About this ebook

‘This book broke my heart. It reduced me to tears a quarter of the way in and I don’t think I stopped crying until the end.’ Goodreads Reviewer

Your life or your unborn child’s – how do you choose?

Paige and Nick are happy. They have a beautiful home, a loving family and, most importantly, they would do anything for each other. Now, they are having a baby and it feels like all their dreams are coming true.

But joy turns to despair when they discover that Paige has a rare, life-threatening heart condition and they lose their longed-for child. Heartbroken, the couple must accept the reality that they may not become parents after all.

Just as they begin to come to terms with their loss, Paige unexpectedly falls pregnant again. Paige’s heart is still weak, and to carry the baby to term puts them both at risk. The couple now face an impossible decision: Paige’s life or the life of their unborn child?

If Paige keeps the baby, she could lose her life and destroy the man she loves. If Nick tries to stop her, he may lose them both forever. It’s the most important decision they have ever had to make – and time is running out.

My Life for Yours is a heartbreaking, gripping and emotional story about love, loss and an impossible choice, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Kelly Rimmer and Kate Hewitt.

Ratings and reviews

BLOG TOUR REVIEW Review for 'My Life For Yours' by Vanessa Carnevale Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous This is the first book that I have read by this author. I am definitely looking forward to reading more! I was originally drawn to this book by its intriguing title & blurb. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book). This novel consists of a prologue, 55 chapters and an epilogue which are a nice length so that you can read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case! This book is written from the perspectives of Nick and Paige. I always enjoy reading books written from the perspective of more than one person as you get to know how each character is feeling and more of what's going on giving

This book will tug at your heartstrings. Paige loses her newborn son Max when she is rushed for emergency surgery for a heart condition she didn’t know she had. To add to the devastation, they can’t try for another baby until her heart heals. Then one day she finds out she is pregnant but it’s before her heart is ready, putting her and the baby at great risk. As a mother I could feel for Paige and her heartbreaking decision. Her life or her baby’s? Paige is not in agreement with her family causing a lot of disagreements. I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down!

This is a such a beautiful and heart touching book that I don't know how to review it without any spoilers!! It was so well written that I couldn't put it down until I finished it. All the characters in the book are so good. Its filled with emotion and the ending will remain with you long after your done with the book. Thank You to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!! Highly Recommended!!
