With My Whole Heart is a complicated story about family.

WITH MY WHOLE HEART is the best among a group so filled to the brim. It's not always easy to find that diamond in the rough, and if you are looking for a warm heart, drama, very little angst, lots of soul, and flawless writing...look no further. This book is your ticket to romance nirvana. ~Amazon reviewer

Jaime’s a young, single mother who is trying to make ends meet, feeling like she's always waging an uphill battle to make sure she and her son are housed, fed, and healthy.

Connor’s designed his life to stay too busy for relationships.

How complicated is it?

She’s his big brother's surrogate, and he’s the sperm donor. How in the hell would this ever work? Connor didn't know, but he was determined to convince the feisty little blonde to take a chance on him. What he didn't realize was it meant taking a chance on himself, too.

Standalone romance certain to make your heart melt. This is a happy ever after you won't want to put down.

Editorial Review
"With My Whole Heart is an engrossing, complex romance story with rich characters, love and loss, a sweet romance, relationship drama, and steamy, heart-pounding sexuality.

DeMora writes in a natural, flowing voice with careful attention to detail.

Within the first few sentences, MariaLisa already immerses the reader in her story and breathes life into her characters, giving them relatable emotions and vibrant personalities.

An engaging read!" - NY Literary Magazine

Colleen Marie

The BEST in romance.....HOT stuff, too!

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is why I continue to read romance. Two wonderful characters who are just drawn to one another; in spite of reasons that it might not be for the best that they become a couple. Throw in one heck of a wonderful young boy and a family is created. I love Nate…….sweetest, smartest, most special little boy in my reader’s universe right now!

Just as I'm thinking 'slam dunk' on this romance coupling.....BOOM......MariaLisa deMora throws in the curve-ball, and it's something I've never read before. The premise is unusual, for sure!

The character Jaime is written with such fine attention to detail. She simply radiates goodness, giving, and motherhood. Her circumstances are heartrending and the lengths she'll go to, in order to provide for her son are overwhelming in terms of emotional cost. She meets up with her son's coach 'Conner' and its pure kismet. Add in the complication of what Jaime is already in the works of doing for Conner's brother and sister-in-law and one heck of a tale unfolds. Special mention here for Conner's brother Cooper, and his wife Marie who suck in the reader who wants to hug them and be best friends forever.

We get so much from a story like this; a sadly heartbreaking situation that slowly morphs its way into the reader's heart who then feels for each character and their needs and feelings. I just didn't know how this whole story could work and in the end, it is human spirit that wins when each character ends up knowing they did the right things, made the correct choices. I feel completely respite in having read this book and in over 40 years of reading romance.....I again feel like the first time I read such a book. I'm in love.....with love.

WITH MY WHOLE HEART is the best among a group so filled to the brim. It's not always easy to find that diamond in the rough, and if you are looking for a warm heart, drama, very little angst, lots of soul, and flawless writing.......look no further. This book is your ticket to romance nirvana. You’ll become one with the characters and live through each of their heartaches.

Well done Ms. deMora. I love your MC books to the max.......and then a book like this comes along and reminds me why I love to read romance. Thank you.

Steamy book momma

I really enjoyed this book

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018

This is the first book I have read by MariaLisa. I picked this book up a signing I went to where she was an attending author. I really enjoyed this book. I have never read a book where there was surrogacy in the storyline. All the characters in this book were great. I loved the slow build up storyline. Jaime is a single mother just trying to provide for her son. She is given the name of the surrogacy clinic from a friend and decides that this is something that she can do. The money from it would help her and her son and the baby or egg she provided would help a family trying to have a child. When she decided to do it she never imagined it would change her life the way it did. Connor is the sperm donor for his big brother. He didn’t think it was a good idea for his big brother and sister-in-law to meet and have a relationship with their egg donor/surrogate. Then he meets Jaime will her son is attending a basketball clinic her son is attending. Things change for Connor. There is just something about Jaime that Connor is attracted to. It calls to something in him. This book was moving and emotional. I felt for both couples in this book. This book has a happy ending for all involved. I look forward to reading more of MariaLisa’s books.

I wish I could give Jaime and Connor more than 5 stars. I wish everyone who loved a sweet, hopeful love story that was slightly complicated would read this. I can't. Instead, I will say that I started and finished in one sitting. I sent my kids out the door to catch the bus and continued to read, fed the dog and the cats started some laundry and emptied the dryer! I poured coffee while reading. If that doesn't tell you how fantastic With My Whole Heart is...to risk spilling not only coffee but spilling it on my Ereader!

My enjoyment of this book is twofold. 1) It's not a storyline I've read before so it was fresh, and by the end, I was definitely wondering what I would do if I was in Jaime's shoes. 2) It's by a favorite author, she up until now writes exclusively MC and I HOPE this helps her to take another chance and give us something like this again.

It's wonderful to see authors step away from what they know their readers will read and see them hit it out the park!

Title says it all!

Touched my heartstrings with this one. Where to begin? A mother’s love-wanting the best for her son and needing a way to financially support him makes a hard but selfless decision to be a surrogate. Never imagining meeting, spending time with or being drawn to the sperm donor. Definitely not unexpectedly falling for each other. It’s a journey of love, family, complications, blessings and melt your heart sweetness. It’s a different and unique storyline and I Ioved it.

Quais sacrifícios uma mãe está disposta a fazer para dar uma vida digna para seu filho?
O que um irmão dedicado está disposto a fazer pela família dele?
Nesta história linda temos estas respostas e acompanhamos a jornada dos nossos heróis rumo ao final feliz deles.
Jamie está enfrentando dificuldades econômicas e como ultimo recurso está disposta a servir como barriga de aluguel para conseguir meios de sobreviver junto com o filho e conseguir uma vida mais segura para ambos. Ela é uma mãe incrível e faz o possível para que o filho tenha uma vida feliz e cercada de amor.
Nosso herói Connor tem uma família maravilhosa e fará de tudo para que todos sejam felizes, mas ainda não se conformou com a perda do irmão gêmeo dele. Ele se sente culpado e procura a felicidade de todos deixando os próprios desejos de lado.
Quando iniciei a leitura eu fiquei imaginando todas as coisas que poderiam acontecer e a variedade de emoções envolvidas durante toda gestação. Fiquei imaginado os sentimentos de todos envolvidos com criação da nova vida e o impacto na vida e relacionamentos de todos. Futuros pais e os doadores tanto do óvulo quanto do esperma estavam todos muito envolvidos, não só por laços familiares mas sentimentais também.
O filho da heroína deu um tempero especial à história e adorei a personalidade dele e os desafios na criação de uma criança especial.
De uma situação que tinha tudo para dar errado temos uma história linda onde o amor e os laços familiares triunfam sobre todas as dificuldades e tristezas da vida.
Terminei a leitura com um sorriso no rosto e com o coração alegre.
Recomendo a todos que desejam uma história repleta de emoções e bons sentimentos.
