struggling to get through this book. so far its based on a woman who just seems so 'meek' and and the guy just bland. My view might change when I eventually find the courage to suffer through it. It is a real pity because I love this writer. More intrigue please.

It was a read that I couldn't put down. Loved the interaction of the family, caring and concern element. Wonderful soulmate story that keeps hope alive - once committed love is true and honest. Excellent, excellent, excellent read. Great page turner I couldn't put it down.

The Power of Love Conquers All
15 Mar 2004
By The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Love at first sight is what famed actress, comedienne, and singer Ceylon Simmons felt the first time she laid eyes on Martin Deveraux. Five years later, after filming a movie for Martin's brother she collapses from exhaustion. Since her brother, acting as her manager, stole all her earnings, she has been working nonstop to pay back a debt owed to the federal government. Knowing of her struggles to pay the feds and her need for rest, Martin's brother and his wife offer Ceylon exclusive use of the Deveraux's vacation home located on St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia.
En route to confront his first wife about an abortion, Martin is involved in an automobile accident. The injuries sustained in the accident leave him wearing a patch over his left eye and a horrendous scar down his left cheek. A man scorned by his first wife's infidelity eight years ago, Martin is determined not to fall in love again.
Unaware of Ceylon's visit to the island, Martin shows up to install an outdoor shower for his mother and sister-in-law. After spending time alone with Ceylon, he soon discovers that she is the only woman for him. Although Ceylon sees his inner beauty, Martin does not want to expose her to the whispers and snickers he receives as a result of his facial disfiguring. So he sets out on a voyage to right every wrong that he and Ceylon have endured because of losses in their past.
In her third installment of the saga surrounding the Deveraux clan, Melanie Schuster dwelves into the lives of two people destined to find each other. It's a wonderful novel about true love, trust, and commitment.

Love Couldn�t Have Found A More Deserving Couple!
27 Aug 2003
By Brina D.
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
When I'd read about the brooding Martin Deveraux in Melanie Schuster's other novels my heart would absolutely break for him. You could tell in the previous novels that life (or love) had dealt him an unfair hand. It was easy to understand his need to isolate himself from family and friends.
On the other hand, saucy Ceylon Simmons made her debut in previous novels and made me LOL! I knew that any novel featuring these two would have Ceylon helping Martin to find his way back to love. What I didn't know is that Martin would do the exact same thing for Ceylon. They are both so deserving of love after the pain and tragedies they've endured. And when they do allow love to break through the walls they've erected, whew! This book SIZZLES!!!
With a writing style that's like a breath of fresh air, Melanie Schuster transports these two lovers - and the reader through a story that is thoroughly heartwarming. This should have been released in the winter. I would've loved curling up in front of a fire with "My One and Only Love" and a cup of Chai. Hmmm....guess I'll have to read it again.

Melanie Schuster, really outdid herself. It is my favorite book by her as of yet. I waited for this story for so long, she did a great job of whetting my appetite with references to their budding romance in "Until the End of Time". I immediately fell in love with Martin. He was so realistic. I loved the fact that Ceylon was so down-to-earth and saw the beauty in him, when others couldn't. Ceylon is the type of friend any girl would want -- SHE'S SO REAL! I have to agree with the lady from Brooklyn who mentioned the fact that the cover did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the storyline. It didn't go with it at all. That is a MAJOR PET PEEVE of mine as well. I like the fact that Arabesque is going to the artsy covers instead of the pictures. It's just too easy to judge a book on how cute the models are. On the other hand, it's nice to place a face to the characters you fall in love with. But if the picture looks NOTHING like the description, then it is just downright irritating.
