Format: Mass Market Paperback
Victoria Arbuthnot was just four years old when her parents died while the family was visiting India. Since then, she has been raised in India by her uncles, but now that she is sixteen, she has been sent back to England to find a husband. On the long sea journey from India to London, Victoria meets Hugo Rothschild, the ninth early of Malfrey, who proposes to her shortly before the journey's end. Victoria is thrilled with the proposal. But why is Jacob Carstairs, who was also a passenger on the ship, trying to get her to end her engagement? Now that they are in London, why won't he just leave Victoria alone? And why is she even attracted to such an infuriating man as Jacob? And is Hugo hiding a terrible secret? I enjoyed this book even more than Meg Cabot's first Avon True Romance. It had a really good romance and also a good mystery subplot.

I really can't believe how good this book was! I was afraid that this would be a cheesy cheap romance with no substance, but I was definitely wrong!

This story is about Lady Victoria Arbuthnot, who grew up in India with her uncles after her parents died, and at age 16 travels back to London to live with her aunt's family. On the ship that takes her to London, Victoria meets Lord Malfrey, and he proposes to her on the ship deck after just three months. Victoria accepts, but in part just to make the infuriating and handsome Captain Jacob Carstairs mad. Captain Carstairs is always teasing Victoria with a twinkle in his eye, and always smirks at her, which makes her hate him. Luckily, Victoria thinks she will never have to see him again when she gets off the ship. Unfortunately, Victoria's aunt and her family are great friends with Captain Carstairs, so she'll be seeing plenty of him.

Captain Carstairs continually tries to convince Victoria to break her engagement with Lord Malfrey, and not go through with the marriage, because he knows that he is only in it for wealthy Victoria's money. However, Victoria doesn't realize that Carstairs is right; nor does she realize that he is in love with her.

Finally Victoria realizes that Jacob Carstairs is telling the truth, and she also realizes how delicious his kisses are, when one night Jacob can't hold in his feelings any longer.

This is not the end of the story, however. Fortunately, it is just the beginning, and the Victoria and Jacob don't just end up living happily ever after--yet. There is another big...conflict that occurs that I don't want to give away because it's really interesting.

Victoria Arbuthnot is shipped off to England to find a husband but she finds herself engaged to the charming and handsome Hugo Rothschild before she even gets off the boat. Her life seems perfect but she can't get the ship's captain, Jacob Carstairs, out of her head. Sure, Jacob is handsome and rich but he also teases Victoria relentlessly. Jacob also seems to distrust Victoria's new fiancé. So, which of these men is Victoria's true love and which is just a rogue?
I don't usually read romance books but since I enjoy teen novels I thought I'd give this one a try. Victoria and the Rogue isn't the most thought provoking book I've ever read but it was a more than adequate fun weekend read. Victoria is a bit judgmental but she means well so she not entirely unlikeable. Jacob was also pretty amusing. The ending vas very predictable but that didn't hinder my enjoyment of the book. I'll probably be reading more books from the Avon True Romance series.

Victoria Arbutnot is 16 a rich heiress to a big fortune who grew up in the Far-East land of India. Victoria is very independent having been raised by her uncles after her parents died in India when she was only 4. Now, though, she finds herself on a ship back to England to find a suitable husband. During her journey on the ship, Harmony, she meets the charming ninth earl of Malfrey, Hugo Rothschild. The two seem to immediatley fall in love and before Victoria even sets foot on English soil, she finds herself engaged to the perfect husband. If only the handsome Jacob Cartairs, the ship's young captain, would stop meddling in their business. Victoria is extremely puzzeled by the young captain's persistantness at getting the engagement cancled and when the truth finally comes to light, earl Malfrey might just not be the perfect person after all. I definitely liked Meg Cabot's second Avon True Romance better. It seems she was more experienced this time and the mystery was definitely good.

Lady Victoria is a wealthy young heiress who has for the most of her life lived in far off India. But now that she is sixteen, her uncles have decided to send her to London to find a husband. And finds a suitor she does, and even before she has arrived in London, she is engaged to Hugo Rothschild, ninth earl of Malfrey, and the perfect English gentleman. Victoria couldn't ask for anything more. Yet there is one thing she would like, to have the young and persistent Captain Jacob Carstairs leave her alone! Jacob is convined that Hugo is not all that he is thought to be, but Victoria has made up her mind, she believes with all her heart that Jacob is the rogue, not her betrothed. But could she be making a mistake?
The twelfth and last book of the series, "Victoria and the Rogue" is an Avon True Romance for teens. And even though this book is first and foremost a romance novel, there is plenty of intrigue, humor, and excitement to entertain a variety of teens.
Victoria has got to be in my opinion one of the most interesting characters I've read. She's haughty, a bit unlady-like, a bit innocent, and controlling of other. Doesn't sound much of a character you'd like, huh? But in actuality, her character was for me totally fascinating. As I was reading the book, I kept looking forward to having someone put her in her place and teach her what it means to love.
And of course this character is Jacob Carstairs. Absolutely the kind of guy you'd dream about! I thought him very charming (though his collar points is a good two inches belowed the required height, clearly a crime against 1810 London fashion). He's certainly the perfect match for Victoria. I must congratulate Meg Cabot in her style of writing. She's staying with the usual 'formula' for romance novels, yet gives a feeling of experiencing something new.
If all the other Avon True Romance novels for teens are anything like "Victoria and the Rogue", I'm definitely picking up another in the series!
