5/5 ⭐
From Nowhere is the second novel in Jewel E. Ann’s Wildfire series, full of humor and heartfelt moments! The story made me laugh, but it also tugged at my heartstrings, especially when it came to Lola, the daughter of the main character, Ozzy. This girl is adorable, and her relationship with her father is something special. I felt sorry for Ozzy; he had a difficult life until he met Maren.
"I love you, even if it scares me to death. The only thing that scares me more is trying not to love you."❤️‍🩹
I was thrilled to see familiar characters from the previous book, and of course, I'm looking forward to Will's story! Hope he'll end up with the doctor eventually🤞

Thank you to Jewel E. Ann and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Great, great, great book! I absolutely loved the banter between Ozzy and Maren and how Maren treated Lola. This is classic Jewel E Ann and just another reminder why she’s an auto-click author!

This story was so moving and emotional—it touched my heart!! ❤️ I absolutely loved Ozzy and Maren together!! And don’t forget Lola—she stole the show! I really loved reading this beautiful love story (Ozzy is the perfect book boyfriend!), but it wasn’t just another love story—it was about overcoming grief and sorrow in the face of unimaginable trauma and rising above it all. 🥲

I enjoyed this so much more than the first part of the series. We meet the previous novels character again, with a new couple in focus. The story is solid and well written, with some swoon worthy moments.
A quick and emotional read which I enjoyed very much.

Jewel E. Ann NEVER disappoints. She writes with such a depth of understanding of the quirkiness of people and the intracacies of life and love. She does so with grace and an incredible wit. No one does a meet cute like she does. Her FMC are always so spunky and sassy. Her MC are incredibly swoonworthy. The banter between the two is off the charts. With this one, you add in little Lola, who is definitely 10 going on 20, and you have pure gold.

Ozzy and Maren Omg These 2 adults sneaking around like kids ..So freaking cute and Damn Ozzy got game. I really did not like The MIL sorry how long should he wait till its ok and his guilt was enough.

I did think when Lola told Maren about the accident I was thinking she was responsible but I was wrong lol

How they met was hysterical and after Ozzy with the flowers and notes SWOON. They both fell hard and fast and trying to take it slow for Lola

I Love Love this book! It’s like a warm hug on a cold day.
I love that Ozzy is slightly awkward but not awkward enough that he doesn’t save Maren with her bathroom emergency. He gave up his dream of flying to focus on his his daughter Lola after her mom dies in a tragic accident.
Ozzy will do anything to help his daughter cope with the trauma that she experienced being in the car accident that killed her mom. Lola will not get in a car and won’t allow Ozzy to get in one either. He’s patient and meeting Maren
Opens his heart in ways he doesn’t see coming. I gotta say
His proposal is epic😊❤️

Such an amazing, beautiful, heart wrenching love story.

I have totally fallen in love with Lola!!!! Oh yeah Ozzy too. I already loved Maren from book one.

This is a love story of patience, acceptance, a love story of parenting and friendship. Tia killed me and then made me cry. Thd characters, the story lines Jewel gives us are seriously always incredible.

I found this one, to be a more calmer read for Jewels book, which I greatly appreciated 😀

Ozzy and Marens love story is unexpected at a time when both characters needed something more. Thier banter was great, Lola's one liners and unexpected input was perfect. I find Jewel writes the best children in her stories. Lola's journey was heart breaking and joyous.

As I finished this one I was thinking Jewel always puts us back together, as I was crying 😆.

I want to say so much but it will spoil and Jewels books are best to go into blind. If you loved From Air, you will love From Nowhere.

#netgalley thanks!!!

3.25 stars

If you like single dad/widower romance with a heroine who rocks his world, From Nowhere just might be for you.

Let’s start with the things that this book does well. The world building is strong, the tension in the relationships feels authentic, and the bond between Ozzy and Lola is beautiful. Maren is strong in her convictions and doesn’t change who she is to fit into Ozzy and Lola’s lives, and yet both Ozzy and Maren manage to meet each other in the middle.

I enjoyed the secondary characters in the book as well, and would be interested in reading more from this world.

There were a couple of elements that didn’t work for me personally, but that are typically parts of the widower trope (see also: former in-laws who shame the MMC for wanting to move on). There was also another moment tied up in the climax of the story that didn’t quite work for me, but that’s just because it wasn’t my personal preference.

Overall, this was a story I knocked out in one sitting that made me feel lots of feelings.

Marren and Ozzy are attracted to each other and it couldn’t be less complicated. Ozzy is a widower, living with his in-laws, and helping his traumatized daughter by agreeing to never ride in a car. Marren fights fires as an air tanker pilot, a job that is not risk free and she would like to be in a relationship with someone who is ready and able to be a partner. It is terrible timing and everything is stacked against them but instead of backing away they keep finding themselves drawn further in.
This was an emotional read. Ozzy is a loving parent to an adorable daughter who is still reeling after the death of her mother. He is an all around good guy, doing the best he can which isn’t always good enough. Marren is successful at a tough job, has good friends, and a stable life yet continuously refers to herself as a hot mess for egregious errors like spilling coffee on herself. I liked them together and loved Ozzy’s daughter. There were a few things I found jarring like the oftentimes juvenile humor and the way Ozzy not driving was treated as this huge issue. Granted, I currently live in a city but I’ve spent most of life without a car and just couldn’t relate to the constant use of not driving being such a detriment. Neither of those things prevented my teary eyes and need to seek out the first book in the series.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I adored this book and loved how the author touched on real life issues that can sometimes be difficult to speak about. Single dad trope is always one of my favourites too!

Single dad meets fierce independent woman! Ozzy loves his daughter fiercely when his instant attraction to Maren happens will he be able to navigate live after loss?

This story certainly pulls at the heart strings and is so well written you feel all the feels.

I would like to see Will’s story!

From Nowhere is the second book in the Wildlife series which already has my heart in a tight grip and it’s not even over yet.

We meet Maren in From Air as one of the roommates. She’s a tanker pilot, badass and funny and so loving. Ozzy works in the same company as a mechanic and let’s just say they had a very unique meet cute. The attraction is mutual but it always comes with some hurdles. Such as that Ozzy is a single dad/widower who lives with his in-laws that are pretty judgmental. His daughter Lola has had a very traumatic experience when her mother died so it limits their life to a certain extent.

I just adore how this whole story was portrayed so realistically and it’s everything I want to romance novel make me feel. There are struggles, trauma and fear of change of one fantastic Dad/person that are totally reasonable. The sensibility of one amazing woman who had the patience and all the love to give to her new people because Ozzy & Lola are a package deal.

The chemistry was so good! The anticipation, the build up had me on my toes. And it delivered in every single aspect. This is what I want when I read a single parent trope, to kid to be involved in the story and enrich it not just as an afterthought. And Jewel succeeded at it amazingly!

Heartwarming & emotional story of unexpected love and second chances at life.

I can’t recommend enough this book/series and also can’t wait for 3rd Will’s book to come out!

From Nowhere* by Jewel E. Anne is a delightful exception to my usual indifference toward single dad romances. Once AGAIN, JEA delivers a captivating story that draws readers in from the very beginning. What sets this romance apart is how the relationship between Maren and Ozzy begins: Maren takes the initiative and asks him out, which is a refreshing twist you don’t often see in romance novels. From their first meeting, their connection feels effortless and genuine.

What I loved: The relationship I enjoyed most, however, was between Ozzy and his daughter, Lola. There's something incredibly heartwarming about a single dad who prioritizes his family above all else, and this dynamic added so much depth to the story.

What I disliked: my least favorite part of the novel was Tia’s character. Her anger toward Ozzy after the accident felt excessive and was genuinely irritating. It detracted from my overall enjoyment of the story, but thankfully, the strength of the other relationships made up for it.

From Nowhere is the second of a 3- part book series I think I liked this one more than the first. Jewel always writes strong female leads and Maren was no different. Ozzy reminded me of Emmett from for Lucy- my favorite of all the Jewel E Ann books. He was funny, compassionate, cautious, loving, and fallible. I love Jewel E Ann’s attention to such meaningful details that tell you so much about about the character. For Ozzy it was the flowers and the notecards just like for Cage in the One it was the Chapter notecards. I don’t know how she thinks of all of these details! 5 stars!

I absolutely loved this story. It was heartwarming, sweet, and endearing. Maren and Ozzy's "meet cute" had me laughing so hard. I felt sorry for Ozzy at first because he was awkward and had this sorta dry sense of humor. But Maren just loved that about him, was patient with him through it all, they were perfect for each other. Then there is Lola! This girl stole my heart along with Maren's and she had me wrapped around her finger. She truly stole the show. This book brings all the feels. It was heartbreaking at times and to see Lola overcome her fears will have you tearing up! There were plenty of times that I got frustrated with Ozzy by letting his in-laws dictate his life. But obviously Lola and his love for Maren outweighed the fallout between the in-laws. This was an incredible story that will take you on an emotional journey. I'm looking forward to Will's story next, and then I'm truly going to hate to see this series end!!


**Special thanks to Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

This is what a book should be. Dont get me wrong, I love a good fluffy romance as much as the next person. This book took on real-life hard subjects that are sometimes hard to speak about and paired it with growth, love, and humor. Life isn't always rainbows and happy times, and Jewel E Ann writes that perfectly. 

I picked up this book at 10 pm on Friday night, and let's just say I stayed up way past my bedtime. It's one you can't put down. A rollercoaster of highs and lows, and you feel every. single. one. with these characters. The love story is a beautiful one of compassion, growth, patience, and understanding. 

I hope you love them! Ozzy x

I loved this book so much!!!! I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one day. Maren and Ozzy were perfection. I couldn’t get enough of them. Their banter was perfection. It was such a beautiful, heartfelt story. This book will definitely be on my “favorite books that I love to reread” rotation!!! Also, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..Jewel E. Ann writes the most amazing “meet cutes”! They are always so funny and so perfect. Always!!!!

I adored From Air and when I saw From Nowhere was available, I had to grab it immediately. Just like all other Jewel E. Ann books, I had to stop everything and read it immediately. I'm a sucker for a single dad romance and Ozzy was this trope personified. Maren was a heroine I immediately loved and they were truly a couple you wanted good things for - not to mention Lola, Ozzy's amazing daughter.

This series is amazing and I can't wait for book 3!

I devoured this book.
It's so perfect. Single dad, cute kid, healing from grief and trauma, badass FMC, funny, sweet and spicy.
It's such an emotional book, so well paced and fluid.
I was laughing and crying and feeling so much. It's the kind of book that you just want to jump into there and hug everyone.
