It's no secret that Jewel E Ann is one of my favorite authors, I've already read 18 of her books, so when I saw an option to read an early copy of her new book, I jumped at the chance. And what can I tell you? It was perfect. I don't want to say it's my favorite book of hers, but for sure in the top three.


Jamie is a traveling nurse. she leaves Florida for the first time in her life and goes to start a new job in Montana.
When she arrives at the house where she rents a room, she discovers that her room is in a shed and that instead of one roommate, she has three firefighter roommates (one of them is a firefighter pilot and the second book in the series is about her, but that's another story 😉), she takes everything with a smile because she's like that smiling and optimistic.

In contrast, Calvin (Fitz) Fitzgerald, one of her roommates is pessimistic and very grumpy. Fitz is a smoke jumper whose job is to parachute from planes into fires and put them out from the inside. He is married to his job, not interested in a relationship, marriage or children.

The tension between Jamie and Fitz starts from the moment they meet and it's so well written... the banter between the two of them is one of the best I've ever read. And if all the contrasts are not enough to separate them, they both pledged not to sleep with one of the roommates because otherwise they would be kicked out of the house...

The first half of the book was charming and funny, but from the way I know the author, it was clear to me that she would not leave the lovely couple alone and indeed, she did not disappoint... The twist of the book made me scream and startle my family members, I was really surprised.

In conclusion, a perfect book, very witty, very romantic, but with quite a bit of drama.. I will definitely read it again

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was tragic but so beautiful. Words cannot begin to express my emotions right now.

I will always stand by my thoughts that the best books make you cry, and this book had me sobbing.

When they got together early on into the story I knew that I was in for heartbreak. That was my first red flag: it can’t be that easy, can it? It wasn’t. It was gut wrenching as I read how this love story was progressing. The author did an amazing job at showing the emotions the two MCs were feeling. I could feel the desperation, the longing, and the love that they felt for each other.

Fitz was aggravating me so much! It took forever for him to get himself in order, and I was scared that it would take a terrifying accident occurring for him to finally realize what he had to loose. It took pushing from different sources but I was glad when he finally went after his girl - the girl he had but recklessly pushed aside. I LOVED Jaymes. This girl was absolutely perfect. She was full of so much love to give and deserved the entire world. The pain she had to go through before getting her happily ever after was ridiculous, but I feel like her strength is what made her ending worth the wait. I could never be in her position, I honestly don’t know how she did it.

I 100% recommend this book!

I couldn’t put this book down, and now I will be binging all of her books! I thought it was just a firefighter romance, but it’s so much more. It’ll have you laughing one moment, breaking your heart the next, and then slowly putting it back together. The perfect mix of tension, banter, and longing.

Calvin is my new book boyfriend with the biggest heart, he deserves the world but has built walls around himself due to past trauma. Jamie, on the other hand, is sweet, sassy, and loves pushing his buttons…mainly to help break those walls down. The only catch? The house rule: no hooking up with with roommates.

4.5 🌟
Thank you so much to Montlake Publishing and Jewel E. Ann for providing me with an advanced copy of From Air via NetGalley! I truly appreciate it!!
Let the record show that Fitz and Jaymes had me crying in my bathroom at 11 o’clock at night…they were worth every tear. I absolutely devoured this book. It’s easy to capture my interest with the premise of roommates falling in love, she’s a travel nurse and he’s jumping out of planes to fight fires…how could they possibly work?! Oh y’all, DO THEY WORK!! I am an absolute sucker for great banter and soulmatism…they totally got me. The definition of you find love in the darndest of places. I felt their connection deep in my bones. This book was so much more than I was expecting and somehow exactly what I expected. Jewel can do no wrong and she is constantly writing these compelling novels that have me feeling everything. I thought I knew what was coming and yet again, that plot twist hit me like a freight train. See above: crying in my bathroom. I cannot wait for book two coming in the new year!

I hadn’t read a Jewel E Ann book but I had heard they were angsty and emotional.

So I’m reading the first 30% and cackling away at the interactions between Jamie and Calvin. Hilarious. Her comebacks to his dry acerbic humour, loved it. In the back of my mind however I feel I’m being set up for a fall.
I was right.

As you get further into the story the emotions dig deeper. Which I loved. I felt the struggle with them, I felt the love and the longing. When the conflict occurs the responses are believable and true to each characters personality.

Jaymes (amazing name for a girl) and Calvin were a treat to read about. The slow-burn nature of their relationship worked beautifully. The writing of the characters was done so well as I really felt like I knew them. Jewel E Ann, you have a new fan. I’m in love with the way you develop a story.

Thank you to Valentine PR and the author for the arc and this is my honest review.

From Air - Jewel E Ann

The tension between these two from the beginning was absolute perfection, their flirty banter was so fun to read!

I loved that Jewel got you to fall for both characters, then them together before breaking you apart with some wild twists and turns I didn’t see coming!

Jaymes was such a loveable FMC, she was kind and caring, and willing to push Fitz out of his comfort zone! Fitz is so so frustrating but also I kind of loved him a lot!

This was so interesting for me as it showed me all the different types of ‘firefighters’ as Jaymes ends up living with 3 who do different types of firefighting jobs! Also Jaymes being a travelling nurse was a new concept for me too!

The revelations that come to light were so so wild! I loved the way that Jewel fed you crumbs throughout before dropping the big game changer!

Honestly I would recommend this book to anyone it was such a good read!

“You’re an illusion… A distraction. I can’t stop looking at you. And I can’t stop navigating closer to you, even though I know you’re unreachable.”

If Jewel writes it, I’m going to read it! I always look forward to each new book and this one didn’t disappoint. When it comes to Jewel’s books, I never know what we’re going to get. But I’m always down for whatever emotional rollercoaster she has in store for us. Her stories always have a way of sucking you in and never letting go.

Jamie and Calvin’s story had me hooked from beginning to end. The banter and chemistry between these two was simply perfection. The connection between them was undeniable and sizzling hot! But seeing how fate seemed to bring these two together to heal one another just tugged at my heartstrings. Jaymes and Calvin’s story was the perfect mix of humor, heartbreak, and perseverance. I couldn’t get enough of this emotionally charged love story. If there’s one thing that I love about Jewel’s books is how her stories bring out all the feels and this story was quite the emotional rollercoaster. For me, this book had it all. From Air is the perfect story for fans of tropes such as enemies to lovers, small town, forced proximity, found family, grumpy/sunshine and age gap romances.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It’s definitely one of the best enemies to lovers romances that I’ve read in a while. This book was the perfect kickoff to Jewel’s Wildfire series and a definite must read that you won’t want to miss!

The banter. The love. The spice.

Wow. Wow. Wow. 🥰 Jaymes (Jamie) and Calvin (Fitz) were perfect MCs and I wish I could have more of them.

This book was so good! It was beautiful and heartbreaking, with tension and angst, trauma and healing, love and family. I could not put it down and it is still living in my head rent free over a week after I’ve finished it.

There is so much more I want to say about this book but I also don’t want to give too much away. JUST PICK IT UP ASAP!

This book needs to come with a warning. Holy roller coaster of emotions. I was NOT expecting what I read after reading the blurb about this one. That being said Jewel did a wonderful job navigating these treacherous things called emotions in this book. Their relationship reminded me of the one in Ugly Love. I was expecting Calvin to be a grump which LORD was he, but he was also soooo gooey on the inside. You just had to get through his walls which were HIGH and THICK. Jaymes was a fresh breath of air for him. She was determined to crack him and was committed to staying along for the ride to a point. Every time I felt like they were getting somewhere Calvin would pull back again. I was baffled at the tug and pull. They had kind of an instant chemistry that you could feel through the pages. I liked the age gap. I liked how strong Jaymes (Jamie) was. She knew what she wanted which was Calvin BUT she wasn't willing to give up her dreams for him unless he met her halfway. Calvin was just an enigma. He would do all of these things to show Jamie how he felt but then would back away and make the excuse that she knew the score. Not going to lie I had a HARD time liking him until I had a better understanding of what he was trying to protect because of what he had endured. I liked how much Jamie pushed him. I liked that they were able to overcome it all FINALLY and get their HARD EARNED HEA.

Jamie is making her next move with her job as a traveling nurse. She has gotten setup in a house with a fireman through someone she knows in Missoula, Missouri. She is expecting to be a little out of her element. She is NOT expecting this immediate attraction with her new roommate, Calvin. She loves Will and Maren (her other roommates). Calvin is the enigma. He messes with her. He pranks her. They are doing this back and forth prank thing, but there is this underlying chemistry between them that neither of them are touching. Not just because there is a no hookup rule for the roommates, but because she can sense he won't be able to give her what she needs. But things just keep growing between them. So when they end up on a trip to Miami they can't fight it any longer. They have the best night together. They day drink together. They commit to each other how they can, but they also seem to understand that Calvin isn't willing to give her everything. So when they get home, they are back to roommates. Jamie understands there are things he doesn't want to talk about. She understands he is guarding himself, but she can only push him so far. So she applies for another job in California. She is devastated but not surprised when he lets her go. They decide to be "friendly" with each other. But then he comes to visit as surprise, and things continue to blossom. They are now committed. They are doing this. But then after Calvin finally tells her what happened to his family, the unthinkable happens. Jamie is unexpectedly connected to it. She finds out a lot about her past that she never knew. So now that she has him she has to let him go or at least that is what she has convinced herself. But will their love be enough to stand this? Will he be able to move past what she has told him? Because she knows she loves him for forever but she also knows that he might not reciprocate.

Calvin is set in his ways. He doesn't do relationships. He doesn't want a family. He THRIVES on his job which is being a smoke jumper. It is the adrenaline he needs. So when they get a new roommate and starts feelings things again, he does what he always does. He pours gasoline all over any thought of them being anything. At the same time, he can't stop thinking about her. He can't stop thinking about what they could maybe be but he knows in his heart of hearts, it will never happen. So when they end up going on a weekend trip together, they cave. He gives her what she wants with caveats. Nothing can go beyond this. He knows how she feels and she kind of knows how he feels. When they get home, they are back to nothing. He loses himself in work. He lets her move to California which is when he realizes his life is not the same without her in it. He knows he is a jerk but he can't help it. He is protecting himself. He doesn't want anyone to ever go through what his grandma went through. So even though she is what she is to him, she's his person. He finds himself not giving her everything. Until he can't fight it anymore. And now he is thinking about the future and ALL the things. But then she throws the unthinkable his way. She is somehow connected to what happened to his family through all of these flukes she has found out she isn't who she thought she was. And now he is back to hiding. It's too much. Their love might not be enough. But then he gets another chance with her and realizes that he was going to go after her anyways because she is his endgame. She is HIS PERSON.

This book made me feel SOO many things. I was excited and hanging on to when they would give in. But then I was crushed. Almost every time I thought we were getting somewhere I would be excited and then crushed. I don't know how Jamie stayed in it as long as she did but then I do because she loved him. I was heartbroken at learning about what happened to Calvin's fam. I was heartbroken to learn about Jamie's past. This book was about finding your person and fighting to make it work. Fighting through the grief and being brave enough to stand with them. I would definitely recommend it but with a box of tissues LOL.

Thank you to Valentine PR and Jewel for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!!

I could not put this book down!

JEA gets you invested in the story within the first page.

The story telling in this book was phenomenal. I adored Fitz and Jamie. There connection was so authentic. I loved their banter and seeing their connection grow. There is humor, tension, swoon, heartache, spice, and moments that had me all in my feelings.

And oh that twist! I did NOT see that coming!

I have loved every book I have read by JEA. If you haven't read anything by her, you need to!

Jamie and Calvin story is an angsty forbidden romance that is going to steal your heart. Their journey is filled with lot of emotions. I felt a strong attachment to both the characters. They were complex yet very lovable.

I Commend the Author for writing such complex story with an ease. I would Highly recommend it to all readers and Cannot wait to read the next book.

This is a perfect fit for readers who crave a heartwarming and emotional romance that combines humor, wit, and a strong sense of hope, with a dash of mystery and adventure, set against the stunning backdrop of rural Montana.

Tropes: travel nurse x smoke jumper, small town, roommates, forced proximity, grump x sunshine, secret relationship, angsty, hero with traumatic past

Fitz + Jaymes were so unexpected! I’ve learned that nothing is truly as it seems with Jewel E Ann’s stories and I absolutely love that. I went into this not knowing anything other then the MMC was a smoke jumper and OH MY was my mind blown. It was just a beautiful story. Getting to see Fitz heal and grow because of his love for Jaymes was so pure. There were some angsty moments where they both just made me wanna throw my kindle, but overall I just wanted to hug them both. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!!

I thought this book was so good , I loved the writing in this . I truly love the banter between the two main characters! It made me want more after it was done . I gave it a 4/5 stars . Definitely going to recommend it to my friends .

“Jaymes, you’re my favorite kind of wrong.”

When Jamie Andrews moves in with a house full of firefighters, things start heating up fast. Battling the wilderness of rural Montana, these guys are always charging into danger—for a living, for duty, for the rush—and since Jamie is a psychiatric nurse, they fascinate her analytic mind. She can’t help but fixate on Calvin, a grumpy, enigmatic smoke jumper ten years her senior. She makes playfully tormenting him her pet project, trying to get him to open up. It turns out he gives as good as he gets.

When something smoldering between them sparks, they’ll have to keep it quiet, which makes Jamie start to wonder about Calvin’s secret, the one he won’t explain. She’ll learn more after life pulls them apart. But as she follows the truth like a trail of flame into the dark, will it lead her to hearth and home with Calvin…or will it all go up in a blaze?

This book was beautifully written. I swooned, cried and gasped. There were times I was worried that Jaymes and Calvin wouldn’t have a HEA.

Buckle in for this cozy romantic ride.

“Calvin Fitzgerald makes me laugh. He makes me cry. He makes me swoon. He makes me blush. He makes me feel.”

Oh my gosh, I loved it! I have read other novels by this author and loved them. This novel did not disappoint. So so so good! I went into this novel blind not knowing much about the plot. I would recommend doing this. This novel took my emotions on such a wild ride. I loved the dialogue and the banter. From the first chapter this novel captured my attention and held on tight until the very last page. Even then this novel floated around in my head for days after I read it. So so good! I loved it! I loved Calvin and Jamie. Their chemistry was so so good! Once I started reading I could not put this novel down. This meant staying up all night reading. So so worth losing sleep over. This novel touched my heart! I can hardly wait to see what this author has coming next. I loved this novel!

Say hello to my latest obsession. I didn’t think Jewel could top If This is Love, but she might have done it with this one. From Air had me in a chokehold from start to finish, and I loved every minute of it. No one does angsty romance like Jewel E. Ann. She’ll have you crying one minute and laughing the next—the perfect balance of heavy and light.

This book deals with lots emotional topics, but the top tier banter keeps it from becoming too overwhelming. Jamie and Fitz were the perfect pairing. Give me a broody, grumpy MMC and a witty, sunshine-y FMC any day! I loved the depth Jewel created with these characters. I loved them all! I never wanted the book to end, and I can’t wait for book two!!

This is a wild ride of full blown ANGST and I’m here for it. From Air is a masterpiece and I will die on that hill. I’m in love with every single jaw dropping moments, and the love that flourished from it. Bravo, Jewel E Ann, BRAVO!

I don't think emotional is a big enough word to cover how this book made me feel! I have seen everyone raving about this author and I can see why! What a rollercoaster this was! I just loved everything about it, the banter, the feels, the burn, the heartache and more. A great story and unlike anything I've read. Loved the twist and turns. Can't wait for book 2.

Jewel has done it again! She manages to pack so much into her books, and doesn’t shy away from allowing her characters to experience true emotions, like grief and anger.

The chemistry between Fitz and Jamie was immediate, even though they were both resistant to the idea of a relationship. The physical tension was palpable and had me screaming from the rooftops for them to *get together already*! I loved the fact that he was a smoke jumper and she was a traveling psychiatric nurse.

Through the journey of traveling to Montana for her job, Jamie uncovers some deeply rooted family secrets that change the trajectory of their relationship in a pretty significant way. Their individual and collective journeys through the grieving process were refreshing to see, and made them characters that were very easy to connect with.
