Some Day Somebody is a romance about a woman who leaves her controlling husband and finds a new love. She's determined not to make the same mistakes again and insists on being independent, not leaning on a man, even when a crazy stalker begins to threaten her safety and her new man wants to protect her.

Carrie is a feisty southern lady and Sam is the perfect hero for her. He'll step back when she insists on doing things for herself, but his protective nature is always there, making sure she is safe.

My favorite lines in the book are between Carrie and Elaine.

"I thought for sure you'd give me the old 'find yourself first speech."
"Are you lost?"
"No, I don't think so."
Elaine's laughter echoed through the cozy kitchen. "Well I should think you'd know if you were."

Threaded throughout the book is the subtle theme of women thinking for themselves. I liked that aspect of the story.

This was the first story I've read with a cajun flavor and I enjoyed that. The flavor wasn't so heavy that I didn't understand it and just enough to give me a taste.

I was impressed by the talent of Ms. Leger . I was touched by this story and the way she handled the grief of the lead female character, Giselle. Her portrayal of the loss by Giselle of her husband and her daughters' loss of their father was heart breakingly realistic and you will surely be reading through tears and lumps in your throat as I did. The process of healing is well described, the guilt that Giselle puts herself through over feeling new love after she experienced what she thought was the one and only true love of her life is relatable. The courtship of Giselle and Jackson is sweet and touching because he not only falls in love with her but also with her daughters. The setting and characters worked in my mind. I could picture the town and the people. The plot and characters are all developed well enough that you can see other stories forming and it makes you want to know what happens to them all after this story ends. I would strongly recommend this book, and I enjoyed it so much I would like to read other books by this author.
I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review.… (más)
