I had such a great time reading WANTED: ONE GROOM that I
never wanted the story to end. This is one for all of us Plus
Size gals to drool over. I loved it! Pat Ballard writes from
her heart and it shows!
Hanna Rockwell is an heiress who will lose it all if she
doesn’t marry by her 30th birthday. Her mother and brother are selfish
and care nothing for Hanna except what she can give them.
They all live with her at Rockwell Place, a gorgeous mansion in
Tennessee. They are constantly harping on Hanna about her
weight and making her feel self conscious about herself and her
ability to be a confident woman. Now the big item is either
Hanna gets married or they lose their monthly allowances and their
home.
It isn’t until Hanna gets mad and tells her brother to find
her a husband, and her mother to plan the wedding. Hanna feels it will
fail, but what the heck, nothing has been too good lately.
Her wonderful grandfather has set up his will that she will inherit
everything if she married by her 30th birthday. He wanted to
be sure she was protected from her wily mother and brother. You go, Gramps!
Hanna can’t believe it, but Will rushes home one evening
with the news that has-been rock star, Matt Corbett, will marry her
sight unseen. His manager had run out with his funds and
left him in trouble with the IRS. He decides to marry her for a place to live
and a chance to get this career started in country music.
What starts out as a marriage of convenience may just turn
out to be love. Matt Corbett is the one and only man Hanna ever
cared about. She’s followed his career for 15 years and has
a closet full of tapes and memorabilia about this handsome star.
She can’t believe she is going to be marrying the man of her
dreams. After Matt sees a picture of Hanna in the local paper is
thrilled to be marrying this voluptuous beauty. He loves a
curvy woman. Matt and Hanna are in for some surprises. This is a fun read!
WANTED is a sweet enchanting love story of how partners can
support one another and make things come out right if each is
willing to work together. Matt and Hanna have their rough
times, but the power of love is oh so beautiful.
Ms. Ballard does a fabulous job of showing how a woman
learns to love herself and be the big beautiful woman she is meant to be.
Wonderful! Please look for Pat’s second book, NOBODY’S PERFECT, available now.
I’ll be reviewing this one next
month.

is Beautiful!" Coleburn
"Pat Ballard is one heck of a writer whose WANTED: ONE
GROOM will make your heart feel so good when you read how
a plus size woman finds the man of her dreams as she finds
herself and loves the woman she becomes. I can’t wait to hear
more from this special writer!"
