Review: I don't even know where to begin. Jewel once again continues to cemement herself as one of my top favorite authors who will always be a one-click author. She has such unique gift that you just can't put her books down! This one was no different!

Jaymes Andrews aka Jamie is a traveling nurse who just moved to Missoula, Montana. Calvin Fitzgerald aka Fitz is a Smoke Jumper. The two become roomates and let the fun begin! I loved the banter between these two soo much. I felt such a connection to Jamie! I would be just like her sitting there poking the bear.🤣 I loved it! But I also loved the deep connection these two had and how they could help one another to heal and grow.

“Jaymes, if I were normal, I’d love you enough. The problem is, I’m not normal, so I’d love you too much.”

I mean, come on!🥹 It's so hard to put into words how much you love a book in fear you just won't do it justice. Regardless, READ IT! I promise! Jewel's books are true magic! She will always take you on an incredible journey! She has the best twists you didn't see coming. If you are looking for a book that will make you laugh, cry and swoon all at once, From Air is the one. Jewel has once again proven why she's a master of contemporary romance. Highly recommend to anyone who loves an unforgettable love story!

My tear ducts are empty. I can't begin to say how many times I had to put my Kindle down to wipe the tears from my eyes. Jewel E. Ann has a way with words and an eloquence that sucks me into the story from the very first page. This story follows Jaymes "Jamie" Andrews, a traveling psych nurse and Calvin "Fitz" Fitzgerald, a smoke jumper. Jamie's and Fitz's story touched my heart in so many ways. It broke me and put me back together.

Jamie and Fitz have in common tragic pasts that affected them in different ways. Jamie was sunshine personified, bringing light to grumpy Fitz, and he didn't stand a chance. The banter with these two was EVERYTHING! They either had me laughing out loud or tearing the F up.

I loved it when Jamie and Fitz fell into lust with each other. The spice was chef's kiss, and their chemistry was explosive. While keeping it casual was the plan, their kindred spirits begged for more. There were so many layers to peel from both of them, and my emotions were in overload.

I loved the found family dynamic. Both Jamie and Fitz had great friends who had their back.

From Air had the perfect blend of humor, found family and grief with healing. It was such a satisfying story that I definitely recommend.

Jewel E. Ann's ability to weave complex stories that break us and eventually rehabilitate us is just MIND-BLOWING...and then comes the book hangover (insert cry face). I cannot tell you how many book hangovers I've had from JEA books, but I keep on going back and I want every newsletter, every ARC, every contest, you name it!
From Air is the mix of grumpy, aloof, and secretive firefighter MMC with a sunshine, inquisitive, and younger psychiatric travel nurse FMC. From banter and the build up to Calvin and Jamie's hook up...to the bombshell dropping and flipping crazy angst, I was nose deep into the book and not letting go until I got down to the bottom of it! I am consistently flummoxed by how JEA is able to write able characters who somehow have interesting intersecting pasts that collide and threaten to smother a relationship.
I find that one big theme in her writing is forgiveness...it is integral in being able to move on and reach her couple's HEA...integral in being able to advance PERIOD!

Oh goodness, I loved From Air. Jamie and Fitz were everything. The side characters are amazing. The twists of fate were a bit unbelievable, but I didn’t mind. I laughed with this book as much as I cried. The story flowed easily and the plot moved organically. It was simply so good.

I received a copy of From Air from NetGalley. I am leaving my review voluntarily.

Heartfelt romance, witty banter, and excellent storytelling. Calvin and Jaymes have such a great on-page chemistry! It was sexy and swoonworthy at the same time! This story balances heavier themes of grief and loss, with humor , wit and plot twists, and I think it was just a really beautiful love story. I cannot wait for Maren's story!

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒆, 𝑭𝒊𝒕𝒛. 𝑻𝒘𝒊𝒄𝒆. 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔 𝒎𝒆?”

“𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒆𝒙𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈.”

HAPPY PUB DAY TO JAMIE AND CALVIN!!

I read this ARC on the plane and I was grinning ( and gasping) so much the two women on either side of me kept sneaking peeks at what I was reading 😆

Jewel never disappoints in creating the most delicious tension and banter.

Not to mention the plot twists I did not see coming.

I’ve never read a book with a smoke jumper in it, so I was highly curious about the aspects of Calvin’s job. I loved him and Jaymes together and the tattoo’s 🫠🥹

I also loved how grumpy Calvin was but calls Jaymes his person 😭

So so good.

“As long as she’s on this earth, the distance between us will never be enough for me not to feel her, not to want her.”

My FUCKING heart!!! This book wrecked me in the best way possible and I already want to re-read it. The hardest thing about writing a review for a book you love is capturing all your feelings in a way that would convince other readers to pick up the book. And all I’ve got to say is JUST DO IT!! You won’t regret this story and all the ways it will make you fall in love.

“A woman’s heart is woven from equal parts strength and vulnerability. Its love knows no boundaries. But it demands accountability. I’ll never ask Fitz why he broke my heart. I’ll simply insist upon him acknowledging that he did it.”

Jaymes and Fitz’s romance is full of hilarious banter and so many moments of secondhand embarrassment, but it is also full of so many emotions that my heart didn’t know if it would survive. You just can’t help but become invested in the road to get to their happily ever after, it’s hard fought and full of moments of absolute heartbreak but it is so worth it to see it all unfold. Fitz had guarded his heart after suffering an unthinkable loss yet Jaymes got under his skin and showed him there was more than one road to live his life. I loved watching them realize it was more than infatuation with each other and that they had both found their person. It was fate that brought them together but it was hard fought truths, mixed with tears and love that gave them something to fight for. The way Jewel is able to convey an absolutely profound love story with her words, there is truly nothing like experiencing a story from her!

“Jaymes isn’t the girl of my dreams. I never allowed myself that luxury. She’s the girl who has taught me how to dream.”

This book was just amazing. It had my attention from the first few pages till the end. It was easy flowing and captivating. I fell in love with the characters and was fully invested in their story. I liked that the author gave enough details about the side characters to bring them alive instead of them being briefly mentioned. The book was a great mix of romance and unexpected mystery. Another great book by Jewel E Ann. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

I am OBSESSED. From Air by Jewel has found it’s place on my “life changing reads” shelf. The story was so emotional, so captivating, and so heartbreakingly beautiful with a HEA that is SO satisfying.

Jewel E Ann has quickly become a favorite author of mine. The way she writes draws you in right from chapter one, and keeps you wanting more. I couldn’t put this book down. Jewel’s writing is unreal! Think Nicholas Sparks, with a dash of tasteful spice thrown in the mix. Her stories are emotional with happily ever afters that take you on the biggest emotional rollercoaster while reading. Jewel makes sure you FEEL all the FEELS.

”𝙈𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣.”

Jaymes a Florida native wanting to spread her wings, takes a (temp) mental health nursing position all the way in Montana. She moves in with 3 roommates who happen to all work in the “saving lives” industry. Will, and engine chief for the local fire department, Maren an air tanker pilot and Calvin Fitzgerald, the grumpy, committed to being single his entire life, smoke jumper. Jaimie quickly makes herself part of the crew and her wit and confidence is out of this world! (I wanna be her one day.🥹) I absolutely LOVED the banter between Fitz and Jaymes…Honestly some of the best banter I’ve ever read!‼️ The banter turns sexy, and the ANGST?! Ohmygawd…😮‍💨🫠 The will they, or won’t they tension is CODE RED but with a house rule of no sleeping with the other roommates, Jaymes and Fitz need to navigate whatever is between them very carefully.

“𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧’𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙪𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚.”

I won’t say too much more, because the twists and turns this story takes are jaw dropping! SO much happens and I literally messaged Jewel at the dreaded “80% -third act-problem part” and pleaded with her to confirm that the book did in fact end with a HEA… (it does by the way🥲)

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

Thank you so much to Jewel and Valentine PR for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Infinity stars!!
♾️⭐️2.5🌶️

I'd heard nothing but wonderful things about this author's writing, so you can imagine how thrilled I was when I discovered I'd been gifted an ARC of From Air. By Jewel E. Ann, courtesy of VPR Valentine. This was my first Jewel E. Ann book, and it did not disappoint; it had all of the romance and drama I was hoping for. I've even put together a list of my personal favorite traits and tropes.

👨🏽‍🚒🚒 Right off the bat, a top-tier, blue-collar firefighter/Smoke Jumper (IYKYK,my ideal dream man is a firefighter) 🔥🥵🧯. Just do not tell my husband. 🤫
 
Another strong 💪🏼🙋🏻‍♀️ female lead (I had just read about one a couple books back) finally, because some of these main females are falling too hard too fast for these mediocre men, and she happens to be a nurse.👩🏻‍⚕️ (It made me think of Landon and Ally from The Notebook.) 😝Rest assured that I'll always be team Noah. 🥰

My favourite cliché is grumpy/sunshine foes become lovers; the meaner and grittier the better, and these two understood how to banter. I am aware that I have issues! We also can't overlook that great age gap 👱🏼‍♀️🧔🏽‍♂️ no college frat dudes insight, woot woot!

I know I mentioned some beautiful things about this book, but there were also some awful heartbreaks in their tales, some of which I personally resonated with, and watching it all develop and seeing these two basically try to heal themselves and fix each other was all the feelings. Overall, From Air is a book that will keep you captivated from page to page.

⚠️I was gifted an ARC of From Air courtesy of Valentine PR and Netgalley, and this is my honest review.

I loved this book. The romance, spice, banter, it was all so good. Then the twist at the end that connects everything together, heart wrenching. I 100% recommend this to anyone who wants romance, with spice, with banter battles, found family, and overcoming your past traumas. I devoured this in a day, and stayed up into the night to finish it.

5 “Everything” stars!

This book is phenomenal and a new top fave!! From unforgettable characters to a captivating storyline with surprising twists, From Air is an unputdownable love story that still consumes me days after turning the last page.

Jaymes and Fitz…these two…I love them. Jaymes is so witty and I enjoyed her comments to Fitz. And Fitz is broody and grumpy but for some reason he’s different with Jaymes even if he doesn’t want to be. Their banter is gold and the game they play is hilarious. The sexual tension grows until you know it’s going to combust and you can’t wait to be there for it.

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

Fitz can’t be what Jaymes wants. He can’t offer love or a life with anyone but with her, things are different. He thinks about her. He misses her. She’s under his skin and he doesn’t know how it happened. When they are together they can’t stop the pull they have on each other and they can’t stop the inevitable. The development of how they become each other’s person is beautiful and I believed all their feelings as they evolved.

“I made you my person, and you don’t fit in my life, but my life no longer fits me without you.”

Jaymes and Fitz knew going into it nothing long term could come of it but still they fell. They fell a little harder with every moment they spent together. There’s no denying they belong together yet it doesn’t change a thing and their lives continue even if they aren’t able to be together. And I felt the torture of not being together.

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

Then, there are the twists. The gut wrenching life altering twists you never see coming. This author knows how to flip your world upside down and it’s exactly what she does to them. It’s heartbreaking and it takes time for both of them to heal, and when they do it is perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing.

There are books that you love and then there are books that you’re obsessed with. From Air is one of those books. I found myself reading well into the early hours of the morning because I couldn’t stop myself. It is just that good. Jaymes and Fitz are two of my new favorite characters and I can’t wait for more from this series because I desperately want to see them again.

I went into this book completely blind, and let me tell you, I was not prepared for what it did to my heart. Wow, what a way to kick off a series! I loved how unique the characters’ jobs were – they weren’t the usual ones you see in a lot of books, so it was a refreshing change and added a lot of depth to the story. Learning about these different careers was honestly one of my favorite parts.

Calvin and Jaymes' story had everything I didn’t know I needed: age gap, grumpy to sunshine, enemies to lovers, and the cherry on top – found family. The emotions were so real, I was laughing one moment, crying the next, and of course, swooning throughout.

Overall, this book was just fantastic – well-written, emotionally charged, and full of heart. Can’t wait to see what comes next in the series!

An intense romance that will leave you breathless, this book will take you on a thrilling journey filled with danger, passion, and the complexities of love. From Air takes place in the rugged snowy wilderness of Montana, Jamie, a traveling psychiatric nurse, finds herself living in a house full of wild and fearless smoke jumping firefighters. Will, Maren and Fitz soon make Jamie feel like she is a part of the family they have built. Fitz on the other hand is broody and quiet but Jamie's constant teasing and challenges lead to playful banter that leaves you laughing and rooting for them to take it futher. But Fitz is hiding something from his past that Jamie just can't seem to uncover but as Jamie starts uncovering secrets from her own past she finds that she has a connection with one of her roommates that may just tear thier new little family apart. I love Jewel E. Ann's writing, she is definitly onw of the best writers of our times. Her ability to delve deep into the hearts and minds of her characters, exploring their fears and desires makes her characters unforgettable and her books must reads. From Air is a rollercoaster of a ride from swoony romance to suspense, it doesn't end on a cliffhanger but there is a book 2 in the series and I can't wait.

This was a steamy read! I loved the dynamics between characters. This was outside of my usual realm of topics to read for romances, but I was here for it. Will definitely be looking for more works from this author in the future.

From Air blew me away! I was hooked from the very first page and completely immersed in Jamie and Calvin’s (aka Fitz’s) journey. Their banter and chemistry were next-level perfection—every interaction sizzled with tension and heart. Watching them navigate the challenges of building a relationship kept me glued to the story.

J.E.A.’s writing is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, balancing angst, surprises, and those moments that make you feel everything. I loved the depth and complexity she brought to Jamie and Calvin, but the side characters, Will and Maren, deserve a huge shoutout, too. There’s clearly so much more to explore with them, and I’m already eager for the next book in the series.

If you’re into stories with addictive writing, unforgettable characters, and a romance that’s truly something special, From Air is a must-read. Highly recommend!

From Air was so good!!!! Jewel E. Ann did it again. This book was amazing. I loved the banter and back and forth between Fitz and Jaymes. They were perfect for each other. Their chemistry and love was amazing. The story was so good and easy to read. I loved the spice and the storyline. Fitz was a jerk but also so easy to love. I loved Jaymes. She was so sweet and kind and caring. The twist left me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't believe it. I was surprised and left without words. The emotions and heartbreak were perfectly written. The ending was amazing and I can say this was my favorite book for the month and maybe the year.

Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Romance: 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Spice: 🔥🔥

A really enjoyable story about two people who have experienced something that has changed them in a significant way. Jaime decides to see more of America and embraces life as a travel nurse when she gets to her first stop, in Montana. Her first encounter with the abrasive Calvin leaves much to be desired, but there is just something about him. Their roommates hope she may just heal whatever is broken in him, which they joke about often. He is not interested in anything meaningful in his life, work is all he wants to worry about. But Jaime brings out something in him he cant deny and their attraction is hard to deny, despite the no sleeping with other people in the house. Their tragic pasts have other plans for them and put a massive wrench in any future they may have had, and they are torn apart. Jaime just wants to know what secrets her mother kept from her and Calvin wants to never speak about what happened to his family, fate has other plans and they will have to figure out how to live with what happened to them, and maybe find a way to move on, alone or together. I shed a few tears so be prepared! I really enjoyed it. I cannot wait for the third story!

This is a top-read of 2024!!! "From Air" is a captivating read that deserves ALL THE STARS!!!!

Words cannot express how much I loved this book! It was gut-wrenching, intensely emotional, funny, witty, thrilling, suspenseful, sizzling hot, and angsty. I laughed. I cried. My emotions were all over the place. My heart was obliterated. These characters are some of my all-time favorite. Calvin is a smoke-jumper fire fighter and a Jamie is a traveling nurse. They're damaged and have tragic pasts and trauma, but they are not beyond repair. They were supposed to be off-limits, but they are finding it increasingly difficult to fight their attraction to each other. But fate is quite fickle, and throws them some heavy roadblocks. Will Calvin and Jamie's spark ignite and turn into an inferno, or will fate douse the fire before it starts? I was fully entertained by the the witty banter and the shocking plot twists and turns.

Jewel E. Ann is one of my favorite authors, and this book is one of the many reasons why. She has such a way with the words she writes. Her words evoke such strong emotions and conjure up vivid scenes, to where I feel as if I am living the story. I can feel the intense emotions and picture myself as the characters. She is such a talented author, and has totally outdone herself with "From Air." I was entertained from beginning to end, and couldn't put this book down. You won't be sorry! I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book in the Wildfire series. I have purposely kept this review vague, because it deserves to be experienced going in blind. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend reading this book. This is a standalone that ends with a hard-won HEA!

I loved this. I highlighted a few super swoony lines, smiled at all their cute banter, and cried a bunch. Because duh. That's a given with this author's books. At one point I was SHOCKED at how things were going. Jaymes and Fitz were so meant to be, though. Fate may be twisted but it did it's job.
