Beautiful Wild

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."

"Mystery, romance, jealousy, betrayal, humor, and gorgeous, historically accurate details. I couldn't put The Luxe down!"

"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."

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

"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
