I Stand By You is an incredibly sweet and sensual contemporary romance. Darcy meets her dream man, when he comes into her boutique looking to buy the perfect birthday gift for his hard to shop for sister. When he has to cut his shopping short to meet with a client, Shane suggests that they can discuss the custom jewelery design for his sister's birthday over dinner. Quiet excited for a chance to get to know him better, Darcy immediately agrees. As she gets to know him Darcy is convinced more than ever that the sexy rakish Shane is her perfect dream man. Well, almost. His mother is the nightmare of mothers, the sort of woman who makes women walk the other way when it comes to her son. Darcy is desperate to make their relationship work, even if she had to deal with the wretched woman.In I Stand By You Sandra Ross beautifully brings to life a modern romance along with comically working in some very real problems that today's romances face, such as mother-in-laws from hell. Ross creates characters and situations that real women can relate to. The sex scenes are soft and sensual, but make you want to beg for more. The only thing I wish was different about the story is Shane's hair. Darcy says it was a little longer than most men keep it, but if it had been longer than shoulder length I would have loved him even more, since I love men with long hair.
