Summary: An Enjoyable Read
Review: Lady Victoria Arbuthnot is a young and headstrong heiress who grew up in India after the deaths of both of her parents. When she comes to England to find a husband, she hardly expects to find one as soon as she gets on board of the ship to take her to England. Her fiancee, Hugo Rothschild, ninth earl of Malfrey, is good-looking, sophisticated, and quite a gentlemen - everything that Victoria could ever ask for in a husband. But she becomes confused about her feelings when a handsome ship captain, Jacob Carstairs, keeps interferring with her affairs. This is the first book I read of the Avon True Romance Series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Though Victoria annoyed me at times, I thought that she was likeable. I also enjoyed that this novel was humorous. Overall, I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes Avon True Romances or would just like to enjoy a simple romance.

Summary: A delight to read, great for teen girls!
Review: 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!

That is until recently, when her uncles send her off to England to find a hushand! And find a husband Vicky does! During her journey to England on the ship the Harmony she meets Hugo Rothschild, the ninth earl of Malfrey, and Victoria thinks he is absolutely perfect for her. And Hugo seems to agree since he asks Vicky to marry him. Victoria is absolutely thrilled with her life now, well she would be if Jacob Carstairs, who is far too handsome for her state of mind, would just leave her alone! Is Hugo really a rogue like Jacob says? Is he hiding some secret? And why is Jacob so determined to get involved? This was another great book by Meg Cabot. I liked it even better than her first Avon True Romance!

Summary: A good summer read
Review: Okay, so this book is not exactly complex or thought-provoking. But, this one is the best of the series. Some of the other ones are dumb or downright corny. At any rate, I found the character development to be best in this book. Also, the chemistry between the two main characters was more emphasized than in other novels. And Victoria, although somewhat snotty and/or naive/stupid at times, actually does some good.Victoria is independent and not interested in poetry like other characters (fortunately). The only thing that really annoyed me was her complaining about Jacob's collar points. That was just dumb. So, if you want to try one of these novels, I would recommend this one. It is definitely the best in the series.

Summary: Amazing but not what I expected
Review: The book Victoria and the Rouge, was an very good book but it was not what I expected it to be. I thought it was to be a great love story. But it was wonderfly written. I felt as if I was back in the 1800 with Victoria. She has a crazy mind and I don't know where she comes up with the things she thinks of. Some parts are perdiciable though. I first 100 pages I did not like much becuase I wanted the love story to start faster then it did. It was well written and I would recomend it to others.

Summary: The Best Romance Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book has got to be one of the greatest young adult romance novels in the world.You cant't help but love Victoria as she is young,charming, flirty,and funny as she tries to control peoples lives when she needs to sort out her own.I can't see how people can abuse this book so cruelly!!!!! It will make any woman with a heart fell anxious, smile, giggle, and even blush while reading it.
As soon as I read it I told my friends all about it. I mean Captain Jacob Carstairs (unusual last name)is like the boy next door, handsome , rich, classy, and teasing. You can't help but like his jerkiness, but Hugo Rothschild is the guy everyone wants. He is handsome, like Jacob, he is popular and very charming, and he wants to marry Victoria.
The big kiss in this book made me blush so hard and feel so good it won me over. Any romantics will just looooooove this book.It is a book with Meg Cabot's stle the Jane Austen way. Read and enjoy.

Summary: A must read!
Review: This book is perhaps one of the best in the Avon True Romance series. As this was the second book I have read in the series, it is quite promising and prompted me to buy some more! Meg Cabot is an excellent writer with true talent, spunk, and imagination, as seen in her books The Princess Diaries series. I do believe that this is her first attempt to write this kind of a novel, and she has successfully written one. Buy this book (if you haven't already) and enjoy!

Summary: Sort of same plot as Nicola and Viscount.... But good
Review: This boook was great! But one thing I noticed was, if you had previously read Meg Cabot's other Avon Romance "Nicola and the Viscount" the plot is sort of the same. Engaged to someone not good, Someone interferes.
But other than that, this book was really good. I'm sad that this is the last Avon Romance!! tear, tear.
In Victoria and the Rogue, Victoria is engaged to Lord Malfrey. He seems just perfect for her, until the sly, handsome Captain Carstairs begins to hint that he isn't right for Victoria. Of course, this ticks Victoria off greatly.
Then she realizes she might have feelings for CAptain Carstairs.... Its a great story,and I recommend it !!!!!!!!

Summary: Classic Teen Romance
Review: This is a GREAT book for the romance deprived teen. Some think that Victoria is snobbish but keep in mind that she fits a time period where a dance was more important that a war! She has the personality of wanting to help make people better and that sorta gets her in to trouble.... This is a Great Book to read.
Victoria lets her feelings for one man force her to another. She eventually realizes what she denied all along and it shocks her as well. I would recomend this to anyone one who wants a good teen romance. Happy Reading - Mooose!
