Book Review: Released by Jessica Buss

                                      I have chosen Released by Jessica Buss to review. 



I picked this e-book from the selection of Kindle Unlimited books.

---------------------------------------------------
Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Secrets have a way of revealing themselves. Sometimes they lead to heartache, but other times they surprise you and give you everything you need.

Edgar is the youngest in a generations-old crabbing family. He’s always known who and what he’d grow up to be. Until everything changes.
From the moment he picks up a welding torch, he knows his life will never be the same. Curiosity about what he can create leads him down the road to producing something truly magical. But how does he tell his family where his heart lies? And what happens when, because of his secret art, he meets an incredible woman who entices him in every way?

Simone, a sought-after art curator from New York City, has spent most of her adult life building connections and establishing an impressive reputation. Unexpectedly, she’s introduced to a new artist whose work stirs up intense emotions within her.
He wants to remain anonymous, but she needs to know more about this mystery man. She travels to his hometown of Kodiak, Alaska, to see what inspires his extraordinary art. While there, she meets a crab fisherman who captivates her, leaving her tied up in knots. The connection they share is intense and life-changing, much like the works of the secretive artist. Only, she can’t answer why. Nor can she figure out what, if anything, happens next with the small-town crabber. Because getting involved with a younger man who lives on the other side of the country seems impractical and foolish.

But could they make it work if all their secrets and fears were released?
