Review for Grace For Drowning by Maya CrossGrace For Drowning is an emotionally charged story that will grab you by the throat and gut punch you. Maya Cross does a fantastic job of developing her characters and their relationships, there is so much attention to detail and tension built up that by the time the characters take the plunge it’s explosive.Grace is barely holding it together. She moved to Vegas with her fiancé and a dream for what their future held, until Tom killed himself. Nothing would ever be the same for Grace, unable to deal with the pain of her loss she found solace at the bottom of a bottle. After losing her job, she takes a bar tending job at Charlie’s where life takes a turn — again.Logan is a fighter. War changes a person and when you spend your days fighting for life, freedom, or whatever there is to fight over you become accustomed to that rush. You crave it. Need it. Logan’s life was spiraling out of control when Charlie took him in, gave him a job and made him a fighter in his club.“On the personal baggage scale, that answer sits somewhere between ‘unhealthy’ and ‘this dude is a g.d. psychopath’.”There is so much going on with Grace and Logan’s backstories that I found myself lost in their pain. Honestly, with the stuff they survived, it was a miracle either of them still tried. The stubborn way Logan tried to help Grace was almost comical at times; I love how he never gave up on helping her. Then we have Grace; she so willing accepted all of Logan and his challenges. Logan suffers from PTSD and because of that he has moments that can make loving him a challenge, but at every obstacle that most women would have ran from, Grace climbed it and came out on the other side proving that Logan was worth the work.Maya Cross did a phenomenal job of portraying the realities of PTSD, alcoholism, and self-medication. It was painful in it’s accuracy. Grace for Drowning took me through the entire range of emotions from laughing out loud, to raging, and then ugly crying.“I’m not done with you yet, Grace. I’ll never be done with you.”Grace for Drowning gets FIVE stars, it’s a full on roller coaster ride that you’ll never want to end and FOUR drenched panties for smut factor. A certified Mommy’s a Book Whore must read now!Review by the Head Whore.
