Eden is off-limits in every possible way—fifteen years too young, ambitious, and fiery as a dragon’s breath. She’s spent eight years silently wanting me, yet I’m the last man who should touch her. She deserves everything—love, desire, a life free from the wreckage of my past. But the moment she becomes my wife, even in name only, the pull between us becomes impossible to ignore. Her ex-fiancé is circling back, determined to reclaim her. But I won’t let that happen. I’m supposed to protect her, not want her for myself. Yet every look, every touch, tempts me to cross that line.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
Why would a middle-aged businessman who had never even spent the night outdoors, attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail? Bill Walker, a former commodities trader in Chicago and London, and an avid walker, had developed a virtual obsession to hike this historic 2,175 mile footpath in one hiking season. In the spring of 2005 he set off from his home state of Georgia, hoping to make it to Mount Katahdin in northern Maine before the arrival of winter.

Story
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

The music of Frank Sinatra, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, and many other artists provides the score to the reflections of a musician on the road in this memoir of Neil Peart's travels from Los Angeles to Big Bend National Park. The emotional associations and stories behind each album Peart plays guide his recollections of his childhood on Lake Ontario, the first bands that he performed with, and his travels with the band Rush. The evocative and resonant writing vividly captures the meanderings of a musical mind.

I loved this audiobook! As someone planning a trip to Southern California, it was exactly what I needed. The local insights and recommendations for hidden gems, scenic routes, and must-visit spots were so helpful. It’s well-organized, and the details about each county made it easy to plan my itinerary. I appreciated how it covered not just the popular attractions but also lesser-known places that added something special to my trip.
