Angélique in a Historical Setting

As a minor find, it seems that there was a heroine in historical fiction named Angélique written by Anne and Serge Golon.  Her stories were published in French originally; but the first ten of the books were translated into English.  They're definitely in the historical romance genre, and highly readable.

They made some of them into movies, starring Michèle Mercier.

    I remember them for the semi-lurid covers on the paperbacks back when they sold for 75 cents.

    That looks like a beach read.

    Your picture keeps popping up everywhere. Book covers, next to lamp posts... EVERYWHERE!

    A really nice book cover, promising erotic content inside.

    Nice boobies on the girl on the cover.

    Then: "France's daughter of joy seeks lusty new adventures as a sultan's pampered slave." Now: "Angelique writes a blog." Times change!
