It's all the angst and the passion you desire, with several familiar faces from the beloved GROUPIE universe along the way!

NOW AVAILABLE
When Jonah Riley’s father dies unexpectedly, he, his grieving mother and ailing sister are forced to move from the country to Austin, Texas. Jonah finds work at an auspicious night spot called Southern Nights, where he earns a few extra bucks as a bouncer-turned-musician.
There he meets fiery songstress Lacy Abernathy, who has no use for him or anyone else in the club when she’s not on stage. This is an entirely new experience for this ladies’ man. The opportunistic club owner latches onto this chemistry to fill her club, playing with their hearts and livelihoods for her own questionable motives.
Enter music executive Graham Baxter, who offers them both a way out…by competing for a recording contract they both need. Now if only they can fight the intense chemistry that keeps them locked in battle, when they're not locked in each other's arms, that is!
REVIEW:
Review for Southern Rocker Boy (Southern Rocker 1) by Ginger Voight
Review done for Hooked on Books
4 out of 5 stars
Jonah Riley grew up on a small farm in Texas with his Mom, Dad, and sister. When his Dad is killed in a freak accident, him and his family have to sell the farm and move into Austin.
Now being the man of the family, Jonah has to work to help pay mounting medical bills for his sister as well as their daily living costs.
After taking a job at a local bar called Southern Nights, he meets Lacy Abernathy, a local singer. They have immediate chemistry, but she is totally closed off.
Through music, they grow closer to each other. Music has always been Lacy’s dream. Jonah soon realizes that he has talent as a singer as well as they start playing in a band together.
Unfortunately, competition for money and fame start to push them away from each other. Fame comes with a high cost and they struggle to be true to themselves and each other.
This was a great story. The characters were very realistic. It was nice to see the hot sexy, male as an average guy for a change.
I can’t wait to read more about this couple in book 2. I definitely recommend this book!
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, THE FIERCE TRILOGY, THE FULLERTON FAMILY SAGA, THE LEFTOVER CLUB 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.
