I can't believe there aren't a lot of recommendations for this story. Don't let the title throw you off, it is actually a very sweet and romantic story so please take out some time to read this...its actually very good!!! =] - Anonymous - Sep-12-2009   

This was a very entertaining story that takes you on a roller coaster ride of romance between two soulmates that are meant to be together. A well done tale. Read it. - uber goober - Dec-05-2009   

Great story. A must read! - MK - Mar-11-2010   

This series was wonderful. I almost didn't read it because of the title but once I started I could not put it down. I must say that there were points where I wanted to crack some heads though - stubborn, blind woman can drive me to distraction. All's well that ends well - it just takes time. - x/g fanfic fanatic - Jun-15-2010   

For the longest time I skipped this story because the title did not particularly appeal to me. But this is an awesome read. I am so glad I finally decided to give it a try. This is a very beautifully written story. An Alex Tryst classic! - N - Jun-21-2011   

Wow I didnt know what to expect when I first read the title but the other comments mind me wonder lol. I loved it keep'em coming Alex

I would just like to say that this was one of the best pieces of fiction I've read in a while. I was fascinated by the different subsets of the story and the development of the characters. By the time I finished reading, I was so involved that I didn't realize it ended, sitting there wondering "what happens?" (for two days I might add). I definitely look forward to a sequel. - Merlin - Jan 6th, 2003   

Yeah, I'd really apreciate a sequel to this fine story- I hope the author doesnt let us hanging here for much time. - reverse_ip - Mar 8th, 2003

I can't believe there weren't screams for a sequel that reached the writer's ear! I love the characters, especially love the dad. This was written so responsibly; it covered all the bases...safe sex, love, pregnancy, marriage. This story is the perfect example of love between two people that creates such a bond that nothing can come between them. Please, this is a painting left unfinished, a masterpiece, please write a sequel. It's a great story! Lots of angst, which I'm not ever a fan of, but the end was so endearing. This story should not have been abandoned. Many thanks to the writer, though for sharing this story. I think it's beautiful. - Teresa - Oct-14-2008

This is one of my favorite lesbian romances of all time. I believe it needs a sequel, there are so many unanswered questions that boggles the mind. Great writing by the author!!!! I really want a sequel but considering this story was written when I was 2 years old, I don't think a sequel is in the near future. - Julie - May-06-2014   

"Love in Photographs" was my favorite story from this author, but now I have a new one! I absolutely adored the way the new characters were blended with the ones from "Love in Photographs". Readers get a chance to see new relationships develop while enjoying some old favorites! A must read for any fan of Alex Tryst! She's right though in her disclaimer in my opinion. Would be best enjoyed after reading "Love in Photographs" first. - Anonymous - Mar 5th, 2003   

Ms. Tryst seems to get better with every story. This is a pretty good read with a chance to see Torrance (drool) from "Love in Photographs" again. The strip club scene's "climatic" end makes this story worth the price of admittance. - Kaye - Mar 6th, 2003   

I just read this the other night. After reading Love in Photographs..I just had to read this one. It left you wanting more hanging on the edge of a cliff wanting to hear more about Georgia and Blake. After Blake is hurt and Torrance takes her picture...that really touched me. Great job to the author on another awesome tale. I hope to read more soon :) - Caden - Mar 9th, 2003   

I adored this piece! It was a super "unofficial" sequel to Love in Photographs. Great characters and a great story line! Good job on the southern accent as well. A must read. - Anonymous - Mar 31st, 2003   

Yet another fine story from a bard who just seems to get better and better as each tale unfolds. Love in photographs was my favourite story, until this little gem came along. Alex Tryst has certainly a talented way with words, love the way she develops a plot, throws some rather unexpected twists and turns to the reader, never mind the, will they, won't they in her stories. A fine piece of work, very skilled in its attempt to portray the southern accent, that I am glad to say works well. Cannot wait to read her new story, just posted - Stick to the Script. A Must Read. - Del - Jun 6th, 2003

" Love in Photographs" A great story once you start reading you won't want to stop! - Anonymous - Dec 23rd, 2002   

IMO this is one of the author's best works. Some of her other stories give a definite uneasiness (enough to where I skip to the part where the child-woman is finally of legal age) with their may/pre-december themes. With "Love In Photographs" Ms. Tryst has perfected her love of the older woman/younger woman genre, especially since this younger character isn't a high school, sapphic, Lolita. ;) There's also a part that deals with 9-11 but the author is kind enough to forewarn her readers. Great story. - Kaye - Jan 2nd, 2003   

It is my opinion that this is absolutely the best piece from this author to date. The relationship between the main characters as well as the subplots and secondary relationships are well-developed. Torrance Whitfield is an excellent character sketch. You can tell this character is full of compassion and love, making her truly liekable even when her flaws are brought to light. As for the other main character, Helen, she is sophisticated and open. From the moment these two come together, you can tell something is going to happen, and the rollercoaster ride is fabulous. In addition September 11, 2001 is dealt with in a sensitive manner. The passage is emotional and trying on the characters, but the way it was written was well-constructed, and I give kudos to the author for taking on the challenge. If you read only one piece by Alex Tryst, this is the one you should read. - Anonymous - Jan 3rd, 2003   

Oops! I apologize, I didn't know my comments were spoilers. Is there a way for you to place them under that category (and also delete this message)? Thanks and if I write anything else on your website I'll know for the next time. ;) - Kaye - Jan 3rd, 2003

nice story.. reminded me of a tv show of an author writing about his childhood in the 60's and the love he had experienced for the-girl-next-door.. don't remember how that show was called, though.. - xtra dog - Nov-17-2011   

This book is alluring within the scope of fiction and yet potentially perverse in terms of reality. The author not only "borrows" the name of one of the characters from Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita", she seems to have "borrowed" the story as well. However unlike the classic novel, it is difficult as best to find fault with our older main character, Drew, who is such an ethical, caring person in all other facets of her life that it is hard to detest her for her choices throughout the piece. There is also a magnetism of the younger character, Lola, that captures you from almost the beginning. She is cunning and sensuous for a woman/child her age. I find that the anger and frustration people (and my own) may feel about this piece is not aimed at the book itself but rather their own reaction to it, because it tests the foundations of one's beliefs. What is right and what is wrong is not as clearly defined in this piece as some may like. It pushes the envelope so to speak, because in a way you want the main characters to find love in each other, and yet the idea of two people with such an age difference being in a relationship is tough to accept. This is a must read even if it merely to see an unusual and twisted plot unfold. - Anonymous - Jan 3rd, 2003   

I found this to be right up there with the best of the top stories. I liked that the writer didn't stay in what we consider normal range of writing and love. I found it refreshing to find love no matter the age difference. You will find this a good read if you will only open yourself up to the possibilities offered. - Claudia Henry - Jan 7th, 2003   

This was the first story I read by Alex Tryst, woo what a read.Love the twists and turns Alex weaves throughout all her stories - yep you guessed it since reading this one have read all her works, each and every one written in her very readable, entertaining style. Cannot wait for the next one. - Anonymous - May 23rd, 2003   

Alex just keeps on delivering the great love stories and this one is certainly no exception. Read it you'll like it. - uber goober - Jan-07-2010

Wow, this story is absolutely the best thing Ms. Tryst has written. This story has the perfect balence of plot, sensuality, and romance. please write a sequel. - Anonymous - Aug 25th, 2004   

this was such a great story to read. a sequel is needed for sure - Anonymous - Sep 11th, 2004   

A great read! Intelligent and thought provoking debates between the two main characters and a beautifully developed romance. Even though Alex Tryst's political intentions are obvious, you don't have to know a lot about the election to enjoy the adventure of two women looking for their soulmates. This book makes you believe in the power of love, love of family, love of friends, and the kind of love only to be found in that special person. And the part about Dara's nephew, Justin, well, all I can say is that it takes a strong person to reveal their personal trials to the world. Thank you, Alex, for allowing us to look into your real life for a brief moment and letting us learn more about a disease that affects so many. Job well done! - Anonymous - Sep 14th, 2004

This is a great read. It has just the right amount of twists and turns to keep you completely involved. - Dani - Dec-05-2008   

I just absolutely love Alex Tryst's stories. She has a great talent for drawing you in to the story and making you wish that they would never end. I just love a tale that leaves you feeling good after you read it and her's always do. - uber goober - Jan-12-2010   

well written, but really.. i was starting to feel frustrated by all the foiled attempts.. goes to show how much you can get involved with the characters of a story.. this story has real potential for a sequel.. what about shelby?? or the minion?? - xtra dog - Nov-18-2011

Great story xx - SD - Apr-24-2015   

The author warns us that this is a multi-hanky story but sorry, I didn't shed a single tear. The ending seems rushed and written more to get the story finished than to actually 'complete' the story. - Anonymous - Dec 29th, 2002   

A good concept with well written, believable characters up until the last part. I just couldn't see where the falling in love happened and how it was so strong as transcend barriers as we know them. Needs to be fleshed out more in that respect but it is still an enjoyable read. - Kay - Dec 31st, 2002   

This was a great piece. It was different from many things that I have read in the past, even from this author. She seems to push the limits with her more recent works, especially this one in which she alters the course of history. A fabulous, creative idea. Granted I can understand the frustration of some of the other commentators, but I believe that the end of the book is apt. Even though the author jumps forward in time, I think she does a good job wrapping up the book in as much as the story is back-filled with significant information. The book seemed to be about love after all, and I think it held true through it. For the princess, the love was obviously displayed and for Lara, it was more subtle. I think the author makes the assumption that readers can make the jump with her from the last chapter to the epilogue where even though it is not explicitly stated, the inference is there that Lara's love for Alexa continued to grow through the years even though not a lot of detail of this is given about that particular subject. To write out another half century would have been cumbersome in my opinion and unnecessary to the plot. Besides I think the love is displayed in other ways through the loved ones around at the end of the piece. This was a great effort to bring something new to the table, and it's an easy, fun read. Although I did cry in a few places. - Anonymous - Jan 2nd, 2003   

This story reminds me so muths of the LADY DIANA story..Can one find love after it is to late?What is the price of a crown? - Nemo - Feb 13th, 2003   

Awesome, another excellent story by a master bard. Once again Alex Tryst takes the reader on an exciting journey of love and heartache, never giving us a moment of peace, always pushing our perceptions to the limit - an unexpected ending, but so clever in its creative endeavour - woo, what a read. Be prepared to use a box of hankies - loved it. Cannot wait for her next story. - Anonymous - May 23rd, 2003   

THANK FOR A GREAT STORY..IT WAS SAD BUT TRUE..YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU HAD UNTIL YOU LOSTED IT.

Don't read or judge this story without reading the wonderful sequels. Combined with the sequels, this story is typical of Alex's outstanding, can't-put-it-down-until you get to the last page work.

Though I find it hard to believe that in the year that this is set it is still illegal to marry someone that is not noble. That makes for alot of inbreeding between them. Anyways it was a wonderful story as always. And as I did in the first one I cried. - Anonymous - Jun-10-2008

Love...tell me again what it is. What would you give up. I admit I hate people just dropping by or yelling, "pick up I know you're there" into my answering machine. My alone time is rare and precious so I understand Laurens need for control and privacy. Would I give it up for love? Serious thought needed here. Alexa's grandmother Lara was hesitant as was Lauren. I guess you really have to be born into the clap trap extravagant pomp and circumstance of royalty to understand. Great Sunday afternoon read. - Anonymous - Jun-15-2008

Ms. Tryst is an excellent wordsmith and doesn't disappoint with this story. Her penchant for may/pre-december characterizations notwithstanding, the author makes it work and moves her characters through a truly believable tale. A very good read. - Kaye - Jan 4th, 2003

This was a fabulous third edition to the series! I absolutely loved it! I especially enjoyed the addition of children to the mix. That was something new for Alex's books, and she did a wonderful job with capturing them accurately. There was also a new twist to her usual girl meets girl story line, which I will not divulge so it can be a surprise to readers, but I will say it truly makes Jamie a more believable character. The contrast between her physicality and her "real" personality is wonderful. As for Sarah, she was a great, strong woman. It was nice to see women who know what they want and go for it. A great book! A must read for fans of her work, and if you've never read Alex's stuff before, you should read this series. It's some of her best! - Anonymous - Jun 10th, 2003   

I read this story quite a while ago, not knowing it was part of a series. Rereading it in the series suggested order gave me new appreciation for this story and Alex Tryst's talent as an author. I am looking forward to reading all Alex's works. - jd - Jan-17-2007

This sequel to "Persistance" is just as captivating. Alex Tryst finds a way to wrench the readers heart right along with Lola's. Everything I have read by her pulls me right in, takes me on an adventure, makes me think about situations that are less common and always has plenty of amazing sex! She has become an author I read just by seeing her name. Thanks Alex for sharing your creations. - VTXSIP - Aug-10-2007

great work Alex. It shows a growing maturity in your writing, well done and please keep going.. this is very good literature. - soopi - Aug-07-2014   

I have enjoyed several of this author's stories, although with some reservations about the prevalent "Lolita" themes, so I thought I'd give this one a try. Unfortunately, I found myself loathing one character that turns out to be, weirdly enough, the protagonist. There's not a single character that I wanted to care about or respect in this story. I kept wondering if it were satirical, or if the main characters were going to go through some ironic shift, but that was not the case. - Anonymous - Jan 6th, 2003   

Having read all of this author's pieces, I can state fairly confidently that this is not one of her best works. However in speaking with her about it and coming to know the work's intent, if there really was any, I understand that this was one of her first ever completed stories. Ms. Tryst tries something different here, making a man one of two main characters, which is uncommon for her. It's my opinion that she falls short in the development of the piece compared to her other works. I think she should stick to what she knows, because she does a far better job with female characters than with male. Having said all that though, I don't think this piece should be totally dismissed. At the very least, reading this would show you where this author began, and reading something like Love in Photographs would show how far she has come. The first several pages of this seemed choppy and under developed, like it was a different piece, which the author confirmed to be true. She tries to transition into a completely different story line, not as well as she could have, but once into it things begin to flow better. I think there are some redeeming qualities about the book in as much as I did find both main characters likeable. I was somewhat enraged in the beginning at the injustice that appeared to be taking place, but by the end, I felt sympathy and compassion for the them as they had moved through many different relationship obstacles. Ms. Tryst throws a variety of taboo subjects into this work and for that I commmend her. She has made the effort to expand her boundaries and has put her characters through horrendous trials (all of which are clearly defined in the disclaimer and should be read ahead of time). An interesting and different read. - Anonymous - Jan 8th, 2003   

Although this story was different from Ms Tryst's others I really enjoyed it. The characters went through many trials and tribulations just like any normal couple would. It's nice to see a story out there that is true to life, not just happy happy, love love etc etc ad naseum. - Anonymous - Oct 27th, 2004   

***SPOILER ALERT*** i think it is really weird that the only comments posted for this story were all anonymous.. so i decided to break that cycle.. after having read the disclaimer, i had some doubts whether to read the story or not.. i have no problems whatsoever with reading about heterosexual couples and their sex lives.. i just found it weird seeing it installed on this site.. i'm guessing that is why so few people have commented or rated this story.. that being said however, here's my impression of the story.. i felt it lacked a certain something.. i couldn't quite get into it.. i could feel the love between the two main characters, but i felt the author kept changing their true essence throughout the story.. thus confusing me greatly and not really getting a feel for the characters.. furthermore, i felt the heaviest subjects (miscarriage, rape, racism, abuse) were all handled in an off handed kind of way with no follow ups during the rest of the story.. becca being told about her mother's wrong doings and how she reacted to it was begging for a continuation, as was david's divorce from laura, as was the slander campaign kristen initiated, etc.. the story has an unfinished and unedited feel to it, in my humble opinion.. - xtra dog - Nov-19-2011

WOW!!!!!!!!! I love this authour. the entire series was wonderful and it reached perfection with this last installment. the ending was a wonderful twist that brought tears to my eyes. to make you think one thing, and reveal the happy ending was genious! Alex tryst knws how to write a real story with believable characters that go through everyday problems and are flawed just like everyone else. She makes you care about these women and their familes and have you rooting for them to make it. love is eternal, and this series shows that with startling realism. Bravo! you are truly a gifted writer. - peaches - Aug 2nd, 2004

gladly accept this story in to my hart, to keep it with me in mind in good times and bad times, for it is truly special.I still sit here with the tears gleaming in my eyes and i cant tell if they are form joy or sadness,love or pleasure. What i do know is that I adore this story and the series it is part of.I can say that this series, this storys truly will move you. So if you are truly looking for something special to give you a good time with many turns but have a true hart this is the story you want.Alex has many Superb storys to pick, Alex has not let me down yet I have always had a good time reading here works. I not look forward to growing old and only reading all day long. - Sammylee - Oct 12th, 2004   

A great end to a wonderful journey. To come to know these characters and to feel as if they are your friends, it is bittersweet to be closing the door on their lives. However, Alex does it with the class and style that is uniquely her own. Thanks for the series. It was worth every moment. - Anonymous - Feb 1st, 2005   

This story is the best in the series....before you sit down to read this you might want to get a box of tissues, because it is a hell of a rollercoaster ride, I have to say I cried like a baby through most of this story, but Alex really brought the characters alive.....P.S DONT miss this work of Art :) - bxverse666 - Sep 1st, 2005
