Definitely sounds like a brake problem. First step is to try and figure out which brake it is.
Next time the problem happens, try to quickly pull over to the side of the road after a few moments. If one of the brakes is sticking, as Rob said, it'll generate a LOT of heat and probably a smell - walk around the car and see if you can see which caliper is getting hot.
Once you've found it, problem likely is in one of two categories. As Rob indicated, any caliper can stick. But if it's one of the rears, it could be a problem with the e-brake mechanism also - either inside the caliper or maybe a cable or something.
In any case, best get it fixed quickly - brake problems are never good, and if something's sticking it's gonna eat the brake pads too.
