About this audiobook
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.

Reviews for Victoria and the Rogue
140 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was cute--I think it's meant to be for a YA audience, though some of the ideas that are implied make me think it'd definitely be for an older YA audience.
I would never go so far as to say the story was provocative or inappropriate, however. I thought it was a lot of fun to read. It seems as though everyone in the story (including the reader) knows what's going to happen to the protagonist, except she herself.
Having just wrapped up watching the first three seasons of Downton Abbey, I appreciate the setting of this story. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A cute love story in the same vein as Heyer’s The Grand Sophie. There’s no depth or subtlety to this story, but it was refreshingly free of the misunderstandings that usually tear the love interests apart. Oh the agony! In fact, Victoria not only knows that her considerable wealth plays a part in her fiance’s proposal, but thinks it absolutely right that it would be. Even better, she’s well-informed about love affairs in general and is far from shocked when her fiancé is called a “rogue” but instead, asks in what precise way. I liked Victoria even if I didn’t like her eventual husband, who is overfond of growling at her and being shocked at her sensible ideas. It is overall a fun, fast read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked this a lot better than Nicola & the Viscount, mainly because Victoria is more of an engaging heroine. It also seems a little more plausible plot-wise, with Hugo trying to marry Victoria for her money. I had less “historical accuracy RAAAAAGE” while reading this (with maybe exception to the orphan subplot), the characters are a lot more fun and seem a lot more like people, rather than just plot points. While I’m still not happy with the “I hate you! But you’re attractive!” model of Jacob and Victoria’s relationship, it did come across as Jacob having Victoria’s best interests at heart. In conclusion: a fun read for anyone looking for something easy.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Fast-paced, fun and frivolous teen romance with all the innocent fervor of first love. I enjoyed this short little novel by Meg Cabot and would recommend it to anyone looking for a cute summer read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book. I confess. I did not want to. I tried to stop, but the more I read, the more I enjoyed it. It was predictable. The main character was insufferable. And I kept reading. I wanted to see how Victoria was going to end up with Jacob. She was so self-centered and opinionated. How was she going to get past her low opinion of him? How was she going to get away from the earl? I knew it had to turn out in the end. But how? So I kept reading, and in the end, I enjoyed it. It is not deep, but it is an enjoyable read with interesting characters in a predictable but well crafted plot.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Victoria and the Rogue was a fun, teen romance. Victoria is a proactive Romance Novel heroine, which is appreciated. The plot was rather predictable, but well written.
