This was my first book by @authorjeweleann and I can certainly say it will not be my last.

I was so enthralled with this book. Jaymes Andrews and Calvin Fitzgerald have my entire heart.

If you’re looking for a book with superior banter, angst, a little heartache, a huge twist, all while being a romance - this. Is. It.

This was an easy 5 stars. I could read it all over again. I don’t want to give away too much because all of you should check this one out!!

The perfection that is this book!
We are brought a new series Wildfire by author Jewel E Anne and what a way to hit us. This hidden romance, age gap, roommate, grumpy/Sunshine was amazing. Once I got on a roll in this book I was unable to out it down. The roll of each characters, the plot twist and the emotions....I can't get over it. As always trust the process that this author takes, she might break your heart and turn you into a blubbering mess, but as always in the end it was well worth it

Once more Jewel E Ann has written the perfect story.

This is not just a romance story but an emotional rollercoaster. When the tears come, and trust me they will, don’t say you weren’t warned, you will need tissues.

From Air is a journey full of love, angst, heartbreak, hope and the road to being healed again.

I went in blind to this book and I’m so glad I did, I think spoilers would have been too much.

This story is a tragic yet beautiful reminder of what it means to love, lose, heal and love again.

Buckle up for this very emotional rollercoaster, you won’t regret it. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.

I listened and read this book…
Lines like this got me everytime…

She’s the girl who has taught me how to dream.

Calvin and James are amazing.. I could not get enough of their story… beautiful… incredible banter and chemistry and two broken people who are each other person… filled with twists and turns..

A top 2025 read! Thank you Jewel E Anne!

This book is outstanding! From Air is my first book by Jewel E. Ann, and it won't be my last. I am ALL IN. Jamie and Calvin's story took me on an emotional journey, and I loved every moment.

Jamie "Jaymes" Andrews, a traveling psych nurse, heads to Montana for her next assignment and ends up living with a group of firefighters, including Calvin "Fitz" Fitzgerald—a 35-year-old, broody, workaholic smoke jumper. There are strict house rules, but that doesn’t stop sparks from flying. What starts as teasing and playful banter quickly turns into something deeper. Fitz is married to his job and is not looking for love, but Jamie can't help but be drawn to him. They have amazing chemistry, and Jamie is determined to peel back Fitz's many layers. As they grow closer, past trauma and secrets revealed threaten to ruin it all.

I was completely invested in Jamie and Fitz's journey. The plot is perfect, and the twists and turns literally left me speechless. This story made me feel every emotion. I yelled, was shocked, cried, and swooned over the grumpy and broken Fitz. This book broke my heart, then put it back together. From Air is a forbidden slow-burn angsty romance with delicious steam, fun side characters, amazing characters with depth, and top-tier found family vibes. This book DELIVERED and checks all the boxes. From Air is beautifully written, and the story wraps up with a perfectly satisfying ending. This is a must-read/listen, and I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Narration:
Ada Sinclair and Nelson Hobbs perform this audiobook in dual-style narration. I am highly impressed with their captivating performances. They both put so much emotion into their portrayals of the characters and really brought them to life. This audiobook elevated my experience with the story.

Such a touching, emotional, and heartfelt story. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less from Jewel E. Ann. She definitely knows how to tug at your heartstrings. I loved Jamie and Calvin (Fitz). My heart broke for both of them for different reasons. No one should have to go through the pain that they went through. Fate brought them into each other's lives for a reason. Would they be strong enough to accept that fate, or will they be left with the ashes of what could have been? I can't wait to read more from this series!

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."

- 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

• 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!
