I thought it was an AMAZING read and it SUCKED me in BIG TIME!This story revolves around some very dark issues for both the hero, Logan, and the heroine, Grace. The effects that these circumstances had on them caused them to drink themselves into oblivion. I TOTALLY GOT IT, and was able to relate to both Logan and Grace's addiction, being a reformed drug addict myself. I think Maya Cross did an excellent and realistic take of both hero and heroine and their issues with alcoholism.Logan and Grace were PERFECT for each other. Neither one gave up when the other one needed them most and that was spectacular to read.They took their time getting to know one another and once they did, they shared their dark secrets. They laid them out bare and raw and never once judged each other. They COMPLETELY understood each other, and for me that was a HUGE reason why this book made me feel the way I did. I really got to know these two characters, I felt like they were my friends. I found myself wishing I could be there to help and comfort them. I connected emotionally on so levels.When their walls came tumbling down, they took the next step and became intimate. The love/sex scenes were EXTREMELY HOT AND EXPLOSIVE! With each encounter their bond grew stronger. I could feel their love growing and along with it, their lives beginning to renew.Of course, with any romance book, there are ups and downs which keeps the story flowing. This was not an easy relationship for the main characters; they really had to work on it. They made many mistakes, but in the end they worked through it all and were together. I also want to say that even though there is a sequel to this book, Grace for Drowning does NOT end with a cliffhanger.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Grace for Drowning to ALL romance readers who LOVE a DARK, EMOTIONAL, STEAMY and EXTREMELY well written book. Maya Cross you outdid yourself with this one!
