About the author
Ginger Voight
60 books711 followersGinger 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.

5+++++++ Gut Wrenching, Ugly Cry Stars
This book/series absolutely gutted me. I spent the last two hour of this book having one of the worst ugly cries I've ever had over a book. This series is the ULTIMATE love triangle where you find yourself not being able to hate anyone of the three characters involved, all the while knowing in you gut that something absolutely horrific is going to happen and it will not result in a happy ending for anyone.

How did she do it? How did Ginger take my pre conceived views of two brothers and turn them around in this final book of the trilogy. I loved both Drew and Alex and Rachel was one wonderful gutsy strong woman. I too joined all the other readers of these books with ugly sobbing tears. Ginger just knows how to weave a wonderful story with some truly heart wrenching moments. As with her Groupie series another 5 star read for me.

5+++ One of my all-time favorite Stars
ONE OF MY BEST READ IN 2015. AMMAZZZING. But I'm a bit tortured and shreded into bits. Anyone who read this series will know why because since the first page of the first book to the last page of book 3, I was rooting for the "one" and that biggest twist really punched me in the gut and I can't help but blurted "F-U-C-K"!
And Ginger Voight is one hell of a storyteller! Salut!>

5 I freaking love this series Stars!!
This is one of those books that I can't openly discuss without giving away key points in the story. So this is review is hard for me to write and get my feelings out, so here goes nothing.
I was scared to start Enraptured after finishing Entangled because of the little snippet in the back of the book. And I was correct in my assumption to be scared. This book was brutal on my poor heart! But you know what? I'm a masochist, and I love when a book evokes so much emotion that I feel it in my bones!!
This entire series blew me away as I was not expecting to read what I did. I was already a huge fan of Ginger Voight from her Groupie series(if you haven't met Giovanni Carnevale your totally missing out) and couldn't wait to start this new series. And I love that Vanni made an appearance in this series. From the start of Enticed I knew I was going to fall in love with this story, and I did fall HARD!
This series is a must read and is 5+++ stars for me!

i started reading this series with hope that the main character will be good, hope that the love triangle that was speculated in the blurb would make me want to know more. And if the first book made me like Rachel and her relationship with Jonathan, the second and third one made me see her as a door mat with too many issues of her own.
I couldn't keep up with her emotions until the end, and it very well could be me that's not getting the whole story here.
The first book follows the story of Rachel, a very good teacher, who accepts a job as a private teacher to a very troubled kid.
She, eventually finds herself in a middle of a family crises and on top of all, she falls in love with the boss: Drew.
The second book is about her relationship with Alex, Drew's brother. Due to some traumatic past events, those two don't get along.
After the way the first book ended, Rachel is now living with Alex and, guess what? She falls in love with him. It's not spoiling anything as long as it's predictable.
The third book was a little stretched, in my opinion, and brings Drew back with Rachel only to get a weird ending.
it could have been good if the author would have chosen to leave out the many sub-plots. but, that's just me. i'm sure most of the readers will find the third book as enticing as the first two ones.
Happy reading! :)

*****5- Heartsick, Broken and Pissed off -Stars*****
~this review contains spoilers from books 1 and 2~
Someone had to be the hero and land on the grenade. Someone had to be vulnerable and risk it all. And I suppose it would have to be me. This was my family now, and I was going to do my damnedest to heal it, one wounded Fullerton as a time.
Why?! That same question has been on repeat in my head over and over and over since I finished this book. Why?! Ginger, WHY?! I waited a full day after finishing the book before even attempting to write up this review and I'm still not sure how I'm gonna get through it without completely losing my shit. I should have know, I did know, that there was a real good chance this book was going to destroy me-between the blurbs leading up to this final installment and that terrifying little sneak peak at the end of Entangled....I wasn't wrong to be worried, typing this up days later and I'm still in an emotional tailspin. If I could hunt down Ms. Ginger Voight I would hug her, beat her with my pitchfork, then cry on her shoulder. I can't remember the last time a book has affected me like this, so I guess no matter how I feel about how it all went down at the end, there is no denying Ginger Voight is an amazing author for bring such strong emotions out of me through her pen alone. This review is going to be very difficult for me, so I'm going to keep it brief.
“I've wanted you since that day on the beach, when I felt your soft, supple body beneath mine. So soft, so warm. I knew then I wanted to lose myself within you. But you made me wait long arduous months to love you, and then you made me wait an entire year to marry you. But you're mine now. By God if I'm waiting another day.”
Enraptured picks up right on the tail of Entangled, Rachel has just married Drew and their off on their honeymoon. Rachel may have chosen Drew, but her heart still lies with Alex. Drew knew going into this that her was going to have to give her some time to get used to her new circumstances, and he does. We really get to see a whole new side of Drew as he takes care of his pregnant wife and helps her through her morning sickness. But he's always been a man who goes after what he wants, and what he wants is Rachel. Now he just has to get her to get on-board the newlywed train.
“All I've ever wanted was for you to be my wife and my queen. Look around you, Rachel. I'm ready to move heaven and earth to make you happy. Seems to me the only one playing games here is you. You wear my ring, you took my name... yet you withhold your affection to keep control over me, an infernal carrot on a stick to make me beg like a dog. It is an endless, fruitless quest to win your favor and make up for my multitude of sins. Who, really, is manipulating whom?”
Rachel knows she's not being fair to Drew or herself by holding back, so she decides to grab hold of her new role as Mrs. Andrew J. Fullerton and embrace it. She will do whatever she has to do to repair her new, yet broken family, one Fullerton at a time, for her children and all their futures.
“No one else was willing to sacrifice their own selfish needs to help me fortify this family into what it could be. That all changed with you, Rachel. You're the only one who has the emotional strength and integrity to do what needs to be done to strengthen the family unit as a whole. It is why you married me, is it not?”
Attempting to bring Alex back into the family is just one of many problems. Drew's jealousy over their former relationship proves volatile, but Alex isn't going anywhere. He's finally prepared to take his place as a Fullerton within the family's company for the simple fact that he's scared for his family. He knows some of Drew's business associates are dealing in some very seedy practices and life as they know it has become more than a little dangerous. Working together to protect their family and secure their legacy, no one could have ever known how drastically their lives are about the change. When the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same again.
“I can't leave you again. Not when the stakes are this high.”
“Seems like the stakes have been high ever since I opened Drew's first email.”
I loved the transformation this family has taken since this whole journey started, the biggest being Drew. He has changed so much from the manipulative, sometimes cold, man we first meet til the end here. Those letters were....well, lets just say my understanding of Drew and my love for him reached all new levels in this book -I have been 'TEAM DREW' since book one and this just solidified that. I cannot talk about the ending, I just can't. Let's just say it's not at all what I expected, I am not happy, not even a little bit, not at all, in fact-I'm pissed as HELL and leave it at that. Anything else I say would give it all away and......just read it. But do yourself a favor and grab some damn tissues, a whole friggin box...and a pitchfork, you will need them.
“You've given my life meaning from the very day you walked into it. I always thought I was some master of the universe, but you raised the bar on my life. You push me and drive me to be a better father and a better man. I can't imagine my life without you or our children, each and every one. I would give my life to make you happy, to give you the life...and the love...you deserve. I love you, Rachel.”

The conclusion to this messed up love triangle did not disappoint. I am going to praise author Ginger Voight, never have I read a book or series where I have hated all the main characters at one point or another. I love, liked, became frustrated with or out & out hated Drew, Rachel, and Alex at one point or another in this series. That said that makes this series even better. The writing, the story line, the cast of character made this a must read series for me.
4 stars.

Enraptured is book three in Ginger Voight’s Fullerton Family Saga series. You must read Enticed and Entangled before reading Enraptured.
I’ve been a huge fan of this series. As soon as this book showed up on my kindle I instantly dropped what I was reading to start this. Going into this book, I knew something big was going to happen, it’s not like I went in blind. But..But..But…WAAAAHHHHHHH! Why Ginger, WHHHHHYYY? You just gutted me! I was an emotional mess! I pretty much choose the Team I was on from the very beginning, this guy….this guy, did some pretty crappy things, and just when he finally redeems himself BAM! But dang Ginger….here’s the thing, she had me switching back and forth between the guys! I liked the other brother too. They each had qualities that I loved. 5 stars.
(In most of my reviews I give a summary of the story, but I will not do this because I do not want to ruin any of this book for the reader.)
Let’s talk about the characters; this is a fictional family that feels real. You have the brothers, Drew and Alex, who are like night and day. They have fallen out but are working on their relationship and slowly trying to rebuild it. Rachel, the woman in between the two, who still has insecurities but has grown so much as a character and gotten stronger, and boy is she ever good with Jonathan and Alex’s son. I just loved how with every challenge they face, they still manage to get through and work together for the children. Oh and the sexual tension in this series….it’s still on fire!
This is a beautifully written series and a fantastic ending. Enraptured will have you hanging on to every word until the very end. Emotional, heartbreaking, devastating….Ginger makes you feel sooooo many emotions, and even though you still ache, she somehow puts you back together again.

OMG!!! This series was AWESOME AWESOME!!
I couldn't stop reading! I read up til 2:30am on Saturday morning because I couldn't put the book down and just had to find out what happened next
When I started and at the end of Bk1 I hated Drew I really did! And all I wanted was for Alex to be the Hero!
But as I read on and discovered what he had to go through, I was just so sad and just wanted to Hold poor Drew and then that ending!! WTH!!!
I was just crying and poor poor Jonathan, he just had to be such a strong person to keep going every time something went wrong.
I have to say that this 3bks had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, cause you never knew what was going to happen.
Lots of drama/love/angst/emotion and so much more.
READ IT!
To my friend Nas, Yes I am stating this and saying that YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!!! :-)

I'm giving The Fullerton Family Saga by Ginger Voight -- 6 stars!!! Yes, you heard me... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Though I'm a big fan of The Vampire Diaries --- the Salvatore brothers rivalry --- I can't say the same for any book series. Just merely 24 hours ago, I was a non-believer at family dramas and look where I am right now!!! Well, shut the front door but I'm too overwhelmed by Ginger Voight's amazing storytelling skills.. And to my surprise, I'm completely inlove with the Fullerton Family Saga. It's my best trilogy to date.
I had my fair share of having rollercoaster of emotions reading all 3 books in 1 day. I just cannot put it down... And so, without further ado, here's my book review:
I knew the moment I started reading "Enticed" that this is one hell of brother-rivalry and I was imagining that Damon and Stephan Salvatore were my lead cast, but hey... I wasn't aware the heroine of this story would make such an impact.
The heroine, is Rachel Dennehy, and is one of those plus-size woman. Well I couldn't care less about the weight issue but hell yeah... What an amazing character. She definitely climbed her way up in my top fictional heroines list. I loved her entirely in Book 1, but I gotta say I hated her so much in Book 2 (Entangled)... She made my heart broke for the Fullerton brothers. In Book 3 (Enraptured), she redeemed herself and I'm so in awe by her courage and loving nature. She's the strongest female character I've encountered I must say... At the moment.
And then there's Jonathan Fullerton --- the most wonderful 10 year old boy I can't help but adore. He has an old soul, very smart, and a lovable kid indeed. Well you know it, if a story involves kids --- then it sure is a piece of novelty.
Like I've said... This is a sibling rivalry. Meet the Drew and Alex Fullerton. They both hold a special place in my heart (... Well, I've got a favorite though)... And never in my entire life to be so entangled with fictional family drama but hey... I'm all smiles and tears baby. I liked Alex... He was simply amazing. But in Book 2... I had mixed emotions.
But you all have to know, I was TEAM DREW right from the very beginning. Don't we all love the angry, evil, manipulating, and crazily handsome older brother?... Oh God... That is just DREW. He was so bad... I cried that he was so ruthless and beyond repair but it's amazing what love can truly do. Rachel will always be a miracle and it's a joy to learn that she has cracked all the walls Drew has built to hide his raw feelings. I loved that he cared about his son so much and that he is willing to do everything for Jonathan. And likewise for Rachel. Deep in my heart... Always knew DREW is the one.
I'm lost for words over the ending. I'm bawling my eyes like a baby. Oh God... I love Drew Fullerton so much. I died along with him minutes ago..

She's the strongest female character I've encountered I must say... At the moment.
And then there's Jonathan Fullerton --- the most wonderful 10 year old boy I can't help but adore. He has an old soul, very smart, and a lovable kid indeed. Well you know it, if a story involves kids --- then it sure is a piece of novelty.
Like I've said... This is a sibling rivalry. Meet the Drew and Alex Fullerton. They both hold a special place in my heart (... Well, I've got a favorite though)... And never in my entire life to be so entangled with fictional family drama but hey... I'm all smiles and tears baby. I liked Alex... He was simply amazing. But in Book 2... I had mixed emotions.
But you all have to know, I was TEAM DREW right from the very beginning. Don't we all love the angry, evil, manipulating, and crazily handsome older brother?... Oh God... That is just DREW. He was so bad... I cried that he was so ruthless and beyond repair but it's amazing what love can truly do. Rachel will always be a miracle and it's a joy to learn that she has cracked all the walls Drew has built to hide his raw feelings. I loved that he cared about his son so much and that he is willing to do everything for Jonathan. And likewise for Rachel. Deep in my heart... Always knew DREW is the one.
I'm lost for words over the ending. I'm bawling my eyes like a baby. Oh God... I love Drew Fullerton so much. I died along with him minutes ago..

Epic Story!
I can't decide if this was the best or the worst trilogy I've read to date. Best because it intrigued me on to each page. Worst because the story was pure soap opera. And, the ending drove me over the edge to emotional sobbing. I never read this type of story. But, I was hooked from page one because it was delightfully different from what I usually read. If I knew I would be crying at the end I probably would not have read the series.
The Heroine. Can you be in love with two men? The twists and turns in the story kept me in anticipation to who would be the man in the heroines’ HEA. I will say for most of the story I didn't care for this heroines character, I thought she was an idiot. She could psychoanalyze everyone but herself.
The Heroes. I can't talk about the heroes because I'm still crying!
This author sure can write an epic story. And, she must have been a fan of soap operas. Because the title should have been Fullerton Family Soap Opera not Fullerton Family Saga.
The truth is I loved this author’s story until the very end. It had drama, suspense, love in all shapes and sizes, anticipation for the ending, who would finally get the girl. I kept thinking one of them would die, but which one? I thought I knew which one I wanted it to be. But, in the end I was afraid for both of them. The ending was emotional and suspenseful. I have never wept while reading, but I did with this one, twice!
I loved and hated this story, and I believe it will take me days to get over the emotional sorrow of this read. Is that a fantastic read, or is it a bad read? WOW, is all I can say for this one! Surpassed anything I’ve read to date!
******************************************************************************
After writing my review I went through several 5 star reviews and found one that really states my thoughts on this series. So, I just have to borrow it.

Omg! Starting out this third book and part of the way through it, I was kind of meh about it because of the politics involved in it and Rachel's devotion to Drew, for what I felt were the wrong reasons. However, you really want to know the rest of this family's story, especially after the preview you see in the second book.
Rachel continues to do her motherly role, see the best in others, and try to make things right all the time. You finally get to see that Alex isn't as rogue as the family has always thought him to be. He really steps up to the plate and helps his brother's company, although originally for his own reasoning. The biggest and best part of this book is finally getting insight into the world of Drew, which includes the reasons for marrying Elise and how he operates in his business and personal life.
I was really iffy about this book because of the politics and scandalous lives of them in it (not my thing) but Ginger blew me away with the writing and conclusion!

January 14, 2016I'm gonna wait a few days to rate this one because I am so mad right now at the ending that I would give it 1 star and I know it doesn't actually deserve that.

I'm on a limbo, the last book suck big time, but I was hopeful for this one, wishing it'd all turn around and i'd finally get back the feeling of book 1. I get the felling allright, the feeling of a totally clusterfuck that it was reading this serie, a major waste of my time. It seems to me that the writer flip a coin to decide who would be with whom at the last last laaaaaaaast second of the book. And DAMN the fucking SALVATION bullshit, so angry right now for my addiction of having to read all the books of a serie!! OR I should have just fucking peeked at the last chapter, but NOOO... I knew it was a love triangle when I first started, so that's not really it. Thus, If I would have known that was the approach of this series I wouldn have started it.

Need a box of tissues right to the end. Compelling reading favourite brother changes and changes. Lucky you if you have this family yet to read!

Although I have the second book three stars this ending redeemed the heroine in my eyes. She went through some changes, suffered her insecurities and eventually turned back into the strong woman she always was.
Accepting her part in the ending of her relationship with Alex, she throws herself heart and soul into her marriage. I still can't understand why a mother would fight for custody of a child so much and only leave him to struggle, never really connecting with him but that's the story here.
Rachel puts her foot down with the new nanny and stands up to her husband until one night he realises just how much like his dad he has become and changes his attitude toward his wife and eventually his brother. So much redemption for Drew you can just see the writing on the wall.
Big spoilers if you read on....
The author sets up the premise of one of the brothers kicking the bucket through a conversation about where Max would go. Sending Alex off into danger and having all roads point to him. So much pointed in this direction but super hero Drew wouldn't let that bullet fly to where it was headed.
It's not until later we discover the plan was to end Drew all along so that Elise could get her kid and Troy could get rid of a person who knew too much.
It was sad to see Drew be the one to not see his kids, to finally enjoy the love of a woman who really did love him. Throughout the three books I had always been team Drew. I was sad that Jonathan loses his Dad when he truly understood him more than most. This was Gingers story so the HEA still felt second best to me but a worthwhile series to have spent a few days on 🙃

I just re-read this series and I had forgotten how much I loved it. While I loved this series, I didn’t love the third book.
May be Spoilers————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Book 1- Liked Drew, Alex annoyed me, then hated Drew.
Book 2- They both annoyed me.
Book 3- Kind of liking Drew, disappointed in Alex, loved Drew again and then my heart hurt.
I mostly liked Rachel’s character but it really irritated me how she only flopped between Drew and Alex. Couldn’t she date someone else or even take a breather a be alone for a while?
Overall a great series.

So worth the read
I never imagined when starting out this series of would end likevthis. I have read numerous romance novels suspense novels etc but this far surpassed those. This was real honest emotion and something a lot of people sadly can relate to in real life. Rachel was an amazing character throughout the book and so relatable. I was proud to see drews transformation throughout the books as well. This story was by far not the type of ending typical for this genre. The ending left me completely heartbroken and dad but it fit well in the story. It felt raw and human so egging a lot of books leave out. It's been a very long time that a story has touched me and lingered with me for days but this one has left its mark. I am excited to read more of this authors books.

Yeah I’m pissed. NOT the ending I wanted AT ALL! But what I can say is that these 3 books, unlike so many other, kept me guessing to the every end. By this third book most of the ‘messiness’ had calmed down and the true ‘heart’ of this story shone through to highlight that Voight is indeed very good at what she does. The Personal Note at the beginning of Enraptured was its own revelation on the origins of this tale and once read beats like a drum at the back of your consciousness as the story unfolds, colouring everything that you read after it.
The Fullerton Family saga is, agin like Groupie, one of those addictive, dirty secrets you don’t want to admit to anyone you’ve partaken in but enjoyed the ride very much while on it.

Heartbroken
Heartbroken... I was literally not expecting this outcome. I had so much wanted for Drew to be able to have his dreams after enduring so much. I'm still reeling with emotions as I type this review. It was 1 emotional roller coaster with lots more details and people involved since the story is coming to a conclusion.
Even though the ending wasn't what I had hoped for, the writer did well writing this series. I love the transformation from all the characters especially Drew. My heart aches! This story is full of angst, emotions and love. I'm inclined to check out the other books by this author.

Drama
I cannot believe I never reviewed this series. It was the first series I read by Ginger Voight. If you want angst,if you want to feel emotion and frustration,this series is it. I have read it a few times,and each time ,I get teary,the sadness,and feelings I get in the last book,makes you understand, this family saga.when I have reread this series,I have to be emotionally ready to read it,and I still cry.
Well written, flows easily,no confusion,and you get it.Definitely worth the read. If I could add stars ,I would. Excellent series!

Honestly I was so resistant to start this book! The first book hooked me but the second really threw me and made me unhappy with the rape and abusive nature of Drew’s intimacy. While the book pulled through in character development and ultimately ended with love of choice rather than controlled love it was a harder one for me to engage in as I felt the author was trying to save joy from the yuck of the relationship between Drew & Rachel. That relationship shop dynamic is the sole reason this book gets a 4!

Oh wow just lots of different emotions going on right now, my poor bruised heart! :'(
I'm definitely torn and broken over how everything went down in this final book but I did enjoy it a lot!! This is one of those series that you have to read completely to really understand the depth of these characters, and this is quite the emotional/heartbreaking finale.

Why did it end t h at way?
The three book series was entertaining ,although the motivation for Rachael was sometimes very difficult to understand. I enjoy romantic novels with a backstory that leads you into the romance rather than ones that simply plop you from one romantic scene to another.

A great ending to a wonderful story. It has all the feels. I would have loved to give it five stars. I just couldn't because at times the lack of editing was distracting. If you can overlook that this is a great series. All the characters are well developed and the story itself was full of emotion.
