doesn’t feel worthy but Maren shows up for him time and time again. She has loss too.
This book is about not judging people and loving them and being there for them.

I was so excited for more of Maren after meeting her briefly in From Air and it was an absolute joy to read her & Ozzy’s story.

This book contains the most touching, emotional & heartwarming story of finding love after loss.

Maren meets Ozzy two years after he lost his wife in an accident. Leaving him as a single father to Lola, he is doing his best to support his daughter through their tragic loss.

Ugh, this story was just perfect. The complexities of all of the relationships and emotions involved, Ozzy’s steadfast support of his daughter in the face of her significant trauma and the depth of Maren’s affection and patience endeared them to me so much.

Honestly, these characters are just so perfectly imperfect - I could not have rooted for them more. Their exceptional flirty banter, vulnerable honesty and hilarious attempts at a hook up, woven between emotionally-charged conversations, had me smiling, laughing and crying.

Lola brought so much warmth to the story. She was going through it, but she was so brave, witty, confident and thoughtful. She was her dad’s unwitting wingman and she stole the show for me!!

I have said it before, but I can never pinpoint exactly what I love about Jewel’s writing. Her stories are just so easy to love. She creates the most realistic and relatable characters I have ever read, and I come away from her stories changed and content and From No Where is no exception!

Another amazing instalment of this series. I’ll be genuinely gutted when it’s over.

This is a fabulous story, these characters were so well written, i was addicted to this story right from the start of this book. highly recommended.

If you’re into single dad romances, then FROM NOWHERE, is for you! We’ve previously met Maren Bernabe in the first book, From Air, as she is one of Fitz’s and Jaime’s roommates.

You know I love strong, badass FMCs and Maren is quite the baddie! She is an air tanker pilot (aerial firefighter) - I mean, how cool is that? At her job she meets Ozzy Laster, an aircraft mechanic and it’s like instant attraction - you could literally (ok, figuratively) see sparks fly!

Ozzy is the single dad trope personified! He is the dad to a cheeky 10 year old daughter named Lola. He’s just getting back into working after caring for his daughter for the past two years. The last thing on his mind was meeting someone as he’s still grieving from the death of his wife.

But Maren knows loss all too well; she lost her brother, Brandon, 3 years prior. Maren and Ozzy could not be more opposite (grumpy x sunshine lovers, rejoice) but still be so similar at the same time. They’re both trying to learn how to navigate life while grieving the loss of their loved one.

Ozzy is a fantastic dad and I really felt for him; trying to balance work, his daughter, his in-laws and now, love. Maren was patient and took everything in stride. She not only fell for Ozzy, but she fell for Lola, too.

The book is a slow burn but it doesn’t feel like that at all. Their love is a complete whirlwind - they have an insta-love but timing is never quite right for them until it is. Loved all the fun banter and hilarious missed opportunities between them! I absolutely adored Lola and I know you will, too! 4.5⭐️

Another incredibly written book by Jewel E. Ann! Her books are always so raw and real with the added touch of wit for the perfect balance. You can be crying one second and laughing the next.

I loved Maren & Ozzy and the way their relationship blossomed. Their initial meeting was more than awkward but worth every square on that role, iykyk. Ozzy is a very loving single dad and is a very lovable MMC just with how protective he is over his daughter and how sensitive he is to her past trauma. He not only has to fight his own internal battles about letting Maren into their lives, but also the ones coming at him in the form of Tia, Ozzy’s late wife’s mother.

I love how much Maren loves Lola from the very beginning. She was such a great role model to Lola and helped her conquer a fear that had taken hold of her life. How she loved Lola with her whole being made me love Maren’s character that much more.

From Nowhere by Jewel E. Ann

5 stars

“I’m a goner. Single dads who say all the right things, pick the perfect number of wildflowers, and have the perfect hand brush before riding off into the sunset on a bicycle are officially my new favorite drug.”

The best meet cute. The slowburn. The chemistry. The single dad trope. The 6 flowers and handwritten notes. The sassy 10 year old daughter. From Nowhere was an emotional book of healing that left me crying, swooning and happy.

“The right guy can make any woman feel like a girl - a giddy, emotional, bursting-with-excitement girl.”

Maren and Ozzy are relationship goals. Be still my heart.

I am obsessed with roomies Will, Fitz, Jamie and Maren and their love stories! I cannot wait to read about Will’s story. I have a feeling that the Wildfire series will live forever in my head rent free.

“I will never stop thinking of myself as a fortunate man despite life’s tragedies. It’s never the things I see coming that take my breath away. It’s the moments that come from nowhere.”

4 1/2 stars

I really enjoyed Maren's story. Who would have thought she would end up with a single dad - - let alone one who had been through so much and was still working through so much.

Ozzy snags Maren's heart one sweet act at a time. The biggest way that he wins her over is through his love of his daughter, Lola and how he works to help her work through her struggles following the death of her mother. It's not an easy relationship for either Ozzy or Maren to be in but they are almost instantly invested and unable to walk away. It's as if they know almost from the beginning that there is something special there - - something worth the work they will have to put in.

It's an enjoyable and sweet read with some spiciness too just to keep in balanced. I look forward to getting Will's book next.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

Thank you to Valentine PR, NetGalley, Montlake and Jewel E Ann for an arc copy of this book.

Ozzy and Maren were just wonderful.

Book two in the series, I think this book was better than Jamie and Fitz.

I just loved Ozzy from the start. His priority is Lola, his daughter. He wasn’t out looking for someone to fall for. It just happened and in the weirdest way. Luckily Maren didn’t make it weirder than it already was or at least she tried not to.

The banter between these two was perfect 👌🏼. I laughed and cried and just wanted to live in their world a little more.

I was not a fan of Ozzy’s ex in-laws. They really thought they could control him. But as always love comes through.

It was great to see Fitz, Jamie and Will again and their endless razing of each other. They’re a great bunch of friends.

When Maren hits some turbulence. Ozzy finds it difficult to deal with and with the help of Lola he is able to be there and get over his fears for falling for Maren. Maren on the other hand gives him space and waits, accepting that he is struggling. It’s through tough times that we learn who belongs and who runs. Who is worth it and who to let go.

I am looking forward to Will’s book but I think that From Nowhere will be my favourite in the series.

Can’t wait to read more from this author, she is fast becoming a favourite of mine.

Maren, Ozzy & Lola got 5🦋

From Nowhere was so good!! I loved Ozzy, Maren, and Lola. Their story was beautiful and so week written. Jewel E. Anne did an amazing job with this story. It was so complex and full of emotions. I loved Ozzy. He was so sweet and caring and real. Lola was great and Maren was perfect. I loved all the emotions and humor. This book had it all. And the spice was hot and slow burning. The ending was perfection and left me so happy. I cannot wait for Will's story!

Sad day, I was highly anticipating this book but I found that certain themes just didn’t sit well with me. I will try more Jewel E Ann books in the future as the first in this series was a 5 star for me.

Maren is a firefighting pilot. She meets Ozzy while she's in the men's room. The ladies' room is out of order. Not only does she need toilet paper, but she needs a tampon. He's a plane mechanic.

Ozzy is a widowed father of a precocious 10 year old. His former in-laws moved in with him when their daughter, his wife, died in a car accident.

Ozzy's daughter is scarred, both physically and emotionally. The two of them travel only by bicycle. So the romance between Ozzy and Maren seems unlikely at best. And yet, there are flames erupting from both of them. But they can't date like normal people because of 1. The bicycle situation, 2. The daughter, 3. The former mother-in-law laying down the law and blaming Ozzy for everything that has gone wrong in their lives.

Yet love always finds a way. So do two passionate people. Can they find their way into a more typical love relationship?

This book is full of passion, angst, and funny bits that made me laugh out loud. I think this is the best of the series, so far.

"Maren thinks she falls in love with me every day, but I fall deeper in love with her every second of every day."⁣
⁣
First off, I am living my best life with Jewel giving us books from two different series that I'm loving with my whole being. Secondly, I try to go into her books blind since I know I'll love them. Right when I found out there was a single dad in this book, I was ECSTATIC. ⁣
⁣
It was the first sentence that made me fall in love. I may have started reading laughing, but there were plenty of tears from me. It was a treat revisiting Will, Jamie, and Fitz. Getting to know Maren and Ozzy and seeing their love blossom was so special. Lola though, she was absolutely precious. ⁣
⁣
I almost don't want to read anything right now so I can still bask in the beautifulness of From Nowhere.

“Love doesn’t need anything more than a chance.”

No matter how many stories I read from Jewel, my heart is never ready for the emotional journey her words take me on. And I absolutely loved Ozzy and Maren’s perfectly imperfect love story. It was an absolutely beautiful story of love after loss that moved me profoundly. There is no perfect timeline for healing from grief and the aftermath that an unexpected death leaves on our heart. And this story proved that sometimes fate has a way of stepping in when we least expect it. Ozzy and Maren’s hilarious bathroom meet cute was meant to be and brought a jolt of life back to Ozzy and his daughter Lola’s world.

“I don’t know if any part of me deserves any part of her, but I’m going to do my damnedest to pretend that every part of me does.”

It was so satisfying to see Ozzy and Maren connect with each other even if the timing was all wrong. Every moment of sneaking around to get time together, the sweetest flowers and notes and the best donuts around had me falling more and more in love. Their lives had both been impacted by loss and each dealt with it in the only way they knew how and my heart ached over the lasting effects the accident had on Lola. But I loved watching Maren connect with her and show her how to be brave again. They all needed each other and even when the road got hard, they were willing to fight to come out of it together! All my love to this romance!!

“I love you, even if it scares me to death. The only thing that scares me more is trying not to love you.”

Another book that left me staring at my wall wondering what to do with myself now that I was finished this chapter of the Wildfire series…

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.

Ozzy & Maren’s story did not disappoint. Ozzy was amazing. He sacrificed so much for his daughter and tried to be the best dad that he could be to her after his wife passed. I loved Ozzy & Maren’s meet cute! So memorable. The way he courted Maren with notes, and wildflowers and banter was absolutely adorable but he also had a way with words (and a way with his tongue and hands). Having to keep their situationship a secret from Ozzys in-laws (who had moved in to help him take care of his daughter ) created so many obstacles. Be prepared to shed a few tears before you get to the happily ever after though… #worthit

I cannot wait to read Will’s book next!

From Nowhere is absolute magic! I fell head over heels for this novel from page one and was so taken with this romance! I don't feel like I have the words to truly describe how much I adored and loved this novel. Basically if you are looking to be swept up into a beautiful romance then Jewel E. Ann is here to take you on a sweet, charming, funny, cathartic and emotional journey. Ann's writing is comforting, joyful and endearing. Her characters dance with life and experience. This novel is engaging, deliciously paced, and will take you on the highs and lows of a romance with stunning characters you will wish were your friends in real life. Ann's Wildfire series has the perfect balance of sensuality, heartbreak and hope.

Maren and Ozzy are truly the perfect couple. They both have some past tragedy which gives them a level of understanding with each other. Ozzy is also a single father who would do absolutely anything for his daughter, and as his daughter begins to pressure him about dating, he happens to meet Maren at this perfect crossroads. Their romance blossoms with ease as they decide to "sneak around" like teenagers as they explore their chemistry and attraction. Their romance is sensual and sexy, it has this lovely level of humor and humanity that makes it feel real and full of depth. The relationship and adjustments Maren makes in regards to Ozzy's daughter is absolutely beautiful and Maren is such a truly beautiful heroine who sees Ozzy and understands him and the decisions he makes as well as the fact that his daughters needs must come first. I love that Maren falls head of heels for both of them, and she recognizes and know what she wants and what she is willing to do in order to show them her devotion.

I loved each page, each work, each moment and each feeling of this novel. This is one of those romances that will stick with me and I will be sure to revisit over the years. I so highly recommend this novel. I have enjoyed every novel I have read from Jewel E. Ann, and this one has immediately become my absolute favorite and solidified Ann as a must read author for me.

Jewel's Wildfire series has quickly nestled its way into my heart, with characters you can't help but fall for, plotlines that immerse you in the story effortlessly, and a unique kind of charm and writing style that makes her books so incredibly compelling.

From No Where was all this and so much more.

• Mechanic x tanker pilot
• Single dad
• Hilarious meet cute
• Life/love after loss
• Navigating grief
• Falling when you least expect it

For me, Jewel is unmatched at writing a story that makes the idea of grief, healing and courage to love again absolutely PALPABLE. In From No Where, we see this on full display, as our MMC Otto and FMC Maren (who we met in From Air) have the funniest meet-cute at work and subsequently become enamored with each other. Their love story is complicated by the fact that he's a widower with a 10-year old who suffered great trauma when her mom passed away, his in-laws live with him and don't approve of him moving on and generally, enough emotional obstacles to stack the deck against them. However, Jewel beautifully weaves a story that shows the power of the human spirit to carry on after loss, to love when it's seemingly impossible and to be brave, for yourself and for those you love.

The story was so perfectly emotional, especially when it came to Lola, Ozzy's daughter. Her growing relationship with Maren, desire for her dad to move on and her incredible perseverance was truly incredible to read. She and Ozzy are one hell of a team - and Maren rounds them out so perfectly.

This story has vulnerability and longing. Wit and quiet joy. I read it in a single day, barely coming up for air. Another perfect story from Jewel I feel really lucky to have read.
