“Love doesn’t need anything more than a chance.”

No matter how many stories I read from Jewel, my heart is never ready for the emotional journey her words take me on. And I absolutely loved Ozzy and Maren’s perfectly imperfect love story. It was an absolutely beautiful story of love after loss that moved me profoundly. There is no perfect timeline for healing from grief and the aftermath that an unexpected death leaves on our heart. And this story proved that sometimes fate has a way of stepping in when we least expect it. Ozzy and Maren’s hilarious bathroom meet cute was meant to be and brought a jolt of life back to Ozzy and his daughter Lola’s world.

“I don’t know if any part of me deserves any part of her, but I’m going to do my damnedest to pretend that every part of me does.”

It was so satisfying to see Ozzy and Maren connect with each other even if the timing was all wrong. Every moment of sneaking around to get time together, the sweetest flowers and notes and the best donuts around had me falling more and more in love. Their lives had both been impacted by loss and each dealt with it in the only way they knew how and my heart ached over the lasting effects the accident had on Lola. But I loved watching Maren connect with her and show her how to be brave again. They all needed each other and even when the road got hard, they were willing to fight to come out of it together! All my love to this romance!!

“I love you, even if it scares me to death. The only thing that scares me more is trying not to love you.”

Another book that left me staring at my wall wondering what to do with myself now that I was finished this chapter of the Wildfire series…

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.

Ozzy & Maren’s story did not disappoint. Ozzy was amazing. He sacrificed so much for his daughter and tried to be the best dad that he could be to her after his wife passed. I loved Ozzy & Maren’s meet cute! So memorable. The way he courted Maren with notes, and wildflowers and banter was absolutely adorable but he also had a way with words (and a way with his tongue and hands). Having to keep their situationship a secret from Ozzys in-laws (who had moved in to help him take care of his daughter ) created so many obstacles. Be prepared to shed a few tears before you get to the happily ever after though… #worthit

I cannot wait to read Will’s book next!

From Nowhere is absolute magic! I fell head over heels for this novel from page one and was so taken with this romance! I don't feel like I have the words to truly describe how much I adored and loved this novel. Basically if you are looking to be swept up into a beautiful romance then Jewel E. Ann is here to take you on a sweet, charming, funny, cathartic and emotional journey. Ann's writing is comforting, joyful and endearing. Her characters dance with life and experience. This novel is engaging, deliciously paced, and will take you on the highs and lows of a romance with stunning characters you will wish were your friends in real life. Ann's Wildfire series has the perfect balance of sensuality, heartbreak and hope.

Maren and Ozzy are truly the perfect couple. They both have some past tragedy which gives them a level of understanding with each other. Ozzy is also a single father who would do absolutely anything for his daughter, and as his daughter begins to pressure him about dating, he happens to meet Maren at this perfect crossroads. Their romance blossoms with ease as they decide to "sneak around" like teenagers as they explore their chemistry and attraction. Their romance is sensual and sexy, it has this lovely level of humor and humanity that makes it feel real and full of depth. The relationship and adjustments Maren makes in regards to Ozzy's daughter is absolutely beautiful and Maren is such a truly beautiful heroine who sees Ozzy and understands him and the decisions he makes as well as the fact that his daughters needs must come first. I love that Maren falls head of heels for both of them, and she recognizes and know what she wants and what she is willing to do in order to show them her devotion.

I loved each page, each work, each moment and each feeling of this novel. This is one of those romances that will stick with me and I will be sure to revisit over the years. I so highly recommend this novel. I have enjoyed every novel I have read from Jewel E. Ann, and this one has immediately become my absolute favorite and solidified Ann as a must read author for me.

Jewel's Wildfire series has quickly nestled its way into my heart, with characters you can't help but fall for, plotlines that immerse you in the story effortlessly, and a unique kind of charm and writing style that makes her books so incredibly compelling.

From No Where was all this and so much more.

• Mechanic x tanker pilot
• Single dad
• Hilarious meet cute
• Life/love after loss
• Navigating grief
• Falling when you least expect it

For me, Jewel is unmatched at writing a story that makes the idea of grief, healing and courage to love again absolutely PALPABLE. In From No Where, we see this on full display, as our MMC Otto and FMC Maren (who we met in From Air) have the funniest meet-cute at work and subsequently become enamored with each other. Their love story is complicated by the fact that he's a widower with a 10-year old who suffered great trauma when her mom passed away, his in-laws live with him and don't approve of him moving on and generally, enough emotional obstacles to stack the deck against them. However, Jewel beautifully weaves a story that shows the power of the human spirit to carry on after loss, to love when it's seemingly impossible and to be brave, for yourself and for those you love.

The story was so perfectly emotional, especially when it came to Lola, Ozzy's daughter. Her growing relationship with Maren, desire for her dad to move on and her incredible perseverance was truly incredible to read. She and Ozzy are one hell of a team - and Maren rounds them out so perfectly.

This story has vulnerability and longing. Wit and quiet joy. I read it in a single day, barely coming up for air. Another perfect story from Jewel I feel really lucky to have read.

I really enjoyed Ozzy and Maren's story and Lola was the cherry on top!
I felt for Ozzy and Lola and the tragedy they endured. Lola's residual trauma that Ozzy accommodated and helped her work through was so touching. Maren and Ozzy's meet cute, was hilarious! I enjoyed the playful banter between these two and the obvious chemistry they had. I appreciated Maren's independence and a career she made for herself in a male dominated world was bada$$!
Emotionally, it didn't hit enough to be a 5 star, but it was a really good 4!

Single dad trope is one of my favorites and is becoming highly popular. This was done in a fresh and creative way. I enjoyed the back story of Ozzy and re- telling of the relationship with his late wife. Maren came into his life when he wasn’t looking. She was the perfect fit for him and their bathroom meeting, is one of the funniest scenes in the book. I can’t wait to keep reading more of this authors work. She writes real, relatable characters.

"I love you, even if it scares me to death. The only thing that scares me more is trying not to love you."

Jewel E. Ann has done it again! I cannot begin to describe just how much I loved this book. From Nowhere is just another reminder of why Jewel is still one of my favorite authors. Her books never seize to amaze me and this one didn’t disappoint! For me, this book was the perfect mix of two of my favorite tropes…single dad and small town. No one writes single dad romances quite like this author and this book was unlike anything I’ve read before. From Nowhere is a beautifully written story that will hit you with all feels! You’ll fall in love with Ozzy and Maren. Their sweet and emotional love story was filled with laughs, heartbreak, and plenty of spicy goodness. The chemistry and banter between them was done so well. There story is the kind of romance that will grab you from the start and never let go. It’s a definite must read for all single dad and small town romance lovers. I cannot recommend this series enough. I loved every bit of this story and look forward to reading more of Jewel’s books.

Ozzy is my new favorite single parent in any book. I loved this guy so much. Complicated, yet simple. He is so thoughtful and sweet. Gosh, I just get giddy when I think about him. I want to say more about him but I don't want to give any of the plot away.

Maren is the kind of heroine that I love and you can count on from Jewel. Strong, quirky, confident... A firefighting pilot. She is the perfect match for Ozzy. I loved all of her interactions with Lola.

Lola is an absolute hoot. She is 10, going on 25. She had me laughing so much. But she also had me in tears too. So much tragedy in her short life.

I also listened to some of this on audio, and I enjoyed it so much. The narration was terrific.

"Home is not a where, it's a who"

Ozzy, a single dad + airplane mechanic has a run in with one of the pilots, Maren. Sparks fly and whooing begins, but life (and Ex In Laws) seems destined to keep them apart. They keep sneaking around to spend time with each other so the In Laws + Lola doesn't find out. Reading about Maren + Ozzy's banter, Ozzy's struggle with moving on, and the things these two do to spend time together was such a treat.

I absolutely LOVE this series. These are interconnected standalones, but I do recommend starting with book 1 because so much backstory and character development is mentioned in book 1. Maren and Ozzie had my giggling and kicking my feet almost the entire time. Like her books normally, this book covers heavier topics, such as death of a spouse + death of a parent. I truly loved their flirtatious banter, lola's antics, and watching them fall in love. I definitely recommend this series!

Dealing with trauma is bad enough, but also having a child deal with it is another wheelhouse.

Izzy and Lola lost someone really special to them. Both of them have dealt with their trauma is different ways. Dad caters to daughter’s fears and Lola cripples her father’s future. But is this something they can over come?
Maren is living life to the fullest. Boy she can get into some doozies. No toilet paper, no tampons, food on her clothes. Having to embarrass herself further she asks for help. And falls in love. The tug of war these two face to come together is beautiful. And Lola she is such a doll. I really loved her from the beginning. She’s lost a lot in life but she makes up for it with determination and spunk.

Tropes: Single Dad, He Falls First, Tragic Past, Pilot/Firefighter FMC, Mechanic MMC,
Cinnamon Roll Hero, Secret Romance, and Small Town

Triggers: car accident(mentioned), death (mentioned), plane accident

This book had me from the first scene. Maren is a firefighter pilot and Ozzie is an airplane mechanic. They meet at work. Ozzy lost his wife 2 years ago in a car accident and has a daughter that won’t get in a car. They bike every where. Maren and Ozzy had great chemistry and so much great character growth for all the characters in this story. It was so well written with deep emotion that hit me in all the feels and amazing conflict that keep me glued to the book from start to finish. The spicy was perfect amount without taking away from the story.

I can’t wait to go back and read the first book in the series. This is my first Jewel E Ann book but it definitely won’t be my last. This book was provided by NetGalley and Montlake for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I liked it but I didn’t love it! I think I had such high expectations after reading From Air as that’s one of my favourite romance books and I’m sad to say this didn’t quite match up. It felt like a book of two halves, I wanted the angst and tension that we usually get with her writing and i felt it fell short on that front, it felt very insta lovey for me and also their actions felt a little childish at times, not that of two people in their thirties. However, the second half of the book redeemed it for me! This was what I was wanting and hoping for and I loved everything from about 60%! The second half had so much emotion and my heart broke for Ozzy and Lola!

I would still recommend reading it because overall, I love the characters in this series and it could just be a me thing. I’m still looking forward to the rest of this series

Jewel E. Ann can do NO wrong. I’ve read all of the Wildfire series and Sunday Morning series and all have been easy 5-star reads that have made me both laugh and cry. Ozzy was the best dad to Lola. Giving up the things he did, because of her fears. Letting her heal through her trauma at her own pace. Putting aside his own happiness for anyone and everyone. He loved big and he loved hard. And Maren, I loved her in From Air and now I love her even more. She stepped into the role of dating a single father with nothing but patience and grace. But the fact that she fell for Lola first? She showed up to help Lola through her fears with absolutely zero pressure. My heart 🥹 Their banter had me laughing until my stomach ached. So many sweet and cute moments. I will be thinking about Ozzy and Maren for a long time coming.

Thankful for an ARC from Jewel, NetGalley, and Valentine PR. Read if you love secret romance, workplace romance, single dads, small towns, tragic pasts, love after loss, angst, and a cinnamon roll hero.

After finishing From Air, I immediately knew Jewel E. Ann would be an auto buy author for me. Her addictive storytelling, perfectly executed banter, and swoon worthy book boyfriends won me over.

Jamie is such a cool FMC she’s an air tanker pilot, and Ozzy is an aircraft mechanic, making this a workplace romance. Oh, and did I mention he’s a single dad and the biggest cinnamon roll? Their meet cute was hilariously adorable, and the banter between Ozzy and his daughter had me smiling nonstop.

And because it’s Jewel E. Ann, you know there’s going to be angst. This book explores grief, loss, and mental health after loss, making it both emotional and unforgettable.

Thank you to Jewel E. Ann and Valentine PR for the ARC

Magnificent! Each book Jewel E. Ann releases becomes my new top read! This was such a beautiful and touching story I quickly became immersed in, & couldn't put down. It is a story about the complexities of: navigating grief, death, single parenthood, tragedy, trauma, & learning how to live & love again. The characters are wonderful, flawed, kind and relatable. The plot was perfection. It shredded my heart, but Jewel E. Ann mended it with a beautiful, beautiful HEA. I can't recommend this book... This series enough!!!

This was such a fantastic read! Ozzy is a widower and single dad doing his best to help his daughter cope with the lingering fears from losing her mom in a car accident two years ago. Enter Maren—whom he meets in the most unexpected way (IYKYK). Their chemistry and banter are off the charts, but they both worry that the timing isn’t quite right. Together, they navigate grief, love, and healing in a way that feels incredibly realistic and heartfelt. Jewel E. Ann always delivers stories that challenge your thoughts and tug at your heartstrings, and this one was no exception!

Rating: 5. freaking. stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️

JEA does it again!!!! This 👏🏼 book 👏🏼 was 👏🏼 EVERYTHING!

The single dad trope is definitely one of my top 5 favorites, and this book nailed it! Honestly, every time I pick up a book by JEA, I know I am going to love it, but this one? This one might just be my absolute favorite of hers so far.

The banter between Maren and Ozzy was PERFECT. The way they joked around with each other? So freaking cute. My heart ached for Ozzy, but it absolutely shattered for his daughter, Lola. That little girl completely stole my heart. This book dives into some heavy topics like loss, grief, and PTSD, but it handles them with such care and tenderness—it was really beautiful to read.

I’m telling everyone I know to pick this one up, no joke. It's that good!

If Jewel E. Ann writes it, I’m all in—no hesitation. My love for this story is off the charts. It gave me all the feels, and I fell so hard for Maren and Ozzy. Their chemistry and banter had me hooked from the start. This is exactly my kind of romance—the teasing, the playful back-and-forth, the build-up that had me hanging onto every word. I adored every single moment between them.

Ozzy’s relationship with his daughter, Lola, was absolutely beautiful, and seeing his bond with Maren grow only made it more emotional. Their journey was the perfect mix of humor, heart, and love. This trio put me through it all, and that HEA? So worth it.

My goodness, this book and series are so good! I loved From Nowhere. I adored Maren and Ozzy. They were such a fantastic couple. This book had just enough emotion to hit me in the feels, but not so much that it was overwhelming. Very well done!

This book sucked me in immediately and I never wanted it to end. So many emotions - I cried, I laughed. Ozzy was absolutely perfectly written. Loved his relationship with his daughter and how he fell for Maren. So many emotional things for them to work through but what a fun, steamy, dirty talking, swoony, romantic read! As always, well done by Jewel E. Ann!
