In this REVISED AND UPDATED version of her 1994 hardcover, Joyce Bova has written an additional chapter, which most revealingly chronicles her personal life before and after Elvis. She also discusses the Presley/Nixon meeting and reiterates the real reason behind Elvis’s visit to Washington, D.C. Additionally, there are dozens of digitally enhanced color photographs. Many of them are new and were not in the original book, along with some that were. She has added a postscript divulging some events she neglected to include in the hardcover, as well as a very touching P.P.S.

Joyce is an identical twin. Elvis was born an identical twin. Joyce shares her innermost thoughts, and Elvis’s, about his conflicts in coping with the absence of his twin and how severely it impacted his life.

It started out like a fairy tale. She was a beautiful, hardworking Congressional aide. He was America’s most explosive entertainer. They met one night in Las Vegas in 1969…a night that changed Joyce’s life forever.

Now Joyce reveals all about her love affair with Elvis Presley. From the glittering public stages of Las Vegas to Elvis’s Graceland palace…glamorous celebrity parties to steamy hotel room trysts…from Joyce’s pregnancy with Elvis’s child to her agonizing decision to finally walk out on the “King.” DON’T ASK FOREVER is the intimate true story of two star-crossed lovers—and a revealing portrait of an Elvis Presley you’ve never seen before…and will never see again.

Joyce Bova worked for the U.S. House of Representatives for thirty years, serving mostly on the staff of the Armed Services Committee. In addition, she is an award-winning ballroom dancer who still performs and teaches dance with her husband, and occasionally with her twin sister. She now lives in Northern Virginia with her husband.

William Conrad Nowels is a novelist and screenwriter, as well as the author of articles on American politics and culture for the Baltimore Evening Sun. He lives in New York City.

Don't Ask Forever My Love Affair With Elvis eBook Joyce Bova William Conrad Nowels

Really brings back an entire Era of history for me. The pictures are fabulous and the story really interesting. I knew several of the main characters quite well personally, so all the facts in the book ring completely true. When E came to Washington, D. C. and met with Nixon, he came expressly for the purpose of seeing Joyce. - I think the Nixon meeting was a happy afterthought! Meeting Elvis was an unbelievable thrill. He was and always will be, an American Legend! But so down to earth and kind. And so is the book's author, Joyce. She and her twin, Janice, are two of the most genuine and kind people I have ever known; (also two of the most gorgeous women God ever put on this earth - Not so amazing that Elvis was entranced and flew to D.C. so often to see Joyce!) What is amazing is that she somehow is still as beautiful today as she was in the 1960's and 70's when she caused a sensation on my college campus by visiting! Most of the time, the twins got as much attention as Elvis!

Don't Ask Forever My Love Affair With Elvis eBook Joyce Bova William Conrad Nowels Reviews


Sad moving account of Elvis' life behind closed doors. Joyce puts you in the room and shares her life and inner conversations with the man we all love. Elvis was always searching for life's meanings because part of his life died when he lost his reason for his success. In disguise, He turned to drugs to hide his pain, thinking he could find answers to life. A tortured beautiful soul.
I never got the sense that this story was completely true. It showed a pretty disappointing version of the Elvis Presley story. I would have liked to have heard more about the music, and less about what, to me, was a pretty crummy life. Don't get me wrong, it was interesting, but not very uplifting.
I'll Bite. This autobiography enveloping Elvis is just saucy enough to make you want more. it is a readable book about E because, unlike 95% of the rest of the hundreds at , it is written by a first person associate who was with him. That means you get new information, instead of reheated hash. In the other book 'Elvis' Humor Girls, Guns and Guitars' it's the same thing mentioned, that you must go to the people who knew him to get new and inside information about the King of Rock n Roll in the horizontal position.
Reading Elvisologist Allana Nash's recent book on the women who loved Elvis (BABY LET'S PLAY HOUSE), I became interested in Nash's account of Elvis's love affair with Joyce Bova, a Washington DC woman of whom I had never before heard. Nash provides quite a lengthy synopsis of the major events in this hush hush top secret romance, and I liked what I saw, so I bought I used copy of Bova's own memoir and dove right in. In a way, this turned out to be a mistake, since Nash had definitely given the highlights, but in eight pages instead of the 386 pages in the Bova book. But all I can say is, if this is how you like it, it's served up well in DON'T ASK FOREVER.

Nash had it right, Joyce was a pretty girl all right, but what cinched it for her with Elvis was the fact that she had a twin sister. We all know that the death of little Jesse was the central event in Elvis' life, and Joyce met him at a time ripe with spiritual renewal for Elvis, right at the time when he was beginning to fantasize of himself as a religious leader born to bring comfort and healing to billions. The twin thing, like a ribbon of celluloid film, somehow played in and out of the Jungian fantasies preoccupying him the early 1970s. He was one of twins, as was she maybe they were meant to be together. In addition she was the twin, or nearly so, of his wife Priscilla, with whom he was still living an empty lie (or so says Bova). In fact when they went out together, fans always hurt Joyce's feelings by mistaking her for Priscilla and pestering her for autographs.

Twin-ness also haunts the book in terms of the Bobbie Gentry mystery. The charismatic country singer and songwriter was an acquaintance of Elvis at just this period, and now it turns out, that nearly every photo hitherto thought of to be picturing Elvis and Bobbie Gentry is, in actuality, a photo of Elvis and Joyce, who had to keep her love life a secret from the probing eyes of Capitol Hill, where she worked for the Armed Services Committee for the House of Representatives. We never do hear too much about her job, but Elvis had no compunction about calling Nixon and asking of Joyce could take a few days off here or there to visit him in Graceland or in Vegas.)

She soon became addicted to heavy drugs, under Elvis' tutelage. He particularly favored nembutal-like dolls when embarking on a bout of lovemaking, drugs so strong they put Joyce in a twilight sleep, barely able to tell where she was or where her body ended. This part of the book was the most compelling. Also we do get some glimpses into Elvis at the recording studio, especially during the making of the 1070 Christmas album. We see him leafing through dozens of demos, and Joyce is credited with persuading the King to record "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," which became "their song," and which she was always pleading with him to sing to her alone in concert.

Joyce got to meet most of the insiders in Elvis Presley's life, even being awarded an audience with the spooky, old, weird "Dodger" (Elvis' grandma Minnie.) Dodger is just plain obsessed. "A woman should have plenty of children. Then maybe you get lucky and one of 'em turns out good. I had five. None of 'em turned out too good, 'cept Vervon... cause he made Elvis." Elvis had fond memories of Ann-Margret (not the tortured ones other biographers would have us believe in) and not so fond ones of current co-star Mary Tyler Moore. Elvis had specialty shoppers on call who would bring literally dozens of pairs of shoes and boots at a time to his home, to let the King shop in peace. In one touching scene, Joyce points Elvis towards a pair of tan boots he might otherwise have rejected. She was important to him in little things, but as he always told her, don't ask forever,
Joyce Bova seemed sincere in her representation of Elvis. She knew she was hooked on Placidyl and endeavored to do something about it. She was a smart woman whose career was very important to her. Elvis was not going to stick with her forever" and she knew that. Her leaving Elvis was difficult but ultimately the best thing for her. She seems to find happiness with her current man. I 'm happy she is happy today with her memories of Elvis but with a real man by her side that she doesn't have to share with the multitudes. I do wonder if her twin found happiness after her failed marriage.
I am only half through this book, but have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I read somewhere else (maybe the Australian fan site) in an interview Joyce Bova gave she says the "real" reason Elvis flew to Washington, DC. I believe her, but it seems this "fact" is ignored because evidently people think Elvis flying to see President Nixon is more interesting and, of course, makes more money. Over the years, I haven't read much about Elvis Washington, DC visit, but mostly just saw pictures pop up various places. In my opinion, it makes sense that they had an argument and Elvis flew to see her!! It's very normal to want to see someone you are in love with after an argument! I have gone through similar things. I think Elvis was in love and Joyce at this time was far away from him. He wanted to see her !! I would recommend this book, and I don't usually read books about Elvis except relating to his spiritual side and sometimes short books written by his fans from the 1950's.
Really brings back an entire Era of history for me. The pictures are fabulous and the story really interesting. I knew several of the main characters quite well personally, so all the facts in the book ring completely true. When E came to Washington, D. C. and met with Nixon, he came expressly for the purpose of seeing Joyce. - I think the Nixon meeting was a happy afterthought! Meeting Elvis was an unbelievable thrill.
