*Review copy received from the author for an honest review*It’s been a long time since I read a story about a fighter, so when I was asked to read Grace For Drowning, I thought sure!! I am always ready to break out of my norm and read something different. And yeah, Logan is a fighter and he is HOT HOT HOT, but to me, this story is about so much more than that. This story is about hope and healing.“You need me, Logan, and I need you. Together, we can beat this.”Logan and Grace are both so broken!!! And this is their story of how they try their darndest to help one another. Two broken people trying to fix the other…I gotta say, at first I was thinking, they are doomed!! Both were carrying way too much baggage to make it. And then, I was still sweating it at the end ;)“I didn’t want to be that person, but I didn’t know how to stop.”But, it’s not all doom and gloom throughout the whole story. Even though this story talks about some very serious subjects, the author did a great job of mixing up the emotions. I laughed. I laughed a lot!!! I was sad. And I was swooning. Logan is an amazing person. He has that tough and scary exterior, but underneath he was full of sweetness. It broke my heart to read about his demons.“Putting two people with our issues together was a ****ing powder keg.”And Grace, Grace is a tiny little spit fire at times. She easily could take care of herself once she got her life on track, and she was perfect for Logan because she understood what he was feeling (or at least tried her hardest to understand it all). I loved that she was so determined, or actually that that they were both so determined.  Part of what made me enjoy this story so much was that it wasn’t a Logan and Grace pity party…they were trying their best.“We were two broken halves making something that vaguely resembled a whole.”Overall, I very much enjoyed this story. It was told in dual POVs and I think that helped me connect better with each character. I loved being in their heads. You can better understand what they were feeling. This was my first book by Maya Cross and I will definitely pick up more of her books in the future :) 
