Compelling storytelling Everytime!

I was lucky to get an advanced copy of Jewel’s November release, and I mean I was LUCKY! She has once again written something totally different than what she’s written before and I couldn’t put it down if I tried!

This opposites attract journey is so much more than its trope. Jamie and Fitz’s story is one that’s going to make you feel for these two emotional baggage carrying individuals. With haunting pasts and unsure futures Jewel has given us a story full of twists and turns that only she can pull off.

This one is a roller coaster, there are super high highs and some pretty low lows, but in the sweet spot is where you will live while you read this one! Do not miss this one, it’s Jewel doing what she does best, which is writing stories I love to read.

This story was mind blowing, something only Jewel could perfect. The banter between Jamie and Fitz was top notch. I laughed until I cried through most of this book. I loved watching Fitz open up his broken self to Jamie. Jamie was such a fierce heroine. This book was more than I expected, and I wish I could read it for the first time again!

If I ever need a book that is a guaranteed five-star read, I can always depend on a Jewel E. Ann book to fit that bill. Her books are just on a higher level than most other romance. From Air was no different. I knew it was going to be a winner two chapters into the book.
We meet Jaymes "Jamie" Andrews as she's moving from Miami to Montana to start her career as a traveling psych patient nurse. There, she rents a room in a house with three other people. Calvin "Fitz" Fitzgerald, Will Landry, and Maren. They have a found family kind of vibe. There is one steadfast unbreakable rule in the house, though, no sleeping with any of the roommates. But when you tell two stubborn people like Jamie and Fitz not to do something, it's like dangling cheese in front of a mouse. 🤣 (IYKYK)
But both Jamie and Fitz are guarded. They both have tragic pasts, and that cause them to erect walls around their hearts. Especially Calvin.
I love stories where the MMC is an alpha jerk, with a heart of gold. Calvin meets this criteria and then some. And Jaymes is so sassy! I adored the flirty banter throughout the entire book. I don't think I've ever read an author who has ever topped Jewel when it comes to writing banter. She just has a God-given talent for it.
Don't be fooled, though. This isn't a sugary, sweet love story. There is angst galore. The push and pull between Jamie and Fitz was palpable. And I was thrown for a loop at a certain plot twist I didn't see coming! Like my eyes bugged out of my head, and I texted my friend who also read it at 3am!
I am really excited about this book being released into the wild for everyone to read come November! And I have everything crossed that we get both Will's and Maren's stories, too!

Thank you to Jewel E Ann and Netgalley for generously providing this ARC.

Amazing! This book had me feeling all the feels, I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. Highly recommend

"Love is a jagged knife. If it's not lethal, it leaves, at the very least, a deep scar, an unshakable feeling, a recurring memory... a cheap tattoo."

Another emotional read brought to us by Jewel E. Ann. Jamie and Fitz have completely obliterated my heart and then put all of the pieces back together.

When Jamie moves across the country to start over after losing her mom, she rents a room with three roommates - Will, Maren, and Fitz. Will and Maren welcome her with open arms, while the brooding and grumpy Fitz is very standoffish.

🩶Roommates to lovers
🩶Forced proximity
🩶Angsty
🩶Broken MMC

Jamie makes it her mission to get Fitz to open up by the way of pranks. Which were hilarious and brought the banter between them up to top notch!

Watching these two fall in love felt so authentic and realistic. There's Jamie, who loves out loud and with her whole heart. Then there's Fitz who has vowed to never love again and be in a relationship again. His backstory is tragic and he puts his entire life into his job being a smokejumper firefighter.

"Is it okay if I need you. Or is it too late?"

Fate has brought these two together, and no matter what, their feelings and chemistry will always outweigh everything. This is a HARD fought happily ever after, but I was so happy at the end when we finally see them get what they both deserve with each other.

I absolutely love this author and everything she writes. This book....I devoured like all of her others. Thank you so much for the ARC!

4.5 Stars

Firstly, thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book early, with a release date of November 2024. You are going to want this book for your tbr. Jewel wrote an exceptional book; you will love all the characters and the uniqueness that it brings to this new world.

Jaymes loves the colour yellow, skateboards and loves to help people. Her empathetic nature is perfect in her field as a travel nurse. She was homeschooled so she's a world full of knowledge and loves baking. Fate brought her to meet Calvin, and she was immediately drawn to him. She just had to figure out how to navigate what it was that she was feeling.

Calvin was a beautiful man, a character that had lots of development as the book progressed. (He also gave me a teeny bit of Fisher Mann vibes) He too was homeschooled and had a loyal heart that placed him in the field of Firefighting. He was consistent with his life plans until Jaymes crashed into it. What he knew for certain was no longer what he desired. He was a character that came with lots of pain and suffering so watching him open up was beautiful.

This book brings a touch of forbidden, age gap, angst, pain, friendship and trust. It also brings the matter of fate, love and trying to figure out who you are. It has shared POV, was beautifully written and I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

In true JEA fashion, she had me glued to the pages from beginning to end. This beautiful romance story will make you laugh out loud at the couple's witty banter, and shed many tears over their anguishing journey to get to their HEA. I fell in love with this couple - they are grumpy/sunshine personified - and all of the side characters we met along the way. Fans of JEA's "One" will love this story!!! Just dive in blind and enjoy the bumpy ride!! BRAVO JEA once again!

I felt that the beginning, and ending were too predictable based on other books that I've already read. I don't like the idea that a woman would move to a totally new environment to live with men, and not do enough homework on where she is going even in fiction.

Pure magic! 5 Incredible Stars

Jewel you say, Netgalley you say, ARC out early you say,HELL YEAH!!!!!

I just gotta say by chapter 6 I'm smiling like a loon and getting Scarlett Stone fibes, with the banter. Loving this story with every chapter I read. I have a feeling this book is going to leave me with one hell of a hangover.

Aaahhhhh Calvin, I love him, Can I have him???? He is so funny, such a straight shooter, completely fell in love with his chapters.

Jaymes is a strong female lead I love that about her. She was funny, quick witted just a great character to read.

It always hits me when I'm reading Jewel, "Oh shit I should be looking for clues" "Paying closer attention" . But always hits me too late. I'm left with why didn't I see that how did that pass by me.
Then you reach that one chapter, where all hell breaks loose and I'm literally yelling at my book " Get out no way"!!!!!

Melissa, Will, Maren, Evette and God I love Gary amazing support characters for Jamie and Calvin.

The story is amazing, fresh, entertaining as hell, touching, again tears were shed. I highly recommend this book.

👠, #hesmine, #shesmine #daydrinking , #amazing #5stars and beyond ♥️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

From Air releases on November 26, and first of all, I just want to say that it's no surprise that Jewel brings the angst with her books, and this one is no exception.

*Jaymes Andrews is a traveling nurse after her mom passed away, and her first job is in Missoula, Montana. She finds a place to stay with three other roommates, one of them being grumpy Calvin Fitzgerald.

When I figured out the plot twist I'm pretty sure I sat up in bed like a corpse rising from the dead, eyes wide 🤣 I kept trying to figure it out! The flow of this book was so good. The chemistry and sexual tension, and stolen moments between Calvin and Jamie… LOVE 😍

I absolutely loved this book, so much that I want to read it again right now 😍 Make sure you add this one to your tbr so you don't miss out!

Wow! I love Fitz and Jaymes. These are two characters that seemed like they were made to find each other. I love how Jewel Anne just catches you and invests the reader in the story right from the beginning, and then you hang on tight until end! I would have used for a longer burn in the beginning, but being a die-hard Jewel Ann fan, it doesn’t really matter. Her books always give me all the feels.

I have read several books by Jewel E. Ann and every sing one has moved me. From Air brought me everything I expected from her books, including the day after book hangover where I'm just repeating it all in my mind. I loved watching Calvin and Jaymes' story develop, a push and pull of attraction and resistance that ends up in heartbreak where I least expected it from. No more details because part of the fun (and angst) is seeing it all unravel with no preconceived notions. Beautiful characters dealing with terrible circumstances that you will root for until the end.

This was a really different storyline but I loved it! Roommates that constantly pester the other one just for fun. There is one rule don’t sleep with one of your roommates, but who knew that would be the hardest thing not to do? The character are easy to love and you will soon discover there is a sad history that connects two people. Will something good come of them discovering who they are? I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

📕ARC Review(Copy gifted by @montlake via @netgalley)
🚨While reviewed copy is gifted, opinions are always my own.
Status: Available November 26th, will be KU

🥰Enjoyment: From a found family perspective I enjoyed this one immensely. From the plot perspective I also found it quite interesting (though if you work in the medical field, prepare to suspend disbelief), though the pacing to get there threw me. It was almost like two books that got edited down to one (since this author has written several duets, I honestly would not be shocked if you told me that’s exactly what happened). That said in the squishery, I feel like the actual “this is what our love is based on” aspects of the story were lost. I felt like the FMC saw this guy, heard he was grumpy and decided to annoy the shit out of him until they called it love. And then when we finally got him on board it made no sense that he skipped all the letters of the alphabet and went straight from A to Z.

Despite this more critical opinion, I also recognize that this is going to be some folks JAM. And that’s totally fine, I hope you love it, for me it just had a “that was fine” vibe by the time I ended it.

Are you looking for your next action packed romance read? If so, From Air sounds like the perfect book for you! This was a fun romance book!

“From Air” written by Jewel E.Ann follows Jamie Andrews who moves into a house with a bunch of firefighters out in the wilds of Montana, things get interesting right away. These guys live on the edge, always rushing into danger fuelled by duty and the thrill of it all. Jamie, being a psychiatric nurse, finds herself fascinated by their fearlessness, especially Calvin, a mysterious smoke jumper who's older than her. She enjoys teasing him, trying to figure him out. Surprisingly, Calvin doesn't back down from her playful challenges. As they grow closer, they have to keep their budding romance under wraps. Jamie gets more and more curious about Calvin's secretive side, which he stubbornly keeps to himself. Their journey together gets twisty, putting Jamie's determination to the test.

This book immediately pulled me in. The playful banter between Jamie and Fitz was a delight, keeping me entertained from start to finish. Fitz initially came off as abrasive, but as you uncover more about him, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading, you start to empathise with his character. Jamie, despite facing hardships, radiates kindness and positivity throughout the story. Their relationship develops naturally over the course of a year, avoiding the cliché of instant love and allowing for genuine character growth, complemented by unexpected plot twists that kept me engaged.

However, some discussions around mental health in this book felt a bit off, and there were sections where the story sort of lost momentum. The ending brought surprises that left me feeling a bit rushed and longing for more closure. While Fitz's behaviour could be frustrating at times, the authentic chemistry between him and Jamie managed to stay.

Overall, "From Air" is a touching read. The writing style captured my attention, and the supporting characters added richness to the narrative. Although I encountered a few issues, the emotional depth and character development managed to make it a solid read.

This was my first Jewel E Ann book and it took me on an emotional rollercoaster! From Air is the first standalone book in the Wildfire series and it is a beautiful story about finding your person.

It follows the story of Jamie, a travelling nurse whose new roommates are firefighters. She is instantly drawn to Calvin, a grumpy smoke jumper, who has sworn off marriage and children due to his mysterious past. I adored the banter between Jamie and Calvin, which was absolutely hilarious, but I also loved the real conversations and emotional revelations that had me sobbing.

This may have been my first book by Jewel E Ann but it certainly won't be my last!

A really good dual POV read. Some solid tropes:

- Age gap
- Grumpy x sunshine
- Fireman/hero
- Finding ‘the one’
- Found family

There is plenty to the plot to keep you hooked and the writing style is lovely. Definitely recommend

A special thanks to NetGalley and Jewel E. Ann for this ARC copy. My opinion is below.

Pub Date: Nov 26 2024

TLDR Thoughts:
-Hilarious banter
-✨Mrs.Wilke✨ was an unpaid actor
-Amazing supporting characters, I’d love to read their stories


Jewel just has a way with hilarious banter and unexpected but magnetic attraction between her characters. The banter between Fitz and Jaymes was so unhinged and I loved every single moment of it. ✨Mrs.Wilke✨ is an unpaid and underrated character in this story. 🤭🤣

I hope to read Will and Maren's stories, I grew to love them deeply throughout this book.

For those who work/have worked in healthcare: This book will make your HIPAA heart cry. ❤️‍🩹

Fitz's character was slightly frustrating. I wasn't expecting to like him but by the end of the book I did grow to love him with Jaymes.
