Description During Books The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell

Belle Cantrell felt guilty about killing her husband and she hated that. Feeling guilty, that is. A lady shouldn't do something she's going to feel guilty about later was a rule Belle kept firmly in mind.

Welcome to the world of beautiful, irrepressible Belle Cantrell, years before she becomes grandmother to Sissy LeBlanc of Loraine Despres' bestselling The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc. It is 1920, prohibition is in full swing, women are clamoring for the vote -- and in the little town of Gentry, Louisiana, narrow-minded intolerance is on the rise. Sent to jail for swimming in an indecent bathing costume with a group of suffragists, Belle Cantrell knows her behavior broke the rules. But sometimes -- most of the time -- she has to twist the rules a little, because they all say the same thing: "Don't."

A sexy, sassy story of murder, adultery, romance, bigotry, and regular church attendance, with laugh-out-loud humor and a cast of zany, endearing characters you won't forget, The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell is a big comic love story . . . and much more.

Assess Of Books The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell
After reading The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc, I found this book about her grandmother, Belle. Each chapter starts with some Southern wisdom for women. Belle is widowed early in life and small town living and rumor mills circle her life as she is adjusting to being single and running the family farm. There is a lot about the womans right to vote and Ku Klux Klan which takes a different approach in their dealings. This time they target the Jewish members of the Gentry, LA community. Not

I am not sure that this book would be accurately described as chick-lit but as I think women will enjoy it more than men I guess it works. I really enjoyed this book. The main character is interesting and spunky. This book has a little bit of everything from romance to dealing with social issues in the south at the beginning of the last century. I especially enjoyed the characters involvement in the women's suffragette movement. Definetely pick up this book if you have time.

Totally enjoyed the book.

Alright, not great. Some of the random characters had good lines that made me laugh. Really disliked the main antagonist, as is expected, but did not see why or how the main character was attracted to him. That made little sense to me.

I always feel constricted by the 1-5 scale and would give this book a 3.5.I thought this book was going to be sort of a trashy beach novel. (Large print editions don't always do a great job on the back cover-description...)So, I'm at the beach and it was not a trashy novel that I was expecting (hoping?) for. However, it was a good, interesting, historical romance read. There was SO much to cover that I often wondered how Belle was able to just right some big moments off...but I think it's

While I was reading this book, I thought a lot about my grandmothers. My maternal great, great grandmother Minnie, was a flapper who ran a "boarding house for gentlemen", whatever that is, after she kicked her drunk of a husband out of the house and divorced him. I am told she wore red lipstick and smoked, and probably didn't give a hoot what anyone thought of her. Her daughter, my great grandmother, Ruth, worked three jobs after her husband died, leaving her alone to raise five children during

Loved itThis book is just as great at The Scandalous Summer of Sissy Leblanc. The author absolutely made the characters just as wonderful as in that book. The story kept me interested the entire time!!
