Product Description
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.

 Not worth it... October 5, 2008
I know that I should have seen this one coming, but I didn't. I liked Princess Diaries but the same problems that I had with those books are the same ones that I had with this one. Victoria is stuck up, snooty, and has a very large nose which she manages to poke into everybody's business. Jacob Carstairs isn't, in actuality, that bad, and while Victoria comes to realize it in the end, it is annoying to listen to her ranting and obsessing about all the little problems she sees.
All in all, I didn't really care for this one. I would suggest some of the others in the Avon True Romance series like: Samantha and the Cowboy or Tess and the Highlander.
 A very entertaining book February 6, 2008

I really loved this book. The characters are vivid and the storyline is solid. At times I thought that Victoria, the lead female character, was a little annoying but she's a kind and decent person, which makes up for her bossiness. I'd definitely recommend this book!

My daughter and her friends devoured all these AVON romances for teens. Highly recommended!
Bravo! July 26, 2006
Well, i read Nicola and The Visicount, Meg Cabot's other historical book, and i didnt like it all that much. So i didnt really feel like reading this one. However, i saw it at my local library and i picked it out to read. I loved it! It was much better than the pther book and was funny, interesting and had memorable characters. It's more like Meg Cabot's other books than like the Nicola book. It's enjoyable and funny, so i'd reccomend it to all Meg Cabot lovers. Dont overlook this book just because you didnt like the other historical book. This one's actually good. :)

Sixteen-year-old Victoria Arbuthnot, daughter of the deceased duke and his wife, has grown up headstrong with her three uncles in India. Now at a marrigable age, Victoria has been unceremoniously shipped off to England to see her relatives, the Gardiners. Uncle John wagers she won't get a single proposal for another year-but even before she sets foot on shore, the handsome, though not wealthy, Lord Malfrey, proposes dramatically on the ship /Harmony/. At which moments, a certain sneering young captain, Jacob Carstairs, interupts a rather tender moment. Victoria and the captain are not on good terms, or so she claims. But when she accepts Lord Malfrey's offer, she finds that Jacob Carstairs is fast becoming more than a nusisance-and will say so to anyone who asks-he is determined to convince Victoria not to marry Malfrey. After much exchange of witty, sarcastic banter, Victoria realizes that, annoying as Carstairs may be, he may just be /right/-Lord Malfrey may have something to hide. But she realizes this too late, and risks having her reputation dragged in the dirt and across the streets of London-will strongheaded, stubborn Victoria be able to pull through Lord Malfrey's devious scheme? And what of Carstairs? Find out yourself. ;P
