Description
Before the groupies. Before the rock 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 takes us back to where it all began, with an intimate look at one of your favorite book boyfriends—from his perspective.

Doris B, Reviewer
Even though this is book #4 in the Groupie Trilogy I read it first since I had the opportunity to review it. Evidently it is a good thing that Ginger wrote this book so that you can understand what happened to shape Vanni into the rock star that he became. From my take on what others thought of Vanni once he made it to rock stardom he was not exactly loved as a great guy. Don’t get me wrong a douche bag is a douche bag no matter what but it is always interesting to see what happened that made him into that douche bag he became. (if that made sense at all?!) So with all douche bag talk aside I was just introduced to Vanni and his beginning and I have to say that I really did feel sorry for him at different points throughout the book. It was nice to see the love and respect he had for the two women in his life that raised him. Yes, he did lose sight of his upbringing at times, as most of us do, but eventually he realized it and would try to integrate that into the person that he needed to be in order to make it in the rock world.
You were also introduced to some women in Vanni’s life who both hindered and try to help him in making his dream come true. Lori, Pam, and Sasha weren’t the only women who influenced Vanni on his struggle to make it, there also was the cougar that almost brought Vanni to his knees and would have stolen his dream if he would have let her.
This was a really good and fast read and I’m looking forward to getting started on the Groupie Trilogy right now. I have to see how his dream turned out…if it was actually a dream or did it really end up to be a nightmare with no one true love in his life besides the music.
