| The writer has captured the voice of the south. What a delightful story!! A must read - Ginger - Apr-01-2006 So far this is a great story, thanks for the great work you do to keep us enterained. Write on! - a fan - May-09-2006 After reading Bali, I decided to read more of C.J. Harte. Living in the south, I find this a fantastic read. This should be a longer story - I want more - D.L. - Aug-09-2006 My goodness, this is such a southern story! I love the way Georgia babbles on, and the way Ashley figures out how to shut her up. Yes, we really do ramble, we really do tell stories, and to this day, my mother wants to know the family and background of all of my friends. What an utterly charming tale! - Kati - Sep-09-2006 Lovely and enchanting. - Me - Feb-29-2008 I loved this story and couldn't get enough of the main character. CJ Harte has captured many southern women I have met. More please!!!!!! - Windy - Mar-09-2008 A very funny read, highly recommended - Callisto - Mar-10-2008 Be prepaired to be charmed by this story of C.J. Harte - Callisto - Mar-10-2008 A famous author once wrote: "A Southerner never says in one word what he can possibly say in ten." Truer words were never spoken. And damn, if this story isn't so cute it could go out on a date. It's charming, ma'am, just charming. - jaeygatsby - Mar-11-2008 bleedig great - Anonymous - Mar-18-2008 This story is outstanding. I grinned and read and read some more. She truly captures the south. More please. What happens next? Think we can talk her into the next chapter? - Sarah - Mar-31-2008 What a delight! North meets South and is enchanted, in this lovely heartwarming story. Very funny too. - Georgia - May-18-2008 Nice story! And living in the South (in Macon btw...and I attended Macon State College) and knowing all about the talking and the drawl and the "ladyisms" (ladies don't sweat, they glisten) made this story even better. The only thing that irked me was the plural use of y'all. Not a Georgian thing; we use it in the singular sense. But that's all. Would read it again in a heartbeat. - Jennifer - May-20-2008 Living in the south, I loved this story. Even more this was a wonderful, funny and romantic story. - Lily - Feb-14-2009 Still one of my most favorites story that I return to time and again. It's absolutely charming. No profanity or m/f roles/intimacy. A safe read for a gay woman. Thank you, CJ Harte for this gem. - Teresa - May-15-2009 A very nice read...love the humor surrounding her chatty companion... - BlueButterfly - Aug-14-2009 ...can't help laughing, so funny! - easteden - Sep-08-2009 A wonderful story by a talented bard. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009 Wonderful, sweet, charming story that definitely needs a sequel! I would love to read more about these two!! - Anonymous - Oct-27-2009 Very cute story. I liked Georgia. She had wonderful charm. Very nice. - Lyn B - Mar-08-2011 |

| In 1975, the feminist movement was less than ten years old and had not yet reached the multitude of women whose lives it hoped to change. Women in many towns and/or in conservative churches fulfilled the expectations to marry and raise children. They went about their day to day lives refusing to recognize the nagging voice inside of them. This story is dedicated to those courageous women who listened to their hearts, ignored the prohibitions of their families, friends, and communities, and allowed love to honestly direct their paths. And to the real C and B - this one is for you. | |
| Wow, what a beaytful and touching story! CJ Harte does it again, don't miss this story. And definitely don't miss Dreams of Bali, one of the best long story out there! - Patricia - Aug-22-2006 This SHORT story is simple and nice to read.. I wish it would have been longer to read with their house full of kids..But C.J.Harte left us with a very nice ending that will leave you with a smile on your face and a tear in your eye. I have read your other stories and I too think you are a very good writer.. - carrie - Aug-25-2006 I found this story to be excellently written, and it brought back submerged memories of hearing Olivia Newton-John singing this tune on the radio, and having one of those "aha!" moments. I realized I'd fallen in love with a friend, but knew I would never have her in that way. Beautiful story, read and recommend to your friends. - Book Cat - Aug-26-2006 whenever i need a pick me up, i somehow find my way back to this story. actually to any of CJ Harte's stories. it's beautifully written and i highly recommend it. - carinjo - Feb-28-2008 A very nice and entertaining read - Callisto - Mar-02-2008 I have just discovered this wonderful writer. This is such a touching story. These women make me proud!!! - Sarah - Mar-31-2008 I discovered this author when I read her book Dreams of Bali and now I've discovered these wonderful stories. This is such a beautiful love story I almost hope it is a true story. - Lily - Feb-14-2009 Ohh, I love this story...the quiet reflection, that "ah hah" moment..To have the courage to look into your heart and find the truth and acknowledge it...absoulutely beautiful... - BlueButterfly - Aug-14-2009 This was a very well written story. Simple and powerful. These ladies maybe fictional characters but I think it's great to revisit those times and honour those that made very brave choices in a very difficult world. Lovely. - Lyn B - Feb-03-2011 This is one of my favorite stories, referencing one of of my favorite Olivia Newton-John songs. - jss - Feb-07-2011 |

| In this very well told short story a woman reflects on a lifetime of love. | |
| This is a very moving story, especially for those older amongst us in life-long relationships. - Proofrdr - Mar 27th, 2005 What a beautiful story! Perhaps a bit sad, but very touching. And very well written too. Do not miss it! I can't wait for the rest of the series. Thanks Ms. Harte! - G. Carneiro - Mar 29th, 2005 Wow, what a beautiful story! I don't normally read short stories, but a friend recommended 'Last Dance', so I tried. It has touched me so much that I even decided to write a review. This is a very well written story, and very touching. For the few of us we are lucky enough to have found the love of our lives, 'Last Dance' will have a very special meaning. C.J. Harte definitely has a way with words! Do not miss it! BTW, when is the rest of series coming up?! - MichelleR. - Apr 1st, 2005 This is an incredible story of love. This is a gifted writer. I've read her other three pieces as well and am amazed at the talent. Thank you - Patty - Mar-10-2006 I was in tears half way through the story. It was beautiful. - Anonymous - Mar-31-2008 a beautiful story. - reita - Jul-23-2008 Beautiful and poignant. - Anonymous - Jan-03-2009 OMG! How beautiful! A must read. - Lily - Feb-14-2009 Awesome, simply awesome. Stories like this one, do truly deal of what love and loving someone truly means. - xenamari - Feb-19-2009 So charming...so sweet and funny... - BlueButterfly - Aug-14-2009 A brilliant love story. I will re-read this story many, many times. It touched a deep cord in my heart, making me cry. If you're a romantic, you'll love it. If you're not a romantic, you'll be hoping that this will be your story. Brilliant. - Maria - Aug-23-2009 so touching... - easteden - Aug-31-2009 I am crying ... Beautiful story. - RLA - Aug-29-2010 Such a beautiful story! It's short but it still touches your heart very deeply. I hope I will be lucky enough to meet a woman to spend all my life with. I don't know if anyone noticed, but the end seems to have double meaning. Something about a dance for a lifetime confuses me. But it's still a happy ending no matter where they dance - on this land or in another world, - as long as they are together. - vacumm_cleaner - Jul-31-2011 |
