Ever since I found Liz Crowe books early last year, I can't get enough, and Mutual Release is her best work yet! Such an amazing ride, start to finish, will have you feeling many different emotions, which is what Liz books are great for! They really draw you in with their "realness" and the amazing characters keep you hooked! I loved reading the story of how Evan and Julie came to be, what they had to overcome as young adults that lead them to their adult lives. The KILLER epilogue,  has me anxiously waiting for House Rules, and Good Faith!!! Liz has has a way with her epilogues!This was the first ARC I've ever received, and it's now my favorite book, even surpassing Essence of Time. (Which is not an easy feat) It's an awesome stand alone, or fits perfectly into The Stewart Series as book #7! As a fan of Liz Crowe books like Floor Time, Sweat Equity, Closing Costs and Essence of Time, I was glad to see glimpses of some of the others from these books, such as Suzanne, Kyle,  and of course Jack Gordon. The dynamic of the friendship that he shares with Evan is great, and I know the readers that start with Mutual Release, will want to move onto Floor Time to get more from these amazingly crafted characters. If I hadn't met Jack first, I'd totally be Team Evan, but Jack stole my heart from the beginning. That being said, Evan is one amazing man, a disciplined Dom, that will melt your heart, and Julie, is a smart, Strong, confident, and successful woman, together they are soul mates!Thanks Liz Crowe and Beth-Ann Mason for the wonderful opportunity of receiving this ARC. A very HIGH 5 stars! Well done, it was an amazing journey, that I didn't want to end!  This is a MUST READ book! Be sure to also  check out her Romance for Real Life Group on Facebook, we have a great time chatting in there on all things, LIz!A few of my favorite quotes from the bookKyle to Jack "You make them that way, Gordon. They only freak-show crazy around you"Ok, I put this one is because Jack in my absolute book character!Julie to Evan "Yeah, my eyes are up here. But never mind. I'm used to being ogled, and by way more successful brewery owners than you."Evan to Julie " "So the things you need to know about me relative to this are," he held up fingers as he counted, "one. I like it rough. Two. I'm in control in the bedroom. I set the stage, I call the shots. You will have an orgasm-several of them, but only when I tell you too. Three. I don't share. You're mine. And four. You have to trust me. Completely. And that is going to be hard for you, I can tell.""You have no reason to ever be afraid with me, Julie. I will always take care of you. If you trust me. You think it's easy. But for a woman like you it may very well be impossible."
