VICTORIA--Growing up in far-off India, wealthy young heiress Lady Victoria Arbutnot was accustomed to handling her own affairs--not to mention everyone else's. But in her sixteenth year, Vicky is unceremoniously shipped off the London to find a husband. With her usual aplomb, however, Lady Victoria gets herself engaged to the perfect English gentleman, even before setting foot on British soil. THE ROGUE--Hugo Rothschild, ninth earl of Malfrey, is everything a girl could want in a future husband: he is handsome and worldly, if not rich. Lady Victoria has everything just as she'd like it. That is, if raffish young ship captain Jacob Carstairs would leave well enough alone. Jacob's meddling is nothing short of exasperating, and Victoria is mystified by his persistence. But when it becomes clear that young Lord Malfrey just might not be all that he's professed to be, Victoria is forced to admit, for the first time in her life, that she is wrong. Not only about her fiancé, but about the reason behind the handsome ship captain's interference.

"Fun, fast read. Great for teens. Clean. Victoria meets Hugo Rothschild on a ship, and agrees to marry him, just to make the Captain (Jacob Carstairs)jealous. Jacob, meddles persistently trying to convinces her Hugo is no good. I enjoyed the story line, and look forward to more from Meg Cabot."

" While I appreciate the cleverness of this story(and the rich historical detail), I must say I found Victoria's interminably slow realisation of the facts most exceedingly tiresome. "
— Dempster, 2/10/2014" Amazingly tugged my heartstrings. Perfect for a little girl at heart. Meg Cabot, never fails to make me happy :D "
— Karla, 2/4/2014" I really like Meg's writing style. And like we found out in Nicola and the Viscount...no sex in the 1800s so a clean, funny read. "
— Kristi, 1/30/2014" Best YA Romance I have ever read -- the perfect steppingstone to classic Regency! "
— Lily, 1/29/2014" It was very funny sometimes and overall a very nice romantic story starring Lady Victoria and Captain Jacob Carstair. "
— Mιss, 1/23/2014" Harmless period romance. Fast read. Predictable and fluffy. "
— Gretchen, 1/20/2014" I liked this book better than "Nicola and the Viscount," even though the story line and plot were much the same. A fun, light, romantic read. "
— Alyssa, 1/20/2014" These books are silly. There's no denying it. But they do have the appeal of historical romances (which I totally get) without the embarrassing sexy bits. So that's a plus. I think I enjoyed Nicola and the Viscount more, but it's pretty close. "
— Meredith, 1/11/2014" Exactly the same plot as Nicola and the Viscount! "
— Rhea, 12/21/2013" One of Meg Cabot's Avon Romances for teens. Predictable but fun. Her heroine still has the same spunk her modern day ones have. "
— Stephanie, 11/23/2013" pretty much the same storyline as nicola and the viscount......kind of a let down by meg cabot......she can do better "
