Solange: Daughter of Last French Casquette Bride in New Orleans
In 18th century New Orleans, the daring, voluptuous Solange Bouligny de Villere Nunez Burke defies societal expectations by marrying three times to three different men under three different flags, ultimately becoming a success independent of her husbands.
First, Solange marries a childhood friend after being caught losing her virginity to him at sixteen. Influenced by his wealthy French father's behavior, he tries and fails to control her. After fathering two children by Solange and one by his quadroon mistress, he dies in a military battle on the Ohio River.
Solange then alienates Creole society by secretly starting her own business and remarries a wealthy Spanish officer to save her son's life. When [this husband] is mysteriously murdered during a Mardi Gras celebration, Solange is once again left a widow.
Long past the age when most women have thrown their corsets upon the armoire, she marries an ambitious American twenty years younger, with whom she had had a night of passion between husbands, resulting in a son assumed to be fathered by her Spanish husband. Solange and her American husband become a power in shipping and are eventually accepted by Creole Society.
In Solange: Daughter of Last French Casquette Bride in New Orleans, we experience the story of a woman facing and overcoming great obstacles [and having hot sex?], despite the confines of 18th century society.

ONCE AGAIN, THE AUTHOR HERE OUTDOES HERSELF WITH THIS SEQUEL BOOK. ANOTHER MUST READ!!!
Solange Bouligny de Villere Nunez Burke is strong and independent like her mother in MADELEINE: Last Casquette Bride in New New Orleans, but she is sexier and more daring. The author wastes no time vividly setting up characters so that, when you have to put the book down (which you never want to do), you will easily remember who is who without having to go back and reread in order to remember them. There is everything in these books: history dating back to the 18th century, sex, lust, rape, starting a new life over and over. I cannot recommend these books highly enough. My only negative is that there will be no more books in this series. They are perfect for book clubs. Enjoy and spread the word to your friends.
