Chevalier Men #5
Lessons for Solange
Solange was in trouble. There was no way out, she was caught. Yes, she had been blackmailing her cousin’s no-good fiancé, but she had never meant for anyone to get hurt-not physically. Determined not to beg, she would accept her punishment like a woman. That DID NOT mean cowing or begging however, not even to the powerful Chevalier family. Beaumont and Boden knew they had found a rare treasure. All they had to do was break through that shell Solange surrounded herself in. But first they had to get her to trust them with her secrets, and eventually her heart.
Excerpt:
“Thank you, but I’m not hungry.” She didn’t pout, didn’t sulk. She simply poured herself a streaming cup of coffee into the delicate china, laced the brew liberally with cream and sugar until the liquid was a similar color to her own skin and sipped. No histrionics. Just a calm, calculated rejection of authority.
He felt the blood rushing through his veins, his skin tingling with the excitement he told himself over and over again last night he would not fell toward her.
Intellectually, he understood she was challenging him as a form of self-defense he didn’t believe even she understood, but it got his juices flowing nonetheless. A woman hadn’t challenged him in anything in…well, never really. Even his ex-wife hadn’t deigned to disagree with him, even when she thought him dead wrong. But then, she hadn’t talked to him much. Hadn’t really wanted a husband or a son. When his mother had offered her an out she had jumped at the chance to return to her life in New England away from the pesky concerns of a family.
Sliding to the chair next to hers, Beau placed a croissant and various pieces of fruit on her plate.
“I’m not going to-” He slid a chunk of honeydew melon between her lips as she spoke, effectively cutting off any protest.
Solange glowered but she chewed and swallowed, reaching for the fork he held in his hand. “I can feed myself.”
“Oh, no I don’t think so, sweetheart.” He was enjoying himself far too much which meant when they got back to New Orleans, he couldn’t see her again. “You had your chance to eat on your own, but you had to be difficult. Now you can just relax and let Daddy feed you.”

There is just something about those Chevalier Men!!! I don't even like menage but I gotta love it with these two. I didn't quite get into feeling all forgiving towards Solange. I had developed quite a dislike for her from Thierry's Angel. I understand that she did everything to help support her mother, however, I still couldn't manage to muster a whole lot of compassion for her. As a matter of fact, I don't think she deserved those wonderful men (I am biased towards the men). I'm sorry, she's just not my favorite person and I don't think she should have not one, but two Chevalier men (I'm just jealous)!!! But I still don't like her.

While I liked somewhat the Chevaliers' saga. I just couldn't get into this book. It's a menage- a-trois

In this installment of the Chevalier men series, we meet Beaumont and Boden, two powerful brothers that not only share family ties but also women.They are looking for the one woman who can love them and share their life style, however they have never found such a woman. Now the brothers are charged with teaching Solange a lesson, after she tried to give up her cousin Angelique to her cheating,lying,fiance Paul. The brothers are to make Solange pay for what she has done to her cousin who is now married to Thierry the son of one brother and nephew of the other. The brothers don't take to kindly to some one hurting there but what they find is Solange is not the ruthless hateful woman she is made out to be, but a resigned lonely young woman who has done everything she can to help her delusional mother and she maybe just the woman they are looking for.
I am a huge fan of this series and I loved every one of the books but this one was not my favorite. I did like the book,the concept was good and the story was there.It had the mystery,intrigue and super hot sex that is present in all the other books,I only gave this book 3 stars for a couple of reasons.I did not feel the connection between the parties involved. it seemed they where very quick to love and believe woman who had done so much damage. I think that maybe if the author had fleshed out the story more it would have give the reads more time to connect with Solange and the brothers. Also the editing was not very good and for a 90 page book there were a lot of typos and that kind of took a way from the book for me.All in all if you are a fan of the series its not a bad read.

Another great book in the Chevalier Series! But I must say I find it hard to wrap my mind around Beau, Bodie and Solange's relationship! I'm not a prude I guess I'm just not that liberal! At least not when it comes to sharing my lover!
Although Angel felt bad and apologized for asking Solange's if she loved Beau, I don't think Solange had a right to be offended! Hell, she was damn near pimping her cousin out to that rat bastard Paul. Yeah, yeah, yeah she had a hard life but she'd rather protect her mother's pride and pimp her cousin than to ask for help! Yeah maybe Angle's father should've stepped up and helped more but you only do what others will allow you to do for them, especially if they don't ask for the help! I felt that Solange's attitude was about her cousin was a bit over the top. Yeah she apologized but it was a half ass apology! She apologized but she didn't feel remorseful for what she did because if she had, she would've apologized sooner!
Beau's and Bodie's attitude was self serving! Their "accept us or stay away" attitude was a bit over dramatic! Especially for men their age! I mean to threaten to throw his son and his wife out wasn't even called for! He forgot he wasn't there for his sons when they needed him most but now he's being all "family man" now with his new children!

Although Solange had gone through a lot, I didn't see her as the wronged person as this book wants to portray her. She had a hard life, but the people she wronged were not at fault. I guess this story was just not for me.

This story didn't tie in as we'll as the others did.

The two heroes are so good to the heroine though old.

Shara Azod's " Lessons for Solange" was a menage relationship between brothers, General Bodie, Senator Beaumont and of course Solange Dubois. Solange was to be watched by these older Chavalier brothers because of blackmail and other bad deeds she committed again her cousin, Angel from "Thierry's Angel (book 1 of the Chavalier Series.
Although, I didn't care for Solange from book 1, I grew to admire her strong family values and the untraditional relationship with Beau and Bodie. The reflections of her past deeds and relationships with other character from "Thierry's Angel" are realized as to why Solange was the way she was in this story.
--5 bright stars

This is the fifth book in the Chevalier Saga, but the first one I've read. As it starts half-way through a scene I should have read at least the prior one.
This is a brothers menage story, a Senator and a General both mature men and a 30 yr old Solange. Story was interesting if unbelievable.
But the major drawback was the spelling. Please could Ms Azod hire a proper proofreader or editor.
Still I'll continue reading her work.

This was a menage relationship between brothers, Bodie, Beaumont and Solange Dubois. These were Theirry, Remy and Rance fathers in this relationship. At first I found it really weird this relationship and after a while after finding about Solange's background it made perfect sense to me.

let me say WOW!!! didn't see this one coming but this was one of my favorites of the series and a nice way to close out the series. another winner from Ms Azod
