~sigh~Īlas, my original collection is GONE!! The paperbacks with the white background with Angelique in court dress looking hot as hell, those editions. on and on! Pure escapism and it didn't end, until it did. Translated from French! This to me was literature! (I hadn't discovered real literature yet, Lord of the Flies was about it.) So exciting all those crazy adventures from the French countryside to Versailles, to being held captive by pirates, being sold to a sultan, life in the New World. The series was one of my most prized collections. It made me feel so grown up!! Took me about a year, too! Some 40 odd years ago, I slowly collected the whole available series of Angelique, one by one, with the little money I saved right out of high school, working at a hamburger stand for $1.45 an hour and after paying rent and college fees. Once you've met Angelique, you won't want to miss any of the sensational Angelique novels: Angelique has loved, intrigued, hated and fought her way into the hearts of millions of readers all over the world. Her stormy adventures have taken her from the gutters of Paris to the harems of Africa to the silken prison of a King. She's one of the most irresistible heroines in the history of fiction. It seemed impossible to remain faithful to her distant husband in the face of such glorious temptation. Angelique soon found her new strength give way to the familiar weakness of passion. Then an intruder entered the forest the dashing, roguish pirate who had set her heart aflame once before.
Separated from her husband and all alone i the savage wilderness, Angelique learned to be strong enough to brave all the perils of frontier life.
