Wow! That's about all I could get out when I finished this book. Mutual Release was an emotional roller coaster I wouldn't mind riding again and again. It really is a "coming of age novel."  I think I experienced every single emotion known to man plus some while reading all about Evan and Julie's pasts. As I read, I literally got to watch each of them grow both on their own and then together. Seriously, I laughed, cried, and at times shouted (much to my husbands bewilderment) at both Evan and Julie.There are some very serious themes touched upon in this book though, and it is certainly not for the faint of heart. Covering topics from parental neglect and the BDSM scene to emotional abuse and rape, Mutual Release weaves these heavy topics in with the journey to finding, and ultimately holding on to, love with the one person who can truly understand and trust you. It really was a fascinating read.Mutual Release in the 7th book in the Stewart Realty series, but it can be read as a stand alone. I haven't read the rest of the series, and I never felt lost. I definitely plan to go back and read the rest of the series though, as some of the characters in Mutual Release are featured and even central to the rest of the series. If you haven't read any of the Stewart Realty series, I suggest checking out Mutual Release, it will certainly have you begging for more.*Thank you to Tri Destiny Publishing for providing this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.
