Victoria and the Rogue

De: Meg Cabot

Narrado por: Serena Gordon

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.©2004 Meg Cabot; (P)2004 Random House, Inc.

Abridged but sneakily doesn’t say it is.

I was listening and reading the book together for my adhd and noticed that it would skip full paragraphs and sentences. Very disappointing that they didn’t put it somewhere on the page that this was an abridged audio book.
