Rating: Summary: Victoria and the Rogue Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Meg Cabot has done it again! Review: Victoria Arbuthnot is sixteen years old. Her parents died when she was very young, and she was left in the care of her uncles in India. Now, she is being sent to England to find a husband. While aboard the Harmony, Hugo Rothschild, also known as Lord Malfrey, proposes to her. She believes that he wants to marry her because he loves her, and not because of her fortune. But can she be absolutely positive on that? This, Meg Cabot's second novel for the Avon True Romance series, is just as excellent as Nicola and the Viscount. At first, I could not quite like Victoria's character, but the story gets better as it goes on. Overall, it is a very well written story, and keeps the reader interested. It also has a similar plot like Nicola and the Viscount; people who enjoyed that novel will like this.
Rating: Summary: Another wonderful Avon True Romance. Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Another well written romance Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Great Reading! Review: Victoria is a Miss-to-do-everything for others, so when she found some one in great need for her she agreed to his proposal. Then there is Jacob Carstairs, a man who always rush to her aid. Will she trust her heart and follow it? Read to find out.
Rating: Summary: It's alright..... Review: When I first saw this book, I thought...is it going to be worth it to buy? well, i took the chance, and it was actually pretty good. At first the story gets my attention, but after a while, I started to dislike Vicky, her personality was very snobbish, spoiled and selfish. She took advantage of mens hearts for her own benefit, to match her desires. Because this is the first romance novel I have ever read, I forced myself not to give up. I would defidently not recommend this book, it is not very interesting, and the plot is boring.
