Fierce Kindle Edition
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. Adult content intended for readers 18+.

About the authors
"Ginger has the amazing ability to write in a variety of genres, from hot romance to straight horror to hilarious comedy, which is a talent few writers possess. Some of Ginger's work is bold and sometimes uncomfortable, because she often deals with issues many of us would rather turn away from. Yet in other works, she gives us one hell of a good time with characters you can never forget once you've met them!" - writer/producer Marie D. Jones, Where's Lucy? Productions
Ginger Voight is a screenwriter and bestselling author with nearly thirty published novels. Having covered everything from travel to politics as a nonfiction freelancer, she is unafraid to explore multiple genres like romance, paranormal, and dark, "ripped from the headlines" mainstream fiction with surprising depth.
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, curvy 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.
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2013A few years ago I was at my sons' elementary school Olympic Day. A group of boys started to "cheer" on a girl as she slowly made her way around a makeshift running track. "Go fatty go" they chanted as she passed by. I was horrified that these savages thought it was ok to say this. I remember looking at her face knowing this poor girl will remember this s***ty moment in time. WTF? Ginger Voight's latest book Fierce resurrected that day for me. Jordi Hemphill is overweight and has a larger than life singing voice (I picture her as Adele). Not a day goes by that Jordi is reminded that she is tipping the scales. After years of obese abuse she picks up and leaves her depressing life in Iowa to try and make it as a singer in Hollywood. Jordi is picked to be a contestant on a new reality TV show called Fierce. Fierce is "American Idol" for contestants who don't look like your typical pop princess or rock God. Jordi meets and slowly falls for Jace Riga, one of her fellow contestants. Jace is an Iraq war veteran who lost his leg to a roadside bomb. Jordi's opportunist mom and her "boyfriend" Eddie thrust themselves back into her life to use her new found stardom as their own fat meal ticket. Eddie earned a top spot on my list of "Uber Sadist DBags" with comments that include:
"Who do you think they're going to vote for, Jordi? And who are they going to laugh at?"
"Look at you, Jordi. Really look at yourself. You have all these people telling you how wonderful you are when you're nothing more than a fat, disgusting pig. And you know that deep down."
While trying to juggle the stress of appearing on a TV reality show, her mom, Eddie, a witch diet coach and Jace... her anxiety levels rise as well as the numbers on her scale. Jordi continues to self-medicate by eating and falls ill on stage. Will she make it to next week? American tunes in to watch. Fierce is filled with so many sweet and sour emotional moments. I felt myself wanting to devour a bag of chips, a few chocolate bars and a gallon of soda along with Jordi. Her story is heartbreaking and such an emotional journey. Ginger Voight is rock star of a writer and story teller. I felt every ounce of pain and the dietetic pieces of happiness Jordi felt while reading this book. Four and half fat loving stars. Fierce can be read as a stand-alone even though it picks up from Mogul (book #3 in the Groupie series). The Groupie series is a MUST READ on its own. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series (please tell me you will Make it Happen GV).

- Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2014I just finished Fierce. Like others, I liked the story, but found it frustrating at times when the main female character wasn't able to stand up for herself. I had to remind myself many times that the character was 18, was used to being dumped on, and she found it easier to "obey" than to stand up for herself. This is about a journey she has to make and things within herself that she has to overcome, along with all of the outside negativity that comes her way.
I do have one complaint. The editing. There are a couple of places where words are out of place, or completely wrong words are used (for instance, instead of say "He", the word "We" was used, and another that stands out is forgetting that she was referring to right and left and left the sentence hanging.) I'm noticing this happening in the second book, Unstoppable, as well. For me, as an avid reader, stuff like this actually interrupts the reading experience. When I have to stop and insert the correct word (or the correct spelling so the word has the correct meaning), or stop to decipher the sentence, I get a little annoyed. I know mistakes get made, but this is all through the first book, and as mentioned, also happening in the second.
Regardless of my complaint, I am looking forward to seeing what happens in Unstoppable.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2014556 Book Chicks instantly fall in love...
I totally loved this book from the start. I think after the first chapter I was totally engrossed in Fierce and everything it had to offer. No second guessing it - I was all in...
What did I love...every darn thing! But I especially loved that Jordi was far from perfect. Not blonde, not blue eyed, not a size 4, not dropped dead gorgeous...Jordi was in a battle with her weight every day since she was 6 years old. As a woman I can totally relate to Jordi! It made her real and who the hell doesn't love real? #FanGirl #TeamJordi #JordiRocks! You get the point I'm sure! LOL!
The Characters...are written so freaking well in this book. You will love them all, well some of them you will hate! You could actually visualize the characters - that's how well they were written. I don't know the last time I read a book where I loved so many of the characters. I have to say besides Jordi - Corey and Jace were two of my absolute favorites. And even though I hated Eddie and Jordi's mom, I have to give Ginger Voight kudos for writing their selfish behinds so well. Anytime you get a hand clap for writing a hated main character so well - you know you have written one heck of a book!
One of My Favorite Moments...was when Jordi sang the National Anthem at her live audition for the Fierce television show. She was inspired by Jace's story and she just let them have it. This scene was so powerful you could feel it and see her singing...'There was no one else on stage I had to worry about overshadowing with my big, booming voice; this was truly my first time to really shine. I blasted down the rafters in ways that would have made my mother scowl with disdain all the way from Iowa. I got teary as I finished, and didn't even realize the people in the auditorium had sprung to their feet. I had given only myself, and was encouraged and rewarded with the applause of my equally talented peers. Even in this group of budding superstars, there was room for me. It was the first time that I felt there had been room for me anywhere. Finally I had been Jordi...and it had been enough.' (Tears)
I am watching for...Shelby in Book #2. Why? Because I don't know if she is playing both sides of the fence. Someone is trying to help Eddie bring Jordi down, and I want to know who the heck it is. And I could totally be wrong about Shelby, but for right now I am watching her.
If you haven't figured it out by now this book gave me life honey! Life with two snaps and a neck roll! I freaking loved this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow
Ginger Voight knows how to writes stories that you can't put down. This book was amazing. I was a massive fan of the groupie series and this has been on TBR forever, I'm so glad I finally took the chance and read this

5.0 out of 5 stars what a great read
I downloaded this as it was free and wasn't disappointed. A young girl with a weight problem who felt that she didn't fit in with the world and how society sees "the norm" A roller coaster of a book which had me gripped from the start. This is the first book of three and I'm now reading book two which is equally a must if you enjoy this
- AmandaReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2014
5.0 out of 5 stars Heart breaking, yet inspirational at the same time
Well I found this heart breaking, yet inspirational at the same time. Some of the feelings in this story were a bit too close to home, but I found I couldn't put it down and I'm desperately championing for Jace to get his woman.
Eddie is one nasty piece of work and I hope Jordi can find a way out, onto book 2 now, highly recommended
- Kelsey's Korner BlogReviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2013
5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner
Once again Ginger gives us a brilliant touching inspiring book that tugs at your heartstrings. For anyone that has had a weight "problem" and has tried to "fit into normality" you will relate to it all. Ginger never fails. She is an amazing author an inspiration.
