His eyes were rimmed
red when they met mine. "I die inside every time he touches you, and
there's nothing I can do about it. You've made it clear that you're
going to go on with this sham of a marriage, no matter who it hurts in
the process. You lie to everyone, Jordi, including the people you're
supposed to love the most. And I just can't take it anymore. This is not
the way I want to live my life."
"I thought I was worth it," I mumbled.
"You have no idea what you're worth," he said softly. "That's the problem."

This is the first series I have read by Ginger, and I have
to say, I’m now going to have to buy all of her other books and read them,
because I thought this book was awesome!
What I liked best about this book can be summed up in one
word: Jordi. She’s so amazing. I say we need more plus size women portrayed
in books, since the average woman is a size 14.
Jordi has all the insecurities of a normal woman; she self-doubting, but
it’s mixed with a confidence and swagger that just makes you love her. It made me love her, anyway. She’s unapologetic for who she is, even if
she’s plagued with insecurity at times.
She wants love but pushes it away at the same time…she’s in a place that
many people can identify with.
And Jace. Oh…Jace
Riga. Wounded war veteran with a voice
like butter and with an unfailing love for Jordi just as she is. He’s a great hero. You’re going to love him.
So, this book is the continuation of the story from
“Fierce”. It’s filled with angst, love, desire,
mayhem…it’s a wild ride. It also brings
together a lot of the themes introduced in “Fierce”, which makes it a very
satisfying read in that respect.
Personally, I love it when it all just seems to come together, and that
is definitely where this series is headed.
Ginger Voight is definitely a talented author. Girlfriend can write. She manages to really engage the reader in
the characters and their stories. Even
the scumbag characters (*cough* Eddie *cough*) still reel you in, and you
become invested in their lives and where it’s all going. I think this is a great story with great
characters, and I give it 4 very impressed stars!
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, THE GROUPIE TRILOGY, FIERCE 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.
