Synopsis of Books One to Three (Groupie, Rock Star and Mogul)

When Andy Foster met the sexy frontman of an up-and-coming rock band, the most she could imagine was a steamy stolen night of passion. But her attraction to Giovanni Carnevale hit her like a bolt of lightning. Soon she was traipsing all over the country, an unintentional groupie, finding herself thrust into his path even when she knew it was a very bad idea. Over four years their romance would encounter indiscretions, crazed stalkers and the interloping paparazzi, keeping these star-crossed lovers circling around a happily ever after they can never quite catch.

In author Ginger Voight's beloved "Groupie" trilogy, three books explore the passionate and angst-driven tale of Andy and Vanni. The third and final book, "Mogul," picks up the emotional roller-coaster begun in "Groupie" and "Rock Star." The saga that began with that first meeting in Philadelphia races to an explosive conclusion on the opposite coast, as Andy and Vanni are on the verge of getting everything they ever wanted. Everything blows literally to pieces, forcing Vanni - and Graham - to risk it all for the sake of love.

This is your backstage pass to find out why readers, reviewers and bloggers have fallen for a love story that was never supposed to happen.

In Mogul, Author Ginger Voight turns up the scandals, secrets, passion and heartbreak to 11. Flawed characters face excess and all the pitfalls that entails.

Disclaimer: This series features a hero you might find you love to hate, a heroine you may want to slap, and frustrating triangles with dubious fidelity. Those who cannot abide "cheaters," who need their bad boys to be mostly good, or who must have a HEA at the end of each book, may be advised to look elsewhere.

My Review:

The third and final book in the Groupie/Rock Star series, Mogul picks up just as Vanni and Andy embark on their new life together.  It’s a new life filled with remnants of the old life as Vanni continues to face the consequences of the horrible decisions he had made in the past. There are pitfalls associated with his notoriety that threaten to once again, pull the couple apart.

I read the Groupie/Rock Star books as a bundle late last year and I enjoyed them immensely. Rounding up the series with Mogul just makes so much sense. In the previous books, we experienced a love between Vanni and Andy that was so flawed and so human that it took us on a journey of emotional twists and turns. Vanni’s childhood experiences fueled his tendency to shy away from commitment and stop at nothing to prove himself in the music industry. Through it all, Andy’s love for him was consistent and steadfast.

In Book 3, we see the tide turn as Vanni now commits to showing Andy his love and devotion no matter what the cost. As the outside forces of celebrity, temptation and betrayal try to get between them, he remains fiercely protective about finally being able to give Andy the life that they waited for so long to have together.

Ginger Voight’s writing is not only fluent but so expressive and moving as well. The passage of time and events that mark the milestones in Vanni and Andy’s relationship are narrated so vividly that you can actually visualize the development of their bond and connection with one another. There are many touching moments in this book that allow us a glimpse straight into the hearts of Vanni and Andy. These moments are pure tenderness.  I especially loved the series because of the author’s resolve to step outside of the box and break the mold on the stereotyped rock star romance. All throughout the book, we hear descriptions of Andy as being on the plump side, yet we focus on the fact that she is strong and confident, honest and loyal.  We are also allowed into the core of a man who swore never to repeat the mistakes of his father, and yet finds himself abandoning the women in his life just like his father did. In the end, however, these imperfect qualities are what inspire Vanni and Andy to cast away their doubts, accept their heart’s desire and risk it all to show the world that they belong together.

The cast of characters from the first two books are back, each one with a story of their own to tell. More than just a love story between a rock star and a writer, Mogul is a coming of age story for Vanni, Andy, Graham, Maggie and even Holly. Ginger Voight cleverly wraps things up in the form of catharsis for each one of them, all seeking happiness and finding peace and closure through their friendship and love for one another.

 Mogul is the perfect conclusion to a story about two people who found a love so strong and true that despite being at the wrong time and in all the wrong places, it manages to prevail. It is a lesson about finding out who you are and staying true to your heart.  It’s been a long and arduous road to get to Andy’s happy ending, and through it all, she has loved unconditionally since the first time she laid eyes on her rock star. And despite the convoluted journey that Vanni had to take to find his way back, he finally gets there, he finally has…..Her. And there’s no place he’d rather be, no woman he’d rather love, no life he’d rather live than the chance he now has of a life with Andy. 

“I never believed in forever, till I fell in love with you. Now that we’re together babe, only forever will do.” 

Meet Ginger Voight

Ginger Voight is prolific author, freelance writer and optioned screenwriter. Her fiction is diverse, with novels like the edgy, coming-of-age drama DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS, and the fun family adventure for kids of all ages, COMIC SQUAD.

Having grown up reading different authors like Danielle Steel and Stephen King, Ginger has always been drawn more to story than to genre. This shows up in her various stories. Titles such as MY IMMORTAL and TASTE OF BLOOD are a delicious, heady mix of horror, suspense, and romance.

Genre romance, however, has held a special place in her heart, ever since she read her first Harlequin novel when she was only eleven. As a result, Ginger is making a name for herself writing romances of her own, starring women who look more like the average American woman rather than those traditionally represented in the size-biased American media. Her Rubenesque romances were created especially for those heroines with fuller figures, who can still get the man of their dreams if only they believe they can. Such titles include UNDER TEXAS SKIES, LOVE PLUS ONE, GROUPIE and PICTURE POSTCARDS.

Ginger was included in the best-selling book by Smith Magazine NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS PLANNING, featuring her six-word memoir.
