There's nothing more deadly in a Louisiana bayou than the wildlife thriving in the dark green water and unbearable heat - except a cold-blooded killer with a body to hide. There nothing more desperate than the witness to a murder - with but one option to keep her from a similar fate. Run far and fast and don't look back.

Another Excellent book by Sharon Sala
What did you love best about I'll Stand by You?
I loved the fact that it was a sweet, heartwarming story of two young people who have faced tough times and found love when they least expected it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of I'll Stand by You?
So many memorable moments in this book, hard to pick just one. Instead I will pick one of my favorite characters Johnny's youngest brother Beep. He is sweet and says so many funny and cute things.
What about Amy Rubinate’s performance did you like?
I thought she did a great job narrating the book, and I look forward to hearing other books read by her.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I got caught up in Johnny and Dori's story - it made me smile, it made me laugh and it did make me cry a little bit.
Any additional comments?
I LOVE Sharon Sala's books, she is an amazing writer. IMO if you love to read heartwarming stories set in a small, friendly town, full of Southern Gals, "gossip" and interesting characters then this book is for you!

Great Read
I’ll Stand By You (Blessings, Georgia #2) was another great read by Sharon Sala. Dori is a young sing mother and has had her share of hardships. She lives in a small-town and has felt the disapproval of many of the gossip filled people in town. She winds up losing everything in one night and must turn to those same gossip filled people. Ever since Johnny’s mother died, he has been raising his brothers. He and his brothers take care of Dori and her child, when the rest of the small town seemed to abandon them. I loved Dori and Johnny’s story and can’t wait to read more by Sharon Sala.

Wonderfully addictive story
This story was amazing I laughed and cried. There were times I wanted to strangle some of the characters. Johnnie and Dori have lived through a life time of pain in such a short amount of time, and yet they have found each other it was a beautiful story. Would love to see a spin off series of the boys grown up and what became of them and whether or not they had more babies.

Wasn’t too bad but HATED the ending
Where was the epilogue?? I enjoyed the story but I got confused with who we were talking about or as a few times.. I hated that we didn’t have an epilogue. I wanted to know how they are doing In The future.. that’s why we have epilogues to make me happy😝 but still it was a good story it just kind of made me wanting more.

One of the best books I've read in a long time!
This story catches your heart from the first. I enjoyed getting to know the primary characters and appreciated the way the author does not contrive drama, but rather tells a compelling story that comes to a satisfying end! I will definitely read the next in the series (at least the ending makes you think there's a "next" one!

The writing and characters were compelling and kept me turning pages. I enjoyed the multi-POV style of writing that is becoming more uncommon in romance books. Also, a nice audio performance in a 3rd person POV story.
