Book Description

June 2002
What was it about Sage Bristo that drew women to her? Maybe it was the tall, toned body and androgynous good looks. Perhaps they liked her confidence -- her movements and manner so sure and decisive. Or was it the air of mystery, the temptation of a challenge to unravel? Sage couldn't explain the attraction, but she had certainly benefited from it, at least physically. Women would do anything for her. But never the woman she needed the most -- the one woman who could lead her through the realm of desire, to the one thing she desires most. . .In this Revised Author's Edition of Legacy of Love, Marianne K. Martin tells us the complete story of Sage Bristo and the mystery that surrounds her.

Legacy of Love delves nicely into the tension between desire and connection, highlighting trust as the essence of intimacy. -- Lisa Shapiro, The Lesbian Review of Books

Mirrors is a very fine novel, well worth your time and treasure. -- Deborah Peifer, The Bay Area Reporter

The romance is based as much on trust and intelligence and shared sensitivities as it is on lust... -- Sandra Richards, The Wishing Well

This is undoubtedly one of the finest...The sparring between Bristo and Deanne alone makes it worth reading. -- Ravigo Zomana, Our Own Community Press

5.0 out of 5 stars SEXY, SEXY, SEXY!!!, August 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Legacy of Love (Paperback)
I'm looking for Sage Bristo!!!! I'm spoiled now. I am wishing I had a woman who would talk to me like that! Realistically, when I feel the need I guess I'll have to read Legacy again. First, though, I'm waiting impatiently to get my hands on the sequel Never Ending.

But to say only that Legacy of Love and the main character is sexy doesn't do the author justice. Marianne Martin is a fine writer and this book I hesitate to call merely a romance. Martin moves her readers quickly through a gamut of emotions with bright dialogue and just the right amount of tension. She has a writing style that keeps you reading hungrily and characters you won't forget.

I am about to devour her other two books, Love in the Balance and Dawn of the Dance, while I'm waiting. Marianne Martin is now at the top of my 'must read' list.

5.0 out of 5 stars AT LAST, March 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Legacy of Love (Paperback)
Yes, finally! A main character that's all of that-succesful, lesbian, and Native American! And not only that. She is developed in a wonderfully well-written tale of love. As a Native American I have suffered for years without a heroine I can claim. Martin has written me a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Judge a Book By Its Cover..., August 8, 2005
By 
K. Johnson (Twin Cities, MN) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Legacy of Love (Paperback)
Sage Bristo's grandmother recently died and left her a good sum of money. However, her homophobic father kept the will tied up in court, trying to discredit her grandmother and keep the money for himself. A final decision from the judge lets the will stand. Sage uses the money to establish a trust fund for Seneca girls and to build a retirement community in Michigan in memory of her NaNan.

Sage already has a reputation as a "Don Juanita" among her friends in New York. The rep follows her when she moves to Michigan and she does little to dispell it. One night, a few months after she moves in, she meets Deanne. Sage is immediately attracted to Deanne and repeatedly tries to get a date. Their friends also think they would make an attractive couple. However, Deanne knows Sage's reputation and isn't willing to get involved.

Through a series of events things finally work out, and both women do a lot of maturing as their love does the same. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down. In fact, I started it when my plane took off, was almost done when we landed three hours later, and sat in the airport to finish.

The characters have depth, the story is plausible, and women like this do exist. I'm looking for the sequel 'Never Ending,' but will probably have to wait until it is re-released in Feb-06. Until then... I have other Martin books to read. This one doesn't disappoint.
