When I meet the love of my life, Mark, I have everything I ever dreamed of. Our lives are perfect, until we find out I can’t give him the one thing he truly wants—a child.
There is a small glimmer of hope. We could use a surrogate. But as the doctor explains that we can’t use my eggs, my heart breaks all over again. Mark kisses my forehead, reassuring me that I will be a fantastic mother, that we can still raise our dream family. So why can’t I see myself in the picture he paints?
When we meet our surrogate, Dani, I try not to feel threatened by this young, beautiful woman, who can give my husband the one thing I never can. As I watch her looking at the sonogram, I’m sure I see love in her eyes. Because after all, this is her child… not mine. Is it right for me to come between a mother and her baby, even if it’s all I’ve ever wanted?
As the months pass and the date circled on the calendar gets closer, I try to ignore the panic beating in my heart. Looking around the beautiful nursery we’ve created, I know I have to make a heartbreaking choice. Can I really separate a mother from her baby? And should I tell my husband that I can’t raise his child and, if I do, will I lose the love of my life forever?
A completely heartbreaking and unputdownable novel about what it means to be a mother, and the power of a mother’s love. Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional fiction, and for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Susan Lewis.

First, I wanted to thank Kate Hewitt, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Kate Hewitt is back with another emotional read in All I Ever Wanted. This time Kate addresses surrogacy which can be a very personal and emotional topic for some readers. She does a great job tapping to the emotions with both those involved in the storyline. Instantly, Kate wasted no time and jumped right into the story hooking me into the storyline. Love when authors do this. In this instance though my heart broke for her as this is not the news she was hoping for.
I enjoyed hearing about how Mark and Ashley met. How blunt and up front how personal of a topic they brought up on a first date I was surprised.
My heart broke for Callie who has pediatric spondylosis and seems to be getting worse.
I loved and appreciated how Kate educated her readers on what was medically what was going on with this couple, how Callie had pediatric spondylosis, and how they were trying to find a way for them to find a way for insurance to pay for it.
