Donovan and Chip have been wanting to have kids of their own since they got married. Maggie has wanted to go back to college for a while now but has no money to do so until she finds an ad to be a surrogate. Maggie was the answer to the couple's prayers and becomes their surrogate, giving them two lovely boys. Ten years later, Donovan has the kids and both him and his husband to do an ancestry DNA test for school, and the results are not what was expected.
This book was a whirlwind of emotions and very captivating. It hooks you from the start with you wanting to understand the situation they are all in and then how it will get solved. The last chapter was my favorite part. The story develops through alternating perspectives from Donovan and Maggie, but the last chapter is of one of the twin boys, and that chapter made my heart full, because it really did summarize what it means to be a family, what is important in a family, and what really was in the best interests of everyone. Absolutely loved the end and how the story wrapped up.
Highly recommend this heartwarming book!
