Review of Entangled by Ginger Voight
When Rachel Dennehy got her
heart broken by Drew Fullerton, she returned home to Texas swearing she would
never return to California again. But three months later and much to her
surprise Drew’s brother, Alex Fullerton shows up at her door pleading for her
help with Johnathon, whose behavior is at his all-time worst. Feeling guilty
for leaving him and responsible for his downward spiral, Rachel once again
finds herself heading to California to get Johnathon back on track. Now living
with Alex at his palatial ranch home with him and his son, Rachel resumes
tutoring Johnathon. It’s then that she realizes the ramifications that her
leaving has caused. Gone is the sweet boy Rachel bonded with so quickly with over
a year ago. In his place is an angry, disrespectful child who hates everybody
around him and doesn’t mind letting them all know it. To make matters worse as
soon as Drew finds out she is back and living with Alex, he shows up and makes
it clear that he plans on getting her back, and Drew never plays fair.
As mad as I had
been, as hurt and betrayed, Drew still haunted my dreams.
Getting through to Johnathon this time is going to take a lot more
time and work. He feels betrayed by all the adults around him who have made
promises that weren’t kept. Rachel’s progress with him is much slower this time
around especially with both his parents going to court for everything under the
sun. Rachel finds herself an unlikely ally in Alex. First impressions aside
they find they actually have a lot in common and both just want what’s best for
Johnathon. When a near tragedy occurs Johnathon is shaken, and changes his
ways. The days he spends at the Ranch, he thrives and happily acts like part of
the family. The more time Rachel spends with Alex and his young son Max, the
more Rachel realizes she can see herself as a permanent fixture in their life
and that scares her. Alex’s feelings for her seem genuine unlike Drew who was
using her for his own purposes and gain.
“I want it all,
Rachel. Everything. Good or bad. Right or wrong. I just want to be with you.”
Finally succumbing to their feelings for each other Alex and Rachel
are happier than they have been in a long time. Rachel realizes she’s found
everything she has been looking for in Alex. They agree to keep their romance
quiet as to not upset a fragile Johnathon. Johnathon is improving and almost
back to his old self again, but he still yearns for that loving family unit he
thinks he will never have. Drew is still under the impression that Rachel
belongs with him and he is willing to do anything to make sure that happens. As
much as she wants to hate Drew she still finds herself shamefully drawn to him.
The Fullerton men are pulling Rachel into three separate directions and she
finds herself more confused than ever.
Everyone needed
something different from me, and I was completely clueless how to meet every
need without losing myself in the process.
Her confusion gets her in hot water when she makes a huge mistake with
ramifications that will change everything. The thing she wants the most is now
the most unlikely, and Rachel finds herself torn between three men she loves and
faced with a future that will change her life forever. No matter what she does
or who she chooses someone will get hurt, can Rachel make peace with her
decision or will she regret it forever?
Entangled is the second novel in the Fullerton Family Saga by Ginger
Voight. This is a story about a woman who is in love with two men and a little
boy, all who have all altered her life in one way or another. I couldn’t wait
to read this book especially because of the way the first one left off. Rachel
was broken hearted with what Drew did to her so I couldn’t wait to see what
would happen next. Johnathon is heartbroken that Rachel left and broke her
promises to him. He is angry and his behavior is atrocious when Rachel first
gets back. After a while he comes around but he still has hope that Rachel will
move back in to his father’s house so things can go back to the way they were
before. I have to say I love Alex. There
was something about him, even in the first book that attracted my attention
towards him. You get to see a complete different side of him here, and it’s apparent
why Rachel couldn’t help but fall for him. Drew is as domineering as ever. He
is determined to get Rachel back and is willing to pull out all the stops to
make that happen. He doesn’t play fair and uses the fact that he knows Rachel
is still attracted to him to his advantage. I have to say I wasn’t Drew’s
biggest fan in this book but I am very intrigued to see where this story is
headed. I will be waiting very, very impatiently for the ne next book in this
series!!

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 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.
