could be but i remember buying copy's of the series at a local kmart in the 80's and then finding them again in the 90's at book warehouse, the only thing i can remember for certain was either a busty blonde or a redhead on the cover like a bulseeye with knifes missing her, i'm really sorry if it's not enough to go on, and yes i do remember that it was a very sleazy book series like i said if anyone could help me with this i would be very gratefull, oh and they were mass-market paperbacks that were sold at kmart & safeway & perhaps farm fresh as well
