Customer Reviews

I loved it!!!

Marcus found his dream woman when he met Vera, but she was already taken. Fate stepped in and Marcus got his chance to claim the heart of the one woman who always held his. Vera couldn't ask for a better friend than Marcus but little did she know that the man she loved as a best friend and brother would actually become the love of her life. I absolutely LOVED Vera. Marcus is the epitome of a Devereaux man. Together, they are amazing!

Kudos to Ms. Schuster

This is less of a review and more of a thank you to Ms. Schuster for yet another wonderful story! I've avoided reading romance novels for years because the story lines and situations have always seemed so far fetched. I've truly enjoyed reading about such "real" characters as the Cochrans and Deveraux's, and the colorful cast of friends and acquaintances that add flavor to an already strong story.

Love Was There All The Time

Melanie Schuster has produced another "red-eye special"! You know, one of those novels that make you stay up `til the wee hours of the morning trying to finish "just one more chapter." I am definitely hooked on this author's writing style and with this latest novel she gives her readers a truly heartwarming story.In Let It Be ME Ms. Schuster takes us back to visit that magnificent Deveraux Clan. This time it's the avowed playa Marcus Deveraux who gets knocked off his feet by his love for Vera Jackson. After years of being best friends, Marcus and Vera slowly come to terms with the fact that their love for each other was there all the time.As always Ms. Schuster's fresh writing style helps to thoroughly captivate the reader. She places her characters in real life situations and presents well developed main and secondary characters. I can hardly wait to read her next offering!

Meant to be...

After the death of her husband, Vera Jackson is determined to live the rest of her life to the fullest, and this does not include falling in love again. Marcus Devereaux, the CEO of a major corporation, and Vera's best friend, has been in love with Vera since he first laid eyes on her. He doesn't acknowledge those feelings, though, until they are pointed out to him by none other than his girlfriend, who observes how he looks at her and how many times he mentions her name. After a bit of soul searching, Marcus declares his feelings for Vera, but she refuses to believe him. In fact, due to problems in her first marriage, and her feelings of inadequacy, Vera does everything she can to discourage him. Marcus is persistent, though, and finally breaks down Vera's wall of resistance. Just when the relationship seems to be on the road to happily ever after, a secret from Marcus' past threatens their newfound love. Will this secret destroy a love that was meant to be, or will the couple stand strong in the face of adversity? LET IT BE ME is a very poignant, beautifully written love story. Being the incurable romantic that I am, I found myself thoroughly captivated with this novel, and hated to see it end. I eagerly anticipate all future works from this very gifted author.

Vera and Marcus sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!

Marcus Deveraux had been in love with Vera Jackson since he was 18 and she was 28. But Vera was married to John Jackson, a pro-football player. John was not faithful to her, and his caustic comments made her feel less than a woman, but Vera stuck it out. Then, John got killed in a tragic plane crash and Vera, now a widow, continued to castigate herself with thoughts of being frigid, etc. All because of her mentally abusive marriage. Vera had a lot of pain to get through. But Marcus, being the youngest Deveraux brother and possibly the most determined vowed to break through her resolve. Vera had all kinds of reasons why they shouldn't be together, and Marcus had all kinds of reasons why they SHOULD. It was so much fun reading about the ways he wooed her. What woman wouldn't melt under that kind of attention? Ms. Schuster gets better and better with each book in this series. I cannot wait for the next book which is about Angelique and Adonis (what a name!). This book is steamy and quite impossible to put down, so read it when you've got a large block of free time!
