, but I highly recommend that you do spend the time to read the Groupie Series.
Below is a quick review of the three series and a Goodreads Blurb of Fierce.
All her life, Jordi Hemphill was told that she needed to change to fit in and be accepted. She talked too much, laughed too loud, and most definitely, indisputably and inexcusably weighed too much. In fact, she wore her size-20+ clothes without so much as an apology. She didn’t care to fit in. She didn’t want to be beautiful. Instead, she wanted to wear her hair in funky colors, she itched for tattoos and piercings, and dreamed of a life much bigger than working at the local Burger Palace for minimum wage. She had been born with the voice of a superstar, and something inside her told her it was OK to dream big, even if she had to do it in secret.
On her eighteenth birthday, she takes every last cent she has and buys a one-way ticket for Los Angeles. She is sure her talent will get her noticed by those more open-minded to see it. Then and only then will she show all the naysayers in her hometown that she was a somebody no matter what they thought.
Unfortunately Los Angeles wasn’t any more welcoming. Jordi didn’t fit into their pop machine no matter how well she sang. Other pop princess had the “full package,” whereas Jordi still needed to change if she wanted her dreams to come true. It took a plus-size TV producer to take a chance on her, casting her for a reality talent show called “Fierce,” which put attitude and talent far above the traditional pop star image.
Thanks to Giovanni Carnevale, the lead singer of “Dreaming in Blue” and “Fierce’s” rock star judge, Jordi gets a chance to fight for her place on a national stage.
But will America embrace this alternative diva? Or will they too expect her to conform in order to be accepted… to be loved? Despite the acceptance of new friends and supporters, old ghosts continue to haunt Jordi on her new journey. It will take handsome fellow contestant, Jace Riga, to finally help expose and exorcise the demons that drive her self-destruction.
“Fierce” continues the story introduced in the Ginger Voight novel, “Mogul,” where Jordi joins a hodge-podge of other contestants to battle for the championship that dares every single hopeful to live large, to be FIERCE.
Ginger Voight, the author of the best-selling “Groupie” series, brings fame once again to the forefront with her new adult story, “Fierce.” The characters you grew to love in the “Groupie” trilogy and “Love Plus One” are back to help the incomparable Jordi Hemphill carve a place for herself as a pop princess despite the odds in this coming-of-age Rubenesque romance
Sounds so good right.. American Idiol meets The Voice..

Groupie the Series; A Rock Star Trilogy
I give this series 5 stars!
✩✩✩✩✩
This review will cover the entire three part series of “Groupie”. Just yesterday, I got this last yummy installment of the series called “Mogul”. I was waiting for the last book, and I was oh so happy with the finished product. This story starts off with a lady named Andy who’s an up and coming writer, who was asked to cover this new up and coming band. Of course, she falls in love and the roller coaster begins. It was a page turner; I did not know where this story was going. I rolled my eyes so much at Vanni, I thought my eyes were going to come out – he was working my last nerve with his decisions. I will not give the book away, but it was like you wanted to walk away from the book but you just couldn’t because you had to know what was next.
This story had all the ups and downs and gut busting moments; I definitely enjoyed the series. If you like bad boy rock stars with not the typical leading lady, this is the book for you. I was up all night trying to finish “Mogul” and finished in a day – I just could not but it down. So, if you have not read the first book and plan to, carve our three days of reading because you will not want to stop.
The author also had done it again and at the end of “Mogul” you will be introduced to her new book series that kinda spins off from this trilogy can’t wait to read that one too.
Book order: Groupie is on sale for only .99 cents
