I'll Stand By You: Springblood, Book 3
Aksel Nilsen and Anastacia Yeamans have known each other for years - well over a hundred, to be more specific. When they come together, anger turns to lust until they start to argue again. Since they met, their fights have only been rivaled by their passion, but something changed the last time they were forced to be around each other. Aksel and Stassi have started to realize just how much they appreciate the other, even when they’re not in the bedroom.
Through the years, Stassi has always known that Aksel is someone that she can count on, and Aksel has secretly looked forward to their encounters. However, there are forces at play that could very well put an end to the push and pull of their relationship and cut off the bud of romance before it has time to blossom.
Stassi’s unique abilities are coveted by a madman, and unfortunately, he’s got someone almost as powerful in his arsenal who seems to be gunning for her. When fate takes them full circle, back to the place they met, Stassi’s life and freedom will hang in the balance. Aksel will rescue her once more and then have to decide whether he’ll stay by her side or move on like he’s always done in the past.
Come with Cee Bowerman as she revisits Springblood and the unique individuals who hide in plain sight as they live and love among the rest of us mortals in the third book of the Springblood series.

All around this one was ok for me. I didn't get Stassi and Aksel as a couple. I didn't help that they had an antagonistic relationship where there was often hate sex. I'm glad that they were able to do what they did in this one, do away with the bad guys and give the kids a safe place to grow up, but I was also glad to be done with the book too.

A definite must read book and series
It took me a bit to figure out all of the characters, but it didn't take away from the story or how much I enjoyed it. To be honest, it had absolutely nothing to do with the story or the author, but with family tragedies that I've suffered from in this last week. I knew that if there was any book that could possibly help me escape my reality for a little bit, it would definitely be a book by one of my most favorite authors! And of course, it worked like a dream! (Thank you so very much Cee Bowerman!!)
This story was heartbreaking, tragic, emotionally charged, as well as loving, crazy, and absolutely hilarious. I truly love this series, as well as the unique characters, and all of the crazy that happens in their lives. I can't wait for more of this awesome series!
If you haven't already, you really need to read all of this author's books. There is a preferred reading guide in the beginning of each book. All of the series are absolutely fantastic, and you definitely won't be disappointed!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

I'll Stand by you is the Third book in the Spingblood Series. This is by far my favorite book in the series. Well So far LOL. I absolutely love the relationship and banter or almost constant arguing between Aksel and Stassi. For me their relationship is relatable. As with a lot of Cee's characters, there is always a healthy dose of relatable situations or characters which I love. We also get to see some great friendships, bonds and fierce loyalty between the characters and their friends. This makes the book all encompassing, not only do you get an amazing love story but an entire community of favorite characters. Just do yourself a solid and read this book and the series if you haven't already started it.

Aksel and Stassi's story is one for the ages. Like oil and gasoline, they are a volatile mix that has resulted in explosions through the years, both passionately and cataclysmically. Always managing to rub each other the wrong way, they can't be together long. Then Stassi steps in to help a friend and takes on his pain as her own. It seems to have triggered an internal shift that results in them both re-evaluating their relationship. As they forge themselves into a couple, they fight an ancient evil and makes plans for the future. Again, this is why I adore CB's books. We get a front row seat to not just a couple falling in love but building a life together. So emotionally satisfying, I finish each one with a big smile on my face, just like I did with this one!

Snark and sarcasm
I love a good story about enemies to lovers, but throw in snark and sarcasm and I'm hooked. Snark and sarcasm are the love language between my husband and myself.
This is the third Springblood book that I've read, and its my favorite so far.
I really liked the tie in with Dub and I'm hoping the clue that was dropped about the prophet leads to another story.
I also felt like there my be a connection between Lovey and Devon...maybe he's her...?
It was a great read and I've never been disappointed in Ms. Bowerman's writing.
Looking forward to more great reads!!

What a ride!
This book was so much fun... Curiouser and Curiouser!!
I loved how Ms Bowerman's mind works. I didn't think she could top all of her previous books, but she most spectacularly did.
The many different characters, their powers, how she incorporated characters and situations from prior stories... it all meshed into an awesome story ride!
Read this book, but please read All of the prior series. You definitely won't be disappointed!
Thank you, Cee for giving me joy thru your writing!

I really enjoyed this book.
I loved the back and forth, and that she knew it was her running away from commitment to start with and not him.
I really liked that even when they got together they still argued like crazy.
I enjoyed the relationship between all the friends and that they would do anything to protect each other.
This is definitely by far my favourite book of the series and I can't see that changing!
💯 MUST READ...
I cannot wait to see what Ms Cee will come up with next!

The banter between these two is absolutely hilarious,even when they eventually get together the banter and fiery arguments still happen. They have some obstacles to overcome but all the love,laughter and drama is all there. This third instalment of the series is awesome,highly recommend it to everyone, Cee knocked it out of the park with this one 🖤❤️

Each Cee book gets better and better
I adore Cee as an author she is my hero! You must read books 1 & 2 in the series before this one. Reality meets imagination and then some. I think Cee has cast an addiction spell on me and needs to write faster.. I advise buying her books as I do so once a series is complete I go back and read them in order 1 after the other. Dont forget to check the reading order combined with her interlocking series too.

Wonderful read!
Another wonderful book in this series. I'm coming to realize Drasil's evil just keeps popping up over hundreds of years and has no boundaries. Once again, love wins out over Drasils evil. Aksel and Stassi had loved each other for hundreds of years but didn't want to admit their feelings to each other. These two are hilarious, and the banter they have compliments each other so well. There's also a really nice surprise in this book.

I'll Stand by You
Cee Bowerman never ceases to surprise me. The Springblood series brings together several of Cee's book series. There is a thin line between love and hate. This couple has balanced that thin line for many years. Between vampires, shifters and witches this story had me cackling with the crazy antics. I can't wait for more from Cee and this amazing world she has created from her brilliant mind.

Fun visiting Springblood again
This was a cute book. It was fun to visit Springbools again. I enjoyed catching up with other characters from I’ve come to love from Cee’s other books. The main character dynamics are not the normal ones you see, and are a little more argumentative than what I like, but I did enjoy it. Although not my favorite book of Cee Bowerman’s I would still recommend it as a cute read. I hope you enjoy!

This book was funny, exciting and tense. Stassi and Aksel are definitely exciting when they get together then you add in all the fam ily and friends they both have and it makes it better. Seeing them realize they are falling in love and can’t go on without each other is great and exciting. Going back to the where it all started is a little emotional but still ends well for them and friends. Definitely needs to be added to your TBR list. Looking forward to more.

incredibly
Aksel and Stassi had A turbulent relationship for 100 years! They came together in passion, and separated in explosions that rocked their world. But alway there for each other when it mattered most. This book and its characters are beautiful and heartbreakingly amazing, and absolutely hilarious. I can’t wait to see what’s next in this world!

Even More Than I Expected
I loved Stassi and Aksel’s story. There were so many things that made this story remarkable. The character dynamics are engaging as always in Cee’s work. There’s suspense, romance, humor, chemistry, revelations I’d hope for and others that were unexpected, as well as a touch of revenge. This series just keeps getting better!

Wow, what a crazy funny love story. Almost makes you believe that vampires, witches and shifters I've among us. And they very well might! Aksel and Stassi have a crazy relationship that has gone on forever, it was good for them to finally take it to another level. Now with all the children, especially Emorette, things are gonna get interesting. Loved the book.

I really enjoyed being back in the Spring blood world, this story was another great one and had a couple of surprises that kept it interesting. Although it didn't quiet have the depth and emotion the first two did this was still a really easy and enjoyable read with some funny moments.

Fire and water really don't mix but Stassi and Sleep make it work. Well they have a strange way of doing it but its fun to watch. Taking kids and making them more just so you can have more power. Love this series, hope we get more from the supers in Spring blood and Mueru. On to the next adventure!💚💙😉

This is the third book in the series about the little town call Springblood written by Cee Bowerman. All of the characters from the first to have come together to assist with taking down evil.
This was such a fast read with hidden jokes, laughter and really great romantic scenes. I can't wait for more books in this series.

Love Book 3 in this series. The crossover characters add to it as well. Stassi and Aksel have the best banter back and forth. They keep each other on their toes that’s for sure.
