Why is it that Jewel E. Ann books always strike a chord with me? I simply loved this one. The characters were all relatable and I fell right into the storyline. Even though I saw some of the things coming, I still loved the story and would highly recommend it.

Put simply, this is the story about the sweet new girl who falls in love with the closed off and hard to reach fire fighter. Even though he has a tough exterior, she will melt his heart and he destroys hers a little along the way. It's a solid storyline with two damaged characters trying to figure it all out - - my favorite kind. I look forward to reading the next ones in the series!

Thank you to NetGalley for the early copy.

This book wrecked me in the best way. From Air is the perfect mix of swoony romance, gut-wrenching angst, and jaw-dropping twists. Jamie and Fitz have insane chemistry, hilarious banter, and the kind of tension that keeps you glued to the page.

Fitz is honest from the start—he can’t give Jamie what she deserves. And Jamie? She knows she can’t fix him. But that doesn’t stop their love from burning bright (and hurting in the process). Their story felt so raw and real, and just when I thought I had things figured out… BOOM, plot twist. If you love angsty, emotional, can’t-put-it-down romance, you need this one immediately.

Thank you Valentine PR, Montlake, and the author for the advanced reader copy.

I enjoyed this one. I love how Jewel writes and this story is no different. The characters and the story itself made it easy to immediately get sucked into the story.

☆ Emotional
☆ Forced Proximity
☆ Found Family

From Air is the first book in the Wildfire series by Jewel E. Ann, and it certainly offers a fiery romance set in the rugged, beautiful wilderness of Montana. Jamie Andrews, a psychiatric nurse, moves in with a house full of firefighters, and the heat starts to build quickly, especially between her and the broody Calvin, a smoke jumper ten years her senior.

I loved the dynamic between Jamie and Calvin. Jamie's playful teasing of Calvin as she tries to get him to open up was a fun twist, and I appreciated how their relationship developed, even though the attraction felt almost immediate. The push and pull between them created great tension, and I was invested in seeing how things would unfold.

What I didn’t love as much was how Calvin’s job as a smokejumper, which had so much potential for danger and intensity, was underexplored. I had hoped it would play a bigger role in the story, adding more excitement and urgency, but instead, it felt more like a background detail for why Calvin was hesitant to get attached.

The twists at the end were definitely surprising, but at times, it felt like things lined up a little too perfectly, which made it feel a bit contrived. Despite that, the romance and chemistry between Jamie and Calvin kept me engaged throughout, and the book definitely has its fair share of steamy moments and emotional depth.

Overall, I enjoyed the book but felt there was some untapped potential in the premise. If you’re a fan of slow-burn romance with some intriguing secrets, From Air will keep you hooked. Looking forward to seeing where the series goes next!

TW: Death Of Loved Ones, Colon Cancer (off page), Emotional Trauma, Grief

OMG y'all! I absolutely loved Fitz and Jamie's story. I couldn't put it down. I laughed, I cried, I was invested from the first page. I highly recommend From Air. Highly! You won't be disappointed.

"You kissed me, Fitz. Twice. Why did you kiss me?"
"Because not kissing you became too exhausting."

Rating: 4.25/5

- travel nurse x smoke jumper
- age gap (he's 10 years older)
- roommates
- secret romance
- 🌶️🌶️/5
- dual pov
- dual narration (via KU) by Ada Sinclair and Nelson Hobbs

POV: Travel nurse Jamie moves to Montana on a six-month assignment and feels instantly drawn to her smoke-jumper roommate, Calvin. With a no-fraternisation household rule, they keep things casual and secret until she moves away on another assignment... and their pasts collide.

Jamie and Calvin's relationship is filled with banter, tension, heat, and heartfelt moments. It's also complicated with a capital C. Calvin is vehemently against love and marriage, and then along comes Jamie, turning his world upside down. They go from reluctant friends to secret friends with benefits (secret tattoos and become each other's person included) to long-distance friends.

Then things get more complicated with a typical Jewel plot twist. I kind of saw it coming, but not all of it! I personally love the drama, and the ending is perfect for them.

"I ground him. And he makes me soar."

What to expect:
• Age Gap
• Firefighter/ Nurse
• Enemies to Lovers
• Forced Proximity
• Grumpy/Sunshine
• Someone’s in Denial
• Angsty
• Tragic Past

First I loved the fact that this was based out of Montana! As a girl that lived there for 7 years it’s rare seeing books written about that area!

This book follows a travel nurse who is looking for a fresh start after something tragic happens. And a wildfire firefighter who doesn’t want the attachments of a relationship after he lost his parents.

Just so happens that these 2 become roommates and one of the house rules is “no sleeping with roommates”…. Simple task… right!? So they thought till they leave the confines of the shared space!

5 Stars!
Jaymes Andrews loves her job as a travel nurse. She doesn’t like to be in one place for too long. Feeling the need for change she takes a temporary six month position at a psychiatric clinic in Montana. She leaves warm Miami to move to Missoula and live in a house with firefighters. Her new roommates are strangers who soon become friends. She can’t help being fascinated with the one that’s a broody loner. Calvin is socially awkward and often grouchy, but there’s something about him she’s drawn to. He’s part of an elite group of wildland firefighters called smoke jumpers. At times he’s emotionally exhausting, but they still enjoy pushing each other’s buttons. As they clash sparks ignite between them. As feelings grow secrets are revealed, and the truth threatens to destroy something special.

From Air by Jewel E. Ann is the first book in her all new Wildfire series. It’s a unique, age gap, tortured lead, grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, roommates, enemies to lovers, forbidden romance about friendship, self discovery, healing and found family. It’s a beautiful love story full of humor, secrets, mystery, angst, amazing chemistry and fabulous banter. I absolutely adored Jamie & Fitz together, and can’t wait for more in this world. Every time I read a Jewel E. Ann book I’m transported to a new magical place that captivates me. I always think each story is my favorite, and then she writes another brilliant book I can’t quit thinking about. <333

3 generous stars

This is my second disappointment from this author. She has written two of my favorite books ever, but it feels like she’s been putting out a lot of mediocre stories lately. This one felt over the top. I don’t think we needed that twist at the end. It felt unnecesssry and like it was trying to contrive emotion or angst.

Cute romance book with all the feels 💖

Jaymes is a traveling nurse that brings her to Montana. There she becomes the roommate of a broody smoke jumper (firefighter type). Their banter was entertaining and their character development was great.

this book was a whole whirlwind of emotions and i could not stop reading it. it was so good and such a great story. i loved every minute of calvin and jayme’s story. jayme went through so much and had so much growth throughout this book as well as facing so many curve balls thrown at her and she came out on top and with so much love in her heart. calvin the sweet man faced so many tragedies and life just kept coming for him and he just kept pushing on and ended up with the life he truly deserved after all that sadness. highly recommend this book, it was heartwarming and just a great book to read.

From Air is an emotional rollercoaster. Jewel E. Ann's start to her newest series is an epic romance with all the feels and some very interesting twists and turns. Ann knows how to craft a romance that will take you on a journey and her newest release does this beautifully. Ann's writing is evocative, banter filled and heavy with empathy. From Air is a story about two people who are the perfect match for the other, it is their journey of understanding, it is a story of grief and growth, it is a romance about trust and compassion. This novel is definitely not one to be entered into lightly, but if you give your trust to Ann she will provide you with a gratifying and heart warming romance that will stay with you.

This first installment in Ann's Wildfire series is the romance between a traveling psychiatric nurse-Jamie, and a smoke jumper-Calvin. They both have complicated pasts, but there is a bit of a mutual understanding between them because the both were home schooled. Jamie is tasked by their other roommates to try and fix Calvin, who is very private and closed off. As Jamie and Calvin begin to open themselves up to each other, they not only discover a mutual attraction, but a deep respect and pull to the other. I loved watching their journey, it has many ups and downs, and it packs an emotional punch along every step. I always enjoy seeing a hero who is set on not falling in love find himself in the inevitable downslide. Calvin does have an emotional past which has kept him from giving his heart to another but Jamie chips away at him piece by piece until he has no chance of not falling head over heals for her. Jamie and Calvin's romance really lives in the soft moments, it is through small gestures, glances and touches that the pull between then thrives. Their chemistry is intense and sensual, but they both also have this rich understanding of the other and we see they way they care for the other always being forefront in their actions.

From Air is very highly recommended by me. Jewel E. Ann will make you easily fall in love with this romance and the people who embody this story. She will keep you on an up and down ride that will be so worth the journey. I am so excited to watch this emotional series grow!

Thank you so much to Valentine PR for an eARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Do you enjoy angsty, twisty romances? Then this is one for you to add to your TBR. My god, I was not expecting the way that this story turned out. Jewel E Ann is so masterful in these types of stories. Her characters are incredible, complex and quirky people. This story is about Jaymes, a psych nurse that embarks on a travel nursing position and moves to a new place with new roommates. She meets Calvin who is a smoke jumper and the spark fly ;). I enjoyed every single character in this story. There is spice, drama and some suspense. I also listened to most of this on audio and the narration was so good. They sounded just like I expected the characters to be.

This one goes from 0 too 100 right out of the gate! Wow what a start! If you hate a book with a slow start this one is for you! However, I did have trouble with the speedy timeline at the start.
The banter is GREAT between Jaymes and Fitz and hooks you from the start! I loved the side characters characters too!
There was ALOT of angst so if you love that then this one is for you! Im not a huge angst lover so it wasnt a favorite read of mine but I will definitely be trying more from this author in the future because it was very well written!

Thank you Montlake for the eARC, sorry this is so late!

Jewel E. Ann is amazing she writes in a way that no other author does. She makes me feel good then tears you apart and just builds you back. She adds some twists that you don’t see coming. She also creates these romance stories and that are amazing.

From Air was absolutely amazing. Not to give away a lot but I will be thinking about this book a lot and as I sit here and think about this book more and more I realize I can’t wait for Jewels next book.

Be ready cause this is a book I’ll be posting about a lot because Jewel knows how to make you think about a book and not stop.

Another Jewel E Ann book I couldn’t get enough of! From Air has so many things I love in a romance and the author put them all into the story perfectly. It’s filled with witty banter, angst, romantic tension, off limits/forbidden romance, age gap, mutual pining, emotional baggage, and fun. The two main characters were great together. I really believed in their romance and loved how the tension built between them until they couldn’t take it anymore. (I mean when a dry h*mping scene gets you hot, you know it can only go up from there and it did) The FMC was real and relatable. I felt I saw myself in her. (ex: a hopeless romantic “fixer” of emotionally unavailable men) The MMC being that emotionally damaged man with a hard candy shell she wants to break away at to get to his ooey gooey center. Both characters had really cool and different jobs, which I enjoyed reading about.

All in all, I devoured this book and the twist was gut wrenching! I was literally sobbing and felt every ounce of what the characters were feeling throughout the book. My one and only complaint is that I wanted just a little more from the epilogue. But that’s totally a personal preference and doesn’t take away from the story at all.

I love anything and everything Jewel E. Ann. She comes up with the most unique, engaging, and romantic stories. This one is also on audio, and I can't wait to reread and listen!

My favorite book of 2024! Their relationship jumped off the page and I felt it in my bones. Their banter was absolutely everything!

Sweet baby Jesus…this story. 😭😍

The banter is bantering in this book. It’s hilarious and sweet with a side of slightly forbidden spice. (Rule in the contract says no hooking up with other roommates) Roommates to lovers, both with tragic pasts. One closed off and resistant but falls fast but quiet. The other open, loves hard and freely and so so patient.

Fitz and Jaymes….this story takes you for a ride. Emotional, gut wrenching, shocking, beautiful. Wow.

Yo sabia que me iba a encantar! Primero Jewel E Ann es una de mis autoras favoritas y nunca decepciona, y después firefighters, small town y un romance hermoso!
Gracias NetGallery que me dieron una copia avanzada de esta libro, porque tener una copia avanzada de JEA que sale a la venta en noviembre recién es como tener oro😅

La historia me encanto que puedo decir, tiene mucho elementos típicos de la autora que me gustan mucho, empezando porque arranca con toda y te metes de lleno en la historia, se hace adictiva totalmente y a mi particularmente me paso que estuve todo el tiempo esperando que sucediera algo trágico, porque conozco como funciona su modus operanding pero el plot igual me tomo un poco desprevenida y me encanto!
Jamie y Fitz fueron muy Reese y Fisher coded y ame!!!
Quiero YA una historia de Will, y de todosss!!!
