About this listen
She gave away her children. Now she wants them back.
Charlotte Morgan knows how it feels to desperately want a baby. As a child, seeing her mum devastated by losing her longed-for babies, Charlotte wished another woman could give her mother what she so craved.
Now Charlotte’s a mum herself and knowing how much love her daughter, Alice, brings into her life, she vows to help others achieve their dreams of becoming a parent.
When she meets Malcolm and Brenda on a surrogacy website, it seems she's found the perfect couple. In their late 40s, they have wealth and an enviable life, but there’s one thing missing – a child of their own.
When Charlotte falls pregnant with twins, the pair are overjoyed. And while Charlotte’s heart breaks as she hands them over, her reward is knowing how much happiness the two tiny babies are going to bring into their life.
But are Malcolm and Brenda all they seem? As secrets become unravelled, Charlotte is forced to face that she has given her children to virtual strangers. And when Malcolm and Brenda disappear without a trace, Charlotte is plunged into a frantic search for the babies she carried – before it’s too late....
A gripping psychological thriller with a heart stopping ending – listeners of The Wife Between Us, Rachel Abbott and C.L Taylor will not want to put this down....

Even better on Audio
Some books just do it for you! For me this is one of those. It is such a wonderful narrative! It is an everyday tale, something that could happen to you or me, our next door neighbour or indeed anyone we know. Charlotte and her husband are just an ordinary couple who decide to do something extraordinary so that another less fortunate couple can share in the happiness and joy they have experienced with Alice.
Things don't go to plan and the emotional roller coaster develops apace gripping the reader and making this a page turner. I found myself to be there with them all along, feeling their emotions and hoping for a good outcome.
Not a lot is known about surrogacy. It is not a subject that is discussed everyday unless something goes wrong and hits the headlines. In this book Ruby Speechley took the subject to another level and exposed a frightening avenue that surrogate babies can go down.
The story, reactions and emotions are so realistic that at the end of the book I found myself wondering what will the Government now do to make sure this does not happen again. This feeling of 'something must be done now' speaks to the high level of the writer's research and craftsmanship.
A wonderful debut and I'm looking forward to Ruby Speechley's next offerings.
I first read this book on Kindle and the review above reflects my thoughts. Now I have heard it on audio and despite the fact that I knew the story I really enjoyed it again. I found the reader excellent and her voice appropriate to the story.
I now look forward to more Audio books from Ruby Speechley.

Well narrated and intriguing
Liked this book and thought the narration was perfect for the character.
A bit slow to get going but really gripping in final third.

Fabulous!
One of the best books I have listened to. Binged it in a few hours as it had me so hooked. The narrator really bought the book to life. Well worth a credit.

Excellent thriller beautifully read
The title put me off a bit - another stolen baby story - but it isn’t. It’s a heart wrenching story and realistically told.
Can’t say much because don’t want to spoil it for other listeners but just to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narrator is BRILLIANT!

A good story
If you could ignore yourself saying for goodness sake they wouldn’t do that in reality, then it was a good listen. Gripping story line.

Really enjoyed
Took me a while to get into it at first, restarted it a couple of times determined for it not to be another waste of time and a credit and was so glad I did.
Good characters, good storyline, and didn't see the ending coming.
worth a listen
