About this ebook

Her husband cheated. Her marriage imploded. And her happily-ever-after? Well, that's going to need a rewrite.


After fifteen years of marriage, Jana Embers discovers her husband has been cheating—and gotten another woman pregnant. Naturally, she handles the news like any reasonable woman would: with a tire iron and a very expensive lesson in automotive bodywork.


Now thirty-four, newly single, and wondering how she's supposed to support herself after spending her adult life taking care of everyone else, Jana has two choices: fall apart or start over. She's already tried falling apart. Time for Plan B.


With a teenage son, a wisecracking cousin, and a rescued cat named J'Austen, Jana sets out to rebuild her life. What begins as a book-review blog soon becomes something she never imagined—a writing career, newfound confidence, and a future that belongs entirely to her. But just when Jana thinks she's figured out how to live without a man, love comes knocking again. And this time, she's not about to surrender everything she's worked so hard to become.


Between an unexpected romance, a few painful secrets, and a Hollywood opportunity that could change her life forever, Jana discovers that finding happiness isn't about getting lucky. It's about knowing what you're worth.


Funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically honest, Some Lucky Woman is a story of second chances, unexpected love, and one woman's determination to write her own happily-ever-after. Because sometimes the best love story begins when a woman learns to love herself.


What readers are saying about Some Lucky Woman:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great story and even greater message…" — Goodreads


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I loved how the story moved quickly and covered five years of Jana's life and her growth to independence. I loved her relationship with her cousin and how smart both women were and how they supported each other…" — Goodreads


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great story about a woman's journey to love and fulfillment…" — New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tina Wainscott


WARNING: Although there are many adult situations in this novel, if, say, something crazy happened and a famous producer adapted this contemporary women's fiction into a movie, it would have a PG-13 rating. There are no erotic scenes, no graphic violence, and while there are a few allowed-on-TV curse words, there aren't a plethora of gratuitous foul words. Oh, and if you were looking for a cliffhanger, you won't find that here either. Some Lucky Woman includes all three parts of Jana's story. Please proceed at your own risk.

This is a perfect example of the saying "If life hands you lemons, make lemonade." When Jana found out that not only had her husband cheated on her but the woman was pregnant, she divorced him. She hadn't held a job in her 15 years of marriage, so figuring out how to provide for herself and her teenage son was a challenge. She started a book blog and before you know it, she's writing a book! Several best-sellers, as a matter of fact. I liked her spunk and determination. When she realized she could do the things she wanted to do now and not just what she was expected to do, she tried a lot of new activities. Kayaking was her favorite past-time so she spent as much time as she could doing it. During one of these adventures, Jana injured her shoulder, requiring surgeries and physical therapy. That's how she met a man who became very important to her, Dr. Adrian Kijek. This story had a very sad beginning with Jana's marriage ending but became very positive when she wouldn't stand back and feel sorry for herself. Jana's story is inspiring showing a woman doesn't need a man to be a success. She just needs to believe in herself. That positive outlook, among other things, made her attractive to men. She had several wanting her. One of which was her ex, even though he was now with the mother of his baby. I loved the part where he was trying to get Jana to forgive him. He said, "It was a mistake, Jana. I didn't mean -" Her reply was, "A mistake?" ... "Wearing different color socks is a mistake. Sending a text to the wrong person is a mistake. Sticking your penis in the wrong woman isn't a mistake!"

I felt the book seemed disjointed, as if it were written one chapter at a time with the author not looking over previous chapters beforehand. Several passages were needlessly repeated history that the reader already knew. There were also discrepancies between chapters such as promising to meet in california, then for some unknown reason meeting up in Pittsburgh instead??? I still don't know why. The main character's personality also seemed very disjointed and often unclear as to what was her driving motive.

This was the most realistic romance novel I've read. It talked about the struggles we go through in live and the choices we make. Good and bad. We all need to find what makes us happy. Definitely recommend.

About the author

Carmen DeSousa's stories overflow with romance, suspense, a hint of humor sometimes and, of course, a few Kleenex moments. After all, what would a great story be without an emotional event setting the stage? All of her novels are sensual, but not erotic, gripping but not graphic and will make you cry, laugh, love, and hope.
