On the Mountain

By: Riley Hart

Narrated by: Zane Daniels

One feels he’s not worthy of love. The other fears he doesn't know how. But the sizzling chemistry between them has both tempted to explore the unknown.

Cyrus

I was intrigued by Crow at first glance. Who wouldn't be? He's a mountain of a man, who was raised in a cult, and now lives secluded in the wilderness. But the draw I feel to him goes beyond mild interest. When his intense gaze falls my way it feels like he can see into my soul, to my deepest yearnings and desires.

I took a bold chance venturing to his mountain uninvited. But I can't help myself. Despite Crow’s dangerous facade, I feel at home when I’m near him. I've never felt wanted or needed… until the mountain man took me in his arms.

Crow

The mountain is my home, the only place that truly suits me. I reveled in my solitude... until Cyrus showed up looking as lonely as I felt. The warmth in his gaze made me welcome someone into my home and my heart for the very first time.

The way he smells. The way he feels. I come apart with his every touch. The past haunts us both. Yet when we’re together the weight of them is more manageable. Cyrus is mine and I don’t ever want to let him go. Still, I fear eventually he’ll want to leave the mountain... and for the first time in my life, I don’t want to be alone.

Beautiful love story

Narrator was wonderful. The story was moving and lovely. Everything flowed together well and kept me wanting more for them.

heading love

I loved the character development as well as the depth of character. I would've liked to see a bit more out of Crow. some of the sex was strange for me, it was a distraction, but not so much that it ruined the book. it was uniquely them. I loved that they found each other on this great big world, when they were also so very isolated in their own ways. this is one of the better MM books available. I would recommend this as a good read.

I love mountain men

Another solid entertaining story from Riley. I love the possessive trope and this one sure fits the bill.

Masterpiece of Heart and Healing

Riley Hart has penned not just a novel but a journey—a profound exploration of love, healing, and the indomitable human spirit. From the moment I turned the first page, I was transported into a world where the rawness of pain meets the soft balm of love in the most unexpected places.

The story telling in this book is unparalleled, weaving a narrative that is as breathtaking in its emotional depth as it is in its stunning portrayal of vulnerability and strength. The characters are not merely characters; they are mirrors reflecting the complex, often messy reality of confronting and overcoming one's past. With each chapter, I seriously found pieces of myself, my fears, and my hopes reflected in the struggles and triumphs of these beautifully flawed individuals.

This book is a testament to the power of love—romantic, yes, but also the love of self that emerges from the darkest of our shadows. "On the Mountain" tackles themes of mental health, substance abuse, and the scars left by trauma with such grace and sensitivity that it's impossible not to be moved.

Riley Hart has outdone herself with this novel, solidifying her place as a titan of LGBTQ+ romance. It is, without a doubt, one of her best works to date. I finished this book feeling a little more understood, a little less alone, and infinitely grateful for the experience it provided.

To anyone standing on the edge, wondering if this book is for them—take the step, immerse yourself in this story. You will not regret this masterpiece of depth and internal beauty, and for those looking for spice – let’s just say you’ll need a cold beverage and a fan pointing at you because the steam will melt your book/audio device. Zane Daniels has quickly become one of my favorite narrators, and he did such an outstanding job bringing this story to life – his emotional range is perfect. Five stars for an unforgettable tale that will linger in your heart long after the final page is turned.

Riverting

The author explores the stigma around mental illness and PTSD she does it brilliantly. The characters are complex, layered and beaten down by time and experiences. Nonetheless, they find solace and rejuvenation in each other and that’s the story.

The characters.

I love Riley Hart, she has such a amazing way for creating a strong bond between characters in a short amount of time that doesn’t feel rushed or forced. This was such a great book. She does a good job highlighting the struggles of mental health illness in both MCs and the spicy scenes are 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. Overall everything I needed in a book and I’m so glad I bought it.
