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!
It is:

Grumpy/Sunshine
Age Gap
Roommates
Forbidden

Thank you to Montlake, Valentine PR and the author for an advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is my second Jewel E. Ann book and again, it did not disappoint! I am rounding my stars up from a 4.5. The storyline was so thick and intertwining. It broke my heart at points, yet made me smile. I loved the bits of banter, the steamy scenes, and the overall development of the characters.

Jamie is a badass and she is definitely one of my favorite characters in this book. She moves in with a bunch of firefighters (you have to be tough as nails), she works as a psychiatric nurse, and she falls for the most difficult boy, Fitz. They both have their trauma and trauma bonded well. There was lots of tension and it was a rollercoaster journey, but that made the plot so much better!

I was here for the age gap, the firefighter grumpy MMC, forced proximity, found family, and more! Highly recommend this first book of a new series! 👏🏻

Jewel E. Ann has quickly become a “must read” author for me, and this book almost leaves me without words to say much I loved it. There is something about Fitz and Jaymes love story that made it nearly impossible to stop reading. Jaymes has her heart open to the world, and Fitz refuses to let anyone even know he has one still beating. This is spoiler free, so I will keep this brief for fear of spilling too much. There are twists and turns. There is a love that is undeniable. There is an age gap that honestly didn’t seem to exist on the pages, as they just made sense together. I was rooting so hard for Fitz and Jaymes to get a happy ever after or even just a good life together. I shouted, sighed, laughed. All I can say is if you love romance books, this is one you won’t want to skip.

I don’t know where to begin… Jewel E. Ann’s latest novel, From Air, is absolutely charming and completely engrossing from the first page to the last. The characters feel so real. The banter is fun. The storyline has plenty of twists and surprises.

I love the main characters, Jamie and Calvin (Fitz). They, along with Maren and Will, are roommates, and the main house rule is no fraternizing with roommates. Jamie is a travelling nurse, so her tenure in the house is limited. Calvin, Maren and Will are all firefighters who are stationed in Missoula, MT. The four roommates become fast friends, and Jamie and Calvin fight their obvious attraction to one another (house rules remember). Their banter is fun and a bit flirty. I really enjoyed the slow-burn of their relationship. I loved the roommate humor and roommate banter as well.

Along their journey, both Jamie and Calvin encounter some big surprises and twists that test their friendship and attraction. In her characteristic way, author Jewel E. Ann eviscerates her readers’ (and characters’) hearts before piecing them back together with the skill of a cardiac surgeon. Jamie and Calvin’s emotional vulnerability is heart wrenching and completely sucked me into their vortex.

Don’t be mistaken that From Air is just a fun, flirty firefighter romance. Baked into Jamie and Fitz’ story are fine layers of messages about life after loss, forgiveness, and family. Fun, flirty, hot, sexy and meaningful...I can't think of anything more I need from a book.

I can't wait to jump into the next book in the series!

Oh my heart. I’m so emotional. Need a minute to collect my thoughts.

I’m truly not sure what to say, I’m trying to stay away from giving any spoilers. My best advice, go in blind like I did.

Jamie & Calvin (Fitz) gutted me, and then put me back together again.
It’s a slow burn. Both have suffered tragic losses and been shaped by experiences in their youth. Their characters are slowly revealed to us, while they are getting to know each other on the page. They have so much love to give and obstacles to overcome. The question throughout is, can they do that and come out whole on the other side? It’s a great story with plenty of steamy moments.

I recommend checking the author’s notes and trigger warnings.
I’m giving this 4.5 stars only because there were still some lingering questions I would have liked to get answered.

eARC review of From Air by @authorjeweleann

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was my first read by Jewel. E. Ann and I was blown away. I was INVESTED from the beginning and didn't want to put the book down.

The banter between Jaymes and Fitz was top-tier and had me laughing the whole way through. The way these two bounce off each other is entertaining and comical. I I was as quick with my comebacks as Jaymes is! I was up until who knows what time finishing this as I just could not put it down. My 'just one more chapter' turned into finishing the book and then lying there not sure what to do with myself (because of course I couldn't sleep after that!).

I laughed, I cried, I swooned, and I fell in love with their story, and the obstacles they faced before they could finally be together.

I will definitely be reading more by Jewel. E. Ann. After this masterpiece, I want more emotional trauma, nose blocked from crying and being unable to breathe!!

Thank you so much to @authorjeweleann and @valentine_pr_ for a copy of this arc in exchange for an honest review!

✨️✨️✨️✨️

Jaymes Andrews is the best mistake I’ve ever made. And if I had it to do over, I wouldn’t change a thing.

✨️✨️✨️✨️

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

Every book by Jewel just gets better. This book broke me in the best way. The relationship between Jaymes and Fitz was so fresh. The belief in fate having us be at the right place at the right time to find our person is beautiful. We have two broken people who are destined to find each other in this life to help each other heal.

Jamie was everything in a female lead. She is strong and soft, vulnerable, and persistent. She takes the traveling nurse job to find herself, and she finds family in her roommates.

Fitz is broken by a life of grief, and the last person he expects to break through to him is Jamie. They fight, and they make up in the most raw way. It was an absolutely heartbreaking romance that was worth the tears.

i went into this blind thinking it was just a firefighter romance forbidden because they were roommates.
And it was so much more.

Jaymes and Calvin's story started off your typical romance but then everyone's issues kicked in and i was sucked in deep.

It was forbidden but according to a big plot twist, more forbidden than we know .
And i really can't even discuss more about the plot without giving it all away.

Let's just say that the heart wrenching twists and turns in the book were just torture! Every time i thought there would be a breakthrough...BAM. nope.

But it was a good read. I appreciate the growth of both characters, but more so Jaymes.

I gave this 4 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for the arc All opinions are my own.

“From Air” is the first book in the “Wildfire” series and also my first Jewel E. Ann book. It will definitely not be the last because I loved it!

Main tropes are:
- forbidden romance
- age gap (10 years)
- grumpy/sunshine
- found family
- opposites attract
- close proximity
- roommates to lovers
- tragic past

Jamie is a traveling nurse that moves in a house full of firefighters. Calvin, one of her roommates, is a grumpy and enigmatic smoke jumper.

From the beginning they flirt and bater a lot. This is a forbidden romance but they do not manage to stay away from each other.

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

“You’re generous. Distractingly mesmerizing. Quirky in a brilliant way. And ineffably beautiful.”

The writing is very beautiful and the characters are complex and loveble. It was great to watch them interact and especially with Calvin to see him open up to Jamie and let her in his heart.
Their story is funny, emotional and tragic.

The book is so good that I finished it in one day.

Now I am (im)patiently waiting for “From Nowhere”.

Thank you Valentine PR and Netgalley for the ARC and ALC. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

3.5-4 stars. Jamie Andrews is spreading her wings as a traveling nurse by leaving Florida and taking a job in small town Montana. Her 3 roommates are all older with daredevil type of professions, including smokejumper Calvin. The number one rule is to not sleep with a roommate, as it is grounds for immediate eviction. Calvin has a remote personality where he doesn't do well with people and only wants a job to focus on. He keeps things orderly in his world and people simply add complications, especially relationships. He refuses to invest in others, yet Jamie can't help but be curious, to where it's like constantly poking a bear, and Calvin is the bear.

The first half took me a while to get through as it was not selling the Calvin and Jamie ship for me very easily. I don't know if it was because Jamie simply assigned Calvin as her person and was fulfilling the prophecy without giving him a choice. Calvin, to his credit, is attracted to Jamie but was fine to leave well enough alone if she didn't start showing up everywhere, including his work. I do think this reflects a bit of Jamie's age and immaturity despite being wise beyond her years in other ways. However, Calvin was not far behind in his lack of maturity either.

Getting to the bottom of why Calvin was so against relationships became a focal point for Jamie, which lead to a lot of flirtations, proximity and time spent together alone. Even though Jamie's assignment is temporary and seems to be the impetus for Calvin to ignore any potential feelings between them, the white elephant in the room remains. I became more interested in their character development once it becomes clear why Calvin is so opposed to letting people into his life. Watching Calvin reach his own epiphany to realize life doesn't have to be so empty and that loving someone is always a risk, but those risks also come with great rewards is a testament to how well Jewel E Ann can turn a story around. Although this isn't a favorite of mine, it is a good start to a series and I'm looking forward to reading about Maren next.

I cried like a baby and Jewel E Ann is an author of beautiful words💕

After my first book by Jewel, I automatically sign up to read any new releases by her so fast. Her writing and storytelling is like nothing I’ve experienced. She was an instant favorite for me and this one just proves that to the tenth degree!

This book talks the angst to a whole new level I didn’t know possible. The banter, the teasing it was so entertaining. AND the plot twist absolutely shook me. Jewel can throw a curve ball that you never see coming! Mind blown!!

Traveling nurse meets firefighters and boy was it’s hot! Calvin and his closed off persona due to past family trauma pushing everyone away and then Jamie coming in and chipping away at his tough exterior was perfection.

My favorite found family trope to date! Looking for a read over thanksgiving then here you go…you are so welcome!

I just finished this book last night and I already need a re-read. This book had it all. This is an angsty, swoony romance between Calvin (aka Fitz), a smoke jumper and Jaymes (Jamie), a psychiatric nurse who has lived in one place her whole life and now takes traveling jobs so she can travel and see new parts of the country. Jamie's first stop...Montana, and when she gets to her residence, she realizes instead of one roommate, she actually has three. While she gets along wonderfully with Will and Maren, it is the closed-off, grumpy Fitzy that Jamie is drawn to, despite his surliness and desire to not share any part of himself. They form a friendship of sorts after Jamie's persistence at getting to know him. They are so different from each other on the outside but share a lot of commonalities. I adored their relationship and could not help but root for them despite the obstacles in their way.

I love, love, loved everything about this book and did not want to put it down. First, I loved that the author gave these main characters occupations that are not found in a lot of books. I loved that despite their desire to be together, both Jamie and Fitz encouraged the other to follow their passion, even though it meant that they would be apart. And I loved how close they became despite that distance and how connected they were even across the miles, and that they continued to nurture their friendship/relationship while apart.

This story had a bit of mystery to it and was definitely not lacking drama, but it also had humor, friendship and love, and Jamie and Fitz had so much chemistry. From Air is probably my favorite book of this authors and I have read quite a few of her books. This book is going to stay with me for a while.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

My first ever read From Air by Jewel E.Ann and by it was amazing . I loved the banter between Jamie and fitz .Their chemistry was on point . This book did not disappoint at all . Can’t wait to see what’s to come in this series .

🔥Firefighter/Travel Nurse
🔥Age Gap
🔥Grumpy/Sunshine
🔥Roommates to lovers
🔥Found Family
🔥 Trauma/Healing
🔥Amazing Banter
🔥Forbidden Romance

After her mother’s death, Jaymes(Jamie), a travel nurse takes her first assignment in Missoula for six months. She moves into a house with three roommates, one being Calvin(Fitz). Fitz is a grumpy smoke jumper. Because of past trauma, he has made his job his entire life and is emotionally unavailable.
Jamie comes in all sunshine and roses and does everything possible to chip away at Fritz’s hard edges.

The banter is top tier. The chemistry is undeniable. The spice is HOT!

This love story is a great example of actions speak louder than words. No over the top grand gestures, but small things that mean everything!!

Jewel E Ann did an amazing job at making me feel everything the characters were going through. The giddiness, the longing, the excitement, and the pain. Oh how my heart aches for them.

This story is beautifully written. You will laugh, you will cry, and there will be moments that shock you completely.

Jewel E Ann just has a way with words. It’s no wonder she is one of my all time favorite authors! Loved every minute of this book.
