Angie was a young woman from the working class, outer western suburbs of Sydney.
She was pregnant after having IVF treatment.
Her husband told her that a real woman wouldn't need IVF to get pregnant.
At three months gestation, she and her husband were told that a mistake had occurred.
The wrong embryo had been implanted in the wrong woman, Angie.
The clinic offered to fix it, have an abortion.
Angie couldn't do it. The baby rightfully belonged to the other couple and they deserved to know of the baby's existence.
Her husband was furious. He told her that a real woman wouldn't want to carry another man's baby.
She should take the clinic up on their offer to 'fix it'.
Angie telephoned billionaire investor Dominic, the baby's real father, and told him that even though he did not know her, she was having his baby.
Angie and Dominic met at Darling Harbour.
Angie did not make a good impression on Dominic. He thought that she was shabby and pale, a ghost of a woman, dressed in drab clothes and hair pulled into an unkempt ponytail, and looked undernourished.
This ragged excuse for a woman could not carry his baby.
Angie felt his revulsion. His tone stung.
With his unveiled disdain, he made it clear that she was some kind of lesser being.
Dominic asked if she was prepared to have the baby, and hand it over as soon as it was born, and walk away and expect to have nothing to do with it ever again.
He then questioned her motives of keeping the baby and accused her of expecting something in return. He did not believe that this was an altruistic gesture out of the goodness of her heart, so she should come clean.
He asked her how much was she asking, because what she really wanted, he said, was to sell it to him.
"Clearly l made a mistake coming here." She told him. "I thought you'd be interested in raising your own child, but l can see now that all you're worried about is your money. This child would be much better off being raised as far away from you as possible, "
He ended up giving her a ride back home to a suburb of shabby houses and overgrown lawns.
The house had no furniture and she explained that her husband took them.
He moved in with another woman right after Angie refused to abort the baby.
He had also taken the car, and demanded to have half of the house Angie's mother left for her in the will. Angie was alone in the world and penniless. She was down to her last twenty dollars.
Dominic convinced her that it would be best for the baby if she moved in with him.
So he took her to his mansion at one of the prestigious suburbs with the picture-perfect view over the Sydney Harbour.
There, he told her that he was a widower. His wife died recently.
Angie was to stay there with him for the next six months. And a lot can occur in six months...
It is a nice feeling reading a book that has Sydney as a setting, where l live!

Recounting what I remember...
She married her boyfriend because her mom was dying and he proposed so mom-in-law would die knowing her daughter was happily married... Don't remember why but they can't have kids so they go to a clinic but the clinic messes up and the h ends up with someone else's baby (the H's). The husband and the clinic wants her to have an abortion but she doesn't want to so the husbands divorces her and asks for half of her house (the one she inherited from mom, if the story had happened here she would be protected because your spouse can't claim anything you've inherited 😉). So now she has a broken marriage, half a house in a not-so-nice part of town and someone else's baby in her womb.
H's wife was obsessed with having a child so she went to the clinic but she died. The h goes to H to ask for help because financialy she can't afford carrying his child so she stays in H's home and blah blah blah... HEA.

The Heir from Nowhere was a decent read nothing great. The characters didn't really pull me in that much and Dominic was bit of a snob and judgmental in the beginning but he did get a shock that due to the clinic's mix-up he is about to become a father. His dead wife Carla wanted a baby badly but she had issues with weight and stuff so when he sees a really thin Angie he is not impressed and she is nearly destitute and comes from the same poor neighborhood as him.
Angie never really wanted a child but she later realizes she didn't want one with her husband, who walked out on her. Most of the book these two spend time apart, Dominic trying to keep busy and Angie in his house doing stuff and then suddenly a HEA.

I really liked it. I liked the characters, the story, the writing style.
If you're looking for a IVF mixups story. This one is for you.

2.5 stars. I didn't like it as much on the re-read. I guess I noticed all the gaps in the story and didn't really feel the chemistry.
Her husband left her and then boom...she's divorced. That was really quick....
Why was she undergoing IVF in the first place? I'm confused and no explanation was given.

After having read The Accidental Birthright by another author, Maisey Yates, and enjoying it thoroughly, I decided that I needed to see if there were any other HP’s that contain IVF mixups, and stumbled across this one.
This was such a great story! Angie never actually wanted children, but her husband insisted that she wasn’t a “real” woman because of it. After realizing that she couldn’t conceive naturally, she underwent an IVF procedure, which again made her husband emphasize how “real” women wouldn’t need to resort to such measures.
Shortly after conceiving, however, she discovered that there was a mixup in the lab, and the embryo that had been implanted actually belonged to another couple. When she refused to accept the “fix” that the IVF clinic offered, her husband decided this was the last straw and left her, finally moving in with the mistress that Angie never even realized existed. Now, impoverished and pregnant with a child that she doesn’t want, she contacts Dominic, hoping that this other couple will want and love the child that she is now carrying.
Dominic has battled his way up from the slums to become a billionaire businessman. However, no amount of money, or nice houses, or fast cars, were ever enough for his wife, and when she couldn’t get pregnant, the couple turned to IVF. The procedures were unsuccessful, however, and not long after, she passed away from complications of a life-long illness, leaving Dominic with no family.
When he first sees Angie, he’s both horrified and disgusted. This is the woman who was supposedly carrying his child?! She’s frighteningly thin, obviously impoverished, and so pale and sickly that a stiff breeze literally blows her over. He immediately assumes that she’s only doing this for the money, and it seems that she’s giving him mixed signals. When he realizes just how bad of a neighborhood she lives in, and that her husband is no longer in the picture, he demands that she move in with him until the baby is born, at which time she is to walk away.
I really enjoyed this one. I still haven’t come across many novels that contain IVF mixups, and I admit this may be my newest guilty pleasure. There’s just something about a complete stranger having a man’s baby, without having the moral implications of a one-night stand, or my instinctive dislike of the hero for having either forgotten or discarded the heroine early on.
Dominic was arrogant, true, but he was also charmingly confused, and also cynical due to his own past experiences. I liked how some of the “obvious” storylines weren’t pursued — for example the hot assistant was never a romantic rival, and Dominic never really pushed the issue of making her a mistress like so many of the heroes of HP’s do.
In the end, I thought this was very well done. I don’t typically go for stories set in Australia, simply because I’m unfamiliar with the country, but I definitely think that I will be reading more stories by Ms. Morey in the future. 4/5 Stars

I really liked the book,Dominic-Angelina two people who suffered in their own ways.Dominic has come a long way from poor to being a billionaire,he loved his wife Carla but she was unable to get pregnant so they went ahead with IVF but still were not successful,Carla dies trying and Dominic is bitter then one day comes a call from clinic that a wrong woman has been implanted with the embryo and now he is to become a father in 6 months
Angelina calls Dominic to let him know,but he is rude to her and angry at her,Angelina's husband has left her when he comes to know about the mix up and files for divorce cause she refuses to abort the child,Angelina has her reasons,then these 2 meet from there their love journey starts
Really liked Dominic and Angelina but i disliked one things about each of them,Dominic he also comes from poor background and knows how hard it is to live in such a poverty yet he gives disgust looks to Angelina,he thinks how can this woman carry his precious child,i really hate when people pass judgements from only looks,and he also accuses her that she is going ahead with pregnancy cause she wants money and how can she let the golden chance get away
Angelina she keeps whinning and thinking low about herself,her lack of confidence irritated me,Dominic cannot fall for a woman like me ,pluuuzzzzeee it really frustrates me when woman themselves think so low about themselves
but as the story pregresses it gets better,Dominic accepts his mistake about judging her and Angelina gets confident as the story moves
Its a good read but not a keeper
Recommend it

This is the forth time I have read this book, and I loved it just as much as I did the first time I read. Not sure how, but I still managed to get tears in my eyes in one emotional part. Any book that can make me cry, is a good book.
Dominic learned a hard lesson. All the money in the world can't save the people he loved. He and his wife wanted to have a baby. she died before they had one. He is broken inside. His world is turned upside down when Angelina contacts him to tell him the clinic made a mistake, and now she is pregnant with his child.
The clinic, and her husband wanted Angelina to abort the child she is pregnant with. She just can't do it. Her husband can't understand why she would want to carry another man's child. He divorces her.
A friendship was made between Angelina, and Dominic, and it was sweet to see it grow and strengthen throughout the story. The romance was slow and sweet, as trust was built. The emotions in this book are real, and raw. This book pulled at my heart. There are so many emotions any surrogate mother goes through. They try not to love a child that is apart of them. They try to distance themselves. How can you, when you feel every kick, every hic up? They know if they fall in love with the child they are going to give away, it will tear out their hearts when that time comes. This book had strong emotions.
Love this book. It's a keeper.

The female character Angelina has just discovered that the baby she is carrying from her recent IVF treatment is actually the baby of the male character Dominic and his late wife, after a mix up at the IVF clinic caused the wrong embryo to be implanted. Angelina has been through a rough time recently, her husband was unhappy with the results of the mix up and wanted her to abort the baby, after she refused she found out he was having an affair and is now in the process of a divorce with her husband leaving her with almost nothing and trying to take the house her mother left her.
Angelina knows that she doesn't have the resources to bring up the baby herself and wants to selflessly give the baby to it's rightful parents. Dominic is suspicious of Angelina, as he is a very rich man he can't see why she wouldn't want something out of him. He moves Angelina into his home in order to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't change her mind about giving up the baby.
I really liked this book, it's very emotional and the love that develops between Angelina and Dominic is beautifully crafted. I really liked how Trish Morey wrote Angelina to be a really honest and genuine character; she knows she doesn't have a lot and doesn't have any delusions of grandeur relating to her life, she simply wants to live a normal life in her normal working class neighbourhood. Dominic is also a well written character with complex issues. His distrust of Angelina is constantly tested by Angelina's selfless behaviour and he really goes on a journey of self discovery in order to trust and realise his love for her.
A great book!

This was my first book by Trish Morey and I will look for others by this author. It was a great read, and I found I couldn't put the book down. The author did a great job of taking a topic that was a little far-fetched and making it very real. Angelina Cameron is in a terrible marriage. She decides to go forward with invitro with the hopes that a child will fix their marriage. Unfortunately she finds that she has been impregnated with the wrong embryo and is carrying another man's child. Dominic Pirelli will never get over mourning the loss of his wife. If only they could have had a child together. He is surprised to find that someone other than his wife is carrying his child.
From here, all I will say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY COULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN LONGER!!!!??!? It was amazing and one of the best third person books I have read in a long time. It had an amazing and very unusual plot but that made it all the more different and unique. You don't see many I'm having your baby even though we've never done it or even met books. At least not that I've seen or read.
This was a phenomenal book and I just wished it was from first or second person perspective because either could have been so much better! There was so much emotion as it is even if you didn't get it straight from them it still made my eyes water. This was passionate and riveting and the characters were very distinct and personal. This was was amazing and and it sucks how they dont have sequels for the harlequin desire books!!

I wasn't sure why I added this book to my to-read list. I guess I was intrigued how the hell she could be pregnant with his child if they do not know each other. I wonder how he didn't sue hospital for that? Or how her greedy husband didn't think about that?
The story is ok. I missed the way the fall in love with each other. I guess that was love from the first sight. And I also need to say that I expected more from his assistant. She was so envious in the beginning that I though they must be sleeping together. But then she went away and didn't bother them anymore. I think it's a waist of a storyline and would add another spoon of drama into the plot. I think it was a little insipid.

The h is so pathetic that I quickly lost respect for her and the lost any interest in reading about a HEA that is inevitable. The h's husband leaves her for a teen girlfriend and takes all the furniture, the car and sues for half her house that her mom leaves her. To top it all she is pregnant with someone else(H whom she had never met yet)'s kid due to a clinical error. All that she does is lie down and talk about half her house to H whose baby she carries.

I looooved this book! I simply couldn't put it down. From beginning to end, I was drawn into the story. It had lots of twists and turns that I didn't expect. *I haven't read a Trish Morey book yet that I didn't like.

I always enjoy Trish's books and The Heir from Nowhere is really good. I looooved the opening scenes and wondered how on earth the hero and heroine were going to get together.

I didn't really care for this novel. It all seemed so unemotional and unattached.

Oldukça sıradışı bir kurgusu olan bir romandı ki taşıyıcı anne konulu hikayeleri hiç sevmem aslında. Ama bu oldukça güzel bir hikayedi. Çok sevdim...

Such a terrible story!
September 30, 2022
This romance was enjoyable, but I had a few issues with it. I liked the later relationship that developed between Angie and Dominic, especially their connection over their shared background. I also liked how Angie's relationship with the baby was handled. It explored all the different emotions an accidental surrogate might undergo without judgement towards Angie. Nevertheless, I really disliked how judgemental Dominic was towards Angie at the beginning of the book. I also hated how a character with anorexia was handled. It felt that all the focus on the loved ones around the character, not acknowledging the suffering that a person with anorexia undergoes. Of course, the loved ones around an anorexic person deserve to have their story and their pain heard, but it should not at the expense of the sick person. At one point, the character is even called "shallow". Anorexia is not a moral failing - it is a disease. Stop shaming mental illness. It does not achieve anything but more pain.
cw: talk of abortion, anorexia (side character), shaming of anorexia, emotional abuse (not between Dominic and Angie), poverty, mentions of cancer and parental death

4.5 stars ⭐️
I was in mood for some IVF-baby mix up HP romance. And this book delivered that and more.
Loved the hero and heroine. I especially loved the scene were hero took a walk to his childhood . That doesn’t happen usually. I could clearly see the impact heroine was having on hero. And he was compassionate to her from the beginning about her situation. Eventhough at some place his disdain about appearance of poverty stricken-morning sickness suffering heroine rankled. It was somewhat soothing to hear him saying her, she is perfect later. And I also liked that there wasn’t OTT mention of his dead wife. Just what is necessary. Epilogue I loved.

Loved the hero and heroine. I especially loved the scene were hero took a walk to his childhood . That doesn’t happen usually. I could clearly see the impact heroine was having on hero. And he was compassionate to her from the beginning about her situation. Eventhough at some place his disdain about appearance of poverty stricken-morning sickness suffering heroine rankled. It was somewhat soothing to hear him saying her, she is perfect later. And I also liked that there wasn’t OTT mention of his dead wife. Just what is necessary. Epilogue I loved.
Recommended.

Atsitiktinumas ir laiminga meilės istorija. Kaip ir kiekviena svajonių romano knyga ši taip pat pilna dvejonių, žmonių kurie galvoja viena, o sako kitą. Knyga kuri banali, bet tuo pačiu savyje turi kažką ko kiekvienas norime iš gyvenimo, amžinos meilės ir noro, kad niekada nebūtum vienas.

The last couple of Harlequin books I’ve read have been damn good. This one was just as great and didn’t disappoint.

I enjoyed this book. Read it in one sitting as I was pulled in. I didn't care for Dominic's judgements of Angelina, especially since it was revealed that he grew up in an area close by. It made him come off as a snob and he was very harsh (especially his thoughts about him not wanting to slum- OUCH). Especially at first when he seemed to kind of relish kicking the woman who clearly from appearance looked like life had put the wringer. Despite all that, he did win me over with his apologies and realizing that he was completely wrong about Angelina. I also didn't understand how he was supposedly so in love with his first wife Carla when she came across as a very shallow and insecure woman (to which doesn't speak very highly of him). I really felt for Angelina- how many bad experiences and how many ways can life kick a person so that they really are down and out?! These two had a very emotional journey. I really did like the contrast between the two women's relationships with Dominic though. Carla was the black cloud while Angelina brought light in his life.

"Tu non mi conosci, ma io ti darò un erede..."
Il preciso, luccicante e ordinato mondo che Dominic Pirelli ha impiegato una vita a costruire crolla improvvisamente nel momento in cui una donna mai sentita prima pronuncia al telefono quelle incredibili parole. Sebbene diffidi delle intenzioni di questa sconosciuta, Dominic acconsente a incontrarla: suo figlio, quel figlio che ha sempre sognato di avere, non può crescere lontano da lui! Ciò che non immaginava era di restare ammaliato dalla forza e dalla bellezza di Angelina Cameron, che in breve tempo non sarà più per lui una semplice sconosciuta.

I cried... I empathized. I was baffled by one thing though. Wasn't she still Mrs. Cameron???

I enjoyed the basic plot and the writing was really good. I just didn't like the plot pacing. Spoilers below!!!!

Obviously her and Shayne got divorced, but there was almost no mention of that after she moved in. I felt that was on opened side plot that could have been closed in a conversation. I'm not sure why the character Simone was introduced, unless it was a play to expose Angie's feelings towards him...?
