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 "
— Eeman, 11/16/2013" I'm not completely sure why I liked this book but I really did. "
— Diana, 9/15/2013" Great period styled book that makes you want to go back in time. Although the story doesn't end how you thought it would, it still has a content ending. "
— Tayla-Jade, 4/20/2013" This book was part of a series for young adult readers, a non-sex version of historical romances. The book was horrible, but I still loved the Meg Cabot humor. "
— Bethany, 3/11/2013" It's predictable, but really fun and easy to read. "
— Chelsea, 3/4/2013" Sadly this was pretty much everything I don't like in a book :( "
— Sally, 2/21/2013" An easy light-hearted period romance. I enjoyed it. A girl who thinks she knows everything and the man that shows her that's not true. A little reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice but not equal to it. A rainy day's read. "
— Jenna, 1/31/2013" Rogue? Yes, please! "
— cristina, 1/17/2013" A cutesy quick read, not bad. "
— Danielle, 12/22/2012" This book will not give anyone headache of reading it. It was fresh and made me smile a lot. A very excellent distraction after reading so many more serious books....:) "
— Nurlely, 10/3/2012" A fun clean romance. Enjoyed the busybody main character. "
— Angela, 9/28/2012" Me me me love jacob carstairs! "
— Amelia, 9/11/2012" Finished in two hours. Light read.. "
— Vidya-BooksAreMagic, 9/3/2011" Short and cute. Very similar to Nicola and the Viscount, but a good palate cleanser now that school is done for the semester. "
— Kendra, 8/24/2011" So Far So good... <br/><br/>Reviewnya tar ajah yah di rumah.. :D "
— Astri, 4/18/2011" Adorable - my favorite Meg Cabot book ever! "
— Amanda, 4/11/2011" Oh my god, cannot even countenance the horrors this novel would expose were it subjected to the whiff of a symptomatic reading, but I can't help it: I love bossy overbearing heroines -- so unlike myself.<br/><br/>Also is it just me or does every hero of a Meg Cabot novel now resemble Chris Pine? "
— Supriya, 3/21/2011" Loved reading it. The story was lovely, it was almost like a fairy-tale - but more realistic then that. "
— Kitty, 3/17/2011" Best YA Romance I have ever read -- the perfect steppingstone to classic Regency! "
— Lily, 3/4/2011" lupa jg saking lamanya ngga ke GRI kwkwkwkw :P "
— ies, 2/27/2011" This book will not give anyone headache of reading it. It was fresh and made me smile a lot. A very excellent distraction after reading so many more serious books....:) "
— Nurlely, 2/15/2011" Charming and delightful without the sex that bogs down a lot of the author's adult titles. Not remotely believable, but that's not why I read the author's books. Definitely a keeper for when the need for fluff appears. "
— Annis, 2/8/2011" Setelah membaca ini, saya putuskan lebih suka historical romance yg dewasa :D "
— sulis, 2/6/2011" Great story.. kind of like pride and prejudice :D "
— Eman, 1/29/2011" This was another light, fun and romantic book set during one of my favorite literary time era's. I actually laughed out loud a few times. "
