Excerpt

We all laugh, make a toast to the past, and gulp down our drinks. As the night wore on, I noticed a group of men entering the club, laughing, and touching each other in an unusual manner. At least that is what it looked like to me, not like a buddy thing but more of a personal thing. They’re laughing, giving the high five, and even seemed a bit giddy. Then again, it may be just my imagination. They find a table and sit down. I’m preoccupied watching Melvin and Bryant being freaked by the women they’re dancing with, when out of the corner of my eye I see two women approach the table where the men sat. I can’t hear what is being said because the music is so loud. What Iobserve is the women throw up their heads and walk away in disappointment. I wished I had been a fly at that table.
I ordered Buffalo wings and another round of drinks. I needed to pay the water bill so I made my way to the bathroom. Standing at the urinal pissing, I suddenly hear grunting and panting. I finish my business, wash my hands, and exit the bathroom. My curiosity got the best of me. I positioned myself so I could see who would come out of the bathroom. Sure enough, two men exited within moments of each other. They sit down at the table together and smile at one another. I didn’t bother to mention it to my buddies because I’m already wrestling with a demon that is harboring a secret place in me.

Deliciously Scandalous
Review For "You Might Get Lucky"
5.0 out of 5 stars Deliciously SCANDALOUS!, June 19, 2010

This review is from: You Might Get Lucky (Paperback)

I don't even know where to start with my review of this book! The only words that keep coming back to me are the main character Robert "Lucky" Cole's final words in the book..."Karma is a BYTCH", whheeew!

The Author of this book out does her last publication "What's Past is Not Forgotten" in providing her reader with non stop drama and suspense. She also captivated me by tackling a well guarded crime of "Male on Male Rape" and, the thought process men go through with dealing with the anger, embarrassment, pain and resentment of being a victim of that crime, while still trying to develop relationships after the traumatic incident. My hat goes off to the Ms. Johnson for shedding light on this much too often thought taboo subject.

Gayle also indulges the reader with very explicit erotic scenes. This is NOT a book to give to Grandma for Mother's Day! The erotica is graphic! Ms. Johnson holds nothing back in her sophomore publication and this book is a must have for readers interested in an exiting, yet dramatic read!

"You Might Get Lucky" is definitely a "NO HOLDS BARRED AND SCANDALOUS" adventure!!!!

This review is from: You Might Get Lucky (Paperback)


I think that You Might Get Lucky by Gayle "Delicious" Johnson is hands down one of the best books I have ever read.
I personally would nominate this book for the New York Times Best Sellers list.
From Start to Finish her book is full of action and suspense.
Absolutely a 5 star rating for Gayle Johnson's book You Might Get Lucky, from Lawrence J. King



A Review
Most people would love to get lucky, but, If we are speaking of foster care reared, Robert Cole, aka Lucky, not so much. At least, not in Gayle Johnson’s extraordinary novel, “You Might Get Lucky”. What makes this book enjoyable is that it breaks free from the restraints of the stereotypical trends where Church and God is an immediate fix all. In “You Might Get Lucky,” flawed character, Lucky, an orphaned kid survived years of ‘technically incestuous’ sexual and mental abuse to become a loving husband, and God fearing man.



On a certain Sunday up jumps the devil and Lucky finds that he must reach out to his miserable past in order to move forward. This is one of the choices this character makes that makes him so real, so relatable, and revered by readers. He was honest enough with himself to go against the grand, recognize and act, verses staying in a stagnate phase that was eating a way at his soul and keeping him from fully embracing Gods desired actions. Unfortunately, he struggles to maintain his relationship with all of the fixtures in his life. Whereas most people in the heat of a sermon would gain strength and solace, something else gets sparked in Lucky, and that is a hearty, but equally unhealthy appetite for revenge against a particular member of his adopted family.



Some would just stay in first gear, going through the motions, unable to get to the finish line of forgiveness. But, instead of standing still and allowing God to do his bidding, he becomes resolute in his desire to revisit a past ripe with wrongs, abuse and a mountain of betrayals.

The suspense is all that more elevated because of the author’s jab for jab writing style. As we go through the fire with Lucky, we learn that for some, giving forgiveness comes with a prerequisite, pay back 101.
