Book #10
The Temptation Of Angelique by Sergeanne Golon

Looked like a trashy novel so I picked it up with some hesitancy.
I was pleasantly surprised!! Historical Fiction that was very well written for the most part.
A little too flamboyant in some description and a little too soap operaish in the romantic triangle but the historic aspects I really enjoyed.
Was surprised to learn also that this is a part of a pretty well known series.
