I had a hard time getting in to it, but loved it from chapter 6 on.  I have a feeling the more I read it, the better I'll like it each time.

Briefly put, I absolutely adored this book and hated that it had to end darn it.  I loved it so much that I'm still giving it 5 stars even though there were a number of times that scenes jumped without any indication/punctuation to alert the reader.  The depth of emotion I felt for the characters outweighed any editing issue annoyances.  If the storyline interests you at all- buy it.  I can't wait to see what's next for this author!

I gave this book a five-star rating because of the last chapter. What a twist! I was not expecting it to end this way, but I'm glad it did. I would recommend this for my daughters and my female colleagues to read. Great love story!

It is written in first person and just spoke right to my heart. I loved it so much I purchased 6 more copies for various friends and they all loved it too!

I'm not really sure what this book is about...but I loved it!  It took a little time to get used to how the chapters were laid out...but it also made it very easy to ' chapter back' and re-read the things I wasn't sure about.  This series of 'episodes' felt like a real full length book...which I was worried about for only a short while.  I didn't think I would find satisfaction in this format but I did, and I can't wait to read the next 'season.'

I am way past my 16th birthday, but I LOVED this book! I could not put it down once I started it. Since it does involve time travel (one of my fav sub genres)I have to say I was very impressed with Ms Harris's transition from present to past.

This book was good on so many levels. It reminded me of myself at the same age, although no one has ever taken me on a trip to Italy or anywhere else for any of my birthdays. It was more Cat's (the main character) feelings, or lack of them in certain situations which I could relate to. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a great romance, with some twists and turns along the way. And if you happen to have a daughter/niece/friend with a daughter, who happens to be turning 16 anytime soon, this is an excellent gift!

Kudos also to the art director/art department on this cover. It has to be right up there with one of my favorite covers. Absolutely breathtaking.

I can't wait for Ms Harris's next book!

Didn't have any expectations, but was hooked after chapter four and couldn't put it down. What I want now is more of the same.

Dang, I thought I put way too much thought into my characters' names, but Rachel Hawkins's take the cake. Bee Franklin? Really?

I listened to this on the audio version, and at first I was iffy about the narrator's voice. The Southern accent felt awkward (to me--I live in Michigan), but I'm glad I stuck with this. She really brought the story to life.

The characters AND dialogue were fantastic. Isn't that awesome when you get both in the same book? Harper and David have been rivals for years, and then Harper becomes his Paladin. But how the heck is she supposed to explain that to her friends? That's another thing I love about Rebel Belle--Harper is determined to keep her previous relationships while navigating this new world, and she does it as well as she can.

First sentence: "Looking back, none of this would have happened if Id brought lip gloss the night of the Homecoming Dance.

Now I'm stuck wondering what would have happened if she'd brought her own lip gloss. Who would become David's Paladin next? It could be been Benjamin Franklin--I mean Bee.

I totally recommend this book to people who love the South. Are any towns in Alabama this idealistic though? I've only ever driven through it, and maybe spent the night in a hotel on the way to Florida.

Every single chapter in this book was interesting; some comical, some sensual, some heartbreaking, but I guarantee you will NOT be bored -- EVER!!  Chapter Six, Office Foreplay, stimulated me so much I had to take a cold shower after reading it.  I laughed, too, at how ingenious Angie was at creating ways to drive this man crazy and the sex-in-the-office was unbelievable.  Other chapters that were amazing were Meeting The Mrs. and The Mrs. Goes to Court; every man's nightmare (seeing his wife in his lover's clothes!) This chapter was hilarious. I sincerely loved this book and think you will, too.  It will not win an award by any means but it will keep you captivated and on your toes dying to read the next chapter.  I read it in three sittings and I never even read!!!!  I was drawn to this book because I liked the cover so much; that's what made me buy it.
