No es necesario leer el libro anterior.

Ozzy es un padre soltero que perdió a su esposa hace dos años. Tanto él como su hija Lola han quedado profundamente afectados por la pérdida. En el caso de la niña, no puede subirse a un carro, ya que iba en el auto cuando ocurrió el accidente que mató a su madre. Ozzy, por su parte, se muestra reacio a acercarse a otras personas, temeroso de que puedan morir también.

Maren es una piloto que se mudó para estar cerca del lugar donde vivió su hermano, quien falleció.

Ozzy y Maren no buscan enamorarse, pero es imposible que las chispas no salten cuando se conocen, y por más que lo intenten, no pueden mantenerse alejados.



Me enojé por lo de Canadá, pero al final es entendible la reacción de él. Me sorprendió la madurez, entereza, paciencia y amor con los que Mauren manejó la situación.





Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book. Ozzy was my favorite from the start - his genuine and simple affection, love for his daughter, and desire to be a good man drew me in and made me cheer for him and Maren. The development and deepening of their relationship throughout the book was well written, and the banter had me cracking up multiple times. Jewel E. Ann remains a must-read for me whenever she publishes a book, and I'm excited for the rest of this series!

Phenomenal Writing!!!!

Thank you NetGallary for an early review copy of From Nowhere!

This is another fantastic book from Jewel E. Ann!

This book took my breath away! This story has it all, love, tragedy, recovery, humor and steam. It is compelling and superbly written! This book shows you we all need to keep our eyes and ears open during good and not so good times. A special moment can come from nowhere!

The character development was perfect! I was thinking about this book when I was not reading it. You know you are hooked when that happens!

I absolutely LOVE Jewel’s writing!
I am really hoping Jewel writes Will’s story. I strongly believe all three roommates deserve a chance to shine bright!

This is one of Jewel’s best in my opinion! A masterpiece that kept me engaged the entire time!

No spoilers with my review! This is a must read!

This second story in the series that follows a group of roommates as they each find happily ever after is just as endearing as the first. I did manage to confuse myself and read this one first! Maren and Ozzy story starts with a pretty funny meet cute and carries on in the same note, well except for the tragedy that left him a widow and single father. He and his daughter ride their bikes everywhere as a car is out of the question, I will not say more about it so not as to ruin anything for anyone. You will find out all the answers. It is pretty emotional, a lot of manipulation happening from his mother in law that really makes for some hard reading. He finally finds someone that makes him feel a little alive and wants to protect his and Marens time together, Which is not easy when his daughter wants him to find someone to love, and she likes Maren just as much as he does. But healing takes time and their is no one fits all solution, they are really in for a rough time. I really enjoyed this one too, more that the first as I really love a single dad story. Maren is a saint and I loved her to pieces, truly a wonderful, loving human being and I was so invested in their journey to happily ever after! I hope everyone loves it as much as I did. Lola is an amazing little girl full of spirit and an open heart despite her tragic story. What a journey they all went on!

What a powerfully gripping story of growth, grief, and connection. Deeply emotional, with typical Jewel E Ann humor and banter, this book was an immensely enjoyable read.

Ozzy tragically lost his wife and his father, and almost his daughter, in a car accident. As a result of the trauma, he and his daughter bike everywhere in town. This is the story of a father’s deep love for his child, as well as a love story between Ozzy and Maren, a pilot. She turns his life upside down, and ultimately, paves the way for healing, hope, and love…not just for him, but his daughter as well.

I loved the characters, the multifaceted relationships, the banter, the sweetness. This was a wonderful follow up to From Air.

Another gem of a book from one of my fave authors! This one features Maren and Ozzie and we get plenty of meet cute, flirty moments and all the angst we can handle. I loved Ozzie with his little girl and also appreciated how patient that Maren was with his previous trauma. This one felt gritty and realistic and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for everything to work out. Also loved the interactions with the characters from the previous interconnected book. Can’t wait to read more from this world!

I really enjoyed From Air, so I jumped to request the Arc of this one! Thank you to Netgalley for providing it.

This is a very quick read, and there are definitely scenes that could have been longer/more descriptive - but overall this was another win.

I’ve only read this series by Jewel E. Ann, but I am very interested in reading more! Please let there be a third book in this series for Will 🤞🏻

I adored Lola, Maren and Ozzy. This book was high on emotions and brought out so many feels - and Maren had the patience of a Saint!

After reading and loving From Air I was really looking forward to Maren and Ozzy's. story. This one was less twisty than other books by this author, but it had her trademark insightful portrayal of complex characters with big issues to overcome. Beautiful story as I have come to expect from Jewel E. Ann.

This book had me hooked from the very first sentence and I just couldn’t stop reading. The story, the growth, the pain, the love were all so beautiful. You won’t regret reading this one

I adored the first book in the Wildfire series, and was quite worried From Nowhere wouldn’t live up to Jamie and Calvin’s story. However Maren, Ozzie and Lola had me engrossed from the very first page. That was some meet cute!

Just like the previous book, From Nowhere is a perfect blend of love, acceptance, trauma and growth. Balanced in a way that it pulls at your heartstrings, but also has you wildly grinning throughout. I loved the respect and passion Maren had for each other, and for Lola. I paced myself with this one, as I didn’t want it to end. Very much looking forward to Will’s story now!

Thank you Montlake for an early copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

From Nowhere

5☆

THIS SERIES! I am so in love with the characters, the setting, and the unputdownable stories!!

Maren, Ozzy, and Lola’s story (yes Lola. Let’s be serious she stole the show) grabbed ahold of my whole damn heart and never let go. This was another 5⭐️ stunner from Jewel. From that awkard meet cute all the way to the very end, I could not get enough of this heartwarming, emotion filled romance. And the BANTER! Omg this series has by far some of the best banter I have ever read.

It truly was the perfect mix of humor, healing, and heart that resulted in one unforgettable read.

What I loved;
🔥 Slow Burn Romance
🔥 LOL Banter
🔥 Single Dad
🔥 Lola
🔥 ALL The Feels

I said it with From Air, but it bears repeating, this is by far my favorite series of Ann’s and I cannot wait for book three.

Thank you to Montlake and NetGalley for the advanced copy

This is the second book in the wildfire series. I loved the first one, but this one topped it hands down.

Jewel E. Ann is a master storyteller and weaved the perfect amount of banter, vulnerability, and heart into this story. This might be my favorite single dad story to date.

Can't wait for the next book in this series.

From Nowhere is the second book in the Wildfire series and tells Maren and Ozzy's story. And what a whirlwind of feelings and emotions this story delivers.

You meet Maren in book one- From Air. I adored her and couldn't wait for her book. An air tanker pilot, she fights fires across that state of Montana and beyond. An awkward meet cute in the washroom at work with newest aircraft mechanic Ozzy will draw you in. From there an attraction evolves into a flirty friendship and longing. Filled with tension and chemistry that slow burns into some sneaky steamy situations. Sneaky because Ozzy is still healing from the loss of his wife. Living with his in-law's who aren't always supportive, while not wanting to harm his daughter who is still struggling from the trauma of the car accident that took her mom. Can there be a second chance love story here. Especially when tragedy strikes again.

Like any of the author's story- this one was unique with all the feels. There's banter and humor. But also angst and emotion. These characters are unique and complex. And a little bit quirky. There were many aspects of this story that I adored. Every flower and note bundle for example. But there were a few aspects that I didn't love as much. Including the fact that this felt more like Ozzy's story than Maren's. In the end however, the emotion completely captivated me. I had tears in my eyes while feeling so conflicted too in those latter chapters. This author's books don't just make you feel, but make you think too. I enjoyed getting more from Fitz and Jamie. As well as Will. I am really looking forward to his story next! Definitely a series you don't want to miss!

Alright, so I just finished "From Nowhere," and wow, I have thoughts. First off, this book was a "ride." It’s one of those stories where you keep reading because you’re curious about what’s going to happen next, even when you’re side-eyeing some of the choices made along the way.

Let’s get the weird stuff out of the way first—Lola (Ozzy’s 10-year-old daughter) did not feel like an actual 10-year-old. Some of the things she said and did? Yeah, no kid that age would realistically act like that. It pulled me out of the story more times than I’d like. And don’t even get me started on how fast Maren and Ozzy’s relationship moved. One date in, and Maren’s already thinking about buying a house and reshuffling her life to fit these two people she just met. Insta-love is one thing, but this was warp-speed romance.

Now, onto the good stuff: the bond between Ozzy and Lola was genuinely heartwarming, and Maren had a strength about her that I appreciated. She didn’t lose herself to fit into their chaotic lives, which was a nice change of pace. The world-building was solid, and the secondary characters added enough flavour to make the story feel lived-in. Plus, there’s a rawness to the emotional moments that definitely tugged at my heartstrings.

But...the dialogue? Yikes. Some of the conversations between Maren and Ozzy were so awkward I actually winced. No one talks like that, and if they do, I need to meet them because I have questions. Also, Tia (Ozzy’s former in-law) was "a lot." She had her moments, but man, she tested my patience.

Overall, I’d give this one 3.5 stars.

This series started of very strong with book 1 and book 2 was fantastic aswell. Put time aside to binge this book as Jewel has laced the pages and you won't want to put this book down!

Once again we meet Maren, a fire fighter pilot. She is a strong character, but underneath, she has emotions flying through her as she tries to deal with all things that have happened in her life.

Ozzy works with Maren and he has his own issues raising a daughter on his own, with the help of his in laws. He feels that he needs to focus on his job and his daughter and not think about a relationship with anyone.

This story touches the emotions of the characters and what is occurring in their life and how they react to the triggers that they come across. Adding in lots of physical moments in this book, it is the perfect balance to the storyline of these characters.

In this poignant and beautifully written romance, Jewel E. Ann masterfully weaves a tale of grief, healing, and the courage it takes to embrace love again. At its heart, this story is about second chances,both in life and in love, and it leaves a lasting impression on readers who believe in the power of resilience. The bond, love, and care our hero has with his daughter can easily be the reason you will love this book. I love how relationships grow organically, built on shared vulnerability, understanding, and moments of quiet joy.

I was so looking forward to Marin's story and Jewel didn't disappoint. I feel in love with Ozzy. And with Ozzy's daughter Lola. A tragic car accident left Lola scarred and without her Mother and fearful of ever entering a vehicle again. Poor Ozzy is forced to ride his bike everywhere having promised Lola to not get behind the wheel of a car. Fast forward 2 years to his meet cute with Marin and the slow, incredibly romantic wooing ensues.

It was heartwarming and sweet and just what I needed after a string of October dark romances to get my heart lifted and ready for the holidays.
