Childless in Texas

Format:Perfect Paperback
It's devastating to Sonya Lucas that she can't give her husband the one thing he wants more than anything - a child. As the result of a brutal rape in her childhood, Sonya has not been able to carry a baby to full term.
Quincy Lucas wants a child, specifically a son to be his heir and carry on the family name. He loves his wife, but he can't seem to get past his yearning for a child.
Some nine months later, Quincy is the proud father of a baby. Problem is Sonya's not the mother. Can their marriage withstand infidelity?
Although the story had a strong premise, its execution was mediocre. Character development was minimal. There were some twists and turns but not enough to turn this novella around. I also found the way some scenes played out as unrealistic. Maybe if this was a full length novel those issues could have been worked out for a smoother flow. There were also editing issues. "My Husband's Love Child" is not a bad read, but it's simply okay.

MY HUSBAND'S LOVE CHILD by Brian W. Smith details the lives, mishaps and entanglements of Sonya Lobo-Lucas, her husband Quincy and her lifelong friend and savior, Milton Washington. Far from growing up with a silver spoon, each one of them has had to overcome obstacles in their childhood. Regrettably for Sonya, her past is keeping her from fulfilling her husband's long desire. When Quincy starts to get his needs met elsewhere, is there any reason left to stay home?
A novella, MY HUSBAND'S LOVE CHILD is only 127 pages. While the story is to the point, I still felt as if so much was missing and maybe if it had been a full novel, the story could've built up more suspense. All while I was reading, I kept asking myself, 'what's the point?' I've read better from this author. I can't deny that the neighbor, Nelly, was a hoot! The deception, betrayal and drama certainly keep the pages turning, but for me, MY HUSBAND'S LOVE CHILD just wasn't as filling as I would've liked.
2.5

Loved this novel. Miss Nelly had me laughing so hard, again Brian had me in tears with his color characters. Sonya and Milton are intelligent, but seem to be digging holes for themselves.
How Brian gets to the point in such a short distance while turning out such a good read is a mystery to me and a rarity. Will definitely be purchasing more of his novels.
Continue to be real Brian because most writing/authors/literature is becoming so dull it's almost impossible to find something that sounds real. Like sifting through a haystack for a needle.
