Product Description

Synopsis

Rene Comeaux, the town rogue, acted impulsively by agreeing to marry Amanda Rose Richardson--a very proper American heiress--to save her reputation, but in his sensuous embrace, she would discover the depths of his desire. Original.

From the Author

Hi Readers!
Please join me in celebrating the 300th anniversary of Louisiana with my Cajun historical romance "A Cajun Dream." Born and raised in the Bayou State, I have always loved hearing the stories behind our unique culture, traditions and festivities. So, in honor of my state's tricentennial, I share my culture with you. "A Cajun Dream" examines how the French and Americans did not (and sometimes did) get along in post-statehood Louisiana. The story revolves around Amanda Rose Richardson, the daughter of an American judge, who has had to live under the shadow of her Creole French mother's scandal. She is loved in secret by Cajun Rene Comeaux, who rescues Amanda from her own scandal and crosses her into the French world she has long been denied. I hope you enjoy reading my tale as much as I have had writing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful read. Cherie Claire is a wonderful new voice. 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A handsome acadian racetrack owner and an American Judge's beautiful, overprotected daughter deal with cultural & family differences and the scandal that forces their midnight marriage. Cherie Claire keeps us guessing. We know Amanda Rose and Rene Comeaux belong together, and we can't wait to find out how it can possibly happen with all they have to overcome. A CAJUN DREAM is one of those books we are delighted to know awaits us after a long workday. A treat for any reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love bridges the gulf between two cultures. 17 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Amanda's over-protective father frightens away every potential suitor, and Amanda fears spinsterhood. Ashamed that she is 21 years old and never been kissed, she makes arrangements in secret to go to a ball with someone she has heard is a good kisser. This scoundrel, on the other hand, plans to abduct her and force her to marry him, believing her wealthy father will pay him to avoid scandal.

Fortunately, she is rescued by a handsome young man who is secretly in love with her but knows that he is beneath her because of his Acadien (French Canadian) heritage. Of course, his "rescue" must also result in compromise, so Amanda and René are married. Neither knows the true feelings of the other, so they must experience the usual agony of doubt before they are able to confess their love.

But this story is much more than a charming romance, and, as posted by a previous reader, a portrayal of Louisiana history (which is very interesting, by the way). It is also a story of how Americans fought to overcome prejudices between people of different races and cultures in order to work together to make their country successful. America's diversity makes it unique among all other countries in the world, and, rather than take it for granted, we must strive to ensure that America remains a haven for people of all nations and cultures.

I heartily recommend this book and will certainly look for more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chere Claire does her homework - historically accurate 30 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I look forward to reading this book because I know Chere Claire has deep roots in South Louisiana that carry over in her depth of writing. Her historical research is exact, so her book offers accurate history intertwined with a page-turning story.
