She is his student.

Sometimes ... fate is forbidden.

Everything feels temporary when you’ve experienced tragedy—until Henna Lane meets Bodhi at a music festival.

Young and spontaneous, they have a lust for seizing the moment, falling hard and fast.

When Bodhi is forced to leave without a goodbye, Henna thinks she’ll never get over him.

But then she meets Mr. Malone, her sexy, new guidance counselor.

They are reckless.
They are forbidden.

When their secret is discovered, Henna has to choose between finishing school—banned from seeing Mr. Malone—or dropping out to follow her nomad dreams.

Henna chooses her dreams.

Life is not a destination or a journey.

Some things are more than temporary.

Forbidden can never be ignored.

But if she returns for him, will he still be hers?

"There is an emotional depth to all of their words which lets you know this story matters. These characters' stories matter." ~Professor Romance

This is a story that will engulf you in its pain, its beauty, its honesty, and its love ... Jewel E Ann has done it again with her inherently incredible talent for creating some of the most beautiful characters we've ever read ~ TotallyBooked

Exquisitely painful and beautiful, A Place Without You is so much more than just a forbidden tale. It's a moving, unforgettable romance that illustrates how heartbreakingly wonderful it is to be tragically, impossibly and imperfectly human. ~Ella Fields

Henna & Bodhi❤️ this story gripped me from the beginning and at first it felt like a fun, lighthearted book, but then it turned into so much more. So much raw emotion, many struggles, grief, pain, but also growth, perseverance and love. Everyone needs to read this book, it will stay with you forever.

A Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Story Of Forbidden Love

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

Jewel E Ann has spun her magical web and graced her readers with a complex, highly interwoven novel involving well developed primary and secondary characters. This author has a gift of stellar writing and transporting readers into the hearts and minds of the characters. We “feel” their joy, heartache, inner struggles, and perseverance. This story has so many controversial issues that can’t help but mandate us to question our own beliefs and views. As a human, you make a devastating life choice that leads to grave consequences. When is the guilt absolved and self- loathing enough? What is important in life? Is education first and foremost or can one learn so much more through travels and exploration? What does it mean to have a quality life and when it is perceived to no longer exist, what rights do we have to choose our own fate. Parent/child relationship....... how complex is it when a child relates to their mom using the first name or the the title “Mom?” Is being the child’s friend always such a bad thing? As far as the forbidden love scenario, the passing of time is the only viable solution.

Great job, Ms. Ann. Thank you for a story that tugged at our heart strings then left us rewarded with warm fuzzy feelings at the conclusion.

A Place Without You
by Jewel E. Ann

Fans of Emily Henry will appreciate the angsty love story of Henna and Bodhi. We watch Henna and Bodhi navigate their love for each other over the course of many years and a number of pivotal events, as they try to find a place to fit in the other’s life.

I enjoyed this story and felt a deep connection for the characters. The feeling of identification and peace that Bodhi found in Henna’s love for him was well developed and I could feel it as I read along.

However, I did find Henna to be a bit aggressive and exasperating at times. I suppose that was intentional. She was 19 years old when the book started after all. Nonetheless, at times it was frustrating to watch her push Bodhi so much and be generally careless.

This books also offers a welcomed and nuanced exploration of marijuana- how it affects people using it for both recreational and medical purposes. Henna’s struggle with chronic pain was described in a sensitive and believable way. I appreciated the thoughtful way that we saw Henna find benefit, and sometimes harm, from her use of marijuana.

I really enjoyed this book and recommend it.

4.5 stars. In typical Jewel Ann style, right off the bat there's a heroine who is bold and sassy with a bit of a reckless or rebellious attitude. Henna Lane doesn't sweat the small stuff after surviving an experience that taught her to live her life to the fullest. She's all about adventure and exploration as well as giving into a good time. Bodhi comes along like an unassuming surfer cowboy with rock band musical tastes and it's like an instant electric zap to Henna. Their exchanges were really cute and flirty with an undertone of sweet. Henna comes on really strong and although Bodhi doesn't seem to mind, he's already noticing there's some stark differences between he and Henna, but welcomes the reprieve from his daily life that she provides for him.

I wouldn't say this was an overly angsty story like some of Jewel Ann's other books, although there are some moments that are ulcer inducing. There are moral dilemmas woven throughout the plot that gave me pause as to what was the right thing to do. That was already enough to give me some reader anxiety about where this story was going to go and when Henna or Bodhi would make the wrong decisions. But is it wrong when it's born out of love for another person? Henna, for all of her vibrant youthfulness, is in fact young, but there are moments when her maturity speaks volumes over her actual age. As for Bodhi, he is mature, but he's also very burdened by a past that he can't let go of because it affects him in the present. My heart squeezed hard for him and what he was dealing with. As humans, it's impossible to make the right decision the first time every time. But what matters is righting the wrongs afterwards and learning the lesson to be a better person to avoid such costly mistakes again.

I really loved Bodhi and Henna’s relationship although I was a little slower than them to catch up with their intense level of chemistry, it was like a jump off the diving board into the abyss with no hope of return when read from Henna's POV. I adored Bodhi, he's the tender hearted conflicted hero whose personal wants war with his responsibilities. Yet he can't help but want what Henna has to offer. There's a sensitive issue towards the end that really highlighted how people have differing opinions on what is the right thing to do and puts relationships to the test, because ultimately, it is selfish on each party's behalf, and that a person in a position with very little choices still wants to make their own final choice. I appreciated how this section was portrayed and my favorite part was everything that came afterward. There was no way I could have predicted how this story was going to go based on the blurb so the surprises revealed kept me engrossed and the character journey was inspiring.

Hold onto your heart. This book is exceptional. I suppose it was the ‘angst’ which made it so special. I thought it was worth the hours of tears and box of tissues. As I’m not huge on angst, I can only think that there must be a particular way Jewel E. Ann wrote it to render it palatable.

I’m so glad “A Place Without You” was my first read of 2019! Any books I read for the remainder of the year will have a tough time measuring up.
If you have read Jewel E Ann’s books before you’ll know her stories just keep getting better and better.
I could not put this book down. The settings and characters are amazing.
This story will have you smiling, laughing and crying. There are parts of the story that are so emotional but by the end your heart will be put back together. Bodhi and Henna have a truly amazing journey.
