About this ebook

Victoria

Growing up in far-off India, wealthy young heiress Lady Victoria Arbuthnot was accustomed to handling her own affairs -- not to mention everyone else's. But in her sixteenth year, Vicky is unceremoniously shipped off to 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 fiance, but about the reason behind the handsome ship captain's interference.

Ratings and reviews

Normally I'm not a fan of Meg Cabot, her stories tend to drag on forever and I'm bored easily. But I really enjoyed Victoria and the Rogue. The storyline is easy going and really funny in places. Victoria is a "busy bee" and somehow it doesn't come across as annoying, just endearing. And the love story is awesome.

This was an entertaining little romance! I enjoyed it quite a bit. A fun, PG- Victorian romance. It was a cute way to pass the time, and while I may not seek out other books by her, I am glad that a friend loaned it to me to read.
