Review

A Big Beautiful Heroine! Well, I am a big fan of Pat Ballard's work. I love how all her heroines are plus-sized beauties and have great hunks who love them that way. I also love that her heroines have class and style. They are strong women who can handle any situation put before them. [His Brother's Child] is not only a love story, but a story about hope. How it only takes one person who, with loving patience, can give a person the strength to overcome fears and to embrace life. I hope to read many more of Pat's books. Each one is a treat."

Product Description

One party. One wild night in her entire life and Faith Carr winds up pregnant! What were the odds? And what were the odds of finding out that the handsome stranger who'd gotten her pregnant had only made love to her because of a stupid bet! And now he didn't want anything to do with her or the baby that was growing inside her.

Edward Brenner knew as soon as he saw Faith Carr that he would love her. But he also knew he had many obstacles to overcome. She'd been hurt. She'd been frightened and made to distrust all men. She was scared and vulnerable. And she was pregnant with his brother's child.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Big Beautiful Heroine!, November 8, 2003

By	Brenda Condit "satinskper" (Albuquerque, NM USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: His Brother's Child (Paperback)

Well I am a big fan of Pat Ballard's work. I love how all her heroines are plus sized beauties and have great hunks who love them that way.I also love that her heroines have class and style. They are strong women who can handle any situation put before them.

In His Brother's Child, the heroine,Faith, is pregnant. The result of a one night stand at a party. She is also the victim of a cruel joke. The babies father wants nothing to do with either of them so its up to his brother,Edward to pick up the pieces. The kicker is that to Edward, Faith is a dream come true. He knows he loves her from the get go but because of her distrust of men, thanks to his brother, she is afraid to open up her heart again.

Its not only a love story but a story about hope. How it only takes one person who,with loving patience, can give a person the strength to overcome fears and to embrace life.

I hope to read many more of Pat's books. Each one is a treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars If this man exists..., July 19, 2006

By	Cathy L. Yanda (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As long as Pat Ballard keeps writing, I'll keep looking forward to reading her books. Even though she writes outside of my normal genre of reading (thriller), I put all other books down when there is one of hers to read. I recommend you do the same.

This book arrived in my P.O.Box the day I was leaving on vacation. Between the flights to and from Baltimore, I devoured this book. In this book, she brought to life "Edward, a man who could bring Faith from tears to laughter within seconds...she also found, to her surprise, that she loved to hear him talk." How many women would not enjoy finding a man like this?

If that weren't enough to make you want to keep reading,.."His lips left hers and nibbled at her ear lobe, then started working their way down her neck, then lower. Faith moaned with pleasure..." I could feel the tension mounting as I read the words while on the airplane. As you read this book, you will discover a beautiful man (Edward) and woman, in love even though Faith is carrying the child of his dead brother. To complicate matters further, Edward's brother had only had sex with her because of a bet.

As in all of Pat Ballard's books, Faith is not a size 6 ~ she never has been. She's a voluptuous woman with beautiful curves who has many of the same issues to overcome as the rest of us...distrust of men and feeling frightened, scared and vulnerable. I wish for all of you beautiful, strong women out there to find a man as beautiful as the men of which Pat Ballard writes. Maybe she will have a contest to appear in her next book with the man of your choice.

Let's hope that Pat Ballard doesn't tire of writing because any of us who have taken the time to read her books will continue to look for the next one in print...at least I am!
