Odlučno odbivši da postane miljenica Luja XIV, Anđelika od Njegovog veličanstva saznaje da njen prvi muž, grof Žofrej od Pejraka prije deset godina nije spaljen na trgu Grev. Tako idemo napred s dva dobra druga, sa životom i sa smrću. Uvek sam je smatrao dobrim društvom koje nas uvek prati. Still, jolly good fun and next up is Angelique in Revolt (Book 4). I did notice that the edition I read is from a different translator than some of the other editions and read a bit dryer than those and for that I'm knocking off half a star. I did enjoy this book, although there were times when events dragged on too long for my tastes - there seemed to be a lot of background being set up for events that will happen in the later books. She felt as is (sic) she had been robbed of her soul.'

She could not help thinking of herself as merely a work of art being inspected by some critical collector pondering its material values only. 'This was the only time in her life that she was ashamed of being a woman and a beautiful one to boot. Will she survive with her virtue intact, or will that treacherous body of hers betray her once again? Oh, but the fool escapes and lands herself right into the hands (and harem) of the infamous Sultan of Morocco. No surprise, but there's no smooth sailing in Angélique's world and after a battle or two at sea and a shipwreck, she's captured and sold as a slave to the highest bidder - the notorious pirate Rescator. Despite the heavy police guard placed on her by the express command of Louis XIV, Angélique slips away, and her feminine charms come in quite handy when she needs to wheedle her way onto one of the King's vessels heading for Crete. At the end of book two, Angelique learned that her supposedly dead husband might not be so dead after all, and she's willing to risk everything, including the King's wrath to find him.

Hah! This is the third book in a long series, and this review will be rather brief to avoid spoiling events from the prior novels, Angelique (Book 1) and Angélique and the King (Book 2). With you, it's always something important-you're about to be murdered, or else commit suicide, or perhaps you've decided to involve the Royal Family in some fiendish scandal, or disobey the Pope.' Nothing would make you bother the police for a joke.
