Beautiful Wild

Beschreibung

You are invited to set sail on the maiden voyage of the
SS Princess of the Pacific in this indulgent historical romance from Anna
Godbersen, the New York Times bestselling author of The Luxe series.

High society intrigue and deliciously shocking scandals meet a gripping fight for survival in this sweeping romance, sure to thrill fans of Kiera Cass and Katie McGee.
Vida Hazzard can see her future: aboard the heralded "Millionaire's
Ship of the West," she'll charm the young scion Fitzhugh Farrar, resulting in a
proposal of marriage.

But Vida didn't plan on Fitz's best friend Sal, a
rough-around-the-edges boy with a talent for getting under her skin. Nor did
she anticipate a hurricane dashing their ship to pieces, along with her dreams.

Stranded on an island with both Fitz and Sal, Vida is torn
between the life she's always planned for, and a future she's never dared to
want. As they desperately plot a course for home, Vida will discover just which
boy can capture her wild heart-and where her future truly lies.

Rezensionen

"As adventure and romance unfold away from the repressive social norms of the early 20th century, Vida discovers not just her true love, but for the first time, a true sense of self...A sweeping page-turner." - Kirkus Reviews

"Lush language manages to convey the mores of a Titanic-tinged world while moving the story at a brisk pace that will keep contemporary readers engaged." - Publishers Weekly

Praise for The Luxe series: "A big, sumptuous tale of catty girls, dark secrets and windswept romance unfurls in this compulsively readable novel of late-19th century New York City socialites...Readers will clamor for this sharp, smart drama of friends, lovers, lies and

betrayal."
- Kirkus Reviews

"Skillfully plotted and full of decadent detail. Godbersen captures the drawing-room sensibilities and society flair of Wharton, Thackeray, and James without burdening readers with their posh literariness or social critique."
- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Praise for WHEN WE CAUGHT FIRE: "The action-packed ending leads to an apogee that will appeal to lovers of soap operas. Danielle Steele for the younger set." - Kirkus Reviews

"A steamy romance set amid the tragic Chicago fire of 1871 that will intrigue fans of dramatic, swoony historical fiction." - School Library Journal
