First things first, thank you NetGalley and Innes Field LLC for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

If you enjoy RH then this is the book for you. Making Her Theirs was mainly a smut read with a pinch of plot and no character development, definitely gives den of vipers vibes but way lighter, if you know you know. Which is honestly ok and doesn’t make it a bad book, but it was a pretty quick read. The only thing I would change, and it’s 100% a personal preference, is the author righting the words how “they would be pronounced” with that accent.

If you want a book that’s filled with spice this is for you. If I was a single girl alone in a country and 3 brothers wanted me, I would be just like Georgia. I like that all 3 brothers are different due to how they reacted to their parents leaving them. I would say there isn’t a lot to the plot but the plot is getting owned by them so technically the plot was fulfilled. It’s a good quick spicy ready that will leave you panting.

This book had solid potential to be great. While the sexy times were sexy it did touch on some emotional traumas from their past and I felt it and the story should’ve and could’ve been expanded a bit more. It’s a quick read but left me feeling like the story wasn’t finished.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC book in exchange for an honest review.

This story is about Georgia who travels to Scotland for 10 days for work and upon her return should would be moving into her own home with a promotion. But does that actually happen?

While in Scotland she meets three amazing brothers. All three are different and noncommittal but each have the fiercest blue eyes. Then they meet Georgia on her very first night in Scotland and she becomes their obsession. Their need. Their forever. She falls for them all of them more than she could ever imagine. What happens? You will have to read to find out.

This book has a lot of RH erotic scenes. It is easy to read and there is some minor character development with two of the MMC. The other MMC and FMC do not have any. The plot is mild but there is a plot that grows over the book. This was a good book.

It is not a very long book and Lily Manning was able to get everything that needed to be in the book and about the characters in the page she did write. There are 133 pages. Any longer and it would have been drawn out. It was a good short read.

I would recommend this book. I enjoyed it. It will not be suited for everyone because of the Reverse Harem Trope so make sure you are comfortable with that before you read.

Again thank you NetGallery for the ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley and Innes Field LLC for an ARC in return for an honest review.

This was a good afternoon read - light, quick and full of spice. It was a short read, and I wish it was a longer story that I could've sunk my teeth into. I didn't overly mind the insta-love aspect, though I know a few out there will. I do however think if that timeline was expanded, the relationship developing over a little more time - I would've given this a 5 star.

I really loved that the characters were flawed, and their issues fit the story. One of my favourite parts was that Knox was more than just his muscles - he was smart (And that was damn sexy). The three brothers were very well written, and complimented each other so well. They each provided something Georgia was needing, and while she helped the men, they helped her find her home which was sweet and I loved.

The spicy scenes were well done *chefs kiss*

All In all I did enjoy this book and I'm glad I read it. I just hope that maybe the author might consider adding to the story and elevating it from good to great! (in my humble opinion)

Again this review is my honest opinion, and the views I've expressed are mine.

Well this was a spicy as he'll!
A really quick read that gets pretty much straight down to business. Great if you don't want much of a story with your smut.

In the opening of Making Her Theirs, you will immediately be transported into a world of passion and great desire. The backdrop of Edinburgh adds an enchanting aspect to the story, and when Georgia is finally introduced to all three brothers (meeting Lachlan was a coincidence) the story begins.

Lily Manning's narrative prowess morphs the story into a thematic read. Unraveling the elements that make this book a compelling choice for those seeking an unforgettable reading experience. Manning seamlessly weaves spice and plot together creating a story that will leave you wanting more. I definitely wanted more by the end!

Each of the brothers is perfection. With Lachlan being my favorite! As the story unfurls you will see what each of the men brings to the story and how they can't help but love her and enhance her. And, her them.

"With Lachlan, she’s worshipped. Finn, she’ll have fun. With me, she wants to be dominated."

Knox is serious. Georgia wants to be dominated, and Knox obliges. Beyond that, he is the glue to the brothers. Having to take up that role as "father" since their parents basically said, "We're out your turn". While he is the strong one, Georgia allows him to be more. Softening him, and allowing him to see his life in ways he never thought possible.

In contrast, Finn brings the lightheartedness that Georgia needs. He is fun and you can lose yourself in his eyes. Finn sees himself with Georgia from the moment their "encounter" ends. He is possessive (in the best way possible).

Finally, Lachlan is the most closed-off. He has been the most affected by his parent's abandonment, often falling in dark moments. Lachlan stole my heart from the moment of his introduction. And now he is on my growing list of book boyfriends.

"Home, I’ve found my home."

Making Her Theirs brings such good chemistry and tension. Adding gasoline to the fire that is my reverse harem era. I think that my only complaint is that it was too short. And while from beginning to end, the more I read the more that I didn't want it to end.

Okay, so what do I rate it? 5 STARS. Furthermore, it was everything that I needed, wanted, and more. I will be adding Lily Manning to my auto-buy author list, reading anything she writes from this point forward.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author Lily Manning for an eArc to review for my honest opinion.

Making Her Theirs will release on Kindle on August 23, 2023.

Happy Reading Readers

This is a well written reverse harem book. It is a fast developing plot with a sexual confident women who knows what she wants. I couldn’t put it down! I love how the main character had individual connections with each brother, Knox, Finn and Lachlan unlike other reverse harems. This is a perfect and detailed spicy book! I can’t wait for Georgia’s friend, Darcie’s book to come out!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really wanted to like this book. It needed another comb through with an editor as there were words missing or used incorrectly. The whole story line felt so incredibly rushed and was very insta love. I wish we got more depth in the characters, who they were and that they had more time to develop their relationship both individually as well as together. It just felt like this 10 day span that the story covered was way too fast. This story has potential to be fantastic with a little more refining and a little bit more length to the whole storyline.

A fun, quick very sexy read. Not very full of character build up or story intrigue but great for an intense rh read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

The plot has promise although I'm not a huge fan of RH with siblings I wanted to give this a chance. Georgia is the main character who travels to Edinburgh for a vacation and meets three brothers in short order, Knox, Finn, and Lachlan. The main focus seems to be the sex scenes which are decent but kinda unrealistic in my opinion.

Unfortunately, this book is just not for me. I have to DNF it at 23%. Some of the phrasing in this is clunky and awkward. I think it could be an interesting and enjoyable read with some tweaks

What does this book have?
Sexy Irish men? Yep
A sassy southern woman as the mc? Yep
Reverse Harem? Yep
HEA? Yep

This book is a great short read. The guys in the book all grew a little but Georgia was already a confident woman who knew what she wanted. This book was fun and I would love to read more from the series. I think for me this was a great novella style book.

I don't know where to begin with my review of this book.

I think the idea of the book was good and if done well it may be something that could have been really enjoyed, however, this book missed the mark for me

All of the characters were info-dumpy and, I don't know how to explain this feeling, but you know the thought process you sometimes get when a man writes a woman, think that but opposite. These men were very *I don't do feelings*, *I will never settle down*, etc, and some men can have those views and I don't mind when this is done in a book, but when it is done well and in this case, it was not.

Also the FMC just hit me the wrong way, she had her priorities completely out of order and to me was not well thought out.

I understand that this is considered a short book, but could have still been executed better.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for my advanced readers copy of Making Her Theirs by Lily Manning.

In Edinburgh Scotland there is a popular bar and running that bar is three handsome brothers. Georgia is in town for a work trip when she meets Knox (the broody one), Finn (the charismatic one), and Lachlan (the sensitive one). They all fall in love with Georgia and she falls in love with them. But when Georgia’s work trip is coming to an end will they be able to stay together? Find out is this very heated, steamy, and passionate reverse harem romance novel.

This book was not my cup of tea. It was well written grammatically but the story was lacking. It was mostly spice with a pinch of plot. Which isn’t a bad thing, but it left me wanting more of the story. I wanted to learn more about Georgia and her job. Lachlan was also a character I would’ve like to learn more about. He had a very relatable mental state in my opinion. He was hurt by his past, but was learning how to cope with it in his own ways. Overall this novel had a lot of potential for character development and a good story line. But it mostly focused on the passion and romance between the characters. Which if you are looking for a quick, easy, short, and VERY steamy read this book is definitely for you.

I’m very conflicted on this book - there were so many positives, but some things that were hard to get past as well.

This is the author’s first RH book, and it was 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ ! The RH scenes stacked up to many that I’ve read from more experienced authors in this genre. There were no shortages of these scenes either, and at less than 150 pages the vast majority of chapters were centered on these scenes. The MMCs in this book are also average citizens - well off, but not in the mafia/underworld/high society way almost every RH book I read has. It was surprising to see a brother RH of 'normal' people, and it's not something I've seen before.

With such a short book, there isn’t a lot of plot or character development, but it’s pretty clear up front what you’re signing up for. The biggest drawback for me was the actual writing style - the sentences were very choppy (almost as if in a verbal rather than written style), which was disorienting in the beginning. There were also several grammatical mistakes, and the writing didn’t flow very well.

This book was a super quick and fun read, but if you’re looking for more plot than spice, this definitely wouldn’t be the right pick for you!

Wow. Holy Moly.

I absolutely devoured this book in less than a day and it did not disappoint 🔥 I swear, after reading this book I’m ready to pack my suitcase and move to Edinburgh.

This book has everything you need.. why choose, reverse harem, brothers & strangers to lovers!

The dynamic between then brothers was perfect as was the super charged relationship between them and Georgia.

Overall I’d say this book was a super quick spicy read that’s easy to follow and addictive from the get go.

I can’t read to read all about Killian & Darcie.

🌶️ - 5/5
⭐️- 5/5

"You are my want
My need
My every desire"

Wow.....I need an ice bath to cool down from all that HEAT.
Although it was a shorter book, I really enjoyed the quickness of the relationship building (no slow burns here!).
The dynamic of the four characters and how they interact with each other, sharing their love for Georgia in three totally different but necessary ways, was perfect. The way each of the three MMCs' personalities are built and strengthened throughout the book was excellent and showcased how quick developments in a shorter book is supposed to be done.

The ending was superb and filled my heart and mind with everything I needed in a book like this. I can't wait to read the next one!

First off, thank you NetGalley and Innes Field LLC for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ok, I am going to make this short and to the point! This was just not my cup of tea! If you enjoy RH then this is the book for you. Making Her Theirs was mainly a smut read with a pinch of plot and no character development. I am not criticizing the book and I know others will love it. However, it just was not for me. ⭐️⭐️

Quick read, but oh so delicious! How I just love a well written reverse harem…. Honestly I could have easily read a couple hundred more pages with these amazing characters. Looking forward to reading more from this well balanced, toe curling scene author.
My only hope would be for the drink on the cover of the book reflect the drink in the book that Finn first offers her, twist of lemon on the rim with a spring of rosemary.
