From Nowhere

Wildfire

De: Jewel E. Ann

Narrado por: Benjamin Sands, Amy McFadden

From Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Jewel E. Ann comes the exciting second novel in the Wildfire series, an emotional romance that burns up the page as it tugs at the heart.

When Maren Bernabe stops by the office to update some paperwork, she’s not looking for love. Then sparks fly during an awkward meet-cute with a stranger in the bathroom, and suddenly anything seems possible.

A seasoned air tanker pilot, Maren battles fires across the rugged Montana wilderness. With firefighters for roommates, she’s no stranger to tough guys—or tough situations. Ozzy Laster is the helpful stranger she meets, one of Cielo Aviation’s newest aircraft mechanics who’s faced his fair share of hardship too. Two years ago, his wife and father died in a car crash. Now Ozzy and daughter Lola shun cars in favor of bikes.

Maren and Ozzy fall hard, but guilt forces them to hide their relationship from Ozzy’s disapproving in-laws. And Lola. They all want to protect her from more heartbreak. But when tragedy strikes again, Lola’s reaction will surprise them all. And Ozzy could get a second chance at love after all…

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A beautifully written second chance love story, this book packs the emotional punch but in the best way possible.”—Harlequin Junkie

JEA is always the greatest reads

I loved the banter and the sweetness of this story with the right amount of angst

Loving Wildfire

Jewel E. Ann did it again, and Wildfire is quickly becoming a favorite series of mine. I knew going into this I was going to love Marren, from the first book, From Air, her sassy personality and all the banter but I didn’t realize what a match of a man she was going to find, oh Ozzy! Ozzy surprised me in the best way. Someone who has gone thru the unthinkable, being a responsible single dad with the weight of the world on his shoulders he is also fun and flirty and I was grinning so many times throughout this journey. And Lola, sweet Lola Ozzy’s adorable little girl stole the show. This incredible 9 year old (who happens to be the same age as my son) had me laughing out loud at some of the similar conversations we have in our house. On a serious note, this little girl has been through it, but she has so much love surrounding her you know in the end she is going to thrive. The narration was so wonderful, I loved the combo of both Benjamin Sands and Amy McFadden, feeling their smiles behind the sweet flirting, the truthful moment and the banter with sassy little Lola. This was truly a gem to listen to on audio and follow along on KU.

4.5 stars

really good trauma rep

Really enjoyed this second book of the Wildfire series! Izzy's daughter, Lola, was by far the star. I fell in love with her on the first page! By I loved Ozzy and Maren too.

If you love a good meet cute this is the book for you! This is one of the most unique ones I've read in a long time.

Like many Jewel E. Ann books this one has quite a few triggers warn so please check those. Lola and Ozzy have been through a lot before the boom even starts and then of course more things come up.

I love books where trauma is portrayed very realistically. I also love books where the adults all go all in for the child. Lola has a whole army surrounding her and I love it.

I highly recommend this for fans of single dad romance. Ozzy is a great dad just trying to figure out life and take care of his daughter. You'll love him.

I love that this was a KU read/listen. the narration was fantastic. The humorous moments, the occasional frustrations, the emotional moments all came through very realistically.

Well written

This was a cute book that dealt with very sad subjects. Death of parents, a brother, a significant other, and the ramifications of the trauma left behind. Mare has the patience of a SAINT. She takes command of the situation and goes for what she wants. Lola was so fun to read. But Ozzy… poor Ozzy was so broken and hesitant the entire book. I wouldn’t have been able to deal with some of the things he’d say or his reactions to situations. It’s a nice book and you won’t regret reading it.

Finished in one sitting!

This series has my heart. I just love Ozzy, Maren, and Lola...and Bandit!
I am really going to need Will's story next!!

So much great emotion

This book was well written with deep emotion that tore me apart and put me back together. The narrators were amazing at bringing the book to life.

I just love this author!

The narration gets a 10/10 from me.
But THE BOOK was AMAZING.

I love this author and I will read anything by her.

This book was so special and I love ALL the characters, but Lola was my favorite. Watching the little girl conquer her fears was the most beautiful part of this book.

I love it!

I love this series!

I was so pleasantly surprised with this series! I’ve only ever found one other series that had free audio with a KU member ship and I think these stories top those!

Pure gold solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Everything Jewel E. Ann writes is magic. I devoured this audiobook. The story, the narration, loved it.

BRILLIANT

I liked book 1. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

But man. I LOVED THIS ONE MORE.

Every single thing about this book was brilliant. I loved Maren in book 1 and getting to really know her in this one was fantastic. She is so witty, sassy, and resilient. I loved how she was so open with Ozzy.

Speaking of Ozzy… holy hot single dad, batman. Say whaaaaat!!! That man was just so freaking perfect. 😍 He had me seeing hearts the entire freaking time. Dont get me started on how much I loved the scenes with him and Lola. Be still my heart!! And the whole flowers thing? Swoon!!

Now, let’s talk about THE COOLEST 10year old to ever be written. Lola. She was soooo funny and SO smart! Gosh, she was my favorite character. Along with Bandit of course. 🐈

Sigh. This book was just SO FREAKING GOOD.

I got the audiobook and all I wanted to do was listen and listen. Until I finished it and now I regret not slowing down because…what now? Ugh. Total book hangover. The narrators, Benjamin Sands and Amy McFadden did a fantastic job with the story.

Overall, this book was pure magic. Go grab your copy.
