Book One in the Masters Saga
by Ginger Voight
Release Date: October 9, 2015
Ginger is VERY excited to share with you her new release "Masters for Hire" Book One in The Masters Saga. Be sure to add to your Goodreads to read list and grab your copy! Don't miss out on the links below to several of Ginger's books that are FREE!


Devlin Masters has one job: to bring a woman's deepest, dirtiest fantasies to life, no judgment, no complications–no regrets. And Devlin Masters is very good at his job.

When Good Girl Coralie Cabot finds this bad boy for hire, she suspects he might bring a little excitement into her boring, conventional life. She has no idea just how intoxicating it could be to meet someone that dedicated to making her lascivious dreams come true.

She only wanted him for a week.

He's about to change her life.

Intended for readers 18+ for graphic sexual content.
In Book One of a sizzling new saga from author Ginger Voight, MASTERS FOR HIRE blurs the line between fantasy and reality with all the drama, angst, sex, and romance that made THE GROUPIE and FULLERTON FAMILY SAGAS beloved amongst her fans.
Intended for readers 18+ for graphic sexual content.



He shrugged out of his jacket as I perched on the sofa to pour us our wine. It was a wonder I didn’t spill it everywhere. I couldn’t wrench my gaze away from his body if I tried. Those broad shoulders… that solid chest…the promise of that bulge in those slim-fitting pants…and for the next couple of hours or so it was all mine, bought and paid for.

My pulse raced as he sat next to me, so close that I became intoxicated on the spicy, woodsy scent of his cologne. I was sure he could see my hand tremble when I handed him his glass.

Those sultry eyes rendered me mute as he stared at me. Finally he raised his glass. “To old friends and new beginnings,” he said in a voice so soft, it felt like an actual caress.

I nodded as I clinked our glasses together. I couldn’t tear my eyes from his supple mouth as he drank. Again, I drained another glass. I reached for the bottle, but Devlin leaned forward to grab my hand. “You’re not going to need that,” he murmured in a low voice that sent a shock wave to my core.

“I’m–I’m not?” I stammered.

He shook his head. My head was floating as high as a cloud as he took the glass from my hand and set it on the coffee table in front of me. He eased back against the couch, capturing my face with his hand. His thumb brushed rhythmically over my cheek as he stared down into my face. “I think I know what you want, Coralie. I definitely know what you need. The question is… do you trust me to give it to you?”

My eyes widened as I stared up at him. Slowly I nodded. I stared at his mouth as it descended towards mine, closing over my lips finally in a soft, sensual kiss. My insides went up just like kindling as his broad tongue parted my lips and darted inside. He tasted like champagne. It only made me feel drunker.

And I blame the alcohol for the wanton way I threw my arms around his neck and kissed this enticing stranger back. I mean, I was only human for crying out loud. This man looked like he just stepped off the cover of a magazine, and here he was kissing me. He was kissing me. Me! His lips on mine, his hands on my body, his tongue penetrating my mouth with all the passion I’d only read about in romance novels. His fingers tangled in my hair as he deeply explored my mouth with that skilled tongue, and I felt my whole body come to life as a response.

I wanted more, and I was in the very unique position to take it, no questions asked.

He held me close, with one broad hand sliding up my side to cup the full curve of my breast. I gasped into his mouth as he thumbed my nipple through the fabric. He pulled away to stare down into my face. “You spent all your life taking care of everyone else, but no one has taken care of you, have they?”

I couldn’t even speak. I just shook my head.

“I’m going to change that,” he promised. “I’m going to change everything.”


**This book is part of a series. Possible spoilers below. Start the journey with Dev and Coralie in MASTERS FOR HIRE, available now!**

They were two completely different people from two completely different worlds. Within two weeks they were married, for better or worse.

Their whirlwind romance did nothing to prepare Devlin and Coralie Masters for what awaited them back at home. Powerful forces outside of their marriage work nonstop to tear them asunder. There is much more to fear than her family learning the truth of how and why they met.

Ultimately his powerful seductive hold over her cannot protect her from these troubling new developments. One thing becomes crystal clear. They may be married, but they’re still strangers.
They love each other. They want each other. They can’t stay away from each other.

But will it be enough?

Hold onto your seats, folks. It’s about to get complicated.

The Groupie Saga titillated you. The Fullerton Family Saga broke your heart. Now, Book Two of the Masters Saga, MASTERS FOR LIFE, turns up all the Ginger Voight angst, drama and sex you’ve grown to love all the way up to eleven. And it’s COMING OCTOBER 30, 2015!
Intended for readers 18+ for graphic sexual content.



Ginger's Lastest Release - A Groupie Saga Prequel
Before the groupies. Before the stardom. He was, simply, Vanni.

Giovanni Carnevale knows what it means to struggle. Since his father abandoned the family when he was a child, Vanni’s been in and out of trouble, trying to carve his place in the world. That all changes when he moves to Brooklyn, to live with his beloved great Aunt Susan.

After introducing Vanni to music, Susan realizes his talent and pushes him to reach his full potential. But her sudden death leaves him adrift, unable to connect with anyone, friends and girlfriends alike. His personal life slowly deteriorating, Vanni focuses on his music and dream of being a rock star. After so many betrayals, he’s determined to keep everyone who might hurt him at arm’s length—at the time people want him the most.

You already know how his story ends. Now read how it begins with VANNI: A PREQUEL.

Ginger Voight is a screenwriter and bestselling author with over twenty published titles in fiction and nonfiction. She covers everything from travel to politics in nonfiction, as well as romance, paranormal, and dark, “ripped from the headlines” topics like Dirty Little Secrets.
Ginger discovered her love for writing in sixth grade, courtesy of a Halloween assignment. From then on, writing became a place of solace, reflection, and security. This was never more true than when she found herself homeless in L.A. at the age of nineteen. There, she wrote her first novel, longhand on notebook paper, while living out of her car.
In 1995, after she lost her nine-day-old son, she worked through her grief by writing the story that would eventually become The Fullerton Family Saga.
In 2011, she embarked on a new journey–to publish romance novels starring heroines who look more like the average American woman. These “Rubenesque” romances have developed a following thanks to her bestselling Groupie series. Other titles, such as the highly-rated New Adult series, Fierce, tap into the “reality-TV” preoccupation in American entertainment, which gives her contemporary stories a current, pop culture edge.
Known for writing gut-twisting angst, Ginger isn’t afraid to push the envelope with characters who are perfectly imperfect. Whether rich, poor, sweet, selfish, gay, straight, plus-size or svelte, her characters are beautifully flawed and three-dimensional. They populate her lavish fictional landscapes and teach us more about the real world in which we live simply through their interactions with each other. Ginger’s goal with every book is to give the reader a little bit more than they were expecting, told through stories they’ll never forget.

Blog Tour Review & Giveaway ~ Dear Juliet ~ Trudy Stiles


Happy Release Day, Trudy Stiles!
Dear Juliet releases *today* and will be on sale for 2 days for 
**ONLY 99 CENTS**

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Dear Juliet by Trudy Stiles. My stop includes all the details about the book and the Forever Family Series, as well as a trailer, and a giveaway!

Dear Juliet
Forever Family #3
Release Date: April 20, 2015
Genre: Adult, Contemporary Romance
Source: I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review
Rating: 4.5 Bookworms
Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ B&N ~ Kobo ~ iTunes

Synopsis
I lost her. 
I thought she was the love of my life.
She was everything I needed. Everything I wanted.
She made me forget about my past. My family.
She made me feel real.
Can I find someone else?
It's time to pick up the pieces and move on.
But can I?
I'm Seth Tyson and this is my story.
I deserve a happily ever after, don't I?








Dear Juliet is the third book in the Forever Family Series and if you missed my reviews of Dear Emily or Dear Tabitha, you can read them by clicking on the titles.

With Dear Juliet, Stiles comes full circle with all the characters we've met in the Forever Family series. This was a poignant and remarkably told story. It tied together all the plot threads and left me very satisfied.

After meeting Seth in the two previous novels, I had mixed feelings about him. I felt for him in some ways but in others, I was unsure about him. I appreciated getting his backstory in Dear Juliet. To know about his childhood, his family history, the loss he suffered -- it all enabled me to get a better understanding of him. I also enjoyed the history between Seth and Juliet. Seeing the progression of their friendship over the years added an organic feel to the story.

Juliet broke my heart. She had a wonderful and loving family and home as an adopted child. But she had trouble with feeling accepted and wanted because of being adopted. Luckily, she'd always had Seth and another boy, Jeremy, as her best friends by her side. However, when she suffers a catastrophic loss, it sends her into a downward spiral that she has trouble pulling herself out of.

This story was so heartwarming. And it wasn't until reading Dear Juliet that I connected all the dots and realized what Stiles did with this series. She tied together the stories of a family who adopted a child, a family who gave up children for adoption, and a girl who was adopted. She did so deftly and in a way that had me emotionally invested in all their stories. Seeing how adoption affects all those involved was enlightening. There was one thing Stiles did in Dear Juliet that I wasn't sold on. However, after reading her afterword, where she explained why she did this thing, it made sense to me. And that's one thing I like so much about Stiles' writing -- it's so real. The situations, the emotions, the reactions, etc., are all realistically conveyed. I am thrilled that all the characters I've met found their forever families.
