Shout out to this book for getting me out of my reading slump!! The last two books I picked up were DNFers so this Jewel of a book (punny yes I know) was just what I needed! I mean can Ms. Ann do any wrong in the romance book world? The answer is nope, no she can’t! This book was the perfect combination of witty, sweet and spicy and my only complaint is was that it had to end!

After Jamie’s mom passed, she decided to become a travel nurse so she can see the world outside Miami. When she moves into a house with three roommates, of course she’s attracted to the grumpy closed off one. With her speciality in psychiatry, she can’t help but want to figure Calvin out. Calvin has a dark past that makes him want zero ties to anyone. Will he alter his view on relationships once Jamie enters his realm? Especially after they both learn she also has a dark past? You can find out next week when this book drops!!!

♾️ freaking phenomenal

I don’t have the words to explain my love of this book. The banter, the wit, the roommates, the heartache, the healing, freaking all of it. This was such an incredible roller coaster of emotions. I laughed as hard as I cried. I hurt as much as I loved.

Calvin and Jamie are top freaking tier. They are so much fun, I wasn’t ready for it to be over!! I’m obsessed with all of the side characters as well and can’t wait for Maren’s book next!

Favorite Quotes:

“If he’s not careful, I might marry him.”

“But I won’t regret anything. This love is worth the pain.”

“I will love you like a hero. Jump without looking back. I will fight for you. I will save us.”

Was SO excited to have this ARC land on my Netgalley shelf. Jewel E Ann could write a product manual and I’d love it at this point. I’ll skip the tropes as we all know I love to go in blind when I start a book. This was just the right amount of angsty goodness I needed and you could feel the chemistry come alive on the pages. It also had the perfect blend of banter and humour to balance out the heavy stuff. .

“𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙮𝙧,” 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙮, 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣. “𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙖 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤. 𝙅𝙪𝙢𝙥 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠.”

Oh my goodness! This was one of those reads where I just knew it was destined for 5⭐️’s from the beginning, but then it just got better and better as it went, and jumped right into the category of a favorite read of the year. 🥰

I mean, just going back and looking at all my highlights had me tearing up all over again! 😭

The romance was so beautiful between the two MCs. From the “forbidden” aspect, to the tension, to the amaaaazing banter between the two (I was seriously laughing so much!! Truly top tier banter!) Fitz’s pain is so real and complicated, and Jamie is soooo patient. But then, when things got all 😱🤯 in the latter parts of the book?? Oh, the pain and love and all of it just jumped off the page!

Seriously, I was expecting the romance, but the INTRIGUE?? Holy smokes! (Pun intended.) I literally *gasped*!

After two 5⭐️ reads, Jewel E. Ann has quickly become a new favorite author of mine, and I cannot wait to dive into her other books!

Traveling nurse Jaymes takes a job in Montana and ends up moving into a house full of firefighters—talk about a setup for sparks to fly! This book surprised me with its light and funny start, filled with great banter that had me laughing. While the characters fall for each other quickly, the forbidden romance aspect gives it a slow-burn feel in parts, keeping the tension alive.

Being a Jewel E. Ann book, I expected some emotional twists, and wow, the ending delivered. I was hooked from start to finish, eager to see how the characters would navigate their pasts and find their way forward. A perfect mix of humor, heart, and heat!

4.5 stars

I absolutely love this authors characters and their banter. I can never get enough of it and this book was no different. It had me smiling while reading for sure. And of course there is the emotional aspect of the story. I fell for both of these characters right away and was hooked.

Jaymes is a traveling nurse that wants to see the world. Fitz is the broody new roommate that is closed off to everyone. This story is grumpy/sunshine at its finest. I love when the guy falls hard before he understands his feelings. Makes me seriously so giddy. Emotionally they both went through so many things and in true Jewel fashion she had my blood pressure up from the angst.

The only reason I didn’t give this five stars is the time lapse at the end. To me that makes it seem a little rushed but it still didn’t take away from my love for these characters.

Jewel E. Ann always knows how to hit a home run with each new read she delivers. From Air is the first book in a new series, Wildfire, and it is a story that is emotional, funny, and sweet all wrapped in this page turner that can't be put down. First, we have Calvin Fitzgerald, a broody fireman that tries to keep to himself, then there is Jaymes Andrews, a nurse who is seeking her own adventure away from home, and finally we get to watch these two and their slow burn of a relationship develop over time. Their chemistry sparks when they are together but as always everything can't be picture perfect, and Ms. Ann loves to throw us readers twists and turns like we never expected. Be ready for the read of your lives from this author, for the sweet giggles, the emotional teardrops and the big grin we always love to have at the end of a good read. I can't wait for the next book in this series!

This was my first book by Jewel E. Ann and it will not be my last. The amount of banter, tension, and emotion in this book was nothing short of incredible. The plot twist was incredible and had me sitting here with my jaw on the floor. The connection between Calvin and Jamie had me hooked. They were perfect together.



Thank you so much to Valentine PR and Jewel E. Ann for this ARC.

This was my first introduction to Jewel E. Ann’s books, and I believe it was a very successful experience. I enjoyed the humor, the chemistry between the characters, the dual POV, and the brilliant plot with a perfectly timed reveal of the main twist. I especially loved how I managed to predict what would happen next, but only “a moment” before the main character realized it. The description of the heroine’s first flight experience truly struck a chord, as it captured all the emotions I felt when I flew for the first time this year.

This story follows Jamie, a psychiatric nurse searching for her place in the world, and Calvin — a grumpy, mysterious smokejumper with a traumatic past. Whom fate brought together to heal their wounded hearts.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves Nora Roberts’ Chasing Fire, which also features smokejumpers, as well as to fans of the firefighter movie Only the Brave, based on true events.

Tropes:
- traveling nurse & firefighter (smokejumper)
- grumpy & sunshine
- roommates to lovers
- forced proximity
- roommates
- age gap (he’s 35, she’s 25)
- friends with benefits
- found family
- open door
- dual POV

I can’t wait to read the next books in the series about other characters.

Jewel E Ann has never written anything less than a five star read. The way she builds chemistry, tension, and love between her characters has me at the end of my seat waiting for them to get together. Fitz and Jamie were no different. Their entire relationship is built on THE best banter, and I was entranced immediately in the enigma that is Calvin Fitzgerald. I loved the firefighter/nurse storyline here, especially as a nurse that jokes about this kind of relationship often. I also loved the found family of Will, Maren, and Mel, and how they all rib each other so much. It’s so relatable to all of my closest friendships, and it made me feel like I was reading about my friend group. These characters are so real and relatable all around, and I love these two together so much.

Jewel E Ann can not write a bad book - I am convinced. While I’ve only read two of her books so far, they have both been amazing. “From Air” is astounding. Jaymes and Calvin’s story is full of banter, friendship, love, heartache, and so much more. This book made me laugh, angry, sad, and even cry. I promise you that if you read this book you will not regret it.

“Our love is Magic” ✨🥹🫶🏻

This was my first Jewel E Ann book. She’s been on my TBR because I find most of her covers are gorgeous so I needed to check them out.

This book was absolutely phenomenal. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this engrossed in a story. The writing was beautiful- I lost count of how many highlights I made but there were so many parts I felt I needed to remember.

I loved everything about Jaymes and Fitz. Their banter was so on point and I loved how so many of their jokes continued throughout the whole book. The spice was perfect and didn’t take away from the story.

I was NOT expecting the plot twist. It was so well done. The end had me in tears. I feel like I could start over right now and be just as in love reading it a second time.

From Air is an emotional love story between Jaime and Fitz. She's a travel nurse on assignment in Montana and Fitz is a smoke jumper and one of he roommates. They have an instant attraction towards each other but fight it. They become friends and each other's person. That soon moves to more but neither wants to admit it's more than a physical relationship. Both have lots of family trauma and to heal from but can they? Will they be able to be together and love the other and themselves as they want?

This was addicting.
Once I started- I couldn’t stop.
The banter and tension was everything- this was emotional and so heartfelt but had amazing moments of lightness and laughter.
This was my first Jewel book but it will certainly not be my last

From Air is an emotional and beautiful love story. If you’ve read anything by Jewel E. Ann then you know to expect this. My feelings were all over the place, laughing, crying tears of both sadness and happiness.
What Calvin(Fitz) went through with what happened to his family was heartbreaking, I totally get how he acts.
Jamie had her own heartbreaking story and it even got worse, you’ll know when you get to that part. So two broken people that come together and heal each other’s hearts.
This is one of my favorite books I’ve read this year.

5 ⭐ 3 🌶️

That was so dang good. This was my first time reading Jewel, but it absolutely won't be my last. This was everything I was expecting from her; heartbreaking, angsty and beautiful. My heart was aching so hard for these characters and at one point I wasn't sure they were going to make it work, but they did and it was wonderful.

I really loved how Jaymes and Calvin's relationship progressed. The beginning of this story was so fun and filled with banter and casual spicy times, but it had this hint of darkness that kept you wondering... Then things started to come out and pieces started getting put together and my jaw started dropping. I was so engrossed and couldn't out it down as I waited for these two to figure out what to do with their love and their lives...

I'm so excited for the rest of this series. Maren is up next and I can't wait to see what Jewel has in store for her.

Absolutely loved this one — no notes. Another 5 star read from Jewel, just when I think she won’t be able to outdo herself, she proves me wrong!

“She’s the fire I will never control.”

“You’re my best person.”

“Grief isn’t an anchor to the past, it’s a thief of the future.”


Calvin “Fitz” Fitzgerald is a wildland firefighter with haunting past. As a smoke jumper, Calvin has devoted his life to serving others while assuming all risks involved. He has written off having a wife and kids, determined to never leave a family behind in the event he doesn’t make it home. He is known to be direct and honest while being well respected by friends. Calvin is surprised when he arrives home from work to meet his newest roommate, Jamie. She’s a travel nurse on assignment in Missoula, Montana and ten years his junior. With a troubling story of her own, a spark unexpectedly ignites between the two. It is unknown if Calvin and Jamie will burn out of control or if they will be able to contain the blaze for its too late.

From Air is… EVERYTHING! There is literally nothing better than watching a man who has worked so hard to build walls around his heart fall in love. Love is hard, it requires patience and sacrifices. This is a story of two broken people and the hell they must go through in order to finally outrun their pasts and find love. I laughed, I cried, and at times I wanted to throw this book across the room. This is not only a love story but a story of healing and the internal battles that it requires. Jewel E. Ann has quickly become a favorite of mine, she writes the hell out of a story! I cannot recommend From Air enough, infinity stars! This is a book you will not be able to put down. I was literally holding my breath for the last 10 pages!! From Air is a MUST READ!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH JEWEL E ANN, Valentine pr, and NETGALLEY!!

"I’m Jaymes Andrews. You can call me Jamie or Wretched Woman Who Parks in the Wrong Spot. Whatever works.”

I just love the way Jewel gets right to the point. Her books are always so easy to get into!! Banter right off the bat, is exactly what I love and need 😂❤️ BANTER GALORE, might I add, not just between the main characters, but also with/between their 2 other roommates 🥰
[Side note: I LOVE WILL 🫶]

More review to come soon.... stay tuned!! 😍😍😍

All the stars for this amazing story. I don't have adequate words to express how much I love this book. Jewel E. Ann writes the most beautiful and addictive stories, and this is top tier.

Jaymes "Jamie" Andrews is a travel nurse, landing in Montana. Calvin "Fitz" Fitzgerald is one of her three roommates. She is instantly drawn to his grumpy, antisocial attitude. According to her other roommates, Fitz is broken...and she feels the need to fix him before she leaves to her next work adventure.

Jamie breaks Fitz down little by little until she becomes "his person." I love his character so much, how he showed how much he cared with his actions when he couldn't say the words. Plus, their banter is amazing.

Their story is emotional, angsty and just beautiful.

Read this book on release day!
