I really could put myself in the shoes of the heroine. I liked the way you developed her self esteem. Plus Edward sounded very sexy—if you find an extra like him, please send him my way!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Brenda</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;A Big Beautiful Heroine! </strong>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. <em>(His Brother's Child </em>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.&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">A reader from Albuquerque, NM</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Pat Ballard delivers again! </strong>This book has you wondering about the ending from the first chapter. The book is not what I thought it to be—it is better. Another book by Pat you can't put down. If you don't have the first two, buy all three and settle in for a long, quiet time. Don't forget the wine!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Paula Johnson from W.P.B., FL</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Once again Ms. Ballard delivers!</strong> Ms. Ballard is proving herself to be the new Romance Queen of the new Millenium. Her new novel, <em>His Brother's Child,</em> heats up from the start and just continues to build that sexual tension until the explosive end. My recommendation is buy the book, find a comfortable place to read and ENJOY because you won't be able to put it down!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">H.
