false 187810 14 <p> Victoria </p> <p> 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. </p> <p> The Rogue </p> <p> 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. </p> <p> 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. </p> 952522 2003 Victoria and the Rogue total:814|5:178|4:226|3:270|2:117|1:23| 814 2861 1174 55 4 1 false false Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 22:58:38 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 16:37:19 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 4 1 false true Fri Jul 18 12:11:09 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 12:11:50 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Nov 21 11:49:19 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 21 13:30:32 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Apr 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 00:35:52 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 07:35:14 -0700 2009

But it's Meg Cabot and, as I've said before, I'm terribly weak against her charms.

Really stupid heroine though. Get a clue, girl.

Also, I find the idea of YA romance novels kind of ridiculous.
