Really enjoyed this second book of the Wildfire series! Izzy's daughter, Lola, was by far the star. I fell in love with her on the first page! By I loved Ozzy and Maren too.

If you love a good meet cute this is the book for you! This is one of the most unique ones I've read in a long time.

Like many Jewel E. Ann books this one has quite a few triggers warn so please check those. Lola and Ozzy have been through a lot before the boom even starts and then of course more things come up.

I love books where trauma is portrayed very realistically. I also love books where the adults all go all in for the child. Lola has a whole army surrounding her and I love it.

I highly recommend this for fans of single dad romance. Ozzy is a great dad just trying to figure out life and take care of his daughter. You'll love him.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley but I also listened using the read/listen copy on KU. This is my honest review.

This was the second book in the Wildfire Series and Ozzy and Maren and Lola stole my heart. This book pulls at your heartstrings and has you routing for them to find happiness.

I was moved by the depth of Ozzy's love for Lola and his understanding of her fear of losing him after surviving an accident that took her mother.

Maren and Ozzy were fun to read. She understood his need to take things slow but fell hard for the sweet, thoughtful single father with a huge heart.

Their awkward moments and sneaking out was a fun aspect of the story and the beginning of the healing process to move forward.

This story felt real. Jewel E. Ann makes you feel like you are right there in the middle of it all. That you have a front seat on this journey of healing and love. The characters were most definitely relatable making it so easy get lost between the pages.

You most definitely could read this book as a standalone but I would also recommend that you grab From Air too so you don't miss out on Fitz and Jamie's love story.

A beautifully written and emotional romance, about getting a second chance at love, healing and the strength it takes to move on after suffering loss.

Maren, a female tanker pilot, who fights fires and lives with male firefighters. She is this fierce and brave woman but her personal life is just chaos. When it comes to Ozzy, she is so patient and understanding of his situation.

Ozzy is this amazing father, who is raising his daughter on his own after losing his wife tragically two years prior. There are some things in his life that cause complications in his life for him and Maren to be together.

The emotions in this book are so raw, so real! The struggles they go through are written in a way that pulls you in, that you feel the pain the characters are going through.

So many emotions packed in these pages. Maren and Ozzy have a “meet cute” story that will definitely be told for generations lol. I love the way Jewel weaves her stories! They just make you feel like you’re right there. And she makes it so easy to empathize with all the characters even when a few moments before you may have had a very strong dislike for how they acted (Tia lol).

I hope we get a book 3 because we obviously need a story for Will and see what this whole backstory with Everleigh is about. And I can’t wait to catch up with Jamie, Fitz, Maren. Ozzy, and Lola!

Thank you tou to Jewel E. Ann, Montlake & NetGalley for ARC. My review is voluntary, and all opinions are my own.

What if your world is defined by the distance you can ride your bike. Through all kinds of weather, never accepting a ride or public transportation. That is the world Ozzy accepts for his daughter Lola. Then Ozzy encounters Maren, who makes him want to break those boundaries. Karen and Ozzy have a unique relationship. These characters are written showing real emotions, laughter, and much more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The first of Ms Ann's I have read.

Okay, listen up—I thought I had already hit peak love with “From Air” because Jamie and Fitz were absolute ‘goals’. But leave it to Jewel E. Ann to completely prove me wrong! I was barely three chapters in, and she already had me laughing, crying, and feeling everything in between.

Ozzy, Maren, and Lola? So sweet and believable. Maren is out here flying planes and building walls around her heart like she’s got it all under control—until Ozzy crashes into her life (literally, in a bathroom, no less). And then there’s Lola, the most lovable, sassy ten-year-old who’s been through way too much but is still out here playing matchmaker for her dad. The way Maren fell for Lola first? Adorable. And the way Ozzy and Maren “fought” their feelings with A+ banter before finally giving in? Some of the best I’ve read.

And let’s talk about the chemistry. The slow burn, the anticipation—it had me clenching my Kindle like my life depended on it. Every moment between Ozzy and Maren was so worth the wait, and when it finally happened? Fireworks. Explosions. Everything I wanted and more.

This book was the perfect mix of gut-wrenching angst, laugh-out-loud humor, and swoon-worthy romance. I did not want to put it down for real life responsibilities—like, sorry, but everything else can wait.

Plus, seeing familiar faces from “From Air” was the cherry on top. And now, I’m counting down the days for Will’s book because I need more. If you haven’t picked up “Wildfire” series yet, do yourself a favor and start right now. You won’t regret it!

Thank you @authorjeweleann, @valentine_pr_, and @netgalley for the amazing gifted ebook ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

I'm loving this latest series from Jewel E Ann and had hoped that Maren, whom we met in From Air, would get her chance at HEA.

Ozzy, and of course Lola, couldn't have been any more perfect for her.

I loved the precocious Lola (but seriously disliked her grandparents) and the way she tried to set up her dad, Ozzy.

Ozzy and Lola have such a sad past, and for a while, I thought that I wasn't going to get the HEA I felt Maren deserved...whew was I relieved!

This story will wring various levels of emotion from you as you read how Ozzy, Lola, and Maren learn to love, especially following the tragedies that befall them.

A tear jerker that will have you laugh and seethe in equal measure as well as fall in love with these amazing characters.

I have serious high hopes for Will's story.

I’m in love with this series. Ozzy & Maren… [sigh] 🥺🥰♥️
Lola is just too smart and has no filter. 😆🥹

“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.”

I have to agree with her. Need to take a minute.
The wildflowers and notes. Lola. Ozzy, his promise and that darn bike.
Maren… her ability to set aside her fears and hurt to see what others were feeling. The slow burn.
Great story. Highly recommend.
Loved it!

I got swept up in Ozzy & Maren’s love story, but Lola absolutely stole my heart!

Check this story out if you love a sweet single dad, a leading lady who loves to fly high, and the relationship that took them both by surprise.

This book is beautifully written and truly pulls at your heartstrings. I loved the first book in the series, but I think I love this one even more! I’m a sucker for a good single-dad and love-after-loss romance. The way they met had me laughing and smiling—I loved it.

Maren is brilliant. This woman was so patient, respected his past and boundaries, but never gave up the chase. I loved that she was the one pursuing him. Ozzy was intrigued from the start, but since he hadn’t dated since his wife passed, he wasn’t sure how to respond and sometimes felt like he was making a fool of himself. These two are fantastic together, and Ozzy, the MMC, is an amazing dad to his daughter, Lola. The little things he did for Maren had me swooning, and his emotional, intimate side was incredible.

The sneaking around added such a fun element—it had me giddy for them. Lola was also a great kid to read about.

Just read it! It’s worth every minute.

I love this series so far, and I’m really looking forward to the next book!

I had the idea to tab this read for my feelings because there isn’t another author that can make you have ALL the feels inside a book the way this woman can! It was fun to see the mix of tabs/feeling I had while I read! I was also not surprised to run out of tabs because there are a WHOLE lot of feelings in this book! Swipe to see the Tab Count.

Maren Barnabe is one badass woman! She’s a tanker pilot in the Montana wilderness for goodness’ sake! But some issues you can’t conquer by yourself, and you simply need a hand…like when there is no toilet paper in restroom and your only option is to ask the next available person to help you out. That next available person is Ozzy Laster (yep, your befuddled…read it to know why!). Ozzy is a new aircraft mechanic at Cielo Aviation, returning to work after losing his wife in a car crash that also injured his daughter, Lola. Because of this, Lola has been Ozzy’s primary focus but his chance encounter with Maren feels like something he doesn’t want to let go, and they are willing to try anything to have a chance at something more.

GAH! I loved these two together SO much! Jewel has a special way of connecting characters where it just feels like kismet! For every trial there is understanding, for every hesitation there is support, for every mistake there is forgiveness, and for every moment there is love, adoration, and so much more. Due to some extra sensitive circumstances, Ozzy and Maren are forced to sneak around, providing some hysterical moments only Jewel can create! Their banter had an extra flirty edge that made the tension and chemistry between them ignite! Ozzy’s relationship with Lola was so spectacularly special, as he navigated the fears of a little girl who was brave in so many other ways; and Maren’s relationship with Lola was so precious and tender. Their little family unit was perfect and so was this book!

You must read it!

"From Nowhere" by Jewel E. Ann is a powerful and heartwarming addition to the Wildfire series, following Maren, a fearless tanker pilot, and Ozzy, a widowed mechanic, as they navigate their whirlwind romance. Their meet-cute is awkward, funny, and adorable, but Ozzy's complicated life as a single father and Maren's presence helping him heal add depth to the story. While insta-lust isn’t my favorite trope, I grew to love their banter and chemistry, and the issues they faced tugged at my heartstrings. The focus on healing after trauma resonated deeply, particularly Ozzy's journey to cope with his loss and become a better father to his daughter, Lola. With its emotional and heartfelt portrayal of tough subjects, "From Nowhere" is a must-read for fans of romantic and meaningful stories.

4.5⭐️

I never feel like I do Jewel’s books justice in my reviews because you have to experience the stories for yourself to really understand the feelings they elicit. From Nowhere follows Maren, who we met in the first book, and Ozzy and Ozzy’s daughter Lola and how they all navigate life after losing someone close to them. As with any book written by Jewel, the story tugs at your heart. Seeing Ozzy and Lola especially, deal with such grief was heartbreaking. I wanted to just give them a big hug and tell them everything was going to be okay. I loved everything about this story, but would have loved to see more of Maren in her job. Being a tanker pilot sounds like a bada** job. Nevertheless, the love that formed in the wake of tragedy was beautiful and as always, if Jewel writes it, I’m going to read it!

(I also really really REALLY cannot wait for Will’s story!!)

Absolute loved this book! So many amazing moments that will make you laugh, swoon and fall in love with this story. Some of my favorite tropes - single dad, female pilot, found family, and second chance at love.

The opening scene is fabulous and sets the tone for the story/characters.

Izzy is a good man, dealing with trauma, raising his daughter and living with his dead wife’s parents (don’t get me started with his MIL). Izzy, his daughter, is his number one priority and he will do anything to make her happy…even if it means giving up his dreams.

Maren may be one of my favorite female leads. She is strong, determined and also has some past trauma of her own. She is amazing with Lola and becomes a fantastic influence for her.

Izzy and Maren are so amazing…from their snark, banter, to their passion, to the awkward situations and being so strong for each other.

The buying condoms scene is one of my favorites. Lol

There are some scenes at the end that will have you ugly cry…but they are so beautiful. This story will stay with you and warm your heart.

This was another great read in the Wildfire series. I have to say, I really like this authors writing style, her word choices, the pace, and the characters.
This story follows Maren and Ozzy, and while I wasn't sure about Maren in From Air, I really liked her here. She got to show her heart, her kindness, and her caring.
Ozzy and Maren had the BEST meet cute! And don't get me started on Lola..Okay, she was kind of a brat, but I got why. The only thing with her I didn't really understand was her obsession with wanting her dad to find a girl...or her trying to set him up. I could understand her wanting another mom, just so she's not different from all the other kids, but it seemed as though a "mom" wasn't as important as her dad getting out and getting some, lol.
The way this author wrote about grief and loss was decidedly a great part of the story. Ozzy was ready to get on with his life, Lola obviously was...and even though Tia was a total B and had SUCH an attitude, I got it. I understand where she's coming from and her attitude was intrinsic to the storyline.
I do wish there would have been a little more "chasing" or "earning" the sexy times, this one kinda read like instalove, but I still really enjoyed it overall. 4.5 stars!

From Nowhere by Jewel E. Ann, the second book in the Wild Fire series, set my heart on fire! This standalone romance is a s l o w-burning, soul-stirring love story that had my heart racing, breaking, and soaring all at once.
Ozzy, an airplane mechanic, meets Maren, an air tanker pilot who battles wildfires, under hilariously awkward circumstances. Their chemistry is undeniable, but they must sneak around as they explore their connection. Ozzy, a widower who lost his wife in a tragic accident, has dedicated his life to caring for his daughter, Lola, who has been struggling both physically and emotionally since the accident. Ozzy is sweet, devoted, and fiercely protective—but can he make room to love again after such a heartbreaking loss?
From Nowhere is a beautifully messy, heartfelt romance filled with witty banter and all the feels. Jewel E. Ann delivers another unforgettable love story.  One-click this gem from Jewel!

Title: From No Where
Author: Jewel E. Ann
Hero/Heroine: Ozzy & Maren
What to Expect: Single Dad, Mechanic MMC, Air Tanker Pilot FMC, Widower MMC,

tw/cw: death of a spouse, death of a sibling, mention of car crash and injuries sustained, mention of plane crash, mention of therapy,

After read No Air, I knew that Maren would be an incredible heroine, and I wasn’t wrong. Badass air tanker pilot and all round good person, there wasn’t one thing that I disliked about her. Hers and Ozzy’s meet cute definitely wasn’t romantic, yet it was perfect for them.

There wasn’t any part of this book that I didn’t enjoy (Ozzy’s mother in law annoyed me for most of the book, yet she managed to redeem herself). The relationship Ozzy had with his daughter Lola was so sweet, I loved how they rode their bikes everywhere (for a very sweet yet heartbreaking reason). Throw these two and Maren together, and you have the perfect combination. Their connection was so wonderful and heartwarming, it put the biggest smile on my face. Though it wasn’t all plain sailing throughout the book, the way in which Ozzy and Maren handled things together was amazing, not an ounce of miscommunication in sight.

Thank you to the author and @valentine_pr_ for providing me with a copy of this to read. This is my honest review.

✨overall thoughts: yet another incredible book from one of my favourites
✨ 3rd act break up: no
✨ heat level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
✨ star rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This series is captivating me. I am loving the journey the Wildfire series has been taking me on. Even though I read this book months ago, I frequently think about Maren and Ozzy, and his daughter Lola. I loved this story, the stolen moments, the love and friendship, the caring and support. I loved seeing the other characters from From Air. Maren had a lot of patience when it came to the trauma that Ozzy and Lola had faced. This was angsty and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen with these two.

From Nowhere is the 2nd book in the Wildfire series and was an enjoyable read I couldn't put down. It was an emotional tale that dealt with some hard topics and it will give you all the feels. It's a story about grief, healing and moving forward, taking a chance on love again.

The story follows Ozzy,a single dad who lost his wife in a car accident and is taking care of his daughter whom he almost lost in the accident too and Maren the neighbor and friend of the couple from book 1.

Ozzy and Maren were absolutely perfect together and from the moment they met I loved the ease of their interactions. Their struggles and growth throughout the book was well-written and relatable.

Ozzy's love for his daughter Lola, was swoony and even though it was difficult to have a relationship, I loved that he was willing to try with Maren and I loved her patience and understanding.

Apart from the emotional moments, the story also gave us angst, romance and humor and I ate it all up. This was another fantastic tale from this author and a great addition to the series. I loved it and would recommend it to romance lovers.

From the moment I saw this book, I wanted to read it. After binging on over 4 Jewel E. Ann books in the month of January alone, she has become one of my Must-read authors. I knew that I would fall in love with any and everything she released, and I could not wait to get my hands on 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.

Once I received my ARC copy of 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, I devoured it in just one day! Yes, it was that good! It is so hard to describe this book because I felt so many things while reading it but what I felt most of all was happiness. Don’t get more wrong, this book covers some serious topics but the way the author does it, it does not bog you down. While reading, I laughed and smiled so much that my husband asked me if I was ok and why I was smiling so much.

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 is a cute, sweet and happy love story. In it we see how the universe brings two people together that from the outside look like they have nothing in common but once the walls are torn down and the truths are revealed, it is shown that they were created for one another. Maren Bernabe is a tanker pilot working in small town Missoula. Ozzy Laster is a widower raising his young daughter as a single father. After an unfortunate accident that changed both his and his daughter Lola’s life forever, Ozzy is content with living life solely for his daughter. Though he would love to find love again, he doesn’t think he deserves it and who would date him anyway, Ozzy does not even drive a car, choosing to forgo a vehicle in leu of riding a bike as he helps his daughter deal with the emotional trauma from the car accident. So, when he meets Maren (which was the FUNNIEST scene ever), Ozzy now has to decide if he will continue to live the remainder of his life in guilt or if he will take a second swing at love.

There are so many things I could say about 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 but honestly, this is a book that you just have to read to understand why I loved it so much. This book was so unpredictable and fun to read. The pacing was perfect. Though over 300 pages, things happen at such a great pace that you don’t even realize how fast you are getting through the book until you find yourself at the end. It was an absolute page turner for me and at the end…I wanted more. You will definitely fall in love with the characters. Lola has got to be the cutest and smartest little girl ever. She had me laughing up a storm throughout the book! And Maren, my goodness! She was such a strong female character, and I LOVED how she did not mind taking the lead when necessary. Ozzy was a gem of a man! Sexy, an excellent dad, a hard worker, and he knew how to put it down in the bedroom! These two created fireworks when they got together and this one was STEAMY!!

Listen, I LOVEDDDDDD this book and I know for sure I will be reading it again in the future because I enjoyed it so much the first time. Run…don’t walk and get your copy of 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, you will NOT be disappointed. 10/10 I most certainly recommend!
