I read the Angelique series of books nearly twenty years ago, when I was a teenager - in English. I read a couple again a year or two ago and still really enjoyed them. They are by Sergeanne Golon and are a gripping read.
They are romantic history (which is not my bag at all!) - lots based on historical fact ... a friend read them in the French and said it was pretty easy going.
